Notes to Performance Summary


* 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.
** The Fund commenced operations on December 23, 1998. Index returns begin December 31, 1998.
*** Investment Class shares are not subject to sales charges.
a Returns shown for Class A and C shares for the periods prior to their inception on November 29, 2002 for Class A and February 3, 2003 for Class C are derived from the historical performance of the Investment Class shares of the Scudder PreservationPlus Income 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.
b Class A shares' growth of an assumed $10,000 investment is adjusted for the maximum sales charge of 2.75%. This results in a net initial investment of $9,725.
c Returns shown for Class A and C shares for the periods prior to their inception on November 29, 2002 for Class A and February 3, 2003 for Class C are derived from the historical performance of the Investment Class shares of the Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses and the current applicable sales charges of each specific class. Returns for Class A reflect the current maximum initial sales charge of 2.75%. Returns for Class C shares reflect an initial sales charge of 1%. Redemptions on Class C shares within one year of purchase may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1%. Any difference in expenses will affect performance.
+ Lehman 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index, our primary benchmark, is an unmanaged index consisting of all US government agency and Treasury securities, as well as all investment grade corporate debt securities with maturities of one to three years.
++ iMoneyNet-First Tier Retail Money Funds Average is compiled by iMoneyNet, Inc., an independent money market mutual fund rating service, and includes retail money market funds containing securities rated in the highest short-term rating category by two or more nationally recognized ratings organizations.
++ Wrapped Lehman Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index is a custom benchmark representing investment in a portfolio consisting of the Lehman Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index representing domestic taxable investment grade bonds with index components for government, corporate, mortgage pass-through and asset-backed securities with average maturities and durations in the intermediate range, and a book value wrapper agreement with an assumed expense level of 0.20%. This benchmark more closely reflects the market sector in which the Fund invests.
Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

All performance is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased. Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns and rankings may differ by share class.

Performance excludes 2% maximum redemption fee, which may apply in certain limited circumstances. Any redemption fees that have been retained by the Fund are reflected.

The Fund seeks to maintain a constant $10.00 per share net asset value. The Fund is not a money market fund, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share. The Fund holds fixed income securities, money market instruments, futures, options and other instruments and enters into Wrapper Agreements with insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions. These Wrapper Agreements are intended to stabilize the net asset value per share. Please see the prospectus for more information on these Wrapper Agreements.

Investments in funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. These include funds that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability, which can be accentuated in emerging market countries). Please read this fund's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund was the first SEC registered mutual fund specifically designed as an investment alternative for individuals with IRAs previously invested in bond funds, money market funds, savings accounts and CDs, as well as rollovers from retirement programs invested in traditional GIC commingled funds and other stable value products.1 It is worth noting that until this fund was introduced in December 1998, the principal alternative retirement plan rollovers had for their conservative, stable value assets was money market funds. Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income while maintaining a stable value per share. The fund is offered to Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, Education IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension IRAs (SEP IRAs), Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE IRAs), and Keogh plans.

1 Source: Financial Planning, 12/98. Unlike CDs and bank savings accounts, shares of the fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any bank and the shares are not federally insured or guaranteed by the US government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency. In addition, unlike the fund, CDs and bank savings accounts generally offer a fixed rate of return.

The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has inquired as to the valuation methodology for Wrapper Agreements utilized by "stable value" mutual funds including Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund. In the event that the commissioners of the Securities and Exchange Commission determine that the valuation method currently utilized by "stable value" mutual funds is no longer an acceptable practice, and that wrapper contracts should be valued based on their probable cash flows, the fair value of the Wrapper Agreements would be different and may result in an increase or decrease to the net asset value of the Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund (see Note G on page 29 in the fund's Notes to Financial Statements).

In the following interview, New York-based Portfolio Managers John Axtell, Eric Kirsch, Sean McCaffrey, and Robert Wang discuss the fund's strategy and the market environment during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2003.

Q: How did Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund perform during its fiscal year?

A: Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund Investment Class shares produced a total return of 4.13% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2003. The Lehman 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index produced a total return of 3.81% for the same annual period. (See pages 3 through 4 for performance of other share classes.)

The fund maintained a stable share price each day during the period. The fund also produced strong returns relative to other measures of conservative investments, such as the iMoneyNet First Tier Retail Money Markets Fund Average, which showed average returns of just 0.61% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2003.

As of September 30, 2003, Morningstar(R) rated Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund Investment Class the highest Overall Morningstar Rating™ (five stars) among 66 ultrashort bond funds, and five stars for the three-year period among 66 ultrashort bond funds based on risk-adjusted performance.2 The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its applicable 3-, 5- and 10-year Morningstar Rating metrics.

2 Source: Morningstar, Inc. The rating above and the following ratings are for Class INV shares, the fund's oldest share class; Class A share ratings are not yet available. Class INV share ratings do not reflect adjustments for higher operating expenses and sales charges and might have been less favorable if they did. The fund's Class INV shares were rated 5 stars for the 3-year period ending 9/30/03 against 66 US-domiciled funds in the Ultrashort Bond category. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The fund was rated exclusively against US-domiciled funds. Ratings are for the Investment Class only. Other classes may vary.
© 2003 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved. Morningstar, Inc. shall not be responsible for investment decisions, damages or other losses resulting from use of this rating. For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in a category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)

The fund was primarily diversified across the major sectors of the investment grade fixed income market. As of September 30, 2003, the portfolio was allocated 27.9% to corporate bonds, 40.8% to mortgage-backed securities, 15.9% to asset-backed securities, 12.7% to US Treasuries and agencies and 2.7% to cash equivalents and other investments, including futures contracts and Wrapper Agreements. Within its corporate bond allocation, 7.7% was allocated to the US high yield (junk bond) sector. This positioning successfully enabled the fund to benefit from the broad tightening of yield spreads over US Treasuries when high yield spreads were near historically wide levels. The fund continued to obtain its exposure to the high yield sector by investing in Scudder High Income Plus Fund. This means of investment enabled the fund to have exposure to a more well diversified portfolio of high yield securities, and therefore one with less individual issue risk, than the fund could gain by investing directly in high yield securities.

This allocation of fixed income securities was intentionally weighted towards the corporate, asset-backed and mortgage sectors, as these sectors have historically offered higher yields than US government securities. The fund employed its Global Asset Allocation (GAA) overlay strategy, which evaluates bond, cash, and currency opportunities across domestic and international markets. The Wrapper Agreements are intended to stabilize the fund's net asset value (NAV) per share.

Q: Could you provide us with more details about these Wrapper Agreements?

A: Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund was the first SEC registered mutual fund for IRA investors to make use of Wrapper Agreements to seek to maintain principal stability. To date, we have negotiated seven Wrapper Agreements, each of which covers a portion of the fixed income securities and GAA strategy in the portfolio. Generally speaking, Wrapper Agreements are issued by insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions. The Wrapper Agreements held by the portfolio as of September 30, 2003 are issued by Bank of America, NA, Transamerica Life Insurance & Annuity Co., JP Morgan Chase Bank, CDC Financial Products, Inc., Security Life of Denver Insurance Company, Prudential Insurance Company of America and Royal Bank of Canada. It should be noted that there are some risks associated with Wrapper Agreements, which are described in detail in the fund's prospectus.

The fund has maintained a high average quality portfolio. Using Standard & Poor's ratings, the average credit quality

of investments in the fund was AA+ at the end of the annual period, and the average credit quality of the issuers of the Wrapper Agreements was AA on September 30, 2003.3 The fund's average duration at the end of the annual period stood at 3.36 years.

3 Ratings are subject to change and do not remove market risk.

Q: Did the fixed income environment support the fund's positive performance?

A: Overall, the US fixed income markets performed well during the annual period. For the 12 months ended September 30, 2003, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index4 produced a total return of 5.41%. Commercial mortgage-backed securities returned 6.00% on a total return basis. US credits had a total return of 10.47%, as corporate bonds generally performed strongly, reversing their trend from 2002. US credits, formerly known as the corporate sector, account for approximately 27% of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. Within the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, lower-rated credits outperformed higher-rated credits. The Lehman Aaa Index5 returned 3.66% for the 12-month period, while the Lehman Baa Index6 returned 15.41% for the same time frame.

4 The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged market value-weighted measure of treasury issues, agency issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities. Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions and do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.
5 The Lehman Aaa Index is the Aaa component of the Lehman US Credit Index, which is, in turn, a component of the Lehman US Government/Credit Index, and, in turn, of the Lehman US Aggregate Index. The Lehman Aaa Index measures Aaa-rated publicly issued US corporate and specified foreign debentures and secured notes that meet the specified maturity, liquidity, and quality requirements. To qualify, bonds must be SEC-registered. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.
6 The Lehman Baa Index is the Baa component of the Lehman US Credit Index, which is, in turn, a component of the Lehman US Government/Credit Index, and, in turn, of the Lehman US Aggregate Index. The Lehman Baa Index measures Baa-rated publicly issued US corporate and specified foreign debentures and secured notes that meet the specified maturity, liquidity, and quality requirements. To qualify, bonds must be SEC-registered. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Federal Reserve Board action continued to be a major influence on the US fixed income markets. After a year of holding interest rates steady, the Federal Reserve Board cut the targeted federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.25% on November 6, 2002 in an effort to jumpstart an economy that it thought may be decelerating. At the same time, it changed its economic assessment of risks in the economy to "balanced." Then, on June 25, 2003, the Federal Reserve Board cut the targeted federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 1.00% in an effort to further support the economy and stimulate more growth over a longer period of time. This was the 13th time since the start of 2001 that the Federal Reserve Board cut rates, bringing interest rates to their lowest level since 1958. While the Federal Reserve Board's economic risk assessment was again "balanced," it also acknowledged a concern over deflationary pressures. Since then, the Federal Reserve Board has kept interest rates unchanged, stating in mid-September that it believed its accommodative stance of monetary policy "can be maintained for a considerable period."

For the 12 months as a whole, the US Treasury yield curve steepened, with short-term rates following the federal funds rate lower while the longer-term end was modestly higher in yield. Three-month Treasury bill yields fell 61 basis points to 0.94%, and two-year Treasury note yields decreased 23 basis points to 1.46%. Ten-year Treasury yields rose 34 basis points to 3.93%, and the thirty-year Treasury yield increased 21 basis points to 4.88%. Even with the back-up in yields at the longer end of the yield curve, the Lehman US Treasury Index produced a positive total return of 3.26% for the annual period.7 Continued commitment by the Federal Reserve Board to keep the federal funds rate low anchored the short end of the US Treasury yield curve. Several factors caused volatility in the longer US Treasury maturities. These included the ascent of the US equity markets, growing evidence of a pick-up in aggregate demand in the economy, substantial fiscal and monetary stimulus, reduced geopolitical uncertainty after the end of active military operations in Iraq, increased consumer spending, and, perhaps most encouragingly, a rise in business investment - even though all of this was with little, if any, revival in labor market indicators.

7 The Lehman US Treasury Index is the US Treasury component of the Lehman US Government Index, which is, in turn a component of the Lehman US Government/Credit Index, and, in turn, of the Lehman US Aggregate Index. The Lehman US Treasury Index measures the public obligations of the US Treasury with a remaining maturity of one year or more.

Q: How did the corporate, asset-backed and mortgage sectors perform?

A: In contrast to the prior fiscal year, all three sectors outperformed US Treasuries on a total return basis for the annual period. Still, the mortgage-backed sector was volatile, impacted by higher prepayments, as low interest rates kept refinancing high. The asset-backed sector generally performed well, as the manufactured housing sub-sector reversed earlier underperformance. As last fiscal year's headlines about corporate earnings quality, accounting integrity concerns, ratings downgrades, and high profile corporate bankruptcies moved off the front page and the market shifted its focus to geopolitical events and US economic recovery, the US credit sector was the stellar performer over the twelve months ended September 30, 2003. US credit yield spreads over US Treasuries tightened significantly from historically wide levels. For the annual period, these sectors of the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index produced total returns as follows: mortgage-backed securities, 3.50%; asset-backed securities, 4.35%; and US credits, 10.47%.

We maintain our long-term perspective for the fund, monitoring economic conditions and how they affect the financial markets, as we seek to provide a high level of current income while seeking to maintain a stable value per share. Our strategy is to continue to focus on selecting spread sector assets - corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed securities - offering what we believe to be the best relative value at the maximum yield possible, while normally maintaining a 5% cash allocation to provide liquidity. This liquidity facilitates the management of daily investor cash flows. Additionally, we expect the GAA strategy to boost potential returns, should world economic momentum begin to rebuild.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The managers' views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation.

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

PreservationPlus Income Fund ("Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund" or the "Fund") is a diversified series of the Scudder Advisor Funds (formerly BT Investment Funds) (the "Trust"), 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 Massachusetts business trust.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the PreservationPlus Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a diversified, open-end management investment company advised by Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc."). At September 30, 2003, the Fund owned approximately 81% of the PreservationPlus Income 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 multiple classes of shares which provide investors with different purchase options. On November 29, 2002, the Fund commenced offering Class A shares. On February 3, 2003, the Fund commenced offering Class C shares. Class A shares are offered to investors subject to an initial sales charge. Class C shares are offered to investors subject to an initial sales charge and 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. Class C shares do not convert into another 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 service fees, administrative fees 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. The Fund determines the valuation of its investment, including wrapper agreements, 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.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Substantially all of the net investment income is declared as a daily dividend 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 related to securities sold at a loss. 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's financial statements for a breakdown of the appreciation/depreciation from investments.

At September 30, 2003, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*
$ 23,522,017
Undistributed net long-term capital gains
$ 5,225,972
Capital loss carryforwards
$ -
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
$ (29,146,168)

In addition, during the years ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:


Years Ended September 30,


2003

2002

Distributions from ordinary income*
$ 53,881,808 $ 9,598,999
Distributions from long-term capital gains
$ 47,045 $ -

* 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, including wrapper agreements, in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. 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.

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 Corporation ("ICCC" or the "Administrator") is the Administrator for the Fund, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Bank AG.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Advisor and Administrator contractually agreed to waive their fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized expenses of the classes of the Fund as follows: Class A shares at 1.50%, Class C shares at 2.25% and Investment Class at 1.50%, including expenses allocated from the Portfolio. Furthermore, for the year ended September 30, 2003, the Advisor and Administrator voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized expenses of each class as follows: Class A shares 1.25%, Class C shares 2.00% and Investment Class 1.00%, including expenses allocated from the Portfolio. Under these agreements, the Advisor reimbursed additional expenses of $817,151.

Administrator Service Fee. ICCC serves as Administrator and receives a fee (the "Administrator Service Fee") of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Administrator Service Fee was as follows:

Distribution Agreement. Under the Distribution Agreement, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("SDI"), an affiliate of the Advisor and Administrator, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.25% and 0.75% of average daily net assets of Class A and C shares, respectively. Pursuant to this agreement, SDI enters into related selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of Class A and C shares. For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Distribution Fee was as follows:

Distribution Fee

Shareholder Service Agreement. ICCC provides information and administrative services to the Fund and receives a fee ("Shareholder Servicing Fee") at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets for Class C and Investment Class shares. ICCC in turn has various agreements with financial services firms that provide these services and pays these fees based upon the assets of shareholder accounts the firms service. For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Shareholder Servicing Fee was as follows:

Effective December 16, 2002, Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor and Administrator, is the Fund's transfer agent. Prior to December 16, 2002, ICCC served as the Fund's transfer agent. SISC provides the same services that ICCC provided to the Fund and is entitled to receive the same rate of compensation. 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. The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by SISC, not by the Fund.

Underwriting Agreement and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. SDI is the principal underwriter for Class A and C shares. Underwriting commissions paid in connection with the distribution of Class A and C shares for the periods ended September 30, 2003 aggregated $254,312 and $1,761, respectively.

In addition, SDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from 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 1% of the value of the shares redeemed for Class C. For the period from February 3, 2003 to September 30, 2003, the CDSC for Class C shares aggregated $55,830. A deferred sales charge of up to 1% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares. For the period from November 29, 2002 to September 30, 2003, SDI received $272.

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.

C. Ownership of the Fund

From time to time the Fund may have a concentration of several shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund.

As of September 30, 2003, there were two shareholders who individually held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the PreservationPlus Income Fund. These shareholders held 29% and 27%, respectively, of the total shares outstanding of the Fund.

E. Other

Under normal circumstances, redemptions of shares that are qualified are not subject to a redemption fee. Redemptions of shares or redemptions from 401(k) plans or IRAs that are not qualified are subject to a 2% redemption fee if the "interest rate trigger" is active.

F. Additional Distributions

In order to comply with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, the Fund is required to distribute accumulated net realized gains, if any, on an annual basis. When such distributions are made, the immediate impact is a corresponding reduction in the net asset value per share of each Class. Given the objective of the Fund to maintain a stable net asset value of $10 per share, the Fund intends to declare a reverse stock split immediately subsequent to any such distributions at a rate that will cause the total number of shares held by each shareholder, including shares acquired on reinvestment of that distribution, to remain the same as before the distribution was paid and in effect reinstate a net asset value of $10 per share.

On December 19, 2002, the Fund declared a capital gain distribution of $0.04 per share and a corresponding reverse stock split of .996 per share. There was no effect on the value of the total holdings of each shareholder (assuming reinvestment of such distributions) as a result of this activity.

G. Wrapper Agreement Valuation

The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has inquired as to the valuation methodology for Wrapper Agreements utilized by "stable value" mutual funds including this Fund. In the event that the commissioners of the Securities Exchange Commission determine that the valuation method currently utilized by "stable value" mutual funds is no longer an acceptable practice, and wrapper contracts should be valued based on their probable cash flows, the fair value of the Portfolio's Wrapper Agreements would be different and the Fund would not be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share. To the extent that the Wrapper Agreements are valued as a payable/receivable under the current method, the change would result in a net asset value per share of greater/less than $10 per share. At September 30, 2003, the Portfolio's Wrapper Agreements had a fair value of $85,925,819, which the Portfolio reflected as a payable to the wrapper providers, of which approximately $69,405,721 is allocable to the Fund based on its ownership interest in the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

PreservationPlus Income Portfolio ("PreservationPlus Income Portfolio" or the "Portfolio") is a diversified series of Scudder Investment Portfolios (formerly BT Investment Portfolios) (the "Trust"), 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 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. Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Trustees of the Portfolio. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, 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 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.

Wrapper Agreements generally will be equal to the difference between the Book Value of the Wrapper Agreements and Market Value (plus accrued interest on the underlying securities) of the covered assets and will either be reflected as an asset or a liability of the Portfolio. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees, in performing its fair value determination of the Portfolio's Wrapper Agreements, considers the creditworthiness and the ability of Wrapper Providers to pay amounts due under the Wrapper Agreements.

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.

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 Portfolio 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.

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 Portfolio gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities. The Portfolio may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time the Portfolio enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the Portfolio until payment takes place. At the time the Portfolio enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The Portfolio may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Portfolio sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities on a fixed date. The Portfolio receives compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. The compensation is paid in the form of a lower price for the security upon its repurchase or, alternatively, a fee. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price and a cash settlement made at each renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into mortgage dollar rolls from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments. Additionally, the value of such securities may change adversely before the Portfolio is able to repurchase them.

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

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. The credit rate income is accrued daily and represents the difference between actual interest earned on covered assets under the Portfolio's Wrapper Agreements and the product of the Book Value of the Wrapper Agreements multiplied by the credit rate as determined pursuant to the Wrapper Agreements.

The Portfolio makes a daily allocation of its net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses (including Wrapper Agreements) 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 September 30, 2003, purchase and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term instruments, US Treasury obligations and mortgage dollar roll transactions) aggregated $3,500,936,296 and $2,272,956,467, respectively. Purchases and sales of US Treasury obligations aggregated $1,345,246,081 and $1,215,119,819, respectively. Purchases and sales of mortgage dollar roll transactions aggregated $612,307,569 and $614,243,534, 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 Corporation ("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 0.70% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. These fees are not charged on assets invested in affiliated Money Market funds. These fees are reduced to 0.10% on assets invested in Scudder High Income Plus Fund.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Advisor and Administrator maintained the annualized expenses of the Portfolio at not more than 0.80% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The amount of the waiver and whether the Advisor and Administrator waive their fees may vary at any time without notice to the shareholders.

Accordingly, for the year ended September 30, 2003, the Advisor did not impose a portion of its advisory fee pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement aggregating $1,492,773 and the amount imposed aggregated $9,846,530, which was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.54% of the Portfolio's average net assets.

Administrator Service Fee. ICCC serves as Administrator and 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 September 30, 2003, the Administrator Service Fee was $907,875, of which $22,601 is unpaid at September 30, 2003.

Effective June 6, 2003, State Street Bank and Trust Company is the Portfolio's custodian. Prior to June 6, 2003, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly Bankers Trust Company), an affiliate of the Advisor, served as the Portfolio's custodian.

Other. The Portfolio may invest in Cash Management Fund Institutional, an open-end management investment company managed by DeAM, Inc. Distributions from Cash Management Fund Institutional to the Portfolio for the year ended September 30, 2003 totaled $3,493,385.

To gain exposure to high yield debt securities, the Portfolio may purchase high yield debt securities directly or invest in the Scudder High Income Plus Fund, an affiliated mutual fund. The Portfolio will reduce its advisory fee to 0.10% of its average daily net assets with respect to its assets invested in the Scudder High Income Plus Fund. Distributions from Scudder High Income Plus Fund to the Portfolio for the year ended September 30, 2003 totaled $14,082,262.

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

E. Line of Credit

Prior to April 11, 2003, the Portfolio and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") shared 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 were charged an annual commitment fee which was allocated, pro rata based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest was calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.625 percent.

Effective April 11, 2003, the Portfolio entered into a new revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank that provides $1.25 billion of credit coverage. The new revolving credit facility covers the funds and portfolios advised or administered by DeAM, Inc. or its affiliates. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

F. Wrapper Agreements

The Portfolio enters into Wrapper Agreements with insurance companies, banks or other financial institutions that are designed to protect the Portfolio from investment losses and, under most circumstances, permit the Fund to maintain a constant NAV per share. Since there is no market for Wrapper Agreements they are considered illiquid.

A Wrapper Agreement obligates the wrapper provider to maintain the "Book Value" of the securities covered by the Wrapper Agreement (the "covered assets") up to specified amounts, under certain circumstances. Book Value of the covered assets is generally deposits, plus interest accrued at a crediting rate established under the Wrapper Agreement, less any adjustments for withdrawals or for defaulted or impaired securities (as specified in the Wrapper Agreement). In general, if the Book Value of the Wrapper Agreement exceeds the market value of the covered assets (including accrued interest), the wrapper provider becomes obligated to pay the difference to the Portfolio in the event of shareholder redemptions. On the other hand, if the Book Value of the Wrapper Agreement is less than the market value of the covered assets (including accrued interest), the Portfolio becomes obligated to pay the difference to the wrapper provider in the event of shareholder redemptions. The circumstances under which payments are made and the timing of payments between the Portfolio and the wrapper providers may vary based on the terms of the Wrapper Agreements. At September 30, 2003, approximately 67% (based on Book Value) of the Portfolio's Wrapper Agreements generally require that payments to or from the wrapper provider do not arise until withdrawals exceed a specified percentage (ranging from 35% to 50%) of the covered assets and approximately 33% of the Portfolio's Wrapper Agreements generally require that payments to or from the wrapper provider do not arise until all of the covered assets have been liquidated, after which time payment covering the difference between Book Value and covered market value will occur. There were no such payments to or from the wrapper providers during the year ended September 30, 2003.

A default by the issuer of a portfolio security or a Wrapper Provider on its obligations might result in a decrease in the value of the Portfolio assets. The Wrapper Agreements generally do not protect the Portfolio from loss if an issuer of Portfolio securities defaults on payments of interest or principal.

G. Wrapper Agreement Valuation

The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has inquired as to the valuation methodology for Wrapper Agreements utilized by "stable value" mutual funds including this Portfolio. In the event that the commissioners of the Securities and Exchange Commission determine that the valuation method currently utilized by "stable value" mutual funds is no longer an acceptable practice, and wrapper contracts should be valued based on their probable cash flows, the fair value of the Wrapper Agreements would be different. To the extent that the Wrapper Agreements are valued as a payable/receivable under the current method, the change would result in an increase/decrease in net assets. At September 30, 2003, the Wrapper Agreements had a fair value of $85,925,819, which the Portfolio reflected as a payable to the wrapper providers.


Report of Ernst and Young LLP, Independent Auditors


To the Board of Trustees of Scudder Investment Portfolios and the Shareholders of the PreservationPlus Income Portfolio

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of PreservationPlus Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") as of September 30, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period December 23, 1998 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 1999. 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 September 30, 2003, by correspondence with the Portfolio's custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 PreservationPlus Income Portfolio at September 30, 2003, 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 its financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period December 23, 1998 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

ITEM 2.         CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period, September 30, 2003, the Scudder Preservation Plus
Income Fund has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR,
that applies to its President and Treasurer and its Chief Financial Officer. A
copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.

ITEM 3.         AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees has determined that the Fund has at least
one "audit committee financial expert" serving on its audit committee: Mr. S.
Leland Dill. This audit committee member is "independent," meaning that he is
not an "interested person" of the Fund (as that term is defined in Section
2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940) and he does not accept any
consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Fund (except in the
capacity as a Board or committee member).

An "audit committee financial expert" is not an "expert" for any purpose,
including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result
of being designated as an "audit committee financial expert." Further, the
designation of a person as an "audit committee financial expert" does not mean
that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those
imposed on the person without the "audit committee financial expert"
designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an "audit committee
financial expert" does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any
other member of the audit committee or board of directors.
