Portfolio Management Review


In the following interview, Portfolio Managers Janet Campagna and Robert Wang discuss the funds' strategies and the market environment during the six-month period ended September 30, 2003.

Q: How did the funds perform during the semiannual period?

A: All three Scudder Lifecycle Funds delivered positive performance for the six-month period ended September 30, 2003. Scudder Lifecycle Short Range Fund, Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund and Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund outperformed their Asset Allocation blended benchmarks. However, all three funds fell short of their Lipper category averages. (Please see pages 3 through 12 for additional information on the performance of each fund.) Scudder Lifecycle Short Range Fund increased 5.30% (Investment Class) compared with the Lipper Income Funds category average return of 10.14% for the period. Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund rose 8.79% (Investment Class), and Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund was up 11.92% (Investment Class) versus the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds category average return of 13.86% for the six months ended September 30.1

1 The Lipper Income Funds category includes funds that normally seek a high level of current income by investing in income-producing stocks, bonds, and money market instruments.
The Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds category includes funds that allocate investments across various asset classes, including domestic common stocks, bonds, and money market instruments with a focus on total return.
It is not possible to invest directly in a Lipper category.

We believe the primary reason for the funds' under- performance relative to their Lipper categories was their conservative posture at a time when global stock markets rallied and more-aggressive asset classes such as small-cap growth stocks, high-yield bonds and emerging-markets debt performed exceptionally well. In addition, cash (money market securities) made up a significant portion of each portfolio. This was a negative for performance at a time when interest rates were low and cash underperformed most other asset classes.

We don't believe in "chasing" certain asset classes based on a short-term upward spike in performance, nor do we intend to deviate from our strategy of allocating the assets of each portfolio based on the needs of the funds' investors (as opposed to investing in whichever asset class happens to be hot for the moment). Rather, we continue to believe a strategy that focuses on diversification and seeks to identify relative value among asset classes will deliver favorable risk-adjusted performance over time.

Q: How are the funds managed?

A: The funds' allocation among different asset classes is based on our investment model, which receives various inputs from the financial markets to make determinations, such as which asset class might offer a better relative value at a particular time. Based on these determinations, we can construct a portfolio that we believe is well-suited to the environment that is likely to develop in the months and years ahead. Each fund then takes an overweight, underweight or equal position in each asset class.2 The investment allocation for each fund is as follows:

2 "Overweight" means the fund holds a larger position in a company, country or industry than the benchmark. "Underweight" means the fund holds a smaller position than the benchmark.

Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund: 55% equities, 35% bonds, 10% cash

Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund: 35% equities, 45% bonds, 20% cash

Scudder Lifecycle Short Range Fund: 15% equities, 55% bonds, 30% cash

Please see the Performance Summary disclosure for a detailed definition of each benchmark.

The funds' asset weightings,* which include the market value of futures contracts, were as follows as of the end of the semiannual period:

Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund's asset weightings were 56.20% in US equities, 3.37% in international equities, 35.44% in bonds and 4.99% in cash and other short-term instruments as of September 30, 2003.

Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund's asset weightings were 36.28% in US equities, 3.44% in international equities, 54.64% in bonds and 5.64% in cash and other short-term instruments as of September 30, 2003.

Scudder Lifecycle Short Range Fund's asset weightings were 16.04% in US equities, 2.74% international equities, 62.30% in bonds and 18.92% in cash and other short-term instruments as of September 30, 2003.

* Note: asset weightings are subject to change.

Q: How did the global stock markets perform over the past six months, and how are the funds positioned in this area?

A: Stocks performed very well during the reporting period. Coming into March 2003, the environment was unusually negative for the stock market due to a combination of sluggish economic growth, anemic corporate earnings results and fears associated with the looming war in Iraq. However, these concerns quickly faded once it became apparent that the main campaign in Iraq would be executed quickly. After reaching a low in mid-March, virtually all major markets soared during the spring and summer and finished the period solidly in positive territory. The rally extended across all regions, as the United States, Japan, Europe and the emerging markets all posted strong gains. Countries viewed as being best able to benefit from a recovery in the global economy - Japan, Germany and many emerging markets nations - generally provided the best performance during the rally. While there was some variation across markets, the stocks of smaller and higher-risk companies generally outperformed their large-cap and higher-quality counterparts. On a sector basis, the more aggressive industries, such as technology, provided the best performance.

Throughout the reporting period, the equity weighting in all three funds was raised to overweight versus the benchmark.3 This proved helpful to performance, given the strong return of stocks. In particular, we increased the weight of international equities, which our model began to favor due to relative valuations. The model began to favor Europe versus the United States because the United States had outperformed recently, and the model signaled a closing of that gap. This shift also provided exposure to Japan, which saw its equities market soar during the spring and summer.

3 Asset weightings include market value of futures contracts as of the end of the semiannual period. Please see Futures Contracts table in the investment portfolio section for each fund.

Q: How did bonds perform?

A: The past six months proved to be a time of unusual volatility in the bond market, particularly among Treasuries. The period began on a positive note as the economy remained slow and the Federal Reserve made comments to the effect that interest rates likely would remain low for quite some time, and that it would take nontraditional measures to keep long-term rates down (which the market interpreted as an intention to buy long-term bonds in the market). These factors helped drive yields to record lows (as prices rose). On June 13, 2003, the 10-year Treasury note closed with a yield of just 3.10%.

However, the environment quickly turned negative in July. The economy began to show signs of an improvement and the Fed made it clear that it would not, in fact, take active steps to support the bond market. Prices plummeted as a result. By the end of July, one of the worst months for the bond market in history, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note had soared to 4.47%. The market subsequently stabilized as the Fed became more circumspect in its comments and investors began to focus on the weak employment picture (which is a positive for bond prices). The 10-year closed with a yield of 3.94% on September 30, only slightly higher than on March 31, despite the significant volatility in the intervening period.

Overseas, international bonds were supported by slow global growth and the rising value of foreign currencies versus the US dollar. Bonds in Japan lagged, however, as investors began to anticipate a recovery in the country's economy.

Q: How were the funds positioned within fixed income?

A: The funds were overweight in fixed income for the entire period.4 This helped performance on an absolute basis and versus the benchmark, since the bond market provided positive performance for the six-month interval. However, because bonds trailed stocks by such a wide margin, the funds' substantial weighting in this asset class was a negative for performance versus the Lipper peer groups (where the funds in the Lipper categories tended to have a larger weighting in equities).

4 Asset weightings include market value of futures contracts as of the end of the semiannual period. Please see Futures Contracts table in the investment portfolio section for each fund.

The funds' weighting in international bonds was raised substantially in both the Scudder Lifecycle Short Range Fund and Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund portfolios, as the model indicated that bonds in Japan had become cheap relative to those in the United States.5

5 Asset weightings include market value of futures contracts as of the end of the semiannual period. Please see Futures Contracts table in the investment portfolio section for each fund.

Q: The funds had moved to an overweight position in foreign currencies six months ago. Did this help performance?

A: Yes. International currencies such as the euro and the yen performed well versus the US dollar. Concerns that the US dollar was overvalued in light of the country's huge trade and budget deficits were fueled in late September when Treasury Secretary John Snow made comments interpreted to mean that the world would be moving to a more flexible exchange rate regime. Taking this as a signal that the United States was adopting a weak dollar policy, currency traders sold dollars heavily late in the period. The dollar closed the period at 1.16 versus the euro, compared with 1.09 at the start of the reporting period.

During the period, all three funds were overweight in foreign currencies - specifically, the Japanese yen, the euro, the pound sterling, and the Canadian and Australian dollars. In contrast, the benchmarks hold a 100% weighting in the US dollar. Our flexibility to change the fund's positioning in this area was helpful given the weakness in the US dollar.

Q: Any final thoughts for investors?

A: We encourage shareholders to look past the day-to-day volatility in the financial markets when making important investment decisions. Instead, you should be looking at your investments from the perspective of your longer-term goals, your risk tolerance, your age and your personal financial situation. Naturally, this can be extremely difficult when the markets are volatile. That's why we believe you've taken a sound step by investing in a Scudder Lifecycle Fund that commits you to a disciplined investment strategy which helps you achieve your investment goals.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Lifecycle Long Range Fund ("Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund") is a diversified series of Scudder Advisor Funds III, formerly BT Pyramid Mutual Funds. Lifecycle Mid Range Fund ("Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund") and Lifecycle Short Range Fund ("Scudder Lifecycle Short Range Fund,") are diversified series of Scudder Advisor Funds, formerly BT Investment Funds. Scudder Advisor Funds III and Scudder Advisor Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as open-end management investment companies organized as Massachusetts business trusts (collectively, the "Trusts").

The Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund, Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund and Scudder Lifecycle Short Range Fund (each a "Fund," collectively, the "Funds") seek to achieve their investment objective by investing substantially all of their assets in the Asset Management Portfolio, Asset Management Portfolio II and Asset Management Portfolio III, respectively (each a "Portfolio" and collectively the "Portfolios"), each a diversified, open-end management investment company advised by Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc.").

On September 30, 2003, each Fund owned approximately the following percentage of the corresponding Portfolio:

Fund

Percentage

Long Range Fund
100%
Asset Management Portfolio
Mid Range Fund

Asset Management Portfolio II
Short Range Fund
100%
Asset Management Portfolio III

The financial statements of each Portfolio, including each Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund's financial statements.

The Lifecycle Long Range Fund offers two classes of shares: Premier Class and Investment Class. On July 25, 2003, the Scudder Asset Management Fund acquired all of the assets and scheduled liabilities of the Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund in exchange for shares of a new class of Scudder Asset Management Fund. The existing shares of the Scudder Asset Management Fund were renamed the Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund. The Lifecycle Mid Range Fund and Lifecycle Short Range Fund offer one class of shares: Investment Class. Premier Class and Investment Class shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges. Premier shares are offered to a limited group of investors and have lower ongoing expenses than the Investment Class.

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 administrative service fee. 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.

Each 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 Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation. Each Fund determines the valuation of its investment in each Portfolio by multiplying its proportionate ownership of the Portfolio by the total value of the Portfolio's net assets.

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

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 income to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At March 31, 2003, each Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until the respective expiration date, whichever occurs first.

The capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

Fund

Expiration Date

Long Range Fund+
$ 12,112,000

27,763,000

+ Information shown for Premier Class only. Prior to July 25, 2003 the Investment Class was not part of this Fund.

Utilization of the capital loss carryforwards above could be subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.

In addition, from November 1, 2002 through March 31, 2003, each Fund incurred net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, each Fund intends to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

The capital losses were as follows:

Fund

Capital Losses

Long Range Fund+
$ 21,516,000
Mid Range Fund
$ 1,902,000
Short Range Fund
$ 416,000

+ Information shown for Premier Class only. Prior to July 25, 2003 the Investment Class was not part of this Fund.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are made quarterly. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to each Fund if not distributed, and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences primarily relate to certain 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, each Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of each Fund.

The net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of each Fund's investment in the Portfolio consists of an allocated portion of the Portfolio's appreciation/depreciation. Please refer to each Portfolio for a breakdown of the appreciation/depreciation from investments.

At March 31, 2003, each Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Long Range Fund+

Mid Range Fund

Short Range Fund

Undistributed ordinary income*
$ 3,704,697 $ 350,322 $ 96,080

In addition, during the years ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by each Fund is summarized as follows:

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.
+ Information shown for Premier Class only. Prior to July 25, 2003 the Investment Class was not part of this Fund.

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

Other. Each Fund receives a daily allocation of its respective Portfolio's income, expenses 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, while expenses which are attributable to a Trust are allocated among the Funds in the Trust on the basis of relative 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. (the "Advisor") is the Advisor for each Portfolio and Investment Company Capital Corporation ("ICCC" or the "Administrator") is the Administrator for each Fund and each Portfolio, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Bank AG.

For the six months ended September 30, 2003, the Advisor and Administrator agreed to waive their fees and reimburse expenses of each Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized expenses of each Fund, including expenses allocated from each Portfolio as follows:

Lifecycle Long Range
Investment Class

Under these agreements, the Advisor and Administrator waived and absorbed $521,322, $119,227 and $67,376 of Lifecycle Long Range, Lifecycle Mid Range and Lifecycle Short Range Fund's expenses, respectively.

Administrator Service Fee. ICCC serves as Administrator and receives a fee (the "Administrator Service Fee") of 0.65% of each Fund's Investment Class and 0.15% of Lifecycle Long Range Fund's Premier Class average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the six months ended September 30, 2003, the Administrator Service Fee was as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder Asset Management Portfolio and Scudder Investment Portfolios are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as diversified, open-end management investment companies organized as New York business trusts (the "Trusts"). Asset Management Portfolio II and Asset Management Portfolio III are each a series of Scudder Investment Portfolios, formerly BT Investment Portfolios.

The financial statements of each of Asset Management Portfolio, Asset Management Portfolio II and Asset Management Portfolio III (each a "Portfolio," and collectively the "Portfolios") 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 each 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.

Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Trustees of each Portfolio. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from one or more broker-dealers. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes.

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies and 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 each 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). Each 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, each 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 each 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 each Portfolio. When entering into a closing transaction, each 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 each 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, each 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. Each 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, each Portfolio gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls. Each Portfolio may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which a 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. 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.

When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities. Each 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.

Federal Income Taxes. Each 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 each Portfolio is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.

Each Portfolio makes a daily allocation of its income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses from securities, futures and foreign currency transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in each Portfolio.

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

Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor directs the investments of each Portfolio in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions.

For the period ended September 30, 2003, the Advisor and Administrator agreed to waive its fees and reimburse expenses of each Portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized expenses of Asset Management Portfolio at 0.55% and the annualized expenses of each of the Asset Management Portfolio II and Asset Management Portfolio III at 0.60%. The Advisor and Administrator may terminate this voluntary waiver and reimbursement at any time, with respect to any Portfolio, without notice to the shareholder.

E. Line of Credit

Prior to April 11, 2003, each 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, each Portfolio entered into a new revolving credit facility administered by JP Morgan Chase Bank that provides $1.25 billion of credit coverage.
