* The Class commenced operations on November 22, 1995. Index returns begin November 30, 1995.
a Returns shown for Class B and C shares for the periods prior to their inception date on May 31, 1994 are derived from the historical performance of Class A shares of the Scudder Blue Chip Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses of each specific class. The difference in expenses will affect performance.
b The Fund's growth of an assumed $10,000 investment is adjusted for the maximum sales charge of 5.75%. This results in a net initial investment of $9,425.
c Returns shown for Class A, B and C shares have been adjusted to reflect the current applicable sales charges of each specific class. Returns for Class A reflect the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. Class B share performance is adjusted for the applicable CDSC, which is 4% within the first year after purchase, declining to 0% after six years. Class C shares have no adjustment for sales charges, but redemptions within one year of purchase may be subject to a CDSC of 1%. The difference in expenses will affect performance.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

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

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

Economic Overview


Dear Shareholder:

In recent months, signals about the United States economic recovery have been mixed. While gross domestic product (GDP) has been growing at a rate of about 3 percent since late 2001, the nation's unemployment rate climbed to 6 percent in November, the highest level since April. During the late summer and early fall months, consumers spent less money than they did in the earlier part of the year. Companies, fearful that consumers would not buy their products and that they would be left with vast inventories of goods they could not sell (and were costly to store), slowed their manufacturing. Since companies weren't manufacturing as many products, they needed fewer employees - and thus hired fewer workers.

The good news is that we believe this slowdown is the temporary result of corporate financial scandals and political uncertainty, and the recovery will ultimately continue.

Several things are helping to keep the economy on track. First and perhaps foremost, the government has lowered interest rates to keep the economy from slowing down too much. Throughout the year, the Federal Reserve Board has said that it believes interest rates are low enough to encourage an economic recovery. It promised, however, to look out for signs of a slowdown and to cut rates again if necessary. The Fed saw the same signs of slowing that we did, and on November 6, cut 50 basis points (one-half percentage point). We believe the Fed will cut more if necessary, and will not begin to raise rates until well into 2003, after the economic recovery becomes stronger.

Another factor keeping the economy on track is a robust housing sector. Because interest rates have been low, people have been buying more homes. The Commerce Department said new home sales rose 6.4 percent in November - the largest monthly percentage jump since December 2000. And when people buy homes - as when they buy any other products - the economy is stimulated.

How will the slowdown and ultimate recovery affect the fixed-income markets? Interest rates and bond prices tend to move in opposite directions. So as interest rates have fallen, bond prices have risen. But when the recovery

eventually strengthens and the Fed raises interest rates, bond prices will likely fall again. But we don't expect them to fall too drastically, because we don't expect interest rates to increase too drastically.

How will the slowdown and ultimate recovery affect the equity markets? Stock prices catapulted to what we believe were unjustified levels in the late 1990s. Stocks still aren't cheap, especially given the recent rally. But prices have now returned to more reasonable levels. While we don't expect stock prices to fall drastically, we don't expect them to come anywhere close to what we saw during the 1980s and 1990s.

The situation is similar abroad. Economic activity remains sluggish, with Japan and much of Europe struggling. But, as in the United States, we expect activity to improve gradually next year.

In the following interview, Portfolio Co-Manager Michael Patchen discusses the performance of Scudder Blue Chip Fund over the last 12 months and the changes made to the fund since the new portfolio management team assumed management in April 2002.

Q: Will you provide an overview of market conditions from November 1, 2001 through October 31, 2002?

A: At the start of the reporting period - November 1, 2001 - the US economy was in the midst of a recession, and the stock market was still in shock from the terrorist attacks of September 11. After the attacks, nearly every type of stock lost considerable ground. At year-end, the markets began to rally, but investor optimism was short-lived. By January, the Enron scandal was front-page news and had an enormous trickle-down effect that cut the rally short. Continued fears of corporate misconduct, lower-than-expected corporate earnings reports and geopolitical events, including the threat of war with Iraq, kept the stock market in bear territory throughout the remainder of the period.

Q: You took over management of Scudder Blue Chip Fund in early April. Will you tell us about your investment style and its potential impact on the fund?

A: We are managing this fund quite differently from the previous managers - using a quantitative equity style of management. Our goal is for this fund to outperform its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500), by 3-4 percent on an annualized basis with a limited amount of risk. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged group of large-cap stocks (value and growth) that are representative of the US stock market.

We are not managing this as an index fund, but the portfolio does have a high correlation to the S&P 500 and to the Russell 1000 Index (Russell 1000). The fund takes minimal deviations from the industry positions found in the S&P 500.

We use the Russell 1000 Index as our universe of stocks to consider for investment. The Russell 1000 is an unmanaged group of 1,000 large-cap stocks that is representative of the US stock market. We look for companies that are undervalued relative to their industry peers, yet have earnings growth prospects that are better than the industry average. These selection criteria provide access to both value and growth stocks, which gives the fund the potential to perform well no matter which style of stocks is in fashion. The fund is also much more diversified now. We've increased the holdings to about 115 stocks from approximately 80 when we assumed management. Our quantitative process allows us to analyze all securities thoroughly and equally. We place as much emphasis on portfolio construction as we do on stock evaluation, in order to help manage risk, with the goal of consistently outperforming the S&P 500 over time.

We believe this high level of diversification is important in this skittish and rotational environment in which stocks move into and out of favor quickly. Over the past year, we saw investors bid down the prices of stocks swiftly and precipitously on any news that could be construed as negative. The fund's diversification among growth and value stocks should help limit its exposure to deep declines in any one holding, which was helpful this period.

Q: How did the fund perform during the 12-month period?

A: Scudder Blue Chip Fund, along with the broad market, lost ground during the period. The fund's Class A shares posted a total return of -14.04 percent (unadjusted for sales charge) while the S&P 500 posted a loss of -15.11 percent. The fund also fared better than the average return of its peers in the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds category, which posted a -16.26 return for the same 12-month period. (For Lipper rankings and standardized performance, please see page 3 of this report.)

Q: What market sectors helped performance?

A: For the period that we've managed the fund, diversified financials contributed to performance - specifically the fund's holding in MBNA Corp., a consumer finance company. We purchased this stock after it declined precipitously in the late July market sell-off. Since then, it has appreciated handsomely based on favorable earnings announcements. We're slowly starting to pare back the fund's position in MBNA as its valuation moves closer to what we believe is fair market value.

Technology has been one of the most dismal market sectors this period. However, we added value through the fund's investment in Dell Computer - an issue that actually posted gains during the year. Dell performed well for a variety of reasons. It has an efficient inventory management system, strong cash flow and solid earnings growth, and it continues to gain market share in the highly competitive personal computer market. Despite these factors, we believe it is still trading at a reasonable valuation.

The fund was also helped relative to its benchmark by not owning a number of stocks represented in the S&P 500 that endured deep losses.

Q: Will you tell us about stocks that disappointed and hurt relative performance?

A: In the period that we've managed the fund, the materials sector has turned out to be the biggest detractor from performance. This was due to poor performance by Nucor, a manufacturer of steel products. We bought the stock because it had strong cash flow and was trading at an attractive valuation. We also believed it had strong long-term growth potential. However, when the company announced that its earnings would not meet expectations, investors fled the stock, and its price plummeted. While this was a negative performance factor for the fund, it did not materially drag down overall fund performance. That's because Nucor, like all positions in the broadly diversified portfolio, was a small one relative to the size of the overall portfolio. Having a large number of small stock positions helps insulate the fund from individual stock-specific risk.

Q: What is your outlook for the stock market and for the fund in particular?

A: We believe that the economy and the markets are poised for a slow and moderate recovery with a fair amount of volatility ahead. The Federal Reserve Board's aggressive interest rate cuts should help over the course of the next year by spurring increased spending. Notwithstanding any major geopolitical events, we look for mild improvements in the stock market in 2003.

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

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder Blue Chip Fund (the ``Fund'') is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ``1940 Act''), as an open-end, diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

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 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 within one year of purchase. Class C shares do not convert into another class. Class I shares are offered to a limited group of investors, are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges and have lower ongoing expenses than other classes.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution service fees, administrative fees and certain other class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

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

Security Valuation. Investments are stated at value determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale price reported on the exchange (US or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which the security is traded most extensively. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation.

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies and Scudder Cash Management QP Trust are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund. When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund 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 Fund'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 Fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable price movements in the hedged positions during the term of the contract.

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, 2002 the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $175,757,000 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until October 31, 2009 ($119,021,000) and October 31, 2010 ($56,736,000) the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

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. These differences primarily relate to certain securities sold at a loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.

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

Undistributed ordinary income
$ -
Undistributed net long-term capital gains
$ -
Capital loss carryforwards
$ (175,757,000)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments
$ (17,772,496)

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

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

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended October 31, 2002, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term instruments) aggregated $1,002,547,170 and $1,132,311,917, respectively.

C. Related Parties

On April 5, 2002, 100% of Zurich Scudder Investments, Inc. ("ZSI") was acquired by Deutsche Bank AG with the exception of Threadneedle Investments in the U.K. Upon the closing of this transaction, ZSI became part of Deutsche Asset Management and changed its name to Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or "the Advisor"). Effective April 5, 2002, the investment management agreement with ZSI was terminated and DeIM became the investment advisor for the Fund. The management fee rate paid by the Fund under the new Investment Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") is the same as the previous management agreement.

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement, the Advisor directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The Fund pays a monthly investment management fee of 1/12 of the annual rate of 0.58% of the first $250,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.55% of the next $750,000,000 of such net assets, 0.53% of the next $1,500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.51% of the next $2,500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.48% of the next $2,500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.46% of the next $2,500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.44% of the next $2,500,000,000 of such net assets and 0.42% of such net assets in excess of $12,500,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2002, the fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.56% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Administrative Fee. Under the Administrative Agreement (the "Administrative Agreement"), the Advisor provides or pays others to provide substantially all of the administrative services required by the Fund (other than those provided by the Advisor under its Management Agreement with the Fund, as described above) in exchange for the payment by each class of the Fund of an administrative services fee (the "Administrative Fee") of 0.325%, 0.375%, 0.35% and 0.10% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B, C and I shares, respectively, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.

Various third-party service providers, some of which are affiliated with the Advisor, provide certain services to the Fund under the Administrative Agreement. Scudder Investments Service Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer, shareholder service and dividend-paying agent for Class A, B, C and I shares of the Fund. In addition, other service providers not affiliated with the Advisor provide certain services (i.e., custody, legal and audit) to the Fund under the Administrative Agreement. The Advisor pays the service providers for the provision of their services to the Fund and pays other Fund expenses, including insurance, registration, printing, postage and other costs. Certain expenses of the Fund will not be borne by the Advisor under the Administrative Agreement, such as taxes, brokerage, interest and extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including the fees and expenses of their independent counsel). For the year ended October 31, 2002, the Administrative Fee was as follows:

Administrative Fee
Total Aggregated
Unpaid at October 31, 2002
Class A
$ 1,269,349 $ 88,560
Class B

Class C
194,272 13,543
Class I
4,508 269

$ 2,456,675

$ 167,776


In addition, the Administrative Fee expense on the Statement of Operations includes ($46,913) of changes in estimates relating to fund and class-level expenses recorded prior to the adoption of the Administrative Agreement.

Distribution Service Agreement. Under the Distribution Service Agreement, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, Scudder Distributors, Inc., ("SDI"), a subsidiary of the Advisor, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.75% of average daily net assets of Class B and C shares. Pursuant to the agreement, SDI enters into related selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of Class B and C shares. For the year ended October 31, 2002, the Distribution Fee was as follows:

Distribution Fee
Total Aggregated
Unpaid at October 31, 2002
Class B
$ 1,977,082 $ 117,522
Class C
416,298 26,654

$ 2,393,380

$ 144,176


In addition, SDI provides information and administrative services ("Service Fee") to Class A, B and C shareholders at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets for each such class. SDI in turn has various agreements with financial services firms that provide these services and pays these fees based upon the assets of shareholder accounts the firms service. For the year ended October 31, 2002, the Service Fee was as follows:

Service Fee
Total Aggregated
Unpaid at October 31, 2002
Effective Rate
Class A
$ 808,790 $ 54,905 0.21%
Class B
637,646 41,611 0.24%
Class C
135,488 8,598 0.24%

$ 1,581,924

$ 105,114


Underwriting Agreement and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. SDI is the principal underwriter for Class A, B and C shares. Underwriting commissions paid in connection with the distribution of the Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2002, aggregated $40,703.

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 shares redeemed. For the year ended October 31, 2002, the CDSC for Class B and C shares aggregated $886,476 and $4,641, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up to 1% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares. For the year ended October 31, 2002, SDI received $746.

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

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"), formerly Zurich Scudder Cash Management 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. Distributions from the QP Trust to the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2002, totaled $204,345 and are reflected as interest income on the Statement of Operations.

D. Expense Off-Set Arrangement

The Fund has entered into an arrangement with its custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the Fund's custodian expenses. During the year ended October 31, 2002, pursuant to the Administrative Agreement, the Administrative Fee was reduced by $397 for custodian credits earned.

E. Line of Credit

The Fund and several other affiliated funds (the ``Participants'') share in a $1.3 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 are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, pro rata based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors


To the Trustees and Shareholders of Scudder Blue Chip Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, of the Scudder Blue Chip Fund (the "Fund"), as of October 31, 2002, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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

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