Economic Overview


Dear Shareholder:

For the past few years, economic activity has been restrained by the unwinding of the late-1990s boom.

During the boom of the late 1990s, companies invested large quantities of money in equipment to produce goods, and they hired more and more employees at higher salaries. Individuals bought goods and services at a robust pace. And stock prices skyrocketed. Then stock prices tumbled. Consumers, feeling poorer, bought fewer goods. And when demand for their goods slowed, companies slashed capital investment (in equipment, new factories, etc.) and cut jobs. This caused the economy to slow down.

Now we see the economy recovering in a series of starts and stops, thanks to two conflicting factors. On one hand, aggressive government policies have kept the economy from stumbling too badly as companies and individuals adjusted to the slowdown. Low interest rates and tax cuts made it easier for consumers to keep spending money, especially on high-price items such as new homes and cars. And when consumers spent money, businesses were able to manufacture more goods - and continue to make money. On the other hand, increased geopolitical uncertainty - fears of terrorism and worries about the effect of a potential war in Iraq - has made already-hesitant consumers and businesses even more reluctant to spend and expand.

The outlook for 2003 hinges on how these factors play out. The recovery is likely to be slow for two reasons. First, individuals still need to increase their savings levels. And second, businesses still have more equipment, factories and inventories than they need. But government policies should be helpful. The Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates low, and tax relief packages will likely further stimulate spending. And perhaps most importantly, we believe that geopolitical uncertainty will decrease. That doesn't mean that war will be averted in the Middle East. However, any conflict in the Middle East would create the potential for oil prices to increase, which could, in turn, cause a significant shock to the economy.

If these shocks are avoided, the economic recovery should solidify. This will improve the financial markets. We expect the stock market to improve as businesses begin to make money again - but even after the price declines of the past three years, stocks are still not cheap, so returns will likely be lower than they were in the 1980s and 1990s. As for the fixed income market,

interest rates and rates of return on all financial assets will be much lower than in the past few decades. That's because the US is likely to remain in an environment of price stability (i.e., low inflation) similar to the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Of course, there are risks to our forecast. The economic rebound could be more powerful than we anticipate - especially if there is a quick and favorable resolution of tensions in the Middle East. But the rebound also could be less powerful than we anticipate. For example, the economy is especially vulnerable to adverse geopolitical shocks, which could cause already-timid consumers and businesses to hunker down further.

A similar forecast exists for international economies. We expect a modest growth in corporate profits across the board. And foreign stocks are relatively cheap. As a result, we expect single-digit positive returns in the overseas stock markets. However, our optimism is tempered by geopolitical uncertainty and its potential impact on oil.

In the following interview, the portfolio management team discusses Scudder Quantitative Equity Fund's strategy and market environment during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2002 and offers an outlook for the months ahead.

Q: How did Scudder Quantitative Equity Fund perform in 2002?

A: Scudder Quantitative Equity Fund slightly underperformed its unmanaged benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index,1 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2002. The fund produced a return of -23.09% (Investment Class shares) and -23.14 (Institutional Class shares) for the fiscal year, as compared with -22.10% for the benchmark. The fund also underperformed the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Average2 annual return of -21.74%. The broad-based S&P 500 Index is a group of large-company stocks that is not available for direct investment.

Q: What were the primary investment strategies you applied over the 12 months?

A: The fund seeks a total return greater than that of the S&P 500 Index by following a quantitative strategy that integrates an exposure to the S&P 500 Index with investments in the stocks of acquisition targets.3 To pursue its goal of tracking the S&P 500 Index, the fund invests in derivatives and common stocks of S&P 500 companies. To seek returns in excess of the S&P 500 Index, the fund buys shares of companies that are acquisition targets based on specific events that trigger a merger arbitrage opportunity. The goal is to capture the difference between the target's post-bid share price and the target's expected fixed payout. These investments are made based on our own proprietary quantitative models. These shares are sold when the acquisition is consummated or the transaction is abandoned.

3 The fund may invest in derivatives that may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities and the fund could suffer losses on its derivative positions. Mergers and acquisition transactions may be renegotiated, terminated or delayed and in the event that these transactions fail to close or close at a less than expected price per share, the fund may realize losses or a lower return than expected.

The fund did not participate in any merger deals in the 12 months ended December 31, 2002, as our proprietary quantitative models, coupled with concerns over corporate accounting and balance sheet accuracy, put such investments on pause. So too, did the fund's strict criteria in its disciplined merger arbitrage investment approach. For example, the fund purchases only the stock of an announced target company. It also invests only in merger deals that are made with financing of at least 50% cash. Finally, the fund usually invests in acquisition targets with a minimum market capitalization of $500 million, although shares of smaller companies may be purchased.

Q: What were the primary factors affecting the US equity markets during the past year?

A: US equities declined for the third consecutive year, something that has not occurred for the broad market in more than 60 years. However, the S&P 500 Index saw divergent performance within the annual period.

During the first quarter, the S&P 500 Index rose 0.28%, as equities struggled to maintain the momentum of the fourth quarter of 2001. Equities declined soon after the beginning of the first quarter with the decline continuing through mid-February. A rally then started, as the prospects for renewed economic growth rose. Equities responded favorably to statistics that showed the US economy growing at a 1.7% rate during the fourth quarter of 2001 fueled by consumer and government spending. The equity rally lasted into March before faltering during the last two weeks of the first quarter. In the aftermath of the Enron collapse, a credit crunch impacted many companies associated with aggressive accounting practices, including some of the information technology and telecommunications leaders of the late 1990s.

During the second quarter, the S&P 500 Index was down 13.40%, as equities generally declined to levels not seen since lows reached last September after the terrorist attacks on the US. The second quarter decline continued almost unabated with only a slight bounce in early May. Equity markets were severely affected by the growing scandal over corporate accounting practices and continuing credit concerns. Ongoing threats of terrorism, geopolitical instability and questions about the reliability of corporate earnings reports also hung over the markets. With first quarter US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth revised up to 6.1%, expectations for a "double-dip" recession abated, yet investors shrugged off the improving economic climate and concentrated on the almost daily doses of negative headlines.

The S&P 500 Index was down 17.28% for the third quarter, as equities continued their broad-based decline. Equity markets had to endure the one-year anniversary of the September 11th attacks, the threat of war with Iraq, and lowered earnings forecasts from high-profile companies in multiple industries. After bottoming in early October, US equities rebounded sharply in the fourth quarter, with the S&P 500 Index up 8.44%. Even with the powerful rally, the debate continued about whether a true bottom had been reached. Uncertainty about the strength of the economic recovery acted as an overhang along with the growing expectation of war with Iraq. After three years of declines, general expectations at the end of the year were that most of the excesses of the 1990s had been erased, but that any sustained rally would require evidence of continued economic recovery and a dramatic absence of additional corporate scandals.

For the annual period overall, large-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, underperformed mid-cap and small-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index4 and the Russell 2000 Index,5 respectively. Within the large-cap sector, value-oriented stocks outperformed growth-oriented stocks by approximately 2.74%, as measured by the S&P 500 Barra Value Index6 versus the S&P 500 Barra Growth Index.7

4 S&P MidCap 400 Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the stock movement of 400 mid-sized US companies.
5 Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the common stock price movement of the 2,000 smallest companies of the Russell 3000 Index, which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest US companies based on market capitalization.
6 S&P 500 Barra Value Index is a capitalization-weighted index of all the stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 that have low price-to-book ratios.
7 S&P 500 Barra Growth Index is a capitalization-weighted index of all the stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 that have high price-to-book ratios.

Q: Which sectors within the S&P 500 Index were the best and worst performers?

A: For the 12 months, all sectors of the S&P 500 Index produced negative returns. Information technology and telecommunications services led the decline. Consumer staples, materials, energy, financials, and health care also declined, but outperformed the S&P 500 Index as a whole. The financials sector grew in weight within the S&P 500 Index through the annual period, accounting at December 31, 2002 for 20.5% of the Index's market capitalization.

During the fourth quarter, however, sector performance was positive across the board, with telecommunications services and information technology providing the best performance.

Q: How would you characterize the merger and acquisition environment during the year?

A: The pace of merger and acquisition activity was considerably less than robust during 2002, as acquirers dealt with the same concerns as the equity market itself - growing scandal over corporate accounting practices, continuing credit concerns, geopolitical instability and threats of war with Iraq. US merger and acquisition activity volume for 2002 was just $458 billion, its lowest since 1994. This represents an overall decline of nearly 41% since the end of 2001 and gave the US just 37% of the world's market share, down from 45% in 2001. The US was home to the year's largest transaction, the July announcement of Pfizer, Inc. to acquire the US-based Pharmacia for $61.3 billion.

The number of deals announced in the US in 2002 dropped 11% over the previous year. In fact, for the second consecutive year, merger and acquisition announced deals failed to even brush the 10,000 deal plateau, as 2002 saw 6,833 deals cross its table, compared to 2001's count of 7,676. This is the fourth straight year that the US has seen a decline in the number of domestic targets. Notably, the market share for European targets relative to the rest of the world gained, beating out the US for the first time since 1991.

The top ranked sector for announced US transactions in 2002 was health care. The financials sector claimed the top spot on a global basis, followed by energy and power.

Q: What is your outlook for US equities into 2003?

A: The US economic recovery has been modest, restrained by the unwinding of the excesses of the late 1990s boom and, more recently, by heightened geopolitical uncertainty. Looking ahead, we expect the economic recovery to gradually gather momentum in 2003 until above-trend growth is achieved in the second half of the year. Critical to this improvement is our assumption that no major adverse geopolitical shocks occur. We are also expecting macroeconomic policy to remain aggressively stimulative, with the Federal Reserve Board keeping interest rates low well into the new year, and federal tax cuts and spending hikes offsetting cutbacks at the state and local levels. Businesses should respond to diminished geopolitical uncertainty, improving profits, and the fading of corporate scandals by picking up the rate of hiring and investing. Consumer spending is likely to be sustained by improving labor markets, solid income growth, low interest rates and tax cuts. We expect deflation concerns to fade as the recovery solidifies and we expect inflation to remain tame.

Equity markets, in our view, have returned to a range of plausible valuation, largely purging the excesses of the late 1990s. But equity markets are still not cheap, even if profits continue to recover as we expect. Indeed, at current valuations, equities are unlikely to come close on a sustained basis to providing the heady returns of the 1980s and 1990s.

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Quantitative Equity Fund ("Scudder Quantitative Equity Fund" or the "Fund"), a diversified series of the BT Investment Funds (the "Trust"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Quantitative Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a diversified, open-end management investment company advised by Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc."). On December 31, 2002, the Fund owned approximately 100% of the Quantitative Equity Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional and Investment Class. Institutional Class shares are offered to a limited group of investors and have lower ongoing expenses than the Investment Class. Investment Class 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 fees, service fees and certain other class-specific expenses. All other expenses, income, gains and losses are allocated among the classes based upon their relative net assets. 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. The Fund determines the valuation of its investment in the Portfolio by multiplying its proportionate ownership of the Portfolio by the total value of the Portfolio's net assets.

The Portfolio's policies for determining the value of its net assets are discussed in the Portfolio's Financial Statements, which accompany this report.

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 December 31, 2002, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $2,892,000 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until December 31, 2008, ($43,000), December 31, 2009, ($1,804,000), December 31, 2010, ($1,045,000) the expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

In addition, from November 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002, the Fund incurred approximately $97,000 of net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund intends to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Distribution of net investment income, if any, are made annually. 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. 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 net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the Fund's investment in the Portfolio consists of an allocated portion of the Portfolio's appreciation/depreciation. Please refer to the Portfolio for a breakdown of the appreciation/depreciation from investments.

At December 31, 2002, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis are as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*
$ -
Capital loss carryforwards
$ 2,892,000

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2002, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:

Distributions from ordinary income*
$ 125,132

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

Other. The Fund receives a daily allocation of the Portfolio's net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that Fund or class, while expenses which are attributed to the Trust or all classes within the Fund are allocated based on their respective net assets.

B. Related Parties

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 Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc." or the "Advisor") is the Advisor for the Portfolio and Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICCC" or the "Administrator") is the Administrator for the Fund, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Bank AG.

Administrator Service Fee. For its services as Administrator, ICCC receives a fee (the "Administrator Service Fee") of 0.30% and 0.15% of average daily net assets for Investment Class and Institutional Class shares, respectively, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Administrator Service Fee was as follows:

Unpaid at December 31, 2002

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Administrator contractually agreed to waive its fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized expenses of each Class as follows: Investment Class 0.90% and Institutional Class 0.75% including expenses of the Portfolio.

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Quantitative Equity Fund, one of a series of the BT Investment Funds (the "Trust"), as of December 31, 2002, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quantitative Equity Fund at December 31, 2002, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

The Quantitative Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a series of the BT Investment Portfolios (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified open-end management investment company organized as a New York business trust.

The Portfolio'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 Portfolio 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. Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale price reported on the exchange (US or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which the security is traded most extensively. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation.

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 investments companies and Deutsche Cash Management Fund Institutional 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 Trustees.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Portfolio 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.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or seller and an established futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which the buyer or seller agrees to take or make a delivery of a specific amount of a financial instrument at a specified price on a specific date (settlement date). The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts as a hedge against anticipated interest rate, currency or equity market changes, and for duration management, risk management and return enhancement purposes.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with a financial intermediary an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Portfolio dependent upon the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When entering into a closing transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract to sell and the futures contract to buy. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts, including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Portfolio's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date and that a change in the value of a futures contract may not correlate exactly with the changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged. When utilizing futures contracts to hedge, the Portfolio gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable price movements in the hedged positions during the term of the contract.

Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio is considered a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of foreign withholding taxes. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

The Portfolio makes a daily allocation of its net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from securities and foreign currency transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended December 31, 2002, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $1,334,640 and $777,834, respectively.

C. Related Parties

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 Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc." or "the Advisor") is the Advisor for the Portfolio and Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICCC" or the "Administrator") is the Administrator for the Portfolio, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Bank AG.

Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor directs the investments of the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The advisory fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement is equal to an annual rate of 0.50% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. The Fund waives a portion of its advisory fees equivalent to the advisory fees charged on assets invested in the affiliated money market fund, Deutsche Cash Management Fund Institutional. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Advisor did not impose any of its Advisory fee.

Administrator Service Fee. For its services as Administrator, ICCC receives a fee (the "Administrator Service Fee") of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Administrator did not impose any of its Administrator Service Fee.

Custodian. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas ("DBT Co."), an affiliate of the Advisor and Administrator, is the Fund and Portfolio's custodian. For its services, DBT Co. received $6,328 in fees for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Other. The Portfolio may invest in Deutsche Cash Management Fund Institutional, an open-end management investment company managed by DeAM, Inc.

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

D. Line of Credit

The Portfolio and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $200 million revolving credit facility administered by a syndicate of banks 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, pro rata based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.625 percent. During the period the Portfolio had no borrowings on the line of credit.

E. Subsequent Event

On November 5, 2002 Deutsche Bank AG ("DBAG") agreed to sell its Global Securities Services business to State Street Corp. ("State Street"). This sale included US custody, securities lending, and other processing services located in Europe, Asia, and the Americas and the transaction closed on January 31, 2003 (the "Closing Date"). The actual transition and migration of assets, technology, and infrastructure will take more than a year to complete. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas ("DBT Co.") currently is the custodian to the Fund and the Portfolio (collectively the "Funds"). DBT Co.'s custody business is one of the businesses affected by the transaction with State Street. Since many of DBT Co.'s employees became State Street employees on the Closing Date, the Funds' Board approved on December 16, 2002 an interim outsourcing arrangement that allows State Street to provide custodial services to the Funds, subject to DBT Co. oversight. On or about February 24, 2003 the Board will consider whether to appoint State Street as the Funds' permanent custodian.


Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors


To the Board of Trustees of BT Investment Portfolios and
the Shareholders of Quantitative Equity Portfolio

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio of Quantitative Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a series of the BT Investment Portfolios, as of December 31, 2002, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2002, by correspondence with the Portfolio's custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quantitative Equity Portfolio at December 31, 2002, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
