Performance Summary October 31, 2004

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please visit scudder.com for the product's most recent month-end performance.

The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.75%. For Class B shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is 4% within the first year after purchase, declining to 0% after six years. Class C shares have no adjustment for front-end sales charges but redemptions within one year of purchase may be subject to a CDSC of 1%. Unadjusted returns do not reflect sales charges and would have been lower if they had. Investment Class shares are not subject to sales charges.

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.

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.

Returns shown for Class A, B and C shares for the periods prior to June 29, 2001 are derived from the historical performance of Investment Class shares of the International Equity 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.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses

As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, all classes of the Fund limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended October 31, 2004.

The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:

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

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

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

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment for the six months ended October 31, 2004
Actual Fund Return	Class A	Class B	Class C	Investment Class
Beginning Account Value 5/1/04	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,000.00

Expenses Paid per $1,000*	$ 7.49	$ 11.35	$ 11.31	$ 7.53

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by 365.

In the following interview, Lead Portfolio Manager Alex Tedder discusses Scudder International Equity Fund's strategy and the market environment during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2004.

Q:  How did the international stock markets perform during the past year?

A:International equities performed well during the fund's fiscal year, as investors responded to a continued environment of moderate global growth, steady gains in corporate earnings and low absolute levels of interest rates worldwide. An additional factor helping overseas markets was the strength in foreign currencies relative to the US dollar. Since foreign shares are denominated in local-country currencies, a gain in the value of the currency helps increase the value of the investment in US dollar terms. During the past year, for instance, the value of the euro rose 11.5% against the dollar, while the British pound and Japanese yen rose 9.2% and 4.4%, respectively. This provided a substantial boost to the gains enjoyed by dollar-based investors during the period, contributing approximately 8% of the 18.84% return of the MSCI EAFE Index.¹

¹ The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index is an unmanaged, capitalization- weighted index that tracks international stock performance in the 21 developed markets in Europe, Australasia and the Far East. Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions and do not reflect fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The strong performance of the international markets occurred despite ongoing investor nervousness over geopolitical tensions, soaring oil prices, a possible economic slowdown in China and rising interest rates in the United States. This investor nervousness led to volatility in the world markets, particularly during the second quarter. Investors therefore tended to favor stocks perceived to be more conservative, helping value stocks outperform their growth counterparts. Given this value bent in the market, it is no surprise that some of the top-performing industry groups were the traditional "safe havens" — the higher-yielding utility and energy sectors — while on the other end of the spectrum, the higher-risk technology sector lagged the performance of the broader MSCI EAFE Index by roughly 20 percentage points.

On a regional basis, the European markets outpaced Japan, which lagged during the second half of the period as investor concerns about the impact of a strong yen on exporters outweighed the positive news of a six-year high in Japanese business confidence and strong industrial production results.² Stocks in the emerging markets performed particularly well, generally benefiting from growth in domestic consumption and rising returns on equity. Despite recent strong performance, valuations in emerging markets remain compelling, as emerging-market stocks are still priced at a discount to developed markets.³

² A strong currency can slow a region's economy by making their goods and services more expensive to consumers in other countries.

³ "Valuation" refers to the price investors pay for a given security. An asset can be undervalued, meaning that it trades for less than its true worth, or overvalued, which means that it trades at a more expensive price than its underlying worth.

Q:  How did the fund perform in this environment?

A: The total return of the fund's Class A shares for the 12 months ended October 31, 2004 was 11.77%. (Returns are unadjusted for sales charges. If sales charges had been included, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please see pages 3 through 5 for complete performance information.) For the period, the MSCI EAFE benchmark returned 18.84%, and the average return of the Lipper International Large-Cap Core category was 14.63%.⁴

A key component of the fund's underperformance was its "hedged" position with respect to currency movements. "Hedging" means that we buy securities that will set the fund's currency exposure at a certain level. For instance, if a fund holds 100% of assets in foreign stocks, 100% of its currency exposure will be in foreign currencies. However, the fund can gain exposure to the US dollar through hedging, so that the portfolio does not have to be 100% exposed to foreign currency movements. This sort of hedge will help if the US dollar rises, but hurt if it declines. Since the US dollar weakened during the reporting period, this aspect of the fund's positioning was detrimental to performance.

⁴ Funds in the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds category are defined as those that invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies strictly outside of the United States with market capitalizations (on a three-year-weighted basis) greater than 400% of the 75th market capitalization percentile of the S&P/Citigroup World ex-US Broad Market Index (BMI). Large-cap core funds typically have an average price-to-cash flow ratio, price-to-book ratio and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared with the S&P/Citigroup World ex-US BMI.

A second reason for underperformance was that much of the strength in the benchmark, in relation to the fund and to the Lipper peer group, was due to the substantial outperformance of value stocks as investors flocked to perceived safe harbors. Still, we believe that the best way to achieve long-term outperformance is to stay true to our approach, which is to emphasize companies with sustainable earnings growth and have strong business models or franchises that allow them pricing power. Examples of such companies are: Natural price leaders in industries with high barriers to entry; companies in regulated industries or in industries that benefit from state monopolies; and dominant brand or service franchises.

Q:  What elements of the fund's positioning contributed to its underperformance?

A:The most challenging sector for the period was financials. Although many banking names within the sector were strong performers, OTP Bank RT (Hungary) and Alpha Bank AE (Greece) were two of the portfolio's top contributors to performance. European insurers and financial services were the main detractors. European insurers such as Allianz AG (Germany) and Munich Re (Switzerland) posted disappointing results over the period and are continuing to undergo restructuring efforts to improve efficiency. (As of October 31, 2004, the position in Allianz AG and Munich Re were sold.)

Health care stocks also disappointed during the period. Our holding in Smith & Nephew PLC, a UK manufacturer of orthopedic medical devices, performed well in the first half of the year, but declined significantly in July when it reported softer-than-expected sales. We believe this disappointment is indicative of a short-term market overreaction rather than long-term weakness in the company's business, and we continue to hold the stock in the portfolio. Pharmaceutical stocks, which make up the balance of our holdings in the sector, continued to be weighed down ahead of the US election. Share valuations also reflected overly pessimistic investor sentiment about future product development and existing drug pipelines.

Extraordinary and well-publicized circumstances surrounding the Russian oil company Yukos also impacted the portfolio's performance. The shares declined dramatically during the period on fears of an impending liquidity crisis following the arrest of its largest individual shareholder (Mikhail Khodorkovsky), the Russian government's announcement of a radical change of stance on its taxation policy and the freezing of the company's assets by the government. As greater clarity emerged with respect to the situation and it became evident that any resolution would favor the Russian tax authorities instead of shareholders, we decided to sell the position. (As of October 31, 2004, the positions in Yukos was sold.)

Q:  What factors helped performance?

A:Fund returns were helped by holdings in the basic materials sector. Stocks in this group were aided by the combination of continued economic growth worldwide, increasing demand for raw materials from the booming Chinese infrastructure build-out, and the resulting rise in commodities prices. Our stock selection in this area was strong, as we generated outperformance from holdings in metals and mining companies such as Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (Brazil), BHP Billiton PLC (UK) and the Korean steel producer POSCO.

Information technology was a poor performer within the index this year, posting negative returns. However, our stock selection within the portfolio was strong and technology was one of our top performing sectors. An overweight position in Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Sweden) lifted performance, as the company reported stronger than expected results, considerable improvement in gross margins and a recovery in wireless equipment capital spending.

Although the fund was slightly underweight in utilities, the top-performing index sector this period, the portfolio's utilities stocks significantly exceeded the index sector return. Thus, our utilities exposure was a very strong contributor to return, benefiting from a market environment that favored companies with stable cash flows. The German utility E.ON AG, the fund's top holding in the sector, benefited from its decision to restructure its operations in order to streamline its business to a more focused electric and gas energy company, as well as from the recent completion of an attractive acquisition.

Q:  What is your broad view of the international stock markets as we move into 2005?

A:Evaluating the spectrum of international equities right now, we believe the disparity in relative valuation between different sectors, regions or investment styles is minimal. Since the peak of the market in early 2000, value has outperformed growth by an annualized difference of approximately eight percentage points. Interestingly, based on our measure of trend earnings, we believe growth is now priced at a discount to value. At the same time, the gap between large and small-cap stocks has also narrowed, leaving little room for a further convergence of valuations in this area. This is a clear reflection of the challenges in the current investment environment, and it has resulted in investors focusing on generating a larger percentage of their total return through income rather than price appreciation. Although there are initial signs that some of the clouds of uncertainty may be dissipating, the investment environment is likely to prove challenging into 2005. Importantly though, we believe overall valuation levels remain quite supportive for stocks (particularly relative to bonds), and we therefore remain optimistic on the prospects for international equities.

Notes to Financial Statements

A. Significant Accounting Policies

International Equity Fund ("Scudder International Equity Fund" or the "Fund") is a diversified series of the Scudder Advisor 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 Scudder International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a diversified, open-end management investment company advised by Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc."). On October 31, 2004, the Fund owned approximately 87% of the 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. Class A shares are offered to investors subject to an initial sales charge. Class B shares are offered without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years after issuance. Class C shares are offered to investors without 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. Prior to March 1, 2004, Class C shares were offered with an initial sales charge. 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 services to shareholders, distribution service 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 in the Portfolio by multiplying its proportionate ownership of the Portfolio by the total value of the Portfolio's net assets.

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

Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $432,444,000 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until October 31, 2008 ($1,543,000), October 31, 2009 ($295,321,000), October 31, 2010 ($108,362,000) and October 31, 2011 ($27,218,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first, which may be subject to certain limitations under Sections 382-383 of the Internal Revenue Code.

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

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.

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

At October 31, 2004, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*	$ —
Undistributed net long-term capital gains	$ —
Capital loss carryforwards	$ (432,444,000)

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

	Years ended October 31,
	2004	2003
Distributions from ordinary income*	$ 6,650,800	$ 254,796

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

Other. The Fund receives a daily allocation of the Portfolio's income, expenses and net realized and unrealized gains and losses 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

There were no underwriting commissions paid in connection with the distribution of Class C shares for the year ended October 31, 2004.

In addition, SDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of purchase and 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 based on declining rates ranging from 4% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the value of the shares redeemed. For the year ended October 31, 2004, the CDSC for Class B and C shares aggregated $1,950 and $146, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up to 1% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A. For the year ended October 31, 2004, SDI received none.

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.

D. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

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

Notes to Financial Statements

A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified open-end management investment company organized as a New York business trust.

The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Investments are stated at value determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale price 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.

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 any open-end investment companies 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 Directors. The Fund may use a fair valuation model to value international equity securities in order to adjust for events which may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the close of the New York Stock Exchange.

Securities Lending. The Portfolio may lend securities to financial institutions. The Portfolio retains beneficial ownership of the securities it has loaned and continues to receive interest and dividends paid by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The Fund may invest the cash collateral into a joint trading account in an affiliated money market fund pursuant to Exemptive Orders issued by the SEC. The Portfolio receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral net fees paid to lending agent. Either the Portfolio or the borrower may terminate the loan. The Portfolio is 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.

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. The Fund may also engage in forward currency contracts for non-hedging purposes.

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.

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

Gains realized upon disposition of Indian securities held by the Fund are subject to capital gains tax in India, payable prior to repatriation of sale proceeds. The tax is computed on net realized gains; any realized losses in excess of gains may be carried forward eight years to offset future gains. In addition, the Fund accrues a deferred tax liability for net unrealized gains in excess of available carryforwards on Indian securities.

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 the Portfolio is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

The Portfolio makes a daily allocation of its 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 the Portfolio.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended October 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $255,890,307 and $439,926,706, 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 investment advisory fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement is equal to an annual rate of 0.65% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Deutsche Asset Management Investment Services Ltd. ("DeAMIS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as subadvisor with respect to the investment and reinvestment of assets in the Portfolio and is paid by the Advisor for its services. The Advisor waives a portion of its advisory fee equivalent to the advisory fees charged by any affiliated money market funds on assets invested in those money market funds.

In addition, for the year ended October 31, 2004, the Advisor agreed to reimburse the Fund $3,190, which represents a portion of the fee savings expected to be realized by the Advisor related to the outsourcing by Advisor of certain administrative services to an unaffiliated service provider.

Administrator Service Fee. For its services as Administrator, ICCC receives a fee (the "Administrator Service Fee") of 0.15% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended October 31, 2004, the Administrator Service Fee aggregated $617,652, of which $43,198 is unpaid at October 31, 2004.

For the year ended October 31, 2004, the Advisor and Administrator agreed to waive their fees and reimburse expenses to the Portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized expenses of the Portfolio at 0.70%. The amount of the waiver and whether the Advisor and/or Administrator waive its fees may vary at any time without notice to the shareholders.

Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2004, the Advisor waived a portion of its advisory fee pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement aggregating $584,089 and the amount imposed aggregated $2,676,490, which was equivalent to an annualized effective rate of 0.51% of the Portfolio's average net assets.

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.

E. Line of Credit

The Portfolio and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants were charged an annual commitment fee which was allocated, based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. 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. At October 31, 2004, there were no loans outstanding. Interest expense incurred on the borrowings amounted to $25,694 for the year ended October 31, 2004. The average dollar amount of the borrowings was $5,865,979 and the weighted average interest rate on these borrowings was 1.626%.

F. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of International Equity Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, 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 the International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") at October 31, 2004, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, 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 Portfolio's 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 audits 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 October 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ITEM 2.         CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period,  October 31, 2004,  Scudder Advisor Funds  has
adopted a code of ethics,  as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR,  that  applies to
its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer.

There have been no amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the code of
ethics during the period covered by this report that would require disclosure
under Item 2.

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.

services that PWC rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to the Adviser and

I.       Overview

This Principal  Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer Code of Ethics
("Officer Code") sets forth the policies,  practices,  and values expected to be
exhibited  in the conduct of the  Principal  Executive  Officers  and  Principal
Financial  Officers of the investment  companies  ("Funds") they serve ("Covered
Officers"). A list of Covered Officers and Funds is included on Appendix A.

The Boards of the Funds  listed on  Appendix A have  elected  to  implement  the
Officer Code,  pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the
SEC's rules thereunder, to promote and demonstrate honest and ethical conduct in
their Covered Officers.

Deutsche  Asset  Management,  Inc.  or its  affiliates  ("DeAM")  serves  as the
investment adviser to each Fund. All Covered Officers are also employees of DeAM
or an  affiliate.  Thus,  in addition to  adhering  to the Officer  Code,  these
individuals must comply with DeAM policies and procedures, such as the DeAM Code
of Ethics  governing  personal trading  activities,  as adopted pursuant to Rule
17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.^1 In addition,  such individuals
also must comply with other applicable Fund policies and procedures.

The DeAM  Compliance  Officer,  who shall not be a Covered Officer and who shall
serve  as such  subject  to the  approval  of the  Fund's  Board  (or  committee
thereof), is primarily responsible for implementing and enforcing this Code. The
Compliance  Officer has the  authority  to  interpret  this Officer Code and its
applicability to particular circumstances.  Any questions about the Officer Code
should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer.

The DeAM Compliance  Officer and his or her contact  information can be found in
Appendix A.

II.      Purposes of the Officer Code

The purposes of the Officer Code are to deter wrongdoing and to:

o        promote honest and ethical  conduct among Covered  Officers,  including
         the  ethical  handling  of actual or  apparent  conflicts  of  interest
         between personal and professional relationships;

o        promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable  disclosures in
         reports  and  documents  that the Funds  file with or submit to the SEC
         (and in other public communications from the Funds) and that are within
         the Covered Officer's responsibilities;

o        promote compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations;

o        encourage  the prompt  internal  reporting of violations of the Officer
         Code to the DeAM Compliance Officer; and

o        establish accountability for adherence to the Officer Code.

Any  questions  about the Officer  Code should be referred to DeAM's  Compliance
Officer.

- --------

^1 The  obligations  imposed  by the  Officer  Code are  separate  from,  and in
addition to, any obligations  imposed under codes of ethics adopted  pursuant to
Rule  17j-1  under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  and any other code of
conduct  applicable to Covered  Officers in whatever  capacity  they serve.  The
Officer  Code does not  incorporate  any of those other codes and,  accordingly,
violations of those codes will not  necessarily be considered  violations of the
Officer Code and waivers granted under those codes would not necessarily require
a waiver to be granted under this Code.  Sanctions imposed under those codes may
be considered  in  determining  appropriate  sanctions for any violation of this
Code.


                                       3


III.     Responsibilities of Covered Officers

A.       Honest and Ethical Conduct

         It is the duty of every Covered  Officer to encourage  and  demonstrate
         honest and ethical conduct,  as well as adhere to and require adherence
         to the Officer Code and any other  applicable  policies and  procedures
         designed to promote this behavior.  Covered  Officers must at all times
         conduct  themselves with integrity and  distinction,  putting first the
         interests of the Fund(s) they serve.  Covered  Officers  must be honest
         and candid  while  maintaining  confidentiality  of  information  where
         required by law, DeAM policy or Fund policy.

         Covered   Officers  also  must,  at  all  times,  act  in  good  faith,
         responsibly  and with  due  care,  competence  and  diligence,  without
         misrepresenting  or being  misleading  about material facts or allowing
         their  independent  judgment to be subordinated.  Covered Officers also
         should maintain skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of
         their duties for the Fund(s).  Covered  Officers also must  responsibly
         use and control all Fund assets and resources entrusted to them.

         Covered  Officers may not  retaliate  against  others for, or otherwise
         discourage  the  reporting  of,  actual or apparent  violations  of the
         Officer Code or applicable laws or regulations. Covered Officers should
         create an  environment  that  encourages  the exchange of  information,
         including concerns of the type that this Code is designed to address.

B.       Conflicts of Interest

         A  "conflict  of  interest"  occurs when a Covered  Officer's  personal
         interests  interfere with the interests of the Fund for which he or she
         serves as an officer.  Covered  Officers may not  improperly  use their
         position with a Fund for personal or private gain to themselves,  their
         family,  or any other person.  Similarly,  Covered Officers may not use
         their  personal  influence  or  personal   relationships  to  influence
         decisions  or other Fund  business or  operational  matters  where they
         would  benefit  personally  at the  Fund's  expense  or to  the  Fund's
         detriment.  Covered Officers may not cause the Fund to take action,  or
         refrain from taking action,  for their  personal  benefit at the Fund's
         expense or to the Fund's  detriment.  Some  examples  of  conflicts  of
         interest  follow  (this  is not an  all-inclusive  list):  being in the
         position of  supervising,  reviewing or having any influence on the job
         evaluation,  pay or benefit of any  immediate  family  member who is an
         employee of a Fund service provider or is otherwise associated with the
         Fund; or having an ownership  interest in, or having any  consulting or
         employment relationship with, any Fund service provider other than DeAM
         or its affiliates.

         Certain  conflicts  of  interest  covered by this Code arise out of the
         relationships  between  Covered  Officers and the Fund that already are
         subject to conflict of interest  provisions in the  Investment  Company
         Act and the Investment Advisers Act. For example,  Covered Officers may
         not individually  engage in certain  transactions (such as the purchase
         or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their
         status as  "affiliated  persons"  of the Fund.  Covered  Officers  must
         comply with applicable laws and regulations.  Therefore, any violations
         of  existing  statutory  and  regulatory   prohibitions  on  individual
         behavior could be considered a violation of this Code.

         As  to  conflicts  arising  from,  or  as  a  result  of  the  advisory
         relationship (or any other relationships) between the Fund and DeAM, of
         which the  Covered  Officers  are also  officers  or  employees,  it is
         recognized by the Board that, subject to DeAM's fiduciary duties to the
         Fund,  the Covered  Officers  will in the normal course of their duties
         (whether formally for the Fund or for DeAM, or for both) be involved in
         establishing  policies  and  implementing  decisions  which  will  have
         different  effects on


                                       4


         DeAM and the Fund. The Board  recognizes that the  participation of the
         Covered  Officers  in  such  activities  is  inherent  in the  contract
         relationship  between  the Fund and DeAM,  and is  consistent  with the
         expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered  Officers of
         their duties as officers of the Fund.

         Covered  Officers  should  avoid  actual  conflicts  of  interest,  and
         appearances  of conflicts of  interest,  between the Covered  Officer's
         duties  to the  Fund and his or her  personal  interests  beyond  those
         contemplated  or anticipated  by applicable  regulatory  schemes.  If a
         Covered  Officer  suspects or knows of a conflict or an  appearance  of
         one, the Covered Officer must immediately report the matter to the DeAM
         Compliance  Officer.  If a Covered Officer, in lieu of reporting such a
         matter to the DeAM Compliance  Officer,  may report the matter directly
         to the Fund's Board (or committee  thereof),  as appropriate  (e.g., if
         the  conflict  involves  the DeAM  Compliance  Officer  or the  Covered
         Officer reasonably  believes it would be futile to report the matter to
         the DeAM Compliance Officer).

         When  actual,  apparent or  suspected  conflicts  of interest  arise in
         connection with a Covered  Officer,  DeAM personnel aware of the matter
         should promptly contact the DeAM Compliance  Officer.  There will be no
         reprisal or retaliation against the person reporting the matter.

         Upon receipt of a report of a possible  conflict,  the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer will take steps to determine  whether a conflict exists.  In so
         doing,  the DeAM  Compliance  Officer  may take any  actions  he or she
         determines to be appropriate in his or her sole  discretion and may use
         all  reasonable  resources,   including  retaining  or  engaging  legal
         counsel,  accounting firms or other consultants,  subject to applicable
         law.^2 The costs associated with such actions may be borne by the Fund,
         if appropriate,  after consultation with the Fund's Board (or committee
         thereof).  Otherwise,  such  costs  will be  borne  by  DeAM  or  other
         appropriate Fund service provider.

         After full review of a report of a possible  conflict of interest,  the
         DeAM  Compliance  Officer may determine  that no conflict or reasonable
         appearance  of a conflict  exists.  If,  however,  the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer  determines  that an actual  conflict  exists,  the  Compliance
         Officer will resolve the conflict  solely in the interests of the Fund,
         and will report the conflict and its resolution to the Fund's Board (or
         committee thereof).  If the DeAM Compliance Officer determines that the
         appearance of a conflict exists,  the DeAM Compliance Officer will take
         appropriate  steps to remedy such  appearance.  In lieu of  determining
         whether  a  conflict  exists  and/or  resolving  a  conflict,  the DeAM
         Compliance Officer instead may refer the matter to the Fund's Board (or
         committee  thereof),  as  appropriate.  However,  the  DeAM  Compliance
         Officer  must  refer the  matter  to the  Fund's  Board  (or  committee
         thereof) if the DeAM  Compliance  Officer is  directly  involved in the
         conflict or under similar appropriate circumstances.

         After  responding to a report of a possible  conflict of interest,  the
         DeAM  Compliance  Officer  will  discuss  the  matter  with the  person
         reporting it (and with the Covered  Officer at issue, if different) for
         purposes  of  educating   those  involved  on  conflicts  of  interests
         (including how to detect and avoid them, if appropriate).

         Appropriate   resolution   of  conflicts   may  restrict  the  personal
         activities of the Covered  Officer and/or his family,  friends or other
         persons.

         Solely because a conflict is disclosed to the DeAM  Compliance  Officer
         (and/or the Board or  Committee  thereof)  and/or  resolved by the DeAM
         Compliance  Officer does not mean that the  conflict or its  resolution
         constitutes a waiver from the Code's requirements.

- -----------------

^2 For  example,  retaining  a Fund's  independent  accounting  firm may require
pre-approval by the Fund's audit  committee.

                                       5


         Any  questions  about  conflicts  of  interests,  including  whether  a
         particular  situation  might be a  conflict  or an  appearance  of one,
         should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer.

         C.       Use of Personal Fund Shareholder Information

         A Covered Officer may not use or disclose  personal  information  about
         Fund  shareholders,  except in the performance of his or her duties for
         the Fund. Each Covered Officer also must abide by the Funds' and DeAM's
         privacy policies under SEC Regulation S-P.

         D.       Public Communications

         In connection with his or her  responsibilities for or involvement with
         a  Fund's  public   communications  and  disclosure   documents  (e.g.,
         shareholder reports,  registration  statements,  press releases),  each
         Covered  Officer must  provide  information  to Fund service  providers
         (within the DeAM  organization  or  otherwise)  and to the Fund's Board
         (and  any  committees  thereof),   independent   auditors,   government
         regulators and  self-regulatory  organizations that is fair,  accurate,
         complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable.

         Further,  within the scope of their  duties,  Covered  Officers  having
         direct or supervisory authority over Fund disclosure documents or other
         public Fund communications will, to the extent appropriate within their
         area of responsibility, endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate
         and  understandable  disclosure  in  Fund  disclosure  documents.  Such
         Covered Officers will oversee, or appoint others to oversee,  processes
         for the timely and accurate  creation and review of all public  reports
         and regulatory filings. Within the scope of his or her responsibilities
         as a Covered  Officer,  each  Covered  Officer  also  will  familiarize
         himself or herself with the disclosure  requirements  applicable to the
         Fund,  as well as the business and  financial  operations  of the Fund.
         Each Covered  Officer  also will adhere to, and will promote  adherence
         to, applicable disclosure controls, processes and procedures, including
         DeAM's Disclosure Controls and Procedures,  which govern the process by
         which Fund disclosure documents are created and reviewed.

         To the extent that Covered  Officers  participate  in the creation of a
         Fund's  books or records,  they must do so in a way that  promotes  the
         accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records.

E.       Compliance with Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations

         In connection with his or her duties and within the scope of his or her
         responsibilities as a Covered Officer, each Covered Officer must comply
         with governmental  laws, rules and regulations,  accounting  standards,
         and  Fund   policies/procedures   that   apply  to  his  or  her  role,
         responsibilities  and duties  with  respect  to the Funds  ("Applicable
         Laws").  These  requirements  do not  impose on  Covered  Officers  any
         additional  substantive duties.  Additionally,  Covered Officers should
         promote compliance with Applicable Laws.

         If a Covered  Officer  knows of any material  violations  of Applicable
         Laws or suspects that such a violation may have  occurred,  the Covered
         Officer  is  expected  to  promptly  report  the  matter  to  the  DeAM
         Compliance Officer.



                                       6


IV.      Violation Reporting

A.       Overview

Each Covered Officer must promptly report to the DeAM Compliance Officer, and
promote the reporting of, any known or suspected violations of the Officer Code.
Failure to report a violation may be a violation of the Officer Code.

Examples of violations of the Officer Code include, but are not limited to, the
following:

o        Unethical or dishonest behavior

o        Obvious lack of adherence to policies surrounding review and approval
         of public communications and regulatory filings

o        Failure to report violations of the Officer Code

o        Known or obvious deviations from Applicable Laws

o        Failure to acknowledge and certify adherence to the Officer Code

The DeAM Compliance Officer has the authority to take any and all action he or
she considers appropriate in his or her sole discretion to investigate known or
suspected Code violations, including consulting with the Fund's Board, the
independent Board members, a Board committee, the Fund's legal counsel and/or
counsel to the independent Board members. The Compliance Officer also has the
authority to use all reasonable resources to investigate violations, including
retaining or engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants,
subject to applicable law.^3 The costs associated with such actions may be borne
by the Fund, if appropriate, after consultation with the Fund's Board (or
committee thereof). Otherwise, such costs will be borne by DeAM.

B.       How to Report

Any known or suspected violations of the Officer Code must be promptly reported
to the DeAM Compliance Officer.

C.       Process for Violation Reporting to the Fund Board

The DeAM Compliance Officer will promptly report any violations of the Code to
the Fund's Board (or committee thereof).

D.       Sanctions for Code Violations

Violations of the Code will be taken seriously. In response to reported or
otherwise known violations, DeAM and the relevant Fund's Board may impose
sanctions within the scope of their respective authority over the Covered
Officer at issue. Sanctions imposed by DeAM could include termination of
employment. Sanctions imposed by a Fund's Board could include termination of
association with the Fund.

V.       Waivers from the Officer Code

A Covered  Officer may request a waiver from the Officer Code by  transmitting a
written request for a waiver to the DeAM Compliance  Officer.^4 The request must
include the  rationale  for the request and must explain how the waiver would be
in furtherance of the standards of conduct described in and underlying  purposes
of the Officer Code. The DeAM Compliance Officer will present this information

- --------------

^3 For  example,  retaining  a Fund's  independent  accounting  firm may require
pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee.

^4 Of course,  it is not a waiver of the  Officer  Code if the Fund's  Board (or
committee thereof)  determines that a matter is not a deviation from the Officer
Code's requirements or is otherwise not covered by the Code.

                                       7


to the  Fund's  Board (or  committee  thereof).  The Board (or  committee)  will
determine  whether to grant the requested  waiver.  If the Board (or  committee)
grants the requested waiver, the DeAM Compliance Officer thereafter will monitor
the activities  subject to the waiver, as appropriate,  and will promptly report
to the  Fund's  Board (or  committee  thereof)  regarding  such  activities,  as
appropriate.

The DeAM  Compliance  Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required public
disclosures of any waivers granted or any implicit waivers.

VI.      Amendments to the Code

The DeAM  Compliance  Officer will review the Officer Code from time to time for
its  continued  appropriateness  and will propose any  amendments  to the Fund's
Board (or  committee  thereof) on a timely  basis.  In  addition,  the Board (or
committee  thereof)  will  review the  Officer  Code at least  annually  for its
continued appropriateness and may amend the Code as necessary or appropriate.

The DeAM  Compliance  Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required public
disclosures of Code amendments.

VII.     Acknowledgement and Certification of Adherence to the Officer Code

Each Covered Officer must sign a statement upon appointment as a Covered Officer
and annually  thereafter  acknowledging that he or she has received and read the
Officer Code, as amended or updated,  and confirming that he or she has complied
with it (see Appendix B:  Acknowledgement and Certification of Obligations Under
the Officer Code).

Understanding and complying with the Officer Code and truthfully  completing the
Acknowledgement and Certification Form is each Covered Officer's obligation.

The DeAM Compliance  Officer will maintain such  Acknowledgements  in the Fund's
books and records.

VIII.    Scope of Responsibilities

A Covered Officer's responsibilities under the Officer Code are limited to:

         (1)      Fund matters over which the Officer has direct  responsibility
                  or   control,   matters   in  which  the   Officer   routinely
                  participates,  and matters with which the Officer is otherwise
                  involved  (i.e.,  matters  within  the  scope  of the  Covered
                  Officer's responsibilities as a Fund officer); and

         (2)      Fund matters of which the Officer has actual knowledge.

IX.      Recordkeeping

The DeAM  Compliance  Officer  will  create  and  maintain  appropriate  records
regarding  the  implementation  and  operation  of the Officer  Code,  including
records relating to conflicts of interest  determinations  and investigations of
possible Code violations.



                                       8


X.       Confidentiality

All reports and records  prepared or  maintained  pursuant to this  Officer Code
shall  be  considered   confidential  and  shall  be  maintained  and  protected
accordingly.  Except as  otherwise  required by law or this Officer  Code,  such
matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the DeAM Compliance Officer,
the Fund's Board (or committee thereof),  legal counsel,  independent  auditors,
and any consultants engaged by the Compliance Officer.

                  (d)      Disclosed in this report any change in the
                           registrant's internal control over financial
                           reporting that occurred during the registrant's most
                           recent fiscal half-year (the registrant's second
                           fiscal half-year in the case of an annual report)
                           that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
                           to materially affect, the registrant's internal
                           control over financial reporting; and

5.            The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed
              to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
              registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the
              equivalent functions):

                  (a)      All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
                           in the design or operation of internal control over
                           financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
                           adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
                           process, summarize, and report financial information;
                           and

                  (b)      Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
                           management or other employees who have a significant
                           role in the registrant's internal control over
                           financial reporting.
