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

Investments in mutual funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. Although asset allocation among different asset classes generally limits risk and exposure to any one class, the risk remains that the investment advisor may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to the other asset classes. Additionally, derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities, and the fund could suffer losses on its derivatives positions. Please read each fund's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

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

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

In the following interview, Portfolio Managers Janet Campagna and Robert Wang address the economy, the investment management strategy and the resulting performance of Scudder Lifecycle Funds for the one-year period April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2004.

Q: Will you review the key global political and economic developments during the period?

A: People will remember this annual period as the one that officially marked the end of the bear market. A global economic recovery, led by the United States and Asia, fueled strong global equity market performance. The global bond markets also performed well, supported by the consistently dovish stance of the US Federal Reserve Board and the central bank policies of Europe and Japan.

As we entered the period, we began to see the results of strong fiscal and monetary stimulus. Although this stimulus had contributed to US dollar weakness, it finally began working to broaden and deepen the economic recovery around the globe. Leading economic indicators began to show significant signs of improvement during the second quarter of 2003. However, Europe lagged behind the United States and Japan, with weak domestic demand. Further, euro strength diluted the benefits of increased demand for European exports.

During the second half of 2003, several unanticipated events and countervailing forces clouded what was expected to be a sunny picture for the equity markets. As we entered the period, we saw signs of continued economic improvement. In the United States, initial estimates of gross domestic product (the total value of all goods and services produced) for the third quarter were revised upward significantly, and jobless claims (a measure of unemployment) began to moderate. Nevertheless, not all data points were wholly positive; consumer confidence levels were somewhat lower than expected. Finally, fourth-quarter reports of illegal trading among some prominent mutual fund complexes, and the resulting legal actions, gave rise to widespread investor skittishness. Mounting concern that robust economic growth would bring about inflation gave way to increased volatility in the US fixed-income markets.

In the first quarter of 2004, the market continued to struggle with economic and geopolitical issues that together dampened early investor enthusiasm. In the United States, the February release of disappointing labor statistics called into question the viability of the domestic economic recovery. The insurrection in Haiti, the terrorist bombing in Madrid, escalation of fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, and the grinding conflict in Iraq heightened anxiety worldwide.

However, earnings growth for large- and small-cap US stocks continued to surprise on the upside throughout January and February, providing a mooring for investors. In March, better-than-anticipated US employment data helped to renew investor confidence, driving US equities to a strong finish through the period's end.

In Japan, ongoing corporate restructuring efforts finally renewed people's confidence and signs of a sustained domestic economic recovery emerged. After a decade of undervaluation by investors, Japanese equity prices rose.

Q: How did equity markets around the world respond?

A: Most global equity markets advanced powerfully during the period as leading indicators of economic activity ultimately showed improvement. With interest rates near historic lows, equity valuations on the whole were attractive relative to bonds, and especially in relation to cash holdings. Our ability to invest in offshore markets through the use of foreign equity index and bond futures enabled Scudder Lifecycle Funds to benefit from these trends.

Driven by economic strength and improved corporate earnings, the Japanese equity market rose 69.83% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2004, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Japan Index.1 It was the top-performing global equity market. European equities, fueled by export growth, also logged strong gains albeit tempered by the strong euro; the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index was up 53.96% for the same period.2 Despite healthy corporate profits, US stocks continued to be comparatively expensive (in US dollar terms) versus foreign stocks. As a result, US equities generally underperformed their foreign counterparts during the period. The US equity market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 35.12% for the period.3

Q: How did the global bond and currency markets perform?

A: A supportive central bank policy propped up global bond markets, which were further supported by an absence of inflationary pressure during most of the period. While providing positive returns, the global bond markets nevertheless underperformed global equity markets.

We continued to be concerned about bond prices, which appeared to be high both on a relative basis and on a historical basis. We believe that at some point, the US Federal Reserve and the Asian central banks will have to account for economic improvements. The European Central Bank, on the other hand, may be forced to lower rates to prop up the continent's relatively sluggish growth.

On a comparison basis within the asset class, longer-duration bonds performed quite well during the period. Despite some fluctuation caused by investor concerns late in the period regarding inflation and continued economic growth, US Treasury bonds ultimately were the top-performing fixed-income vehicle, favored by risk-averse foreign investors worried about continued geopolitical instability.

Q: How did the global currency markets affect fund management and performance?

A: The currency markets, which we access through the use of currency forward agreements, were one of the biggest contributors to the funds' performance. The dollar remained uniformly weak until the end of the period, which provided a major advantage to the funds. The reversal in February 2004 was due primarily to the strength of global economic growth, talk of interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank and a change in the Japanese policy of foreign exchange intervention to consistently weaken the yen. While the dollar stabilized, the yen weakened sharply, and the euro pulled back from its previous highs.

Because a depreciating dollar makes US financial assets less attractive, maintaining a stable or slightly weakening currency will be important to continue broadening global economic growth. Higher euro and yen valuations make export growth more difficult for European and Japanese exporters and put more pressure on authorities to stimulate local demand. In this vein, the Japanese economy seems to be slightly ahead of Europe.

Q: How did the funds perform during the period?

A: During the period, the funds benefited primarily from their diversification of asset class and regional exposure. For the one-year period April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2004:

Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund grew 23.06% (Investment Class)

Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund rose 16.85%

Scudder Short Range Fund advanced 10.44%

(The Lifecycle Long Range Fund has an additional share class. See pages 3 through 9 for performance of the other share class and more complete performance information for all three funds.)

We are very pleased with the absolute performance of the funds and with the level of added risk we undertook to achieve these strong gains. Each of the three funds outperformed its respective asset allocation benchmark as well as the 5.53% return of the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index, but they trailed both the 35.12% total return of the S&P 500 and their respective peer category averages, as tracked by Lipper Inc.

In evaluating each fund's performance relative to its peers, it is important to understand that Scudder Lifecycle Funds are compared with funds that, in some cases, are able to hold a greater share of equity assets. As a result, in extremely strong equity markets, such as we experienced during the annual period, it is difficult for Scudder Lifecycle Funds to compete successfully.

It is also important to take into account Scudder Lifecycle Funds' unique Global Asset Allocation (GAA) overlay - a formula designed to help add portfolio diversification and reduce volatility. In comparison with their peers, Scudder Lifecycle Funds tend to provide a lower-risk profile and more-stable total returns over time. On this basis, we are extremely pleased with the funds' performance.

Q: Will you review the GAA overlay and other asset allocation techniques upon which you rely?

A: When we execute asset allocation, we don't simply look at stocks and bonds. We also evaluate other factors that can help us implement various strategies to add value.

The GAA overlay is a "long-short" strategy, or a means of attempting to capture gains when stocks advance or decline. In addition, it utilizes stock and bond futures and currency forwards to enable the funds' management team to achieve tactical positioning without having to make dramatic shifts in the stock, bond and cash allocations of the funds, which normally remain relatively static. We don't buy or sell stocks and bonds on a frequent basis. The overlay instead enables us to gain a degree of exposure to a particular asset class in an attempt to derive the greatest value from any one source.

For example, currency exposure can be an important source of added return. We know that 100% of the funds' benchmark, the S&P 500, is dollar-return oriented. When we utilize currency forwards, we are, in essence, determining what portion of that dollar return to expose to another currency. During any given period, we may decide to expose only 90% of the funds' return to the dollar and "trade in" 10% of those assets for another currency that may react to different economic stimuli. The funds' board of trustees has imposed strict constraints on the use of this strategy to maintain a clear and manageable level of risk. The GAA strategy added significantly to total returns during the period ended March 31, 2004.

We also incorporate into our equity assets an enhanced stock index fund (ESIF Strategy). The ESIF Strategy seeks to keep pace with a given benchmark index by investing in a similar portfolio of stocks. The ESIF Strategy aims to achieve total returns of one-quarter to one-half of 1% above the index - in this case the S&P 500 - on an annual basis. The ESIF Strategy detracted from performance slightly during the period due to stock selection weakness.

Likewise, the portfolio incorporates a core fixed-income strategy to select bonds based on a number of characteristics in an effort to outperform the benchmark Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index. On a historical basis, this has been one of the most effective ways in which the managers have been able to add value. This strategy added significantly to the funds' returns for the period.

Q: How was each of the funds diversified as of March 31, 2004?

A: The dominant factors affecting performance throughout the annual period were asset class allocation and risk management rather than country or regional weightings. Our model's assessment of a wide variety of factors supported each fund's asset allocation.

Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund was overweight in equities, or stocks, meaning it had a proportionately greater allocation than the benchmark.4 In fixed-income investments, or bonds, it had a neutral, or roughly equal, allocation to the benchmark. And had an underweight, or proportionately smaller allocation than the benchmark, in cash-equivalent securities.5

4 For purposes of this discussion, asset weightings include the market value of futures contracts at the end of the annual period. Please see the Futures Contracts table in the Investment Portfolio section for each fund.
5 The fund's cash-equivalent benchmark assumes full investment in the US dollar, so when we say the fund's cash-equivalent weighting was underweight, we are saying its US dollar weighting is underweight, while its foreign currency weighting is overweight.

Throughout the 12-month period, we increased our weighting in equities, which enabled us to more fully benefit from strong global equity performance. We lowered bond exposure during the first quarter to achieve parity with the benchmark. Within the fixed-income asset class, we shifted from an underweight position in US bonds and an overweight position in international fixed-income investments to a neutral weighting in both. Dollar weakness led to the positive performance of US long bonds, which were a strong contributor to fund performance, despite some intermittent volatility.

Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund was overweight the benchmark in equities, or stocks. The fund was also overweight in fixed-income investments, or bonds, while it was significantly underweight in cash-equivalent securities.

Like Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund, Scudder Lifecycle Mid Range Fund benefited primarily from an overweight position in equities and exposure to foreign currencies - notably the Japanese yen and the British pound - which outperformed the US dollar.

Scudder Lifecycle Short Range Fund also had a significant overweight in equities, or stocks. And the fund was overweight in fixed income, or bonds. Similar to the other two funds, it was underweight in cash-equivalent securities.

Similar themes likewise contributed to Scudder Lifecycle Short Range Fund's positive performance, including US equity exposure, US dollar weakness and positive fixed-income performance.

Asset values include the value of futures contracts as of the end of the annual period.

Q: Do you have any closing comments for shareholders?

A: We believe the investment environment today continues to be supportive of the equity markets. We have seen good profitability, positive cash flow dynamics and strong earnings growth in the United States and Japan. Corporate restructuring efforts are beginning to take hold in Europe.

As always, we continue to monitor the global economic landscape. While worldwide growth has been robust, there is evidence that momentum is moderating. Each of the major markets - the United States, Europe and Japan - is at a critical juncture. In the United States, we continue to be concerned about employment data, which we believe are critical to US equity market progress. In Asia, we are focused on the monetary policies of the central banks, which could opt to reduce their reliance on foreign currency intervention and allow their currencies to begin to strengthen. Monetary policy, particularly as it affects interest rates, is of concern in Europe as well, where a slightly weaker-than-expected economic recovery could endanger already sluggish earnings growth.

Finally, we thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support. We look forward to serving you and to working together to achieve your investment goals in the years ahead.

Notes to Financial Statements


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").

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 March 31, 2004, each Fund owned approximately the following percentage of the corresponding Portfolio:

Fund

Short Range Fund

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.

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 Investment Class. The existing shares of the Scudder Asset Management Fund were renamed the Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund Premier 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. Lifecycle Mid Range Fund and Lifecycle Short Range Fund offer one class of shares: 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, 2004, 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

Amount

Expiration Date

Long Range Fund
$ 1,172,000

3/31/2009


21,545,000

3/31/2012


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

In addition, from November 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004, 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, 2005.

The capital losses were as follows:

Fund

Capital Losses

Long Range Fund
$ 305,000

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, futures and foreign currency related transactions. 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, 2004, 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*
$ 5,387,624 $ 459,983 $ 128,610
Capital loss carryforwards
$ (67,787,000) $ (4,884,000) $ (813,00)

In addition, during the years ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by each Fund is summarized as follows:

2004

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions and gains from forward foreign currency exchange contracts 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.

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 year ended March 31, 2004, 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
1.00%
Premier Class
.55%
Lifecycle Mid Range
1.00%
Lifecycle Short Range
1.00%

Under these agreements, the Advisor and Administrator waived and absorbed $1,198,126, $250,245 and $137,047 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 year ended March 31, 2004, the Administrator Service Fee was as follows:

Administrator Service Fee

Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is each Fund's transfer, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent. 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 Funds.

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. As compensation for his or her services, each Independent Trustee receives an aggregate annual fee, plus a fee for each meeting attended (plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at board and committee meetings) from each Fund in the Fund Complex for which he or she serves. In addition, the Chairman of the Fund Complex's Audit Committee receives an annual fee for his services.

D. Acquisition of Assets

On July 25, 2003, the Lifecycle Long Range Fund (formerly Scudder Asset Management Fund) acquired all of the net assets of Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund (the "Acquired Fund") pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders on June 3, 2003. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 5,999,562 shares of the Investment Class of the Fund for the 5,999,562 outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund on July 25, 2003. The Acquired Fund's net assets at that date ($58,476,295), including $5,127,564 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $639,161,590. The combined net assets of the Fund immediately following the acquisition were $697,363,655. The Acquired Fund had tax loss carryforwards of $16,433,000 which may be applied against any future net realized gains of the Scudder Lifecycle Long Range Fund, subject to possible limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.

E. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

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


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Trustees of Scudder Advisor Funds III, formerly BT Pyramid Mutual Funds, and Scudder Advisor Funds, formerly BT Investment Funds, and Shareholders of Lifecycle Long Range Fund, Lifecycle Mid Range Fund and Lifecycle Short Range Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lifecycle Long Range Fund, formerly Scudder Asset Management Fund, Lifecycle Mid Range Fund and Lifecycle Short Range Fund (two of the Funds comprising Scudder Advisor Funds and one of the Funds comprising Scudder Advisor Funds III, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at March 31, 2004, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion expressed above.

Notes to Financial Statements


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 or official closing 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 affiliated funds 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, to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities and to enhance the total returns.

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. The Portfolio may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Portfolio sells to a bank or broker/dealer (the "counterparty") mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities on a fixed date. The counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including prepayments, made on the security while it is the holder. 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.

Mortgage dollar rolls may be treated for purposes of the 1940 Act as borrowings by the Portfolio because they involve the sale of a security coupled with an agreement to repurchase. A mortgage dollar roll involves costs to the Portfolio. For example, while the Portfolio receives compensation as consideration for agreeing to repurchase the security, the Portfolio forgoes the right to receive all principal and interest payments while the counterparty holds the security. These payments to the counterparty may exceed the compensation received by the Portfolio, thereby effectively charging the Portfolio interest on its borrowing. Further, although the Portfolio can estimate the amount of expected principal prepayment over the term of the mortgage dollar roll, a variation in the actual amount of prepayment could increase or decrease the cost of the Portfolio's borrowing.

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. There can be no assurance that the Portfolio's use of the cash that it receives from a mortgage dollar roll will provide a return that exceeds its borrowing costs.

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.

Expenses. Expenses of the Trusts 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.

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 a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment security transactions are reported on 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.

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 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. The investment advisory fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement is equal to an annual rate of 0.65% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Each Portfolio did not impose a portion of its advisory fees equivalent to the advisory fees charged on assets invested in the affiliated money market fund, Cash Management Fund Institutional.

Effective April 25, 2003, Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (now Northern Trust Investments, National Association) ("NTI") became each Portfolio's subadvisor and manages the passive equity portion of each Portfolio. NTI is paid directly by DeAM, Inc. for its sub-advisory services.

For the period ended March 31, 2004, 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.

For the year ended March 31, 2004, the Investment Advisory Fee was as follows:

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas ("DBT Co."), an affiliate of each Portfolio's Advisor and Administrator, served as the Portfolios' custodian. Effective June 6, 2003, State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") is the Portfolios' custodian.

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. As compensation for his or her services, each Independent Trustee receives an aggregate annual fee, plus a fee for each meeting attended (plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at board and committee meetings) from each Fund in the Fund Complex for which he or she serves. In addition, the Chairman of the Fund Complex's Audit Committee receives an annual fee for his services. Payment of such fees and expenses is allocated among all such Funds described above in direct proportion to their relative net assets.

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

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

D. Securities Lending

The Portfolios may lend securities to financial institutions. The Portfolios retain beneficial ownership of the securities they have loaned and continue to receive interest and dividends paid by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Portfolios require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Portfolios in the form of cash and/or government securities equal to 102 percent of the value of domestic securities on loan. The Portfolios may invest the cash collateral in Daily Assets Fund Institutional, an affiliated money market fund. The Portfolios receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral. Either the Portfolios or the borrower may terminate the loan. The Portfolios are subject to all investment risks associated with the value of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

F. 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 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. 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. Each Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

G. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

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


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Trustees of Scudder Asset Management Portfolio and Scudder Investment Portfolios, formerly BT Investment Portfolios, and Holders of Beneficial Interest of the Asset Management Portfolios:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolios, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Asset Management Portfolio, Asset Management Portfolio II and Asset Management Portfolio III (hereafter referred to as the "Portfolios") at March 31, 2004, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolios' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

ITEM 2.         CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period, March 31, 2004, Scudder Advisor Funds 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.

ITEM 10.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) The Chief Executive and Financial  Officers  concluded that the Registrant's
Disclosure  Controls and Procedures are effective based on the evaluation of the
Disclosure  Controls  and  Procedures  as of a date within 90 days of the filing
date of this report.

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