This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. To obtain a prospectus for any of our funds, refer to the Account Management Resources information provided in the back of this booklet. We advise you to consider the fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the fund. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Investments in mutual funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. The fund invests in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Investments in securities of foreign issuers present greater risks than investments in domestic securities, including currency fluctuations and changes in political/economic conditions. Foreign security markets generally exhibit greater price volatility and are less liquid than the US market. Moreover, this fund is nondiversified and can take larger positions in fewer companies, increasing its overall risk potential. Please read this fund's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

Scudder Investments is part of Deutsche Asset Management, which is the marketing name in the US for the asset management activities of Deutsche Bank AG, Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc., Deutsche Asset Management Inc., Deutsche Asset Management Investment Services Ltd., Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and Scudder Trust Company.

Fund shares are not FDIC-insured and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any bank. Fund shares involve investment risk, including possible loss of principal.


Performance Summary April 30, 2004


Classes A, B and C

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance.

The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is 4% within the first year after purchase, declining to 0% after six years. Class C shares have no adjustment for front-end sales charges but redemptions within one year of purchase may be subject to a CDSC of 1%. Unadjusted returns do not reflect sales charges and would have been lower if they had.

Returns and rankings during all periods shown reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns and rankings would have been lower.

Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the sale of fund shares. Returns and rankings may differ by share class.

Returns shown for Class A, B and C shares prior to June 18, 2001 are derived from the historical performance of Class S shares of the Scudder Global Bond Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses of each specific class. Any difference in expenses will affect performance.

On December 27, 1995, the Fund adopted its current name and objectives. Prior to that date, the Fund was known as the Scudder Short Term Global Income Fund and its investment objective was to provide high current income through short-term instruments.

Portfolio Management Review


In the following interview, the portfolio management team (Brett Diment, Anthony Fletcher, Annette Fraser, Nik Hart, Stephen Ilott, Keith Patton and Ian Winship) discusses Scudder Global Bond Fund's strategy and the market environment for the six-month period ended April 30, 2004.

Q: Will you discuss the performance of the world bond markets during the period?

A: Despite a broad sell-off that occurred in the final three weeks of the reporting period, the global bond markets produced slightly positive returns for the six months ended April 30, 2004. The interval from November through March brought a continuation of the favorable investment backdrop that was in place for most of 2003. Even though global economic growth continued to improve significantly, bond markets were helped by tame reported inflation and the continued low interest rate policies of the majority of the world's central banks.

The environment for bonds changed abruptly in the first week of April, however, with the release of the March payroll data in the United States. After several months of disappointing results, the report revealed that 308,000 jobs had been created in March, far exceeding the market's consensus expectation of 123,000 new jobs. Prior to this report, the feeling among most investors was that even though the economy was strong, the US Federal Reserve would not raise short-term interest rates until the recovery was accompanied by stronger jobs growth. But with the release of this number, the market began to anticipate that the Fed would in fact begin to raise rates as soon as the middle of this year. Bonds generally sold off as a result: In the United States, for example, the yield on the 10-year note climbed to 4.50% by April 30 from its 3.7%-3.8% range of mid-to-late March. (Rising bond yields reflect falling prices.) This sell-off, which affected nearly all of the world's bond markets, erased the majority of the gains achieved in the previous five months.

Q: How did the fund perform in this environment?

A: The total return for Class A shares of Scudder Global Bond Fund for the six months ended April 30, 2004, was 1.42% (Returns are unadjusted for sales charges. If sales charges had been included, returns would have been lower. Please see pages 3 through 8 for the performance of other share classes and additional performance information.) This compares with a return of 3.10% for the fund's benchmark, the Citigroup World Government Bond Index.1

1 The Citigroup World Government Bond Index is an unmanaged index of worldwide fixed-rate government bonds with remaining maturities greater than one year. Index returns assume reinvested dividends and capital gains and do not reflect fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Q: Why did the fund underperform?

A: In last autumn's annual report, we noted that most of the elements of our strategy helped performance, with the exception of the fund's currency positioning. This proved to be the case again during the past six months. The primary reason for underperformance is the fact that the fund holds a 59% weighting in US dollars compared to a 28% US dollar weighting for the benchmark.2 At the times when the dollar is weak against foreign currencies - as was the case in 2003 and early 2004 - the fund's overweight in dollars generally results in underperformance.3 Conversely, when the dollar rallies against foreign currencies - as it did from mid-February through the close of the period - performance should benefit from the overweight.

2 "Hedging" means that we buy securities that will set the fund's currency exposure at a certain level. For instance, if the fund holds 25% in US dollar bonds, we will buy securities that bring its currency position to 50% (for example) without having to add to its bond position.
3 "Overweight" means a fund holds a higher weighting in a given sector, country or currency than the benchmark index, indicating that the fund's performance versus the benchmark is relatively likely to benefit if the sector, country or currency in question beats the overall market. "Underweight" means a fund holds a lower weighting than the benchmark, indicating that the fund will benefit if the sector, country or currency in question underperforms the market as a whole.

This approach is designed to mitigate the impact of currency movements on the fund, since a larger exposure to foreign currencies should be expected to result in higher share price volatility. In addition, this approach allows us to focus on the areas in which we believe we can add the most value: country allocations and individual security selection.

Q: What are some other notable aspects of the fund's positioning?

A: The fund is underweight in the Japanese bond market, and this helped performance substantially, as the economic data coming out of Japan during the reporting period was very positive. The country's economy has continued to strengthen, the banking sector is starting to look healthier, business and consumer confidence have improved, and the stock market has continued to attract funds. The consumer price index (excluding foods), which had fallen as much as 0.4% in June 2003 (indicating ongoing deflation), has not fallen more than 0.1% in a single month since August 2003. As a result, we believe the outlook for Japan's bond market remains unfavorable even if - as we expect - the Bank of Japan chooses not to raise interest rates.4

4 Yields in the bond market can rise (as prices fall) even if a central bank chooses not to raise short-term interest rates, since investors may elect to sell solely on the anticipation that positive economic data will lead to an increase in short-term rates at some point in the future.

In Europe, the economic picture is much more mixed. The export sector has benefited from stronger world growth, but the domestic sector remains relatively weak. While it seems unlikely that the European Central Bank will cut interest rates given the strength of the world economy, we see some value in the region at this juncture. European bonds have been trading in conjunction with the US market, yet we believe that in the United States, stronger economic growth is likely to lead to interest rate increases sooner than in Europe. We sought to take advantage of this disconnect by building a small overweight position in Europe toward the end of the period. Over the full six months, the fund's positioning in Europe did not have a significant impact - positive or negative - on relative performance.

Meanwhile, the UK economy continues to benefit from a strong consumer sector, and this has led the Bank of England to raise interest rates to keep the economy from overheating. Expecting that short-term interest rates in the United Kingdom will continue to rise, we are maintaining a neutral position in the market.

Q: The fund continues to hold positions in emerging markets and corporate bonds. How have these performed, and what moves have you made in these areas of the portfolio?

A: When we believe conditions in the bond market are favorable, we may elect to take positions in higher-risk sectors that are not part of the fund's benchmark. These include emerging-markets bonds and corporate issues.

The fund's weighting in emerging-markets bonds performed well, but we have begun to trim this position. While the improving health of the emerging-markets economies continues to provide a positive underpinning, the rising level of uncertainty in the global financial markets - in conjunction with the strong performance of the asset class during the past year - prompted us to take some profits. In this area of the portfolio, we continue to hold positions in Bulgaria, Romania, Venezuela, Jamaica and Turkey, along with reduced weightings in Argentina and Russia. The fund's positions in these countries proved beneficial to relative performance.

The weighting in corporate bonds had a similar positive effect. While we believe the asset class as a whole has now risen to the point where it is fairly valued, we remain positive on its fundamental outlook. As a result, we have sought to take advantage of volatility in select areas, most recently in bonds issued by companies in the industrials and financials sectors.

Q: How is the fund positioned within the United States?

A: We have remained flexible with regard to the fund's positioning in the US market, given that the market's performance has been so volatile and data-driven in recent months. For instance, we reduced the fund's exposure to the United States following a rally in mid-March and then raised the position again in late April following a decline in Treasury prices. This type of trading activity was a positive for performance during the period.

Overall, the fund is underweight in the US market, since we used this position as a source of funds to buy bonds in the emerging markets. While this underweight detracted slightly from performance, this negative result was more than offset by the positive results generated from the fund's emerging-markets position. Looking ahead, we may seek to take advantage of opportunities to add to exposure in the United States, since we believe the market is factoring in aggressive Fed rate increases at a time when continued low inflation should allow the Fed to raise rates in a relatively measured fashion.

Q: Do you have any final thoughts on the current state of the world bond markets?

A: The current period is unique in that investors appear to be on edge in anticipation of higher rates in the United States. We believe this is creating an excessive level of turbulence as investors watch for data that may provide a signal as to when the US Federal Reserve will begin to raise rates. In this potentially volatile environment, we plan to continue emphasizing diversification, and we will seek to use our fundamental research capabilities to take advantage of values as opportunities present themselves. Along this line, we encourage investors to remain mindful of the potential long-term benefits of investing in this asset class rather than focusing on the day-to-day movements of the markets.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder Global Bond Fund (the "Fund") is a non-diversified series of Global/International Fund, Inc. (the "Corporation") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Maryland corporation.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which provide investors with different purchase options. Class A shares are offered to investors subject to an initial sales charge. Class B shares are offered without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years after issuance. Class C shares are offered without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within one year of purchase. Prior to March 1, 2004, Class C shares were offered with an initial sales charge. Class C shares do not convert into another class. Shares of Class AARP are designed for members of AARP. Class S shares of the Fund are generally not available to new investors. Class AARP and S shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution service fees, administrative fees, services to shareholders and certain other class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Investments are stated at value determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Directors of the Fund. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from one or more broker-dealers. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes.

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies and Scudder Cash Management QP Trust are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Directors.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in US dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the disposition of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed but is included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward currency contract") is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign currency denominated portfolio holdings and to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities. The Fund may also engage in forward currency contracts for non-hedging purposes.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain (loss) is recorded daily. Sales and purchases of forward currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any gain (loss) is realized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is realized on settlement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses which represent the difference between the value of a forward currency contract to buy and a forward currency contract to sell are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the Fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At October 31, 2003, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $9,751,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until October 31, 2004 ($736,000), October 31, 2005 ($493,000), October 31, 2006 ($4,858,000), October 31, 2007 ($2,575,000) and October 31, 2008 ($1,089,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first, a portion of which is subject to certain limitations imposed by Sections 382-384 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared and distributed to shareholders monthly. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed, and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences primarily relate to investments in futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign currency denominated investments, certain securities sold at a loss and premium amortization on debt securities. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.

The tax character of current year distributions, if any, will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Expenses. Expenses of the Corporation arising in connection with a specific fund are allocated to that fund. Other Corporation expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the funds in the Corporation.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes, with the exception of securities bought in default.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the six months ended April 30, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments and US Treasury obligations) aggregated $137,579,930 and $136,806,191, respectively. Purchases and sales of US Treasury obligations aggregated $15,498,988 and $19,827,022, respectively.

C. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (DeIM or the "Advisor"), the Advisor directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The management fee payable under the Management Agreement is equal to an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $250,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.72% of the next $750,000,000 of such net assets, 0.70% of the next $1,500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.68% of the next $2,500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.65% of the next $2,500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.64% of the next $2,500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.63% of the next $2,500,000,000 of such net assets, and 0.62% of such net assets in excess of $12,500,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Deutsche Asset Management Investment Services Limited ("DeAMIS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as subadvisor with respect to the investment and reinvestment of assets in the Fund. The Advisor compensates DeAMIS out of the management fee it receives from the Fund.

Effective October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2005, the Advisor has agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or administrative fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses of each class at 1.30% of average daily net assets (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest, Rule 12b-1distribution and/or service fees, director and director counsel fees and organizational and offering expenses.)

In addition, for the period April 1, 2004 through April 30, 2004, the Advisor has agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses of each class at 1.07%, 1.17%, 1.17%, 1.07% and 1.07% of average daily net assets for Class A, B, C, AARP and S shares, respectively (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest, Rule 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, directors and directors' counsel fees and organizational and offering expenses).

Accordingly, for the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Advisor waived a portion of its management fee pursuant to these arrangements aggregating $18,358 and the amount imposed aggregated $698,599, which was equivalent to an annualized effective rate of 0.73% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Administrative Fee. Under the Administrative Agreement, the Advisor provided or paid others to provide substantially all of the administrative services required by the Fund (other than those provided by the Advisor under its Management Agreement with the Fund, as described above) in exchange for the payment by each class of the Fund of an administrative services fee (the "Administrative Fee") of 0.400%, 0.450%, 0.425%, 0.375% and 0.375% of the average daily net assets of Class A, B, C, AARP and S shares, respectively, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.

The Administrative Agreement between the Advisor and the Fund terminated March 31, 2004 and effective April 1, 2004, the Fund directly bears the cost of those expenses formerly covered under the Administrative Agreement.

For the period November 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004, the Administrative Fee was as follows:

Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of the Advisor, is the transfer, shareholder service and dividend-paying agent for Class AARP and S shares of the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between SISC and SSC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), SISC and SSC have delegated certain transfer agent and dividend- paying agent functions to DST. The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by SISC and SSC, not by the Fund.

SFAC has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company to provide certain administrative, fund accounting and record-keeping services to the Fund. For the period April 1, 2004 through April 30, 2004, the amount charged to the Fund by SFAC for accounting services aggregated $28,260, all of which is unpaid at April 30, 2004.

There were no underwriting commissions paid in connection with the distributions of Class C shares for the six months ended April 30, 2004.

In addition, SDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of purchase. There is no such charge upon redemption of any share appreciation or reinvested dividends. The CDSC is based on declining rates ranging from 4% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the value of the shares redeemed. For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the CDSC for Class B and Class C shares was $16,260 and $1,870, respectively.

Directors' Fees and Expenses. The Fund pays each Director not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

Scudder Cash Management QP Trust. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund may invest in the Scudder Cash Management QP Trust (the "QP Trust") and other affiliated funds managed by the Advisor. The QP Trust seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The QP Trust does not pay the Advisor a management fee for the affiliated funds' investments in the QP Trust.

Other Related Parties. AARP through its affiliate, AARP Services, Inc., monitors and oversees the AARP Investment Program from Scudder Investments, but does not act as an investment advisor or recommend specific mutual funds. DeIM has agreed to pay a fee to AARP and/or its affiliates in return for the use of the AARP trademark and services relating to investments by AARP members in AARP Class shares of the Fund. This fee is calculated on a daily basis as a percentage of the combined net assets of the AARP Classes of all funds managed by DeIM. The fee rates, which decrease as the aggregate net assets of the AARP Classes become larger, are as follows: 0.07% for the first $6 billion of net assets, 0.06% for the next $10 billion of such net assets and 0.05% of such net assets thereafter. These amounts are used for the general purposes of AARP and its members.

E. Investing in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States of America. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, delayed settlements and their prices more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States of America.

F. Line of Credit

The Fund and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

H. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations ("inquiries") into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including Scudder Investments. We are unable to determine what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the Scudder funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain Scudder funds, Deutsche Asset Management ("DeAM") and its affiliates, certain individuals, including in some cases Fund Trustees/Directors, and other parties. DeAM has undertaken to bear all liabilities and expenses incurred by the Scudder funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding fund valuation, market timing, revenue sharing or other subjects of the pending inquiries. Based on currently available information, DeAM believes the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a Scudder fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect its ability to perform under its investment management agreements with the Scudder funds.

Privacy Statement


This privacy statement is issued by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc., Deutsche Asset Management, Inc., Scudder Distributors, Inc., Scudder Investor Services, Inc., Scudder Trust Company and the Scudder Funds.

We never sell customer lists or individual client information. We consider privacy fundamental to our client relationships and adhere to the policies and practices described below to protect current and former clients' information. Internal policies are in place to protect confidentiality, while allowing client needs to be served. Only individuals who need to do so in carrying out their job responsibilities may access client information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect confidentiality. These safeguards extend to all forms of interaction with us, including the Internet.

In the normal course of business, clients give us nonpublic personal information on applications and other forms, on our websites, and through transactions with us or our affiliates. Examples of the nonpublic personal information collected are name, address, Social Security number and transaction and balance information. To be able to serve our clients, certain of this client information is shared with affiliated and nonaffiliated third party service providers such as transfer agents, custodians, and broker-dealers to assist us in processing transactions and servicing your account with us. In addition, we may disclose all of the information we collect to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other financial institutions with which we have joint marketing agreements. The organizations described above that receive client information may only use it for the purpose designated by the Scudder Companies listed above.

We may also disclose nonpublic personal information about you to other parties as required or permitted by law. For example, we are required or we may provide information to government entities or regulatory bodies in response to requests for information or subpoenas, to private litigants in certain circumstances, to law enforcement authorities, or any time we believe it necessary to protect the firm.

For AARP shareholders only: Certain investors in the AARP Investment Program are advised that limited nonpublic personal information is shared with AARP and its subsidiary AARP Services Inc. (ASI). This includes an investor's status as a current or former Program participant, name, address, and type of account maintained (i.e. IRA or non-IRA). This information must be shared so that ASI can provide quality control services, such as monitoring satisfaction with the Program. However, AARP and ASI may also use this information for other purposes such as member research, and may share this information with other AARP providers to inform members of AARP benefits and services. Shareholders residing in states with certain state specific privacy restrictions are excluded from this information sharing. All other shareholders may instruct us in writing not to share information regarding themselves or joint account holders with AARP or ASI for any purposes unrelated to the AARP Investment Program. With respect to accounts that are jointly held, an opt-out request received from any of the joint account holders will be applied to the entire account.

(a) The Chief Executive and Financial Officers concluded that the Registrant's

During the filing period of the report, fund management identified a significant

This matter relates primarily to a bill payment processing issue. There was no
material impact to shareholders, fund net asset value, fund performance or the
accuracy of any fund's financial statements. Fund management discussed this
matter with the Registrant's Audit Committee and auditors, instituted additional
procedures to enhance its internal controls and will continue to develop
additional controls and redesign work flow to strengthen the overall control
environment associated with the processing and recording of fund expenses.

(b) There have been no changes in the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the filing period that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's
internal controls over financial reporting.
