Notes to Performance Summary


* Class I commenced operations on November 22, 1995. Index returns begin November 30, 1995.
** Class I shares are not subject to sales charges.
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. Any 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 contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), which is 4% within the first year after purchase, declining to 0% after six years. Returns for Class C reflect an initial sales charge of 1%. Redemptions on Class C shares within one year of purchase may be subject to a CDSC of 1%. The difference in expenses will affect performance.
+ The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged price-only index of the 1,000 largest capitalization companies that are domiciled in the United States and whose common stocks are traded there. Beginning with the next report, the Russell 1000 Index, which better reflects the Portfolio's investment style, will be shown instead of the S&P 500 Index.
++ The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.
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.

In the following interview, Portfolio Managers Janet Campagna and Robert Wang discuss the market environment for blue chip stocks and the fund's strategy for its most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2003.

Q: Can you discuss the general market environment during the period?

A: During the past 12 months, major events that affected the economy and markets included the buildup to war in Iraq and its aftermath, the falling US dollar, and the Federal Reserve's (the Fed) strong monetary program. Through its policies, the Fed has been attempting to restart the US economy and to stave off inflation as well as deflation. Stocks enjoyed strong performance during most of the period. In particular, investors bid up technology stocks in a fashion not seen for several years. Sometimes the purchases were based on sound fundamentals, though at other times it seemed investors were simply bargain hunting, buying up tech stocks only because their prices were beaten down. Overall, we believe stocks - including blue chip stocks - were a "place to be" during the period.

Q: Will you describe the portfolio team's investment philosophy?

A: We use a quantitatively based, disciplined stock selection methodology, incorporating a large number of data inputs. Unlike managers of other quantitatively based funds, we also employ the experienced judgment of everyone on the portfolio team. Using our methodology, we believe we can evaluate a much larger pool of stocks in a more objective manner compared with similar funds. We also tend to hold more stocks in our portfolio than traditional managers do. We believe that it's difficult to make objective judgments about stocks based on type of industry, market capitalization and investment style, so we don't select stocks using those factors. By investing in a large number of stocks, but with smaller positions relative to the benchmark based on various fundamental characteristics, we believe that we can achieve significant outperformance over time relative to the benchmark.

Q: How did Scudder Blue Chip Fund perform over its most recent fiscal year?

A: The fund (Class A shares, unadjusted for sales charge) posted a 17.96% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2003.1 (Please see pages 3 through 5 for performance of other share classes.) This return was lower than the 22.32% total return of the fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, which is not available for investment.2 The fund outperformed the 17.78% average return of its peers in the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds category.3 As of October 31, 2003, the fund's class A shares ranked 486, 416, 265 and 144 out of 1065, 831, 596 and 208 in the Large-Cap Core Funds category for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods respectively.4

1 Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions.
2 The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest US companies based on total market capitalization. The Russell 1000 Index represents approximately 92% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index.
3 The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds category is a group of funds that may primarily invest in large companies of both growth and value orientations. It is not possible to invest directly in the Lipper category.
4 Source: Lipper Inc. Rankings are historical and do not guarantee future results. Lipper rankings are based on the fund's total return unadjusted for sales charges with distributions reinvested. If sales charges had been included, rankings might have been less favorable.

Q: What factors contributed to the fund's performance?

A: As for the role of the managers, all of our contribution to return comes from stock selection. The fund remains neutral to the various industry weightings within its benchmark. The largest contributor to fund returns over the period was the commercial services and supplies sector, where the fund exhibited excellent stock selection. Within commercial services and supplies, Rent-A-Center, Inc., a US operator in the rent-to-own industry, was the largest contributor to performance. Based on its attractive value relative to its peers, we took a significant overweight position in this stock. (As one means of managing the fund's risk levels, however, we seek to be at all times no more than 2% overweight in any security relative to the benchmark.) Over the past 12 months, Rent-A-Center beat analysts' earnings forecasts consistently. We sold our position when the most recent earnings declaration disappointed, after which the stock's run-up ended.

In a sharp turnaround from the fall of 2002, technology hardware and equipment issues also boosted the fund's performance. There, we saw results that we like to see from our investment model - namely, that the sector's outperformance compared with the benchmark was spread across several companies. Semiconductor manufacturer Intel Corporation - which enjoyed a successful 12 months - was the fund's number one performing stock overall and the top performer within this sector during the period.

The largest detractor from performance in terms of sectors was health care equipment and services. Losses within this sector were mainly driven by one holding, Tenet Healthcare, a health care services company. Amid allegations of unnecessary surgical procedures and fraudulent billings, as well as the departure of its CEO and a lawsuit filed by the US Department of Justice, the company's stock plummeted. We sold Tenet as this news came to light, but not before sustaining some losses.

Q: What caused the fund's underperformance compared with its benchmark?

A: Overall, the fund outperformed its benchmark during much of the past 12-month period. But during November 2002, the fund's underperformance was especially significant. As we mentioned above, in certain months during the period - including November and July - investors were mainly snapping up heavily discounted stocks on strong economic or political news and ignoring the fundamental characteristics of individual companies. These periods make it difficult for the factors within our investment model - including various signals that we use to determine positive or negative price momentum in stocks - to discriminate successfully and identify worthwhile stocks to own. And these are the periods in which the fund underperformed its benchmark. However, we are encouraged by the market's return to more fundamentally based behavior from August through the end of the period. We are hopeful that in the coming months investors will continue to judge individual companies on their merits and earning potential.

How the fund is managed

Investment Discipline

The fund's portfolio managers rely on a proprietary, quantitative screening process to identify attractively valued stocks with above-average capital appreciation potential from the fund's potential investment universe of approximately 1,000 blue chip companies. Blue chip companies are large, well-known companies that typically have an established earnings and dividend history, easy access to credit, solid positions in their industry and strong management. In employing our processes, four primary dimensions are considered: valuation, trends in earnings, price momentum and risk. Valuation helps the fund's managers measure how expensive or inexpensive a security is relative to the overall small-cap universe. Earnings trends suggest whether the company's fundamentals are stable, improving or deteriorating. Price momentum provides an indicator of how the market is responding to these fundamentals. Risk measures help management understand the degree of financial uncertainty for a given company. Each stock is then ranked based on its relative attractiveness across all dimensions.

Portfolio Construction

Management builds a diversified portfolio of attractively rated companies, seeking stocks that are undervalued relative to their industry peers but whose earnings growth prospects are greater than those of their industry peers. To manage individual security risk and provide trading flexibility, approximately 120 blue-chip stocks are held in the portfolio. On an ongoing basis, a portfolio optimization program is used to determine which securities should be replaced due to diminishing return prospects, while managing the overall risk of the portfolio vs. the benchmark index.


Q: What economic and market trends are you detecting at present?

A: We believe that US economic recovery has begun. Third-quarter economic statistics - as well as predictions for the fourth quarter - appear to reflect an improvement. We believe Fed policy has been largely responsible for this. At the same time, we have yet to see dramatic labor hiring or significant increases in corporate spending, and we await signs of a stronger economic rebound. In terms of the financial markets, events over the past 12 months - especially in late 2002 - spurred significant market volatility. Recently, volatility has subsided within the large-cap sector. Going forward, we will continue to employ a disciplined investment approach that seeks to invest in companies that exhibit strong growth and value characteristics relative to their appropriate peer groups. Our portfolio team will continue to seek attractive value by paying particular attention to the quality of the earnings of the companies in which we invest. We believe that Scudder Blue Chip Fund remains an attractive vehicle for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation.

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 to investors subject to an initial sales charge and are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within one year of purchase. Prior to February 3, 2003, Class C shares were offered without an initial sales charge. 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.

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, 2003 the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $178,647,000 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), October 31, 2010 ($56,710,000) and October 31, 2011 ($2,916,000), 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, 2003, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*
$ 34,667
Undistributed net long-term capital gains
$ -
Capital loss carryforwards
$ (178,647,000)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments
$ 71,748,271

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

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 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 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, 2003, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term instruments) aggregated $963,838,220 and $1,031,712,313, respectively.

C. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"), 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, 2003, 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 for the period November 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002.

Effective January 1, 2003, the Trustees approved new Administrative Fee rates of 0.43%, 0.445%, 0.44% and 0.16% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B, C and I shares, respectively, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly.

For the period November 1, 2002 to September 30, 2003, the Administrative Fee was as follows:

Administrative Fee
Total Aggregated
Class A
$ 1,144,845
Class B
703,183
Class C
166,228
Class I
1,705

$ 2,015,961


The Administrative Agreement between the Advisor and the Fund terminated effective September 30, 2003 and the Fund will directly bear the cost of those expenses formerly covered under the Administrative Agreement.

Effective October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2005, the Advisor has agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses of each class at 0.99%, 1.01%, 1.00% and 0.725% of average daily net assets for Class A, B, C and I shares, respectively (excluding certain expenses such as Rule 12b-1 and/or service fees, trustee and trustee counsel fees, extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage and interest).

Service Provider Fees.

Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the Fund's transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by SISC, not by the Fund. For the period October 1, 2003 through October 31, 2003, the amount charged to the Fund by SISC aggregated $176,253, all of which is unpaid at October 31, 2003.

Prior to September 30, 2003, the fees outlined above were paid by the Advisor in accordance with 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, 2003, the Distribution Fee was as follows:

Distribution Fee
Total Aggregated
Unpaid at October 31, 2003
Class B
$ 1,335,929 $ 106,800
Class C
324,373 29,165

$ 1,660,302

$ 135,965


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, 2003, the Service Fee was as follows:

Service Fee

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 Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2003 aggregated $28,150.

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, 2003, the CDSC for Class B and C shares aggregated $480,965 and $1,533, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up to 1% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares. For the year ended October 31, 2003, SDI received $305.

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") 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.

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 are used to reduce a portion of the Fund's custodian expenses. During the year ended October 31, 2003, pursuant to the Administrative Agreement, no custodian credits were earned.

E. Line of Credit

The Fund 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 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.

ITEM 2.         CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period, October 31, 2003, the Scudder Blue Chip Fund has
adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, that applies to
its President and Treasurer and its Chief Financial Officer. A copy of the code
of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.

ITEM 3.         AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.


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

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

ITEM 4.         PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

                        Not currently applicable.

ITEM 5.         [RESERVED]

ITEM 6.         [RESERVED]

ITEM 7.         DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR
                CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

ITEM 8.         [RESERVED]

ITEM 9.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


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

(b)During the filing period of the report, management identified issues relating
to the overall fund expense payment and accrual process. Management discussed
these matters with the Registrant's Audit Committee and auditors, instituted
additional procedures to enhance its internal controls and will continue to
develop additional controls and redesign work flow to strengthen the overall
control environment associated with the processing and recording of fund
expenses.

ITEM 10.        EXHIBITS.

(a)(1)   Code of Ethics  pursuant to Item 2 of Form N-CSR is filed and  attached
         hereto as EX-99.CODE ETH.
