Information About Each Fund's Expenses

 

syf_top_margin5As an investor, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, each Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended January 31, 2005.

The tables illustrate each Fund's expenses in two ways:

Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Portfolio Management Review

 

syf_top_margin4In the following interview, Portfolio Managers Christine C. Haddad and Joseph Benevento discuss the market environment and the portfolio team's approach to managing Scudder YieldWise Funds during the most recent semiannual period ended January 31, 2005.

Q:  Will you discuss the market environment during the six-month period?

A:  The year 2004 began with positive economic momentum that carried over from 2003. US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was a healthy 4% for the first quarter of 2004, but job growth, a leading indicator of the health of the US economy, remained weak. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) seemed as if it might hold short-term interest rates steady for all of last year, which would have kept money market interest rates at a low level. As we moved into the second quarter of 2004, however, the rate of job growth picked up substantially. The early April non-farm payroll report showing that 300,000 jobs had been added indicated that the economy was in full recovery, meaning that the Fed would begin to raise rates. It also indicated that the yield curve would steepen substantially, meaning that longer-term money market yields would move higher in relation to shorter-term yields.1

1 Yield Curve — a graph with a left-to-right line that shows how high or low yields are, from the shortest to the longest maturities. Typically (and when the yield curve is characterized as ``steep'' this is especially true) the line rises from left to right as investors who are willing to tie up their money for a longer period of time are rewarded with higher yields.

With the job market back on track, the Fed raised short-term interest rates by 25 basis points (.25%) in June and at each of its four remaining meetings from July to December, to 2.25% on December 14, 2004. In the second half of the year, the US economic expansion displayed resiliency, maintaining a 4% growth rate while weathering a spike in oil prices up to $55 per barrel. One-year money market rates leveled off, as the market perceived that higher energy prices would dampen economic growth and lessen the need for the Fed to take action against inflation by hiking rates in a more aggressive fashion.

As we moved into the fourth quarter of 2004, inflationary pressures indeed began to take hold, and concern over the depreciation of the US dollar emerged as a financial market signal.2 However, the decisive conclusion to a tight presidential contest relieved much of the uncertainty that investors had felt at the start of the quarter. At the end of December, longer-term money market rates moved higher, reflecting a renewed confidence that the economy was on a firm footing and the Fed would continue to raise short-term interest rates at a "measured" pace. This reassured many investors that one-year money market rates would continue to move up in an orderly fashion. The one-year LIBOR rate, an industry standard for measuring one-year money market rates, closed 2004 at 3.10%, its highest level since March 2002.3 At the end of January, LIBOR stood at 3.26%.

2 A falling US dollar, caused by the US trade deficit, means that large foreign holders of US currency in the form of US Treasury securities may need to be compensated in the future with sharply higher interest rates to keep them from selling off their dollars in quantity and making foreign goods prohibitively expensive for US businesses and consumers. From time to time in recent months, a falling dollar has made some market participants more concerned that interest rates will spike.

3 LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate, is the most widely used benchmark or reference rate for short-term interest rates. LIBOR is the rate of interest at which banks borrow funds from other banks, in large volume, in the international market.

Q:  How did the funds perform over the most recent semiannual period?

A:  For the period, the funds registered favorable performance and achieved their stated objective of seeking maximum current income consistent with stability of principal (in the case of the Municipal Money Fund, to provide maximum current income that is exempt from regular federal taxes to the extent consistent with stability of principal).

Q:  In light of market conditions during the period, what has been the strategy for Scudder YieldWise Money Fund?

A:  In the second quarter, as we stated above, one-year money market rates rose sharply in response to concerns that the Fed would raise short-term interest rates aggressively over the next 12 to 24 months. Our strategy was to substantially decrease average maturity in order to reduce risk, limiting our purchases to three-month maturity issues and shorter.4 As we moved into the third quarter and short-term rates stabilized, we continued to reduce the fund's weighted average maturity, believing that higher oil prices were a short-term phenomenon and that a subsequent retraction in oil prices would allow the economy to continue on a steady growth path. Thus, to reduce risk further, we adjusted average maturity downward in expectation of future Fed rate hikes. As the fourth quarter began, and the yield curve once again began to steepen, we moved the fund's weighted average maturity down to an average of 40 days. We believe the fund's current positioning is in line with the market's expectation of a steady series of fed funds rate hikes. It also positions the fund for a possible increase of inflationary pressures, which could mean faster and sharper short-term interest rate increases by the Fed.

4 Shorter-term securities are generally less risky than longer-term securities, and are therefore potentially more attractive in a difficult environment.

During the semiannual period, we maintained a significant allocation in floating-rate securities. The interest rate of floating-rate securities adjusts periodically based on indices such as LIBOR and the federal funds rate. Because the interest rates of these instruments adjust as market conditions change, they provide flexibility in an uncertain interest rate environment. Our decision to increase the fund's allocation in this sector helped performance during the period.

Q:  What has been the strategy for Scudder YieldWise Government & Agency Money Fund?

A:  Many investors have been waiting out the Federal Reserve's well-telegraphed series of interest rate hikes, and this has resulted in a ``flight to quality'' into government money market securities. For this reason, Treasury bills and Agency securities have become more expensive, and we have therefore increased the fund's allocation in repurchase agreements.5 In addition, we have shortened the weighted average maturity of the fund as a precautionary measure given the rising rate environment. Going forward, we will continue to monitor economic and inflation indicators to determine the speed in which interest rates may rise.

5 Repurchase Agreements (Repos) — an agreement between a seller and a buyer, usually of government securities, where the seller agrees to repurchase the securities at a given price and usually at a stated time. Repos are widely used money market instruments that serve as an interest bearing, short-term ``parking place'' for large sums of money.

Q:  What has been the strategy for Scudder YieldWise Municipal Money Fund?

A:  We continued to focus on the highest-quality investments for the Municipal Money Fund while seeking competitive yields across the municipal investment spectrum. During the period, the tax-free money markets were forced to adjust to dramatic changes in supply, due to (1) the $15 billion of supply from California's Revenue Anticipation Notes and Revenue Anticipation Warrants that had entered the market back in October 2003, followed by (2) the sudden withdrawal of this supply from the market last June as California refunded the $15 billion of short-term debt, issuing longer-term debt in its place. It took over a month for the markets, and tax-exempt interest rates, to adjust after this significant withdrawal of supply. (A severe short-term squeeze on supply tends to push prices of tax-exempt money market securities higher, and their yields significantly lower.) Though we were invested in essential-service (such as water resource/power supply-related) bonds from California agencies and counties over the period, we avoided adding new state of California issues because of the state's unsettled financial situation.

Another event that created a temporary imbalance in the tax-free money markets was Microsoft's $30 billion dividend paid in December 2004. Because of automated exchanges of some of this money from brokerage accounts into tax-free money market funds, this event created a surge in demand for floating-rate securities and put significant downward pressure on their yields. Eventually, year-end redemptions and new issuance brought supply and demand within the tax-exempt money market back into balance.

During the reporting period, we maintained a cautious stance by shifting the fund's weighted average maturity to an average of 29 days. The fund also has a targeted portfolio allocation of 75% of assets in floating-rate securities and 25% in fixed-rate instruments. Our decision to increase our floating-rate position helped performance during the period. The interest rate of floating-rate securities adjusts periodically based on indices such as the Bond Market Association Index of Variable Rate Demand Notes.6 Because the interest rates of these instruments adjust as market conditions change, they provide flexibility in an uncertain interest rate environment. In addition, we continued to focus on the highest-quality investments while seeking competitive yields. In particular, we emphasized essential-services revenue issues and what is known as enhanced paper, i.e., securities guaranteed by a third party such as a bank or insurance company.

6 The Bond Market Association Index of Variable Rate Demand Notes is a weekly high-grade market index comprising seven-day tax-exempt variable rate demand notes produced by Municipal Market Data Group. Actual issues are selected from Municipal Market Data's database of more than 10,000 active issues.

Q:  What detracted from performance during the period?

A:  In December, we kept additional cash on hand — as we do each year — to meet any tax-related redemptions as well as investors' year-end liquidity needs. This detracted somewhat from yield and total return.

Q:  Will you describe your investment philosophy?

A:  We continue our insistence on the highest credit quality within the funds. We also plan to maintain our conservative investment strategies and standards. We continue to apply a careful approach to investing on behalf of the funds and to seek competitive yield for our shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

syf_top_margin0A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder YieldWise Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust currently offers three investment funds (the "Funds"). Each Fund takes its own approach to money market investing. Scudder YieldWise Money Fund emphasizes yield through a more diverse universe of investments, while Scudder YieldWise Government & Agency Money Fund, emphasizes government securities. Scudder YieldWise Municipal Money Fund invests for federally tax-free income.

The Funds' 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 Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian or sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the market value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Fund has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Fund's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Federal Income Taxes. Each 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 and tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provisions were required.

At July 31, 2004, the Scudder YieldWise Money Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforwards of approximately $5,000 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until July 31, 2010, the expiration date, whichever occurs first.

Distribution of Income. Net investment income of each Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book-to-tax differences for the Funds.

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

Expenses. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust.

Contingencies. In the normal course of business, each Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, each Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for 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 discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

B. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreements with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"), the Advisor directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their 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 Funds. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreements. Each Fund pays a monthly investment management fee of 1/12 of the annual rate of 0.50% of the first $215,000,000 of each Fund's average daily net assets, 0.375% of the next $335,000,000 of such net assets, 0.30% of the next $250,000,000 of such net assets and 0.25% of such net assets in excess of $800,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.

Effective December 1, 2003, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay operating expenses of each Fund as follows: for Scudder YieldWise Money Fund, to the extent necessary to maintain the Fund's total operating expenses at no more than 0.55%; for Scudder YieldWise Government & Agency Money Fund, to the extent necessary to maintain the Fund's total operating expenses at no more than 0.54%; for Scudder YieldWise Municipal Money Fund, to the extent necessary to maintain the Fund's total operating expenses at no more than 0.63%. The waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice.

Accordingly, for the six months ended January 31, 2005, the Funds incurred the following management fees:

The Funds paid insurance premiums to an unaffiliated insurance broker in 2002 and 2003. This broker in turn paid a portion of its commissions to an affiliate of the Advisor, which performed certain insurance brokerage services for the broker. The Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Fund in 2005 for the portion of commissions (plus interest) paid to the affiliate of the Advisor attributable to the premiums paid by the Fund. The amounts for 2002 and 2003 were as follows:

Service Provider Fees. Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer, dividend-paying and shareholder service agent of the Trust. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. SISC compensates DST out of the Shareholder Servicing Fee it receives from the Funds. For the six months ended January 31, 2005, the amounts charged to the Funds by SISC were as follows:

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Trust pays each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

C. Expense Reductions

For the six months ended January 31, 2005, the Advisor agreed to reimburse each Fund which represents a portion of the fee savings expected to be realized by the Advisor related to the outsourcing by the Advisor of certain administrative services to an unaffiliated service provider in the following amounts:

Each Fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of each Fund's expenses. During the six months ended January 31, 2005, no transfer agent credits were earned by the Funds. During the six months ended January 31, 2005, the Funds' custodian fees were reduced as follows:

D. Line of Credit

The Funds 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 Funds may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of their net assets under the agreement.

E. 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. It is not possible 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, the funds' investment advisors and their affiliates, certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each Scudder fund's investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable Scudder funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or related to the pending inquiries. Based on currently available information, the funds' investment advisors believe 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 their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the Scudder funds.

The Board of the Scudder YieldWise Funds approved, in principle, the following mergers into the Acquiring Scudder Funds.
