A Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich"), which is the majority owner of your Fund's investment manager, Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. ("Scudder Kemper"), has combined its businesses with the financial services businesses of B.A.T Industries p.l.c. ("B.A.T"). The resulting company, Zurich Financial Services ("Zurich Financial Services"), has become Zurich's parent company. Although this transaction will have virtually no effect on the operations of Scudder Kemper or your Fund, we are asking the Fund's shareholders to approve a new investment management agreement to assure that there is no interruption in the services Scudder Kemper provides to your Fund. The following pages give you additional information about Zurich Financial Services, the new investment management agreement and certain other matters. THE BOARD MEMBERS OF YOUR FUND, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE FUND, SCUDDER KEMPER OR ZURICH, RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Q WHY AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT? A As a result of the Zurich-B.A.T transaction, the former shareholders of B.A.T indirectly own a 43% interest in Zurich through a new holding company, Allied Zurich p.l.c. This change in ownership of Zurich may be deemed to have caused a "change in control" of Scudder Kemper, even though Scudder Kemper's operations will not change as a result. The Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates investment companies such as your Fund, requires that fund shareholders approve a new investment management agreement whenever there is a change in control of a fund's investment manager (even in the most technical sense). Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, your Fund entered into a new investment management agreement, subject to receipt of shareholder approval within 150 days. Accordingly, we are seeking shareholder approval of the new investment management agreement with your Fund. Q HOW WILL THE ZURICH-B.A.T TRANSACTION AFFECT ME AS A FUND SHAREHOLDER? A We do not expect the transaction to affect you as a Fund shareholder. Your Fund and your Fund's investment objectives will not change as a result of the transaction. You will still own the same shares in the same Fund. The new investment management agreement is substantially identical to the former investment management agreement, except for the dates of execution and termination. Similarly, the other service arrangements between your Fund and Scudder Kemper or affiliates of Scudder Kemper will not be affected by the transaction. If shareholders do not approve the new investment management agreement, the agreement will terminate and the Board Members of your Fund will take such action as they deem to be in the best interests of your Fund and its shareholders. KEMPER LOGO KEMPER LOGO 3 Q WILL THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES INCREASE? A No, the investment management fee rates paid by your Fund will remain the same. Q WHAT OTHER MATTERS AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON? A Shareholders of certain Funds are being asked to vote for approval of a new sub-advisory agreement on the same terms as the former sub-advisory agreement. In addition, in order to save your Fund the expense of a subsequent meeting, a vote is also being sought for the modification or elimination of certain policies and the elimination of the shareholder approval requirement as to certain other matters, in order to simplify and modernize matters relating to the Fund's policies and objective(s). Q HOW DO THE BOARD MEMBERS OF MY FUND RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE? A After careful consideration, the Board Members of your Fund, including those who are not affiliated with the Fund, Scudder Kemper or Zurich, recommend that you vote FOR the Proposals on the enclosed proxy card(s). Q WILL THE FUND PAY FOR THIS PROXY SOLICITATION? A No, Zurich or its affiliates will bear these costs. Q WHOM DO I CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION? A Please call Shareholder Communications Corporation, your Fund's information agent, at (800) 248-2116.

The resulting company, Zurich Financial Services, has become the parent company of Zurich and the majority owner of Scudder Kemper. As a result of this transaction, we are asking the shareholders of each of the funds for which Scudder Kemper acts as investment manager, including your Fund, to approve a new investment management agreement with Scudder Kemper. The Zurich-B.A.T transaction should not affect you as a Fund shareholder. Your Fund shares will not change, the advisory fee rates and expenses paid by your Fund will not increase and the investment objectives of your Fund will remain the same. Shareholders are also being asked to approve certain other matters that have been set forth in the Notice of Meetings. AFTER CAREFUL REVIEW, THE MEMBERS OF YOUR FUND'S BOARD HAVE APPROVED THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. THE BOARD MEMBERS OF YOUR FUND BELIEVE THAT EACH OF THE PROPOSALS SET FORTH IN THE NOTICE OF MEETINGS FOR YOUR FUND IS IMPORTANT AND RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THE ENCLOSED MATERIALS CAREFULLY AND THEN VOTE FOR ALL PROPOSALS. 5 Because all of the funds for which Scudder Kemper acts as investment manager are holding shareholder meetings, if you own shares of more than one fund, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please sign and return each proxy card you receive. Your vote is important. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT NOW TO SIGN AND RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD(S) IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID RETURN ENVELOPE. If we do not receive your executed proxy card(s) after a reasonable amount of time, you may receive a telephone call from our proxy solicitor, Shareholder Communications Corporation, reminding you to vote.

("Scudder Kemper"), 13th Floor, Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, on December 17, 1998 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, and at any and all adjournments thereof (the "Special Meeting"). In the descriptions of the Proposals below, the Trusts/Corporations and Funds are referred to by the acronyms listed in Appendix 1. The word "fund" is sometimes used to mean investment companies or series thereof in general, and not the Funds whose proxy statement this is. In addition, in this Proxy Statement, for simplicity, actions are described as being taken by a Fund that is a series of a Trust or Corporation, although all actions are actually taken by the respective Trust or Corporation on behalf of the applicable series. This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Special Meetings and the proxy cards are first being mailed to shareholders on or about October 26, 1998 or as soon as practicable thereafter. Any shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it by mail (addressed to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Funds, c/o Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc., at the address for each Fund 9 shown at the beginning of this Proxy Statement) or in person at the Special Meeting, by executing a superseding proxy or by submitting a notice of revocation to the Fund. All properly executed proxies received in time for the Special Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy or, if no specification is made, in favor of the Proposals referred to in the Proxy Statement. The presence at any shareholders' meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of 30%, in the case of each Fund other than those Funds in KVS, or one-third, in the case of each Fund in KVS, of the shares of a Fund entitled to be cast shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the event that the necessary quorum to transact business or the vote required to approve any Proposal is not obtained at the Special Meeting with respect to one or more Funds, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting in accordance with applicable law to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the Proposal that did not receive the vote necessary for its passage or to obtain a quorum. Any such adjournment as to a matter will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the concerned Fund's shares present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of that Proposal and will vote against any such adjournment those proxies to be voted against that Proposal. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at a Special Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes" will be treated as shares that are present but which have not been voted. Broker non-votes are proxies received by a Fund from brokers or nominees when the broker or nominee has neither received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote nor has discretionary power to vote on a particular matter. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to forward their voting instructions promptly. Each Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of a Fund. The term "majority of the outstanding voting securities," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and as used in this Proxy Statement, means: the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1) 67% of the voting securities of each Fund present at the meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present in person or by proxy or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of each Fund. Abstentions will have the effect of a "no" vote on each Proposal. Broker non-votes will have the effect of a "no" vote on each Proposal, each of which requires the approval of a specified percentage of the outstanding shares of each Fund, if such vote is determined on the basis of obtaining the affirmative vote of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Broker non-votes will not constitute "yes" or "no" votes, and will be disregarded in determining the voting securities "present" if such vote is determined on the basis of the affirmative vote of 67% of the voting securities of the Fund present at the Special Meeting with respect to each Proposal. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately with respect to each Proposal. Holders of record of the shares of each Fund at the close of business on September 22, 1998 (the "Record Date"), as to any matter on which they are entitled to vote, will be entitled to one vote per share on all business of the Special Meeting. The table provided in Appendix 2 hereto sets forth the number of shares outstanding for each Fund as of June 30, 1998. Appendix 3 sets forth the beneficial owners of at least 5% of a Fund's shares. To the best of each Trust's/Corporation's knowledge, as of June 30, 1998, no person owned beneficially more than 5% of any Fund's outstanding shares, except as stated in Appendix 3. Appendix 4 hereto sets forth the number of shares of each Fund owned directly or beneficially by the Trustees/Directors of the relevant Board. Each Fund provides periodic reports to all of its shareholders which highlight relevant information, including investment results and a review of portfolio changes. You may receive an additional copy of the most recent annual report for each Fund and a copy of any more recent semi-annual report, without charge, by calling 800-621-1048 or writing the Fund, c/o Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc., at the address for each Fund shown at the beginning of this Proxy Statement. 2 10 TABLE OF PROPOSALS

4 12 PROPOSAL 1: APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT INTRODUCTION Scudder Kemper acts as the investment manager to each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement entered into by each Fund and Scudder Kemper. The investment management agreement in effect between each Fund and Scudder Kemper prior to the consummation of the transaction between Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich") and B.A.T Industries p.l.c. ("B.A.T") (the "Zurich-B.A.T Transaction" or the "Transaction"), which is described below, is referred to in this Proxy Statement as a "Former Investment Management Agreement," collectively, the "Former Investment Management Agreements." The investment management agreement currently in effect between each Fund and Scudder Kemper, which is also described below, was executed as of the consummation of the Zurich-B.A.T Transaction and is referred to in this Proxy Statement as a "New Investment Management Agreement," collectively, the "New Investment Management Agreements" and, together with the Former Investment Management Agreements, the "Investment Management Agreements." (Scudder Kemper is sometimes referred to in this Proxy Statement as the "Investment Manager.") The information set forth in this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials concerning the Transaction, Scudder Kemper, Zurich, B.A.T and their respective affiliates has been provided to the Funds by Scudder Kemper based upon information that Scudder Kemper received from Zurich and its affiliates. On June 26, 1997, Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. ("Scudder") entered into an agreement with Zurich pursuant to which Scudder and Zurich agreed to form an alliance. On December 31, 1997, Zurich acquired a majority interest in Scudder, and Zurich Kemper Investments, Inc. ("Kemper"), a Zurich subsidiary, became part of Scudder. Scudder's name was changed to Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. The transaction between Scudder and Zurich (the "Scudder-Zurich Transaction") resulted in the termination of each Fund's investment management agreement with Kemper. Consequently, the Former Investment Management Agreement between each Fund and Scudder Kemper was approved by each Trust's/Corporation's Board and by each Fund's shareholders. The Zurich-B.A.T Transaction. On December 22, 1997, Zurich and B.A.T entered into a definitive agreement (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which businesses of Zurich (including Zurich's almost 70% ownership interest in Scudder Kemper) were to be combined with the financial services businesses of B.A.T. On October 12, 1997, Zurich and B.A.T had confirmed that they were engaged in discussions concerning a possible business combination; on October 16, 1997, Zurich and B.A.T announced that they had entered into an Agreement in Principle, dated as of October 15, 1997 (the "Agreement in Principle"), to merge B.A.T's financial services businesses with Zurich's businesses. The Merger Agreement superseded the Agreement in Principle. In order to effect this combination, Zurich and B.A.T first reorganized their respective operations. Zurich became a subsidiary of a new Swiss holding company, Zurich Allied AG, and Zurich shareholders became Zurich Allied AG shareholders. At the same time, B.A.T separated its financial services business from its tobacco-related businesses by spinning off to its shareholders a new British company, Allied Zurich p.l.c., 22 Arlington Street, London, England, SW1A 1RW, United Kingdom, which held B.A.T's financial services businesses. Zurich Allied AG then contributed its interest in Zurich, and Allied Zurich p.l.c. contributed the B.A.T financial services businesses, to a jointly owned company, Zurich Financial Services ("Zurich Financial Services"), in each case in exchange for shares of Zurich Financial Services. These transactions were completed on September 7, 1998. As a result, upon the completion of the Transaction, the former Zurich shareholders became the owners (through Zurich Allied AG) of 57% of the voting stock of Zurich Financial Services, and former B.A.T shareholders initially became the 5 13 owners (through Allied Zurich p.l.c.) of 43% of the voting stock of Zurich Financial Services. Zurich Financial Services now owns Zurich and the financial services businesses previously owned by B.A.T. Below is a simplified chart showing the corporate structure of Zurich Financial Services after these transactions: [ZURICH FINANCIAL SERVICES FLOW CHART] Corporate Governance. At the closing of the Zurich-B.A.T Transaction, the parties entered into a Governing Agreement that establishes the corporate governance structure for Zurich Allied AG, Allied Zurich p.l.c. and Zurich Financial Services. The Board of Directors of Zurich Financial Services consists of ten members, five of whom were initially selected by Zurich and five by B.A.T. Mr. Rolf Huppi, Zurich's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, became Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zurich Financial Services. In addition to his vote by virtue of his position on the Board of Directors, as Chairman, Mr. Huppi will have a tie-breaking vote on all matters except recommendations of the Audit Committee, recommendations of the Remuneration Committee in respect of the remuneration of the Chairman and the CEO, appointment and removal of the Chairman and CEO, appointments to the Nominations, Audit and 6 Remuneration Committees and nominations to the Board of Directors not made through the Nominations Committee. 7 14 The Group Management Board of Zurich Financial Services has been given responsibility by the Board of Directors for the executive management of Zurich Financial Services and has wide authority for such purpose. Of the 11 initial members of the Group Management Board, eight were members of the Corporate Executive Board of Zurich (including Mr. Edmond D. Villani, CEO of Scudder Kemper, who is responsible for Global Asset Management for Zurich Financial Services), and three were B.A.T executives. The Board of Directors of Zurich Allied AG initially consists of 11 members, eight of whom were Zurich directors and three of whom were proposed by B.A.T. The Board of Directors of Allied Zurich p.l.c. also initially consists of 11 members, eight of whom were B.A.T directors and three of whom were proposed by Zurich. The parties have agreed that, as soon as possible, the Boards of Directors of Zurich Financial Services, Zurich Allied AG and Allied Zurich p.l.c. will have identical membership. Shareholder resolutions of Zurich Financial Services in general require approval by at least 58% of all shares outstanding. The Governing Agreement also contains provisions relating to dividend equalization and provisions intended to ensure equal treatment of Zurich Allied AG and Allied Zurich p.l.c. shareholders in the event of a takeover bid for either company. The B.A.T financial services businesses, which, since the closing of the Transaction, are owned by Zurich Financial Services, include: the Farmers Group of Insurance companies; Eagle Star Reinsurance Company Ltd., UK ("Eagle Star") (which Zurich Financial Services has agreed to sell to GE Capital); Allied-Dunbar, one of the leading U.K. unit-linked life insurance and pensions companies; and Threadneedle Asset Management, which was formed initially to manage the investment assets of Eagle Star and Allied-Dunbar, and which, at December 31, 1997, had $58.8 billion under management. Overall, at year-end 1997, the financial services businesses of B.A.T had $79 billion in assets under management, including $18 billion in third party assets. Zurich has informed the Funds that the financial services businesses of B.A.T do not include any of B.A.T's tobacco businesses and that, after careful review, Zurich has concluded that the tobacco-related liabilities connected with B.A.T's tobacco business should not adversely affect Zurich or the present Zurich subsidiaries, including Scudder Kemper. Governance arrangements that were put in place at the time of the acquisition of Zurich's 70% interest in Scudder Kemper (which are discussed below under "Investment Manager") remain unaffected by the Transaction. These arrangements preclude the making of certain major decisions affecting Scudder Kemper without the approval of Scudder Kemper directors elected by the non- Zurich shareholders of Scudder Kemper. Consummation of the Zurich-B.A.T Transaction may be deemed to have constituted an "assignment," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, of each Fund's Former Investment Management Agreement with Scudder Kemper. As required by the 1940 Act, each of the Former Investment Management Agreements provided for its automatic termination in the event of its assignment. Accordingly, a New Investment Management Agreement between each Fund and Scudder Kemper was approved by the Board members of each Fund and is now being proposed for approval by shareholders of each Fund. Scudder Kemper has received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the "Commission") permitting each Fund to obtain shareholder approval of its New Investment Management Agreement within 150 days after the consummation of the Transaction, which occurred on September 7, 1998 (and, consequently, within 150 days after the termination of its Former Investment Management Agreement), instead of before the consummation of the Transaction. Pursuant to the exemptive order, each Fund's investment management fees are being held in escrow until the earlier of shareholder approval of the Fund's New Investment Management Agreement or the expiration of the 150 day period. A copy of the master form of New Investment Management Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT FOR EACH FUND IS SUBSTANTIALLY IDENTICAL TO THE CORRE- 7 15 SPONDING FORMER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR THE DATES OF EXECUTION AND TERMINATION. In addition, the Boards were advised that the portfolio managers for each Fund will not change as a result of the Transaction, although, since the announcement of the Transaction, the lead portfolio manager of KGIF has been replaced by another member of the Fund's portfolio management team. The material terms of the Investment Management Agreements are described under "Description of the Investment Management Agreements" below. BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION On either July 17, 1998 or July 21, 1998, the Board of each Trust/Corporation met and the Board members of each Trust/Corporation, including the Board members who are not parties to such agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) (the "Non-Interested Trustees/ Directors" or "Non-Interested Board members") of any such party, voted to approve the New Investment Management Agreements and to recommend approval to the shareholders of each applicable Fund. For information about the Boards' deliberations and the reasons for their recommendation, please see "Board's Evaluation" below. BOARD'S EVALUATION Each Board met on either July 17, 1998 or July 21, 1998 to consider the Transaction and its effects on the Funds. Each Board met with senior management personnel of Scudder Kemper. Each Board had the assistance of legal counsel, who prepared among other things, an analysis of the Board's fiduciary obligations. As a result of its review and consideration of the Transaction and the proposed new investment management agreement, each Board voted unanimously to approve the applicable New Investment Management Agreement and to recommend it to the shareholders of the respective Fund for their approval. In connection with its review, Scudder Kemper represented to each Board that: the Transaction will have no effect on the operational management of any Fund; the Transaction will not result in any change in the management or operations of Scudder Kemper; there will not be any increase in the advisory fee or any change in any other provision, other than the term, of any Investment Management Agreement as a result of the Transaction; the Transaction will not adversely affect Scudder Kemper's financial condition; and the Transaction should expand Scudder Kemper's global asset management capabilities and enhance Scudder Kemper's research capabilities, particularly with respect to the United Kingdom and Europe. In connection with its deliberations, each Board obtained certain assurances from Zurich, including the following: - Zurich has provided to the Board such information as is reasonably necessary to evaluate the New Investment Management and other agreements. - Zurich looks upon Scudder Kemper as the core of Zurich's global asset management strategy. With that focus, Zurich will devote to Scudder Kemper and its affairs all attention and resources that are necessary to provide for the Funds top quality investment management, shareholder, administrative and product distribution services. - The Transaction will not result in any change in any Fund's investment objectives or policies. - The Transaction will not result in any change in the management or operations of Scudder Kemper or its subsidiaries. - The Transaction is not expected to result in any adverse change in the investment management or operations of any Fund; and Zurich neither plans nor proposes, for the foreseeable future, to make any material change in the manner in which investment advisory services or other 8 16 services are rendered to any Fund which has the potential to have a material adverse effect upon the Fund. - Zurich is committed to the continuance, without interruption, of services to the Funds of the type and quality currently provided by Scudder Kemper and its subsidiaries, or superior thereto. - Zurich plans to maintain or enhance Scudder Kemper's facilities and organization. - In order to retain and attract key personnel, Zurich intends for Scudder Kemper to maintain overall compensation policies and practices at market levels or better. - Zurich intends to maintain the distinct brand identity of the Kemper and Scudder Funds and is committed to strengthening and enhancing both brands and the distribution channels for both families of Funds, while maintaining their separate brand identity. - Zurich will promptly advise the Boards of decisions materially affecting the Scudder Kemper organization as they relate to a Fund. Neither this, nor any of the other above commitments will be altered by Zurich without the applicable Board's prior consideration. Zurich assured the Boards that it intends to comply with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, which provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser to an investment company or any of the investment adviser's affiliated persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a change in control of the investment adviser so long as two conditions are met. First, for a period of three years after the transaction, at least 75% of the board members of the investment company must not be "interested persons" of the investment company's investment adviser or its predecessor adviser. On or prior to the consummation of the Transaction, each of the Boards was in compliance with this provision of Section 15(f). Second, an "unfair burden" must not be imposed upon the investment company as a result of such transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term "unfair burden" is defined in Section 15(f) to include any arrangement during the two-year period after the transaction whereby the investment adviser, or any interested person of any such adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its shareholders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for such investment company). Zurich has advised the Boards that it is not aware of any express or implied term, condition, arrangement or understanding that would impose an "unfair burden" on the Funds as a result of the Transaction. Zurich has agreed that it, and its affiliates, will take no action that would have the effect of imposing an "unfair burden" on the Funds as a result of the Transaction. In furtherance thereof, Zurich has undertaken to pay the costs of preparing and distributing proxy materials to and of holding the meetings of the Funds' shareholders as well as other fees and expenses in connection with the Transaction, including the fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Funds and the Non-Interested Board members. The Board also considered whether tobacco-related liability connected with B.A.T's tobacco business could adversely affect the Adviser and the services provided to the Fund. (See "Corporate Governance" in the "Introduction" above.) In evaluating the New Investment Management Agreements, each Board took into account that the fees and expenses payable by each Fund under its New Investment Management Agreement are the same as under its Former Investment Management Agreement, that the services provided to each Fund are the same and that the other terms are, except for the dates of execution and termination, substantially similar. The Boards also took into consideration that the portfolio managers and research personnel would continue their functions with Scudder Kemper after the Transaction. The Boards noted that, in previously approving the Former Investment Management Agreements, the Boards had considered a number of factors, including the nature and quality of services provided by Scudder 9 17 Kemper; investment performance, both that of each Fund itself and relative to that of competitive investment companies; investment management fees and expense ratios of each Fund and competitive investment companies; Scudder Kemper's profitability from managing each Fund; fall-out benefits to Scudder Kemper from its relationship to each Fund, including revenues derived from services provided to the Fund by affiliates of Scudder Kemper; and the potential benefits to Scudder Kemper and to each Fund and its shareholders of receiving research services from broker/dealer firms in connection with the allocation of portfolio transactions to such firms. The Boards discussed the Transaction with the senior management of Scudder Kemper and Zurich and among themselves. The Boards considered that Zurich is a large, well-established company with substantial resources, and, as noted above, has undertaken to devote such resources to Scudder Kemper as are necessary to provide the Funds with top quality services. As a result of their review and consideration of the Transaction and the New Investment Management Agreements, at their meetings the Boards of each Trust/Corporation voted to approve the New Investment Management Agreements and to recommend their approval to the shareholders of each Fund. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS Except as disclosed below, all Former and New Investment Management Agreements are substantially identical. Under the Investment Management Agreements, Scudder Kemper provides each Fund with continuing investment management services. The Investment Manager also determines which securities should be purchased, held, or sold, and what portion of each Fund's assets should be held uninvested, subject to each Trust's/Corporation's Charter, By-Laws, investment policies and restrictions, the provisions of the 1940 Act, and such policies and instructions as the Trustees/Directors may have determined. Each Investment Management Agreement provides that the Investment Manager will provide portfolio management services, place portfolio transactions in accordance with policies expressed in each Fund's registration statement, pay each Fund's office rent, and render significant administrative services on behalf of each Fund (not otherwise provided by third parties) necessary for each Fund's operating as an open-end investment company, including, but not limited to, preparing reports to and meeting materials for each Trust's/Corporation's Board and reports and notices to Fund shareholders; supervising, negotiating contractual arrangements with, to the extent appropriate, and monitoring the performance of various third-party and affiliated service providers to each Fund (such as each Fund's transfer and pricing agents, fund accounting agent, custodian, accountants and others) and other persons in any capacity deemed necessary or desirable to Fund operations; preparing and making filings with the SEC and other regulatory and self-regulatory organizations, including but not limited to, preliminary and definitive proxy materials, post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, semi-annual reports on Form N-SAR and notices pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the 1940 Act; overseeing the tabulation of proxies by each Fund's transfer agent; assisting in the preparation and filing of each Fund's federal, state and local tax returns; preparing and filing each Fund's federal excise tax returns pursuant to Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; providing assistance with investor and public relations matters; monitoring the valuation of portfolio securities and the calculation of net asset value; monitoring the registration of shares of each Fund under applicable federal and state securities laws; maintaining or causing to be maintained for each Fund all books, records and reports and any other information required under the 1940 Act, to the extent such books, records and reports and other information are not maintained by each Fund's custodian or other agents of each Fund; assisting in establishing accounting policies of each Fund; assisting in the resolution of accounting issues that may arise with respect to each Fund's operations and consulting with each Fund's independent accountants, legal counsel and other agents as necessary in connection therewith; establishing and monitoring each Fund's operating expense budgets; reviewing each Fund's bills; processing the payment of bills that have been approved by an authorized person; assisting each Fund in determining the amount of dividends and distributions available to be paid by 10 18 each Fund to its shareholders, preparing and arranging for the printing of dividend notices to shareholders, and providing the transfer and dividend paying agent, the custodian, and the accounting agent with such information as is required for such parties to effect the payment of dividends and distributions; and otherwise assisting each Fund in the conduct of its business, subject to the direction and control of each Trust's/Corporation's Board. Under each Investment Management Agreement, each Fund is responsible for other expenses, including organizational expenses (including out-of-pocket expenses, but not including the Investment Manager's overhead or employee costs); brokers' commissions or other costs of acquiring or disposing of any portfolio securities of each Fund; legal, auditing and accounting expenses; payment for portfolio pricing or valuation services to pricing agents, accountants, bankers and other specialists, if any; taxes and governmental fees; the fees and expenses of each Fund's transfer agent; expenses of preparing share certificates and any other expenses, including clerical expenses, of issuance, offering, distribution, sale, redemption or repurchase of shares; the expenses of and fees for registering or qualifying securities for sale; the fees and expenses of Non-Interested Trustees/Directors; the cost of printing and distributing reports, notices and dividends to current shareholders; and the fees and expenses of each Fund's custodians, subcustodians, accounting agent, dividend disbursing agents and registrars. Each Fund may arrange to have third parties assume all or part of the expenses of sale, underwriting and distribution of shares of each Fund. Each Fund is also responsible for expenses of shareholders' and other meetings and its expenses incurred in connection with litigation and the legal obligation it may have to indemnify officers and Trustees/Directors of each Trust/Corporation with respect thereto. Each Fund is also responsible for the maintenance of books and records which are required to be maintained by each Fund's custodian or other agents of each Trust/Corporation; telephone, telex, facsimile, postage and other communications expenses; any fees, dues and expenses incurred by each Fund in connection with membership in investment company trade organizations; expenses of printing and mailing prospectuses and statements of additional information of each Fund and supplements thereto to current shareholders; costs of stationery; fees payable to the Investment Manager and to any other Fund advisors or consultants; expenses relating to investor and public relations; interest charges, bond premiums and other insurance expense; freight, insurance and other charges in connection with the shipment of each Fund's portfolio securities; and other expenses. The Investment Manager is responsible for the payment of the compensation and expenses of all Trustees/Directors, officers and executive employees of each Fund (including each Fund's share of payroll taxes) affiliated with the Investment Manager and making available, without expense to each Fund, the services of such Trustees/Directors, officers and employees as may duly be elected officers of each Trust/Corporation, subject to their individual consent to serve and to any limitations imposed by law. Each Fund is responsible for the fees and expenses (specifically including travel expenses relating to Fund business) of Trustees/Directors not affiliated with the Investment Manager. Under each Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Manager also pays each Fund's share of payroll taxes. During each Fund's most recent fiscal year, no compensation, direct or otherwise (other than through fees paid to the Investment Manager), was paid or became payable by each Trust/ Corporation to any of its officers or Trustees/Directors who were affiliated with the Investment Manager. In return for the services provided by the Investment Manager as investment manager and the expenses it assumes under each Investment Management Agreement, each Fund (other than KAGGF and KSCF) pays the Investment Manager a management fee which is accrued daily and payable monthly. KSCF and KAGGF each pays a base annual management fee rate of .65% of average daily net assets, subject to upward or downward adjustment on the basis of the investment performance of the Class A Shares of the Fund compared with the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The management fee rate for each Fund under the Investment Management Agreements is set forth in Appendix 5 hereto. As of the end of each Fund's last fiscal year, each Fund had net assets and 11 19 paid an aggregate management fee to the Investment Manager during such period as also set forth in Appendix 5 hereto. The Investment Management Agreement for each of KMBF, KCATF and KGSF provides that the Investment Manager will reimburse the Fund should operating expenses of the Fund exceed on an annual basis the following levels: for KMBF and KGSF, 1% of average daily net assets; and for KCATF, 1.5% of the first $30 million of average daily net assets and 1% of average daily net assets over $30 million. For this purpose, operating expenses include the investment management fee but exclude interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions and transaction costs and distribution fees. The investment management fee and the expense limitation are computed based upon average daily net assets of each series. Each Investment Management Agreement further provides that the Investment Manager shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by any Fund in connection with matters to which such agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Investment Manager in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by the Investment Manager of its obligations and duties under such agreement. Each Investment Management Agreement also provides that purchase and sale opportunities, which are suitable for more than one client of the Investment Manager, will be allocated by the Investment Manager in an equitable manner. Lastly, each Investment Management Agreement contains a provision stating that it supersedes all prior agreements. Each Investment Management Agreement may be terminated without penalty upon sixty (60) days' written notice by either party. Each Fund may agree to terminate its Investment Management Agreement either by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, or by a vote of the Board. Each Investment Management Agreement may also be terminated at any time without penalty by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or by a vote of the Board if a court establishes that the Investment Manager or any of its officers or directors has taken any action resulting in a breach of the Investment Manager's covenants under the Investment Management Agreement. As stated above, each Investment Management Agreement automatically terminates in the event of its assignment. Scudder Kemper or one of its predecessors has acted as the Investment Manager for each Fund as of the date set forth in the table in Appendix 6 hereto. Also shown in Appendix 6 is the date of each Former Investment Management Agreement, the date when each Former Investment Management Agreement was last approved by the shareholders of each Fund, the date when each New Investment Management Agreement was last approved by the Trustees/Directors of each Fund and the date to which each New Investment Management Agreement was last continued. Each Former Investment Management Agreement was last submitted to shareholders (or, in some cases, to a Fund's sole shareholder) prior to its becoming effective, as required by the 1940 Act, in connection with the Scudder-Zurich Transaction. THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS The New Investment Management Agreement for each Fund, which is currently in effect, is dated the date of the consummation of the Transaction, which occurred on September 7, 1998. Each New Investment Management Agreement was to be in effect for an initial term ending on April 1, 1999 for KEUF and for each series of KTEF, KVS, KHF, KGIS, KST and KET and on March 1, 1999 for all other Funds, and to be continued thereafter from year to year only if specifically approved at least annually by the vote of "a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of each Fund, or by the Board and, in either event, the vote of a majority of the Non-Interested Trustees/Directors, cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose. At meetings held on September 18, 1998 and September 22, 1998, the Board of each Fund, including a majority of the Non-Interested Trustees/Directors, approved the continuance of each New Investment Management Agreement through September 30, 1999. In the event that shareholders of a Fund do not approve the New Investment Management Agreement, it 12 20 will terminate. In such event, each Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FORMER AND NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS The New Investment Management Agreements are substantially identical to the Former Investment Management Agreements, except for the dates of execution and termination. INVESTMENT MANAGER Scudder Kemper, an indirect subsidiary of Zurich which resulted from the combination of the businesses of Scudder and Kemper in connection with the Scudder-Zurich Transaction, is one of the largest and most experienced investment counsel firms in the United States. Scudder was established in 1919 as a partnership and was restructured as a Delaware corporation in 1985. Scudder launched its first fund in 1928. Kemper launched its first fund in 1948. Since December 31, 1997, Scudder Kemper has served as investment adviser to both Scudder and Kemper funds. As of August 31, 1998, Scudder Kemper has more than $241.1 billion in assets under management. The principal source of Scudder Kemper's income is professional fees received from providing continuing investment advice. Scudder Kemper provides investment counsel for many individuals and institutions, including insurance companies, endowments, industrial corporations and financial and banking organizations. Founded in 1872, Zurich is a multinational, public corporation organized under the laws of Switzerland. Its home office (and the home offices of Zurich Financial Services and Zurich Allied AG) is located at Mythenquai 2, 8002 Zurich, Switzerland. Historically, Zurich's earnings have resulted from its operations as an insurer as well as from its ownership of its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (the "Zurich Insurance Group"). Zurich and the Zurich Insurance Group provide an extensive range of insurance products and services and have branch offices and subsidiaries in more than 40 countries throughout the world. Zurich owns approximately 70% of the Investment Manager, with the balance owned by the Investment Manager's officers and employees. As stated above, Scudder Kemper is a Delaware corporation. Rolf Huppi* is the Chairman of the Board and Director, Edmond D. Villani(#) is the President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Stephen R. Beckwith(#) is the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, Kathryn L. Quirk(#) is the General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary, Lynn S. Birdsong(#) is a Corporate Vice President and Director, Cornelia M. Small(#) is a Corporate Vice President and Director, Laurence Cheng* is a Director, and, effective November 1, 1998, each of Gunther Gose* and William H. Bolinder(+) is a Director of the Investment Manager. The principal occupation of each of Edmond D. Villani, Stephen R. Beckwith, Kathryn L. Quirk, Lynn S. Birdsong and Cornelia M. Small is serving as a Managing Director of the Investment Manager; the principal occupation of Rolf Huppi is serving as an officer of Zurich; the principal occupation of Laurence Cheng is serving as a senior partner of Capital Z Partners, an investment fund; the principal occupation of Gunther Gose is serving as the Chief Financial Officer of Zurich Financial Services; the principal occupation of William H. Bolinder is serving as a member of the Group Executive Board of Zurich Financial Services. Appendix 7 includes information regarding each Trustee/Director and Officer of each Trust/Corporation who is associated with Scudder Kemper. The outstanding voting securities of the Investment Manager are held of record 36.63% by Zurich Holding Company of America ("ZHCA"), a subsidiary of Zurich; 32.85% by ZKI Holding Corp. ("ZKIH"), a subsidiary of Zurich; 20.86% by Stephen R. Beckwith, Lynn S. Birdsong, Kathryn L. Quirk, Cornelia M. Small and Edmond D. Villani, in their capacity as representatives (the "Manage- - ------------------------------ * Mythenquai 2, Zurich, Switzerland (#) 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York (+) 1400 American Lane, Schaumburg, Illinois 13 21 ment Representatives") of the Investment Manager's management holders and retiree holders pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Security Holders Agreement (the "Security Holders Agreement") among the Investment Manager, Zurich, ZHCA, ZKIH, the Management Representatives, the management holders, the retiree holders and Edmond D. Villani, as trustee of Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. Executive Defined Contribution Plan Trust (the "Plan Trust"); and 9.66% by the Plan Trust. There are no outstanding non-voting securities of the Investment Manager. In connection with the Scudder-Zurich Transaction (described above), pursuant to which Zurich acquired a two-thirds interest in Scudder for $866.7 million in cash in December, 1997, Daniel Pierce, a Trustee/Director of each Trust/Corporation, sold 85.4% of his holdings in Scudder to Zurich for cash. Pursuant to the Security Holders Agreement (which was entered into in connection with the Scudder-Zurich Transaction), the Board of Directors of the Investment Manager consists of four directors designated by ZHCA and ZKIH and three directors designated by Management Representatives. The Security Holders Agreement requires the approval of a majority of the Scudder-designated directors for certain decisions, including changing the name of Scudder Kemper, effecting an initial public offering before April 15, 2005, causing Scudder Kemper to engage substantially in non-investment management and related business, making material acquisitions or divestitures, making material changes in Scudder Kemper's capital structure, dissolving or liquidating Scudder Kemper, or entering into certain affiliated transactions with Zurich. The Security Holders Agreement also provides for various put and call rights with respect to Scudder Kemper stock held by persons who were employees of Scudder at the time of the Scudder-Zurich Transaction, limitations on Zurich's ability to purchase other asset management companies outside of Scudder Kemper, rights of Zurich to repurchase Scudder Kemper stock upon termination of employment of Scudder Kemper personnel, and registration rights for stock held by stockholders of Scudder continuing after the Scudder-Zurich Transaction. Directors, officers and employees of Scudder Kemper from time to time may enter into transactions with various banks, including each Fund's custodian bank. It is Scudder Kemper's opinion that the terms and conditions of those transactions will not be influenced by existing or potential custodial or other Fund relationships. Kemper Service Company ("KSC") is the transfer agent and dividend-paying agent for each Fund of KGIS, KSCRVF, KUSGIF and KDFSF. Investors Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC"), 127 West 10th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105, is each other Fund's transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. Pursuant to a services agreement with IFTC, Kemper Service Company ("KSC"), an affiliate of Scudder Kemper, serves as Shareholder Service Agent of each Fund for which IFTC serves as transfer and dividend-paying agent and, as such, performs all of IFTC's duties as transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. IFTC receives as transfer agent, and pays to KSC, annual account fees plus account set up, maintenance, transaction and out-of-pocket expense reimbursement. Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), a subsidiary of Scudder Kemper, computes net asset value for each Fund. Currently, SFAC receives no fee for its services to each Fund, other than KDFSF, KEMGF, KEMIF, KGBCF, KIGIF, KLAF, KUSGIF and KSCRVF; however, subject to Board approval, at some time in the future, SFAC may seek payment for its services from those Funds that currently do not pay it a fee for its services. Kemper Distributors, Inc. ("KDI"), 222 South Riverside Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60606, a subsidiary of Scudder Kemper, provides information and administrative services for shareholders of each Fund. KDI is also the principal underwriter and distributor of each Fund's shares and acts as agent of each Fund in the sale of its shares. For the Class B shares and Class C shares of each Fund, KDI receives a Rule 12b-1 distribution fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets of each such class. The table provided in Appendix 8 sets forth for each Fund (or class thereof, where appropriate) the respective fees paid to KSC (fees received from each Fund by IFTC and remitted to KSC), SFAC and KDI (including administration fees and Rule 12b-1 fees) during the last fiscal year of each Fund. Also 14 22 set forth in Appendix 8 as to each Fund during its most recent fiscal year is information regarding the commissions paid to KDI. KSC, SFAC and KDI will continue to provide transfer agency, fund accounting and underwriting, administrative and distribution services, respectively, to the Funds, as described above, under the current arrangements if the New Investment Management Agreements are approved. Exhibit B sets forth (as of each fund's last fiscal year end, unless otherwise noted) the fees and other information regarding investment companies advised by Scudder Kemper that have similar investment objectives to any of the Funds. (See Appendix 5 for information regarding the management fee rate, net assets and aggregate management fee paid for each Fund.) BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS ON PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS To the maximum extent feasible, Scudder Kemper or, where applicable, a sub-adviser to a Fund, places orders for portfolio transactions through Scudder Investor Services, Inc. ("SIS"), Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, which in turn places orders on behalf of the Funds with issuers, underwriters or other brokers and dealers. SIS is a corporation registered as a broker/dealer and a subsidiary of Scudder Kemper. SIS does not receive any commissions, fees or other remuneration from the Funds for this service. In selecting brokers and dealers with which to place portfolio transactions for a Fund, Scudder Kemper (or a sub-adviser) may consider sales of shares of the Funds and of other Kemper funds. When it can be done consistently with the policy of obtaining the most favorable net results, Scudder Kemper (or a sub-adviser) may place such orders with brokers and dealers who supply research, market and statistical information to a Fund or to Scudder Kemper. Scudder Kemper (or a sub-adviser, as applicable) is authorized when placing portfolio transactions for a Fund to pay a brokerage commission (to the extent applicable) in excess of that which another broker might charge for executing the same transaction on account of the receipt of research, market or statistical information. Allocation of portfolio transactions is supervised by Scudder Kemper. THE BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH TRUST/CORPORATION RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF EACH FUND VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS PROPOSAL 1. PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF KEUF, KGIF, KIF, KWF4, KDFSF AND KDHRF ONLY) KEUF, KGIF, KIF and KWF4 each uses the investment management services of Scudder Investments (U.K.) Limited ("SIL"), a subsidiary of Scudder Kemper, with respect to investments in foreign securities pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements between Scudder Kemper and SIL described below. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Scudder-Zurich Transaction, Zurich Investment Management Limited ("ZIML"), which was an indirect subsidiary of Zurich and an affiliate of Kemper, provided the sub-advisory services now provided by SIL to each of KEUF, KGIF, KIF and KWF4, pursuant to sub-advisory agreements dated December 1, 1996. Subsequent to the execution of the transaction agreement relating to the Scudder-Zurich Transaction, Zurich agreed to cause ownership of ZIML to be transferred by Zurich to Scudder Kemper (the "Transfer"). Prior to the consummation of the Scudder-Zurich Transaction, shareholders of each of KEUF, KGIF, KIF and KWF4 approved two new sub-advisory agreements relating to their Fund: (a) a sub-advisory agreement between Scudder Kemper and ZIML, to be dated as of the date of the consummation of the Scudder-Zurich Transaction, (the "First Sub-Advisory Agreement") to replace the Fund's current sub-advisory agreement upon its termination as a result of the Scudder-Zurich Transaction, and (b) a sub-advisory agreement between Scudder Kemper and the successor to ZIML resulting from the Transfer (which is SIL), to be dated as of the date of the Transfer, to replace the Fund's First Sub- 15 23 Advisory Agreement upon its termination as a result of the Transfer. The Transfer occurred on May 21, 1998. The sub-advisory agreements between SIL and Scudder Kemper applicable to each of KEUF, KGIF, KIF and KWF4 that were in effect immediately prior to the Transaction (the "Former SIL Sub-Advisory Agreements") were dated May 21, 1998. Each of KDFSF and KDHRF uses the investment management services of Dreman Value Management, L.L.C. ("DVM"), pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements between Scudder Kemper and DVM described below. DVM was formed in April 1997 and is controlled by David N. Dreman. Prior to the consummation of the Scudder-Zurich Transaction, DVM provided investment management services for KDHRF pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with Zurich Kemper Value Advisors, Inc. ("ZKVA"), a former wholly-owned subsidiary of Kemper, which agreement terminated upon the consummation of the Scudder-Zurich Transaction. Prior to such termination, the Board of Kemper Value Series, Inc. and the shareholders of KDHRF each approved a sub-advisory agreement between Scudder Kemper and DVM (a "Former DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement"), which became effective on December 31, 1997. DVM commenced providing sub-advisory services for KDFSF when the Fund commenced operations, which occurred after the consummation of the Scudder-Zurich Transaction, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between Scudder Kemper and DVM, approved by the Board of Kemper Equity Trust on January 21, 1998 and dated March 2, 1998 (also a "Former DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement"). Each Former SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement and each Former DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that such agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of the termination (due to assignment or otherwise) of the Fund's currently effective investment management agreement. As discussed in Proposal 1, consummation of the Transaction may be deemed to have constituted an "assignment," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, of each Fund's Former Investment Management Agreement and may therefore have caused a termination of each Former SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement and each Former DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement. (See Proposal 1 for more information regarding each Former Investment Management Agreement.) Accordingly, new sub-advisory agreements between SIL and Scudder Kemper, with respect to each of KEUF, KGIF, KIF and KWF4, (each a "New SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement" and, together with the Former SIL Sub-Advisory Agreements, the "SIL Sub-Advisory Agreements") and between DVM and Scudder Kemper, with respect to each of KDFSF and KDHRF, (each a "New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement" and, together with the Former DVM Sub-Advisory Agreements, the "DVM Sub-Advisory Agreements") were approved by the Board members of each applicable Trust/Corporation and are now being proposed for approval by shareholders of each of KEUF, KGIF, KIF, KWF4, KDFSF and KDHRF, respectively. As with the New Investment Management Agreements, prior to approval by shareholders of each applicable New SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement or New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement, any payments otherwise due under such sub-advisory agreements will be held in escrow subject to shareholder approval. EACH NEW SIL SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND NEW DVM SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT IS SUBSTANTIALLY IDENTICAL TO ITS CORRESPONDING FORMER AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR THE DATES OF EXECUTION AND, IN THE CASE OF THE SIL SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS, TERMINATION. The material terms of each SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement and DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement are fully described under "The SIL Sub-Advisory Agreements" and "The DVM Sub-Advisory Agreements," respectively, below. A form of New SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C. A form of New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Board of each applicable Trust/Corporation met on either July 17, 1998 or July 21, 1998 and each Board, including a majority of its Non-Interested Trustees/Directors, voted to approve the corresponding New SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement or New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement. In considering whether to approve such agreements, each Board considered similar factors to those it considered in approving the applicable Fund's New Investment Management Agreement, to the extent applicable. (See Proposal 1 for more information regarding each Board's Evaluation.) 16 24 DESCRIPTION OF THE SIL SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Under the terms of each SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement, SIL renders investment advisory and management services with regard to that portion of the Fund's portfolio as may be allocated to SIL by Scudder Kemper from time to time for management of foreign securities, including foreign currency transactions and related investments. For its services, SIL receives from Scudder Kemper (not from the Funds) a monthly fee at the annual rate of .35%, in the case of KIF, KEUF and KWF4, and .30%, in the case of KGIF, on the portion of the average daily net assets allocated by Scudder Kemper to SIL for management. Scudder Kemper (or its predecessor) paid to SIL (or its predecessor) during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998 for KWF4, October 31, 1997 for KIF, November 30, 1997 for KEUF and December 31, 1997 for KGIF, $95,000, $1,959,000, $43,000 and $345,000, respectively, for its sub-advisory services to each Fund. Each SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that SIL will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by any Fund in connection with matters to which the SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of SIL in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by SIL of its obligations and duties under the SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement. Each SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement continues in effect from year to year so long as its continuation is approved at least annually (a) by a majority of the Board members who are not parties to such agreement or interested persons of any such party except in their capacity as Board members of the applicable Trust and (b) by the shareholders of the applicable Fund or the applicable Board. Each SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time for a Fund upon 60 days' notice by Scudder Kemper, SIL or the applicable Board or by a majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund, and will terminate automatically upon assignment or upon the termination of the Fund's investment management agreement. SIL Scudder Investments (U.K.) Limited is located at 1 South Place, London EC2M 2ZS England. The names, addresses and principal occupations of the directors of SIL are as follows: Edmond D. Villani Director, SIL, and Chief Executive 345 Park Avenue Officer of Scudder Kemper New York, NY 10154 Stephen R. Beckwith Director, SIL, and Chief Financial 345 Park Avenue Officer of Scudder Kemper New York, NY 10154 Kathryn L.

Haas, Director Director, SIL, and Head of Finance 1 South Place London, UK EC2M 2ZS Joon Yew Tan Director, SIL, Company Secretary and Head 1 South Place of Compliance London, UK ECZM 225
In addition to acting as sub-adviser for KEUF, KGIF, KIF and KWF4, SIL also provides sub-advisory services to Kemper Global Income Portfolio and Kemper International Portfolio (each a "Portfolio"), 17 25 each a series of Investors Fund Series, and receives from Scudder Kemper for such services a monthly fee at the annual rate of .30% and .35%, respectively, on the portion of the applicable Portfolio's average daily net assets allocated by Scudder Kemper to SIL for management. THE NEW SIL SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS The New SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement for each of KEUF, KGIF, KIF and KWF4, which is currently in effect, is dated the date of the consummation of the Transaction, which occurred on September 7, 1998. Each New SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement was to be in effect for an initial term ending on April 1, 1999 for each of KEUF and KWF4 and March 1, 1999 for each of KGIF and KIF, and to be continued in effect from year to year thereafter, but only as long as such continuance is specially approved at least annually by the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the applicable Fund, or the applicable Board, including, in either event, the vote of a majority of the applicable Board's Trustees who are not parties to the agreement or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for such a purpose. At meetings held on September 18, 1998 and September 22, 1998, the Board of each applicable Fund, including a majority of the Non-Interested Trustees, approved the continuance of each New SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement through September 30, 1999. In the event that shareholders of KEUF, KGIF, KIF or KWF4 do not approve such Fund's New SIL Sub-Advisory Agreement, it will terminate. In such event, each applicable Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FORMER AND NEW SIL SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS The New SIL Sub-Advisory Agreements are substantially identical to the Former SIL Sub-Advisory Agreements, except for the dates of execution and termination. DESCRIPTION OF DVM SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Each DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that DVM shall manage the investment and reinvestment of the applicable Fund's assets in accordance with the investment objectives, policies and limitations and subject to the supervision of Scudder Kemper and the applicable Board. In connection therewith, each DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that DVM will furnish related office facilities and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services for the applicable Fund. Under each DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement, DVM agrees to assume and pay all costs and expenses of performing its obligations under the agreement, and Scudder Kemper agrees to pay to DVM a monthly fee at the annual rates described in the form of New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D applied to the average daily net assets of the applicable Fund. Scudder Kemper (or its predecessor or its predecessor's affiliate) paid to DVM during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997 $2,557,487 for the sub-advisory services it provided to KDHRF during that period. KDFSF did not commence operations until March 9, 1998. In addition, Scudder Kemper has guaranteed minimum payments to DVM during certain calendar years, also as described in the form of New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D. Each DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment by the applicable Fund of any penalty, by the applicable Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund, or by Scudder Kemper, in each case upon sixty (60) days' written notice; and it automatically terminates in the event of its assignment or in the event of the termination of the applicable Fund's investment management agreement. Scudder Kemper also has the right to terminate each DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement upon immediate notice if DVM becomes statutorily disqualified from performing its duties under the DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement or otherwise is legally prohibited from operating as an investment adviser. DVM may not terminate any DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement prior to the third anniversary of the date of the Agreement, with 18 26 respect to KDFSF, or July 30, 2000, with respect to KDHRF, and thereafter termination requires ninety (90) days' written notice. Each DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that DVM shall not be liable for any error of judgment or of law or for any loss suffered by Kemper Equity Trust or Kemper Value Series, Inc., as applicable, or the applicable Fund in connection with the matters to which the DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement relates, except loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of DVM in the performance of its obligations and duties under the DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement.

19 27 In addition to acting as sub-adviser for KDFSF and KDHRF, DVM also provides sub-advisory services to Kemper-Dreman Financial Services Portfolio and Kemper-Dreman High Return Equity Portfolio (each a "Portfolio"), each a series of Investors Fund Series, and receives from Scudder Kemper for such services to each Portfolio a monthly fee at an equivalent rate to that applicable to KDFSF and KDHRF. THE NEW DVM SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS The New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement for each of KDFSF and KDHRF, which is currently in effect, is dated the date of the consummation of the Transaction, which occurred on September 7, 1998. The New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement applicable to KDFSF will be in effect until February 1, 2003 and the New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement applicable to KDHRF will be in effect until December 31, 2002, in each case unless sooner terminated or not annually approved as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement shall continue in effect through February 1, 2003, with respect to KDFSF, and December 31, 2002, with respect to KDHRF, and year to year thereafter, but only as long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually and in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with the first annual renewal to be coincident with the next renewal of the applicable Fund's investment management agreement. Each new DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement was last continued until September 30, 1999 by the applicable Board on September 22, 1998. In the event that shareholders of either of KDFSF or KDHRF do not approve such Fund's New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreement, it will terminate. In such event, each applicable Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FORMER AND NEW DVM SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS The New DVM Sub-Advisory Agreements are substantially identical to the Former DVM Sub-Advisory Agreements, except for the dates of execution. THE BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH APPLICABLE TRUST/CORPORATION RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF EACH APPLICABLE FUND VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS PROPOSAL 2. PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE MODIFICATION OR ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN POLICIES AND THE ELIMINATION OF THE SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL REQUIREMENT AS TO CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS The 1940 Act requires an investment company to adopt policies governing certain specified activities, which can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Policies that cannot be changed or eliminated without a shareholder vote are referred to in this Proxy Statement as "fundamental" policies. The purposes of this Proposal are to eliminate the requirement of shareholder approval to change policies except where required by the 1940 Act and to provide the maximum permitted flexibility in those policies that do require shareholder approval. Management has advised the Boards that some of the Funds' fundamental policies that are not required to be such under the 1940 Act were adopted in the past as a result of now rescinded regulatory requirements and no longer serve any useful purpose. Management believes that other fundamental policies, as well as the classification of each Fund's investment objective(s) as fundamental, are unnecessary because the provisions of the 1940 Act or federal tax law, together with the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws, provide adequate safeguards for a Fund and its shareholders. The Proposal is described in more detail below. This Proposal is sub-divided into the following three sections: (1) Elimination of Shareholder Approval Requirement to Amend Investment Objectives and Investment Policies. Certain of the Funds listed below currently require shareholder approval to amend "investment objectives and policies." The first section of this Proposal seeks shareholder 20 28 approval of the elimination of the shareholder approval requirement for amending (a) "investment objectives," and (b) "investment policies" which are not otherwise specifically identified as fundamental. Eliminating the shareholder approval requirement for amending the investment objective (or objectives) of a Fund is intended to enhance the Fund's investment flexibility in the event of changing circumstances. Additionally, management believes that currently it is not possible to determine precisely which policies are fundamental on the basis of the language in the Funds' Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information, thus creating uncertainty and restricting the Funds' investment flexibility and their ability to respond to changing regulatory and industry conditions. (2) Revision of Fundamental Policies Mandated by the 1940 Act. Each of the fundamental policies proposed for revision relates to an activity that the 1940 Act requires be governed by a fundamental policy. Each proposed revision is, in general, intended to provide the Funds' Boards with the maximum flexibility permitted under the 1940 Act, and to promote simplicity among the Funds' policies. (3) Elimination of Shareholder Approval Requirement to Change Other Fundamental Policies. This Proposal seeks to eliminate certain policies that are specifically designated as fundamental but which are not required to be fundamental under the 1940 Act. The Boards of the Funds anticipate adopting certain of these policies as non-fundamental. Any policy that is not designated as fundamental can be modified or eliminated by the Board, and, as indicated below, management intends to recommend to the Boards the elimination of several of them as being inappropriate or unnecessary under current conditions. Each proposed policy is identified in bold-type below together with a list of Funds whose shareholders' vote is required. Each Fund's current fundamental policies are set forth in Exhibit E. Changes in fundamental policies that are approved by shareholders, as well as changes in non-fundamental policies that are adopted by a Board, will be reflected in each Fund's Prospectus and other disclosure documents. Any change in the method of operation of a Fund will require prior Board approval. Except as specifically indicated below, the Board of each Fund does not presently intend to change the investment objective(s) or the investment policies of that Fund. Approval of each item of this Proposal with respect to any Fund requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities, as defined above, of that Fund. If the shareholders of any Fund fail to approve the proposed modification or elimination of polices or the elimination of the shareholder approval requirement as to a matter, the current policy or approval requirement will remain in effect. ELIMINATION OF SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL REQUIREMENT TO AMEND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND INVESTMENT POLICIES Investment Objectives PROPOSAL 3.0: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE(S) OF THAT FUND WILL NOT BE CLASSIFIED AS FUNDAMENTAL. This proposal applies to all Funds (except for KUSGIF, KSCRVF, KCF, KDHRF and KSCVF, which currently do not classify investment objectives as fundamental). Management believes that leaving the power to modify investment objectives up to the discretion of the Board would strengthen each Fund's ability to respond to changing circumstances. The Board of each Fund does not presently intend to modify any investment objective, and would disclose any changes to applicable shareholders by amending the particular Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. 21 29 Investment Policies PROPOSAL 3.1: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THE "INVESTMENT POLICIES" OF THAT FUND WILL NOT BE CLASSIFIED AS FUNDAMENTAL EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. This proposal applies to: KAGF KCRF KFLTF KGSF KICPF KMBF KNYTF KRF I KRF IV KRF VII KTRF KVGF KAGGF KDIF KGF KHYF KIF KOHTF KRF II KRF V KSCF KWF4 KBCF KCATF KEUF KGIF KHYOF KIMBF KRF III KRF VI KTEC KUSMF This proposal is intended to provide the Funds with clarity of disclosure and the investment flexibility necessary to respond to changing circumstances by eliminating the shareholder approval requirement for amending "investment policies" which are not specifically identified as fundamental. The Funds' Prospectuses currently contain a statement that characterizes the "investment policies" of a Fund as fundamental. Management believes that this current statement is overbroad and, therefore, creates difficulty for portfolio managers in operating a Fund and for current or potential shareholders of a Fund in determining which policies of the Fund are fundamental. The current statement also unnecessarily restricts a Fund's flexibility and may make it more difficult to respond to changing conditions. Management believes that removing the fundamental characterization of all policies not otherwise specifically identified as fundamental is consistent with industry standards and would allow the Board of a Fund to modify its investment policies in light of changes in the investment management industry, market conditions and the regulatory environment, but only consistent with applicable law, the Fund's investment objective and its clearly-identified fundamental policies. REVISION OF FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES MANDATED BY THE 1940 ACT Diversification PROPOSAL 3.2(a): IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND WILL REMAIN A "DIVERSIFIED" FUND UNDER THE 1940 ACT, BUT WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN THE 1940 ACT. This proposal applies to: KAGF KDIF KGF KH10P KHYOF KIGIF KRF I KRF IV KRF VII KTEC KUSMF KDHRF KBCF KCRF KEUF KGSF KH5P KICPF KIMBF KRF II KRF V KSCF KTRF KVGF KSCVF KDFSF KGBCF KH20P KHYF KIF KMBF KRF III KRF VI KSCRVF KUSGIF KCF KWF4 22 30 Each Fund is currently classified as a diversified open-end investment company, or as a diversified series of an open-end investment company. Under the 1940 Act, a "diversified" Fund may not, with respect to 75% of the value of its total assets, invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in securities issued by any one issuer or purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, except in each case in U.S. Government securities or securities issued by other investment companies. Currently, each Fund also has adopted additional diversification policies. Each of KEUF, KAGF and KSCRVF, with respect to 75% of the value of its total assets, may not invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer, and with respect to 100% of the value of its total assets, may not purchase more than 10% of the securities of any one issuer. Each of KCF, KDHRF, KSCVF, KDIF, KHYF and KHYOF, with respect to 75% of the value of its total assets, may not purchase more than 10% of the securities of any one issuer or invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer. Each of the Funds' policies includes an exception for U.S. Government securities and the policy for each of KAGF, KBCF, KGF, KGSF, KHYOF, KIMBF, KMBF, KSCF, KTEC, KTRF and KVGF also includes an exception for investments in a master fund within a master/feeder fund structure. Under their current diversification policies, KBCF, KCRF, KGF, KGSF, KH20P, KH10P, KH5P, KICPF, KIF, KIMBF, KMBF, KRF I, KRF II, KRF III, KRF IV, KRF V, KRF VI, KRF VII, KSCF, KTEC, KTRF, KUSMF, KVGF and KWF4, each may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer. Except for KIMBF, KMBF and KGSF, each of these Funds' policies also contains a separate restriction prohibiting the purchase of more than 10% of the securities of any one issuer. Accordingly, the elimination of the additional diversification policies for a Fund means that the Fund must comply with only the 1940 Act diversification requirements. As a result, the elimination of the additional diversification policies that apply to 75% of the value of a Fund's total assets will not represent a substantive change to that Fund's diversification requirements. However, the elimination of the additional diversification policies that apply to 100% of the value of a Fund's total assets will cause that Fund to have less restrictive diversification requirements. PROPOSAL 3.2(b): IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND WILL REMAIN A "NON-DIVERSIFIED" FUND UNDER THE 1940 ACT BUT WILL ELIMINATE AS FUNDAMENTAL THE CURRENT DIVERSIFICATION POLICIES. This proposal applies to: KAGGF KGIF KNYTF KCATF KOHTF KFLTF Each Fund has elected to be classified as a non-diversified open-end investment company, or as a non-diversified series of an open-end investment company. Consequently, the Funds have no diversification requirements under the 1940 Act. However, the Funds currently have diversification policies that restrict each Fund, with respect to 50% of the value of its total assets, from investing more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer, and with respect to the other 50% of its total assets, from investing more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer. These diversification policies reflect the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for a fund to qualify for the favorable tax status as a "regulated investment company." Whether or not this proposal is approved by shareholders, all Funds intend to continue to meet these requirements. Borrowing PROPOSAL 3.3: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND MAY NOT BORROW MONEY, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, AND AS INTERPRETED OR MODIFIED BY REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION, FROM TIME TO TIME. 23 31 This proposal applies to all Funds (except for KEMGF, KEMIF, KGBCF, KIGIF, KLAF, KDFSF and KUSGIF, which currently have the proposed fundamental policy set forth immediately above). The current policy of each Fund prohibits borrowing money, except as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, in which case KAGF, KAGGF, KBCF, KCRF, KEUF, KFLTF, KGIF, KH20P, KH10P, KH5P, KHYOF, KNYTF, KOHTF, KRF I, KRF II, KRF III, KRF IV, KRF V, KRF VI, KRF VII, KSCRVF, KUSMF, KHYOF and KWF4, may each borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets; KCF, KDHRF, KSCVF and KCATF may borrow up to 10% of the value of its total assets; and KDIF, KGF, KGSF, KHYF, KICPF, KIF, KIMBF, KMBF, KTEC, KSCF, KTRF, and KVGF may each borrow up to 5% of the value of its total assets. Additionally, KAGF, KAGGF, KBCF, KCRF, KEUF, KGIF, KRF I, KRF II, KRF III, KRF IV, KRF V, KRF VI, KRF VII, KUSMF and KWF4 are restricted from borrowing for leverage or from making investments while borrowings are outstanding. Each of KH20P, KH10P and KH5P may not make investments while borrowings are in excess of 5% of its total assets. KHYOF may borrow for leverage but not in excess of 20% of its total assets including the amount borrowed. The proposed policy would permit each Fund to engage in borrowing in a manner and to the full extent permitted by applicable law. The 1940 Act requires borrowings to have 300% asset coverage, which means, in effect, that a Fund would be permitted to borrow up to an amount equal to 50% of its total assets under the proposed borrowing policy. Additionally, under the proposed policy, each Fund would not be limited to borrowing for temporary or emergency purposes, could borrow for leverage, and could purchase securities for investment while borrowings are outstanding. However, the Boards have no current intention of authorizing any of these practices. If a Board authorized a Fund to borrow for leverage, such borrowings would increase the Fund's volatility and the risk of loss in a declining market. Senior Securities PROPOSAL 3.4: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND MAY NOT ISSUE SENIOR SECURITIES, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, AND AS INTERPRETED OR MODIFIED BY REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION, FROM TIME TO TIME. This proposal applies to all Funds (except for KDFSF and the KGIS Funds, which currently have the proposed fundamental policy set forth immediately above). The current policy of each Fund prohibits the issuance of senior securities (i.e., securities which are obligations or instruments evidencing indebtedness) except as permitted under the 1940 Act. The proposed policy re-words the current policy without making any material changes. Concentration PROPOSAL 3.5(a): IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND MAY NOT CONCENTRATE ITS INVESTMENTS IN A PARTICULAR INDUSTRY, AS THAT TERM IS USED IN THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, AND AS INTERPRETED OR MODIFIED BY REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION, FROM TIME TO TIME. This proposal applies to all Funds (except for KDFSF and the KGIS Funds, which currently have the proposed fundamental policy set forth immediately above, and except for KCRF; see Proposal 3.5(b) below). While the 1940 Act does not define what constitutes "concentration" in an industry, the staff of the Commission takes the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund's assets in an industry constitutes concentration. If a fund concentrates in an industry, it must at all times have more than 25% of its assets invested in that industry, and if its policy is not to concentrate, as is the case with each of the Funds, it may not invest more than 25% of its assets in the applicable industry, unless, in either case, the fund discloses the specific conditions under which it will change from concentrating to not concentrating or vice versa. 24 32 Each Fund's current policy in effect prohibits the purchase of securities if it would result in more than 25% of the Fund's total assets being invested in the same industry. For each of the Funds, there are exceptions for U.S. Government securities, state securities, and/or for investment in a master fund within a master/feeder fund structure. In some cases, what constitutes an industry for the purposes of this restriction is included in the policy itself. A fund is permitted to adopt reasonable definitions of what constitutes an industry, or it may use standard classifications recognized by the Commission, or some combination thereof. Because a fund may create its own reasonable industry classifications, management believes that it is not necessary to include such matters in the fundamental policy of a Fund. PROPOSAL 3.5(b): IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND, THE FUND WILL NOT CONCENTRATE ITS INVESTMENTS IN A PARTICULAR INDUSTRY, AS THAT TERM IS USED IN THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, AND AS INTERPRETED OR MODIFIED BY REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION, FROM TIME TO TIME, EXCEPT THAT THE FUND INTENDS TO INVEST MORE THAN 25% OF ITS NET ASSETS IN INSTRUMENTS ISSUED BY BANKS. This proposal applies to KCRF. The Fund currently concentrates more than 25% of its net assets in instruments issued by banks. The proposed concentration policy has been re-worded without making any material changes. Underwriting of Securities - ----------------------------- PROPOSAL 3.6: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND MAY NOT ENGAGE IN THE BUSINESS OF UNDERWRITING SECURITIES ISSUED BY OTHERS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT A FUND MAY BE DEEMED TO BE AN UNDERWRITER IN CONNECTION WITH THE DISPOSITION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. This proposal applies to all Funds (except for KDFSF and the KGIS Funds, which currently have the proposed fundamental policy set forth above). The proposed underwriting policy has been re-worded without making any material changes. Investment In Real Estate - ---------------------------- PROPOSAL 3.7: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND MAY NOT PURCHASE OR SELL REAL ESTATE, WHICH TERM DOES NOT INCLUDE SECURITIES OF COMPANIES WHICH DEAL IN REAL ESTATE OR MORTGAGES OR INVESTMENTS SECURED BY REAL ESTATE OR INTERESTS THEREIN, EXCEPT THAT THE FUND RESERVES FREEDOM OF ACTION TO HOLD AND TO SELL REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED AS A RESULT OF THE FUND'S OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES. This proposal applies to all Funds (except for KDFSF and the KGIS Funds, which currently have the proposed fundamental policy set forth above). The proposed real estate policy re-words the current policies without making any material changes. The policies of KBCF, KGIF, KGSF, KH20P, KH10P, KH5P, KRF I, KRF II, KRF III, KRF IV, KRF V, KRF VI, KRF VII and KWF4 currently also prohibit investment in real estate limited partnerships. Additionally, the policies of KSCRVF, KCF, KDHRF and KSCVF currently prohibit investment in mortgage loans. Management intends to recommend to the Boards of the Funds the adoption of each of the foregoing policies as non-fundamental policies. Purchase of Commodities - ----------------------------- PROPOSAL 3.8: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND MAY NOT PURCHASE PHYSICAL COMMODITIES OR CONTRACTS RELATING TO PHYSICAL COMMODITIES. This proposal applies to all Funds (except KDFSF, the KGIS Funds and KUSGIF, which currently have the proposed fundamental policy set forth immediately above). 25 33 The Funds' current policies prohibit the purchase or sale of commodities or commodity contracts. These policies may contain exceptions for financial futures contracts and options on such contracts, foreign currency transactions, and, in the case of KCF, KDHRF and KSCVF, investments in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs. Under the proposed policy, each Fund would be prohibited from purchasing only physical commodities or contracts relating to physical commodities. Lending PROPOSAL 3.9: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS APPROVED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND MAY NOT MAKE LOANS EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, AND AS INTERPRETED OR MODIFIED BY REGULATORY AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION, FROM TIME TO TIME. This proposal applies to all Funds. Each Fund's current lending policy prohibits making loans to others. There may be no exceptions to this restriction, as is the case with KCATF, or there may be exceptions for loans of portfolio securities and to the extent the entry into repurchase agreements, the purchase of debt securities or interests in indebtedness and/or the making of time or demand deposits with banks in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives and policies are deemed to be loans. The proposed policy, unlike the current policy, does not specify the particular types of lending in which each Fund is permitted to engage; instead, the proposed policy permits each Fund to lend in a manner and to an extent permitted by applicable law. The proposed change would, therefore, permit each Fund, subject to the receipt of any necessary regulatory approval and Board authorization, to enter into lending arrangements, including lending agreements under which the Funds advised by Scudder Kemper could for temporary purposes lend money directly to and borrow money directly from each other through a credit facility. Each of the Funds believes that the flexibility provided by this policy change could possibly reduce the Fund's borrowing costs and enhance its ability to earn higher rates of interest on short-term lendings in the event that the Board determines that such arrangements are warranted in light of the Fund's particular circumstances. ELIMINATION OF SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL REQUIREMENT TO CHANGE OTHER FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES Certain of the policies listed below (Margin Purchases and Short Sales, Purchase of Securities of Related Issuers, Pledging of Assets, Restricted and Illiquid Securities, Purchases of Securities, Investment in Issuers with Short Histories and Investment in Investment Companies) were initially adopted by the Funds due to state securities regulatory policies that are no longer in effect. Others reflected industry conditions at the time. Management believes that each of these policies should be eliminated as a fundamental policy in the interest of simplicity and flexibility. Except as otherwise stated, if shareholders approve the elimination of these policies as fundamental, management will recommend to the Boards that they eliminate these policies entirely as being unnecessary. 26 34 Margin Purchases and Short Sales PROPOSAL 3.10: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND WILL NOT HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION ON MARGIN PURCHASES AND SHORT SALES. This proposal applies to: KAGF KCRF KFLTF KH20P KHYF KIF KOHTF KRF II KRF V KSCF KTRF KVGF KSCVF KAGGF KDIF KGF KH10P KHYOF KIMBF KRF III KRF VI KSCRVF KCF KWF4 KBCF KCATF KEUF KGIF KH5P KICPF KMBF KNYTF KRF I KRF IV KRF VII KTEC KUSMF KDHRF Each Fund is currently either prohibited from (1) making purchases on margin and/or making short sales, unless the Fund has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold and unless not more than 10% of the Fund's total assets is held as collateral for such sales at any one time, or (2) making margin purchases and short sales, except to obtain short-term credits necessary for clearance of transactions, and in the case of margin deposits, in connection with financial futures and options transactions. If elimination of this restriction is approved by shareholders, each Fund's potential use of margin transactions beyond transactions in futures and options and for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities, including the use of margin in ordinary securities transactions, would be generally limited by the current position taken by the staff of the SEC that margin transactions with respect to securities are prohibited under Section 18 of the 1940 Act because they create senior securities. "Margin transactions" involve the purchase of securities with money borrowed from a broker, with cash or eligible securities being used as collateral against the loan. Each Fund's ability to engage in margin transactions is also limited by its borrowing policies, which permit a Fund to borrow money only as permitted by applicable law. Purchase of Securities of Related Issuers PROPOSAL 3.11: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND WILL NOT HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION ON THE PURCHASE OF SECURITIES OF RELATED ISSUERS. This proposal applies to: KCRF KRF III KRF VI KRF I KRF IV KUSMF KRF II KRF V The current policy of each Fund prohibits the purchase of securities of issuers any of whose officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an officer, trustee or director of the Fund or an officer, director, trustee or security holder of Scudder Kemper if one or more of such individuals owns more than 1/2 of one percent of the shares or securities of such issuer or own collectively more than 5% of the shares or securities of such issuer. Transactions between each Fund and an affiliated person of the Fund are currently regulated under the 1940 Act. 27 35 Pledging of Assets - -------------------- PROPOSAL 3.12: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND WILL NOT HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION ON THE PLEDGING OF ASSETS. This proposal applies to: KAGF KDIF KGF KH20P KHYF KIMBF KRF III KRF VI KSCRVF KDHRF KAGGF KEUF KGIF KH10P KICPF KMBF KNYTF KRF I KRF IV KRF VII KTEC KVGF KSCVF KBCF KCATF KFLTF KGSF KH5P KIF KOHTF KRF II KRF V KSCF KTRF KCF KWF4 Each Fund is currently prohibited from pledging, mortgaging or hypothecating assets, except in order to secure borrowings, and in the case of KCF, KDHRF, KSCVF and KSCRVF, in connection with options and futures contracts. Funds may pledge securities having a market value not exceeding 7 1/2%, 10%, 15% or up to the amount of the borrowing of the value of a Fund's assets and, in certain cases, except in connection with writing covered call options and the purchase or sale of futures contracts and options on futures contracts. Restricted and Illiquid Securities - ------------------------------------ PROPOSAL 3.13: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND WILL NOT HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION ON THE PURCHASE OF RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES. This proposal applies to: KCRF, KUSMF, KCF, KDHRF, KSCVF Each Fund is currently prohibited from entering into repurchase agreements or purchasing securities if, as a result, more than 10% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in illiquid securities, restricted securities or repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days. KCRF and KUSMF is each also prohibited from investing more than 5% of its total assets in securities restricted as to disposition under the federal securities laws, except for commercial paper exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the 1940 Act and applicable interpretations of the SEC, each Fund is currently prohibited from investing more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including restricted securities which are deemed to be illiquid. 28 36 Purchases of Securities - ------------------------- PROPOSAL 3.14: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND WILL NOT HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION ON THE PURCHASE OF A SPECIFIED PERCENTAGE OF AN ISSUER'S SECURITIES. This proposal applies to: KAGF KEUF KH20P KICPF KRF III KRF VI KTEC KVGF KAGGF KGF KH10P KRF I KRF IV KRF VII KTRF KWF4 KBCF KCRF KGIF KH5P KRF II KRF V KSCF KUSMF Each Fund is prohibited with respect to 100% of its assets from purchasing more than 10% of the securities of a single issuer. Additionally, each Fund (except for KAGGF and KGIF) is a "diversified" fund and is therefore limited to purchasing, with respect to 75% of its assets, not more than 10% of the voting securities of a single issuer. Purchases of Options and Warrants - ---------------------------------------- PROPOSAL 3.15: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND WILL NOT HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION ON PURCHASES OF OPTIONS AND WARRANTS. This proposal applies to: KAGF KDIF KGF KHYF KBCF KIMBF KRF III KRF VI KTRF KVGF KCATF KEUF KGIF KICPF KMBF KNYTF KRF I KRF IV KSCF KWF4 KCRF KFLTF KGSF KIF KOHTF KRF II KRF V KTEC KUSMF The Funds are currently prohibited from or limited in writing, purchasing or selling options. Some Funds are prohibited from writing, purchasing or selling options on more than 25% of a Fund's net assets and are restricted from investing more than 5% of the Fund's net assets on premiums on put and call options. Some Funds' policies contain exceptions for purchases and sales of options on financial contracts. Several Funds have absolute restrictions on such transactions. Investment for the Purpose of Exercising Control or Management - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROPOSAL 3.16: IF THIS PROPOSAL IS ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF A FUND, THAT FUND WILL NOT HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION ON INVESTMENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXERCISING CONTROL OR MANAGEMENT.

THE BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH TRUST/CORPORATION RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF EACH FUND VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS PROPOSAL 3. 31 39 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GENERAL The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy card and Proxy Statement and all other costs incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including any additional solicitation made by letter, telephone or telegraph, will be paid by Zurich or its affiliates. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain officers and representatives of each Trust/Corporation, officers and employees of Scudder Kemper and certain financial services firms and their representatives, who will receive no extra compensation for their services, may solicit proxies by telephone, telegram or personally. Shareholder Communications Corporation ("SCC") has been engaged to assist in the solicitation of proxies. As the Special Meeting date approaches, certain shareholders of each Fund may receive a telephone call from a representative of SCC if their votes have not yet been received. Authorization to permit SCC to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions from shareholders of each Fund. Proxies that are obtained telephonically will be recorded in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The Trustees/Directors believe that these procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that the identity of the shareholder casting the vote is accurately determined and that the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately determined. In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited, the SCC representative is required to ask for each shareholder's full name, address, social security or employer identification number, title (if the shareholder is authorized to act on behalf of an entity, such as a corporation), and the number of shares owned, and to confirm that the shareholder has received the proxy materials in the mail. If the information solicited agrees with the information provided to SCC, then the SCC representative has the responsibility to explain the process, read the Proposals on the proxy card, and ask for the shareholder's instructions on the Proposals. The SCC representative, although he or she is permitted to answer questions about the process, is not permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to vote, other than to read any recommendation set forth in the Proxy Statement. SCC will record the shareholder's instructions on the card. Within 72 hours, the shareholder will be sent a letter or mailgram to confirm his or her vote and asking the shareholder to call SCC immediately if his or her instructions are not correctly reflected in the confirmation. If a shareholder wishes to participate in the Special Meeting, but does not wish to give a proxy by telephone, the shareholder may still submit the proxy card originally sent with the Proxy Statement or attend in person. Should shareholders require additional information regarding the proxy or replacement proxy cards, they may contact SCC toll-free at 1-800-248-2116. Any proxy given by a shareholder, whether in writing or by telephone, is revocable until voted at the Special Meeting. PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for a shareholder meeting subsequent to the Special Meeting, if any, should send their written proposals to the Secretary of the Trust/Corporation, c/o Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc., at the address for each Trust/Corporation shown at the beginning of this Proxy Statement, within a reasonable time before the solicitation of proxies for such meeting. The timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion. OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE SPECIAL MEETING No Board member is aware of any matters that will be presented for action at a Special Meeting other than the matters set forth herein. Should any other matters requiring a vote of shareholders arise, the proxy in the accompanying form will confer upon the person or persons entitled to vote the shares represented by such proxy the discretionary authority to vote the shares as to any such other 32 40 matters in accordance with their best judgment in the interest of each Trust/Corporation and/or Fund. PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD(S) PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES. By order of the Boards of Trustees/Directors, /s/ Philip J.

You shall be required to pay such of the foregoing sales expenses as are not required to be paid by the principal underwriter pursuant to the underwriting agreement or are not permitted to be paid by the Fund (or some other party) pursuant to such a plan. 5. Management Fee. For all services to be rendered, payments to be made and costs to be assumed by you as provided in sections 2, 3, and 4 hereof, the (Trust)(Corporation) on behalf of the Fund shall pay you in United States Dollars (ON THE LAST DAY OF EACH MONTH THE UNPAID BALANCE OF A FEE EQUAL TO THE EXCESS OF ------- OVER) (A BASE ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE, PAYABLE MONTHLY, AT THE RATE OF .65 OF 1% OF THE AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS OF THE FUND. THIS BASE FEE IS SUBJECT TO UPWARD OR DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT ON THE BASIS OF THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE CLASS A SHARES OF THE FUND AS COMPARED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STANDARD & POOR'S 500 STOCK INDEX (THE "INDEX"). THE TRUST WILL PAY AN ADDITIONAL MONTHLY FEE AT AN ANNUAL RATE OF -------% OF SUCH AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS FOR EACH PERCENTAGE POINT (FRACTIONS TO BE PRORATED) BY WHICH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CLASS A SHARES OF THE FUND EXCEEDS THAT OF THE INDEX FOR THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING TWELVE MONTHS; PROVIDED THAT SUCH ADDITIONAL MONTHLY FEE SHALL NOT EXCEED 1/12 OF -------% OF THE AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS. CONVERSELY, THE COMPENSATION PAYABLE BY THE TRUST WILL BE REDUCED BY AN ANNUAL RATE OF -------% OF SUCH AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS FOR EACH PERCENTAGE POINT (FRACTIONS TO BE PRORATED) BY WHICH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CLASS A SHARES OF THE FUND FALLS BELOW THAT OF THE INDEX, PROVIDED THAT SUCH REDUCTION IN THE MONTHLY FEE SHALL NOT EXCEED 1/12 OF -------% OF THE AVERAGE NET ASSETS. THE TOTAL FEE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS CAN RANGE FROM -------% TO -------% OF AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS. THE TRUST'S INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE DURING ANY TWELVE MONTH PERIOD IS MEASURED BY THE PERCENTAGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN (a) THE OPENING NET ASSET VALUE OF ONE CLASS A SHARE OF THE FUND AND (b) THE SUM OF THE CLOSING NET ASSET VALUE OF ONE CLASS A SHARE OF THE FUND PLUS THE VALUE OF ANY INCOME AND CAPITAL GAIN DIVIDENDS ON SUCH SHARE DURING THE PERIOD TREATED AS IF REINVESTED IN CLASS A SHARES OF THE FUND AT THE TIME OF DISTRIBUTION. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX IS MEASURED BY THE PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN THE INDEX BETWEEN THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF THE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD WITH CASH DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE SECURITIES WHICH COMPRISE THE INDEX BEING TREATED AS REINVESTED IN THE INDEX AT THE END OF EACH MONTH FOLLOWING THE PAYMENT OF THE DIVIDEND. EACH MONTHLY CALCULATION OF THE INCENTIVE PORTION OF THE FEE MAY BE ILLUSTRATED AS FOLLOWS: IF OVER THE PRECEDING TWELVE MONTH PERIOD THE TRUST'S ADJUSTED NET ASSET VALUE A-4 46 APPLICABLE TO ONE CLASS A SHARE WENT FROM $10.00 TO $ ------- ( -------% APPRECIATION), AND THE INDEX, AFTER ADJUSTMENT, WENT FROM 100 TO 104 (OR ONLY 4%), THE ENTIRE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION WOULD HAVE BEEN EARNED BY YOU. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF THE INDEX ROSE FROM 100 TO ------- ( -------%), NO INCENTIVE FEE WOULD HAVE BEEN PAYABLE. A RISE IN THE INDEX FROM 100 TO ------- ( -------%) WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE MINIMUM MONTHLY FEE OF 1/12 OF -------%. SINCE THE COMPUTATION IS NOT CUMULATIVE FROM YEAR TO YEAR, AN ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT FEE MAY BE PAYABLE WITH RESPECT TO A PARTICULAR YEAR, ALTHOUGH THE TRUST'S PERFORMANCE OVER SOME LONGER PERIOD OF TIME MAY BE LESS FAVORABLE THAN THAT OF THE INDEX. CONVERSELY, A LOWER MANAGEMENT FEE MAY BE PAYABLE IN A YEAR IN WHICH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES IS LESS FAVORABLE THAN THAT OF THE INDEX, ALTHOUGH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME MIGHT BE BETTER THAN THAT OF THE INDEX. THESE MANAGEMENT FEES WILL BE REDUCED BY) any compensation waived by you from time to time (as more fully described below). You shall be entitled to receive during any month such interim payments of your fee hereunder as you shall request, provided that no such payment shall exceed 75 percent of the amount of your fee then accrued on the books of the Fund and unpaid. The "average daily net assets" of the Fund shall mean the average of the values placed on the Fund's net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each day on which the net asset value of the Fund is determined consistent with the provisions of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act or, if the Fund lawfully determines the value of its net assets as of some other time on each business day, as of such time. The value of the net assets of the Fund shall always be determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the (Declaration)(Articles) and the Registration Statement. If the determination of net asset value does not take place for any particular day, then for the purposes of this section 5, the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value of its net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time), or as of such other time as the value of the net assets of the Fund's portfolio may be lawfully determined on that day. If the Fund determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio more than once on any day, then the last such determination thereof on that day shall be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on that day for the purposes of this section 5. [FOR KMBF, KCATF AND KGSF ONLY: You agree that your gross compensation for any fiscal year shall not be greater than an amount which, when added to other expenses of the Fund, shall cause the aggregate expenses of the Fund to equal _____ % of average daily net assets. [KMBF AND KGSF: 1% of average daily net assets; KCATF: 1.5% of average daily net assets up to $30 million and 1% of average daily net assets over $30 million.] Except to the extent that such amount has been reflected in reduced payments to you, you shall refund to the Fund the amount of any payment received in excess of the limitation pursuant to this section 5 as promptly as practicable after the end of such fiscal year, provided that you shall not be required to pay the Fund an amount greater than the fee paid to you in respect of such year pursuant to this Agreement. As used in this section 5, "expenses" shall mean those expenses included in the applicable expense limitation having the broadest specifications thereof, and "expense limitation" means a limit on the maximum annual expenses which may be incurred by an investment company determined (i) by multiplying a fixed percentage by the average, or by multiplying more than one such percentage by different specified amounts of the average, of the values of an investment company's net assets for a fiscal year or (ii) by multiplying a fixed percentage by an investment company's net investment income for a fiscal year.] You may waive all or a portion of your fees provided for hereunder and such waiver shall be treated as a reduction in purchase price of your services. You shall be contractually bound hereunder by the terms of any publicly announced waiver of your fee, or any limitation of the Fund's expenses, as if such waiver or limitation were fully set forth herein. 6. Avoidance of Inconsistent Position; Services Not Exclusive. In connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities and other investments for the account of the Fund, neither you nor any of your directors, officers or employees shall act as a principal or agent or receive any A-5 47 commission. You or your agent shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and other investments for the Fund's account with brokers or dealers selected by you in accordance with Fund policies as expressed in the Registration Statement. If any occasion should arise in which you give any advice to clients of yours concerning the Shares of the Fund, you shall act solely as investment counsel for such clients and not in any way on behalf of the Fund. Your services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not to be deemed to be exclusive and it is understood that you may render investment advice, management and services to others. In acting under this Agreement, you shall be an independent contractor and not an agent of the (Trust)(Corporation). Whenever the Fund and one or more other accounts or investment companies advised by you have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each shall be allocated in accordance with procedures believed by you to be equitable to each entity. Similarly, opportunities to sell securities shall be allocated in a manner believed by you to be equitable. The Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position that may be acquired or disposed of for the Fund. 7. Limitation of Liability of Manager. As an inducement to your undertaking to render services pursuant to this Agreement, the (Trust)(Corporation) agrees that you shall not be liable under this Agreement for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect you against any liability to the (Trust)(Corporation), the Fund or its shareholders to which you would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of your duties, or by reason of your reckless disregard of your obligations and duties hereunder. 8. Duration and Termination of This Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in force until September 30, 1999, and continue in force from year to year thereafter, but only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of the (Trustees) (Directors) who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any party to this Agreement, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by the Trustees of the (Trust)(Corporation), or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The aforesaid requirement that continuance of this Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually" shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or by the (Trust's)(Corporation's) Board of (Trustees)(Directors) on 60 days' written notice to you, or by you on 60 days' written notice to the (Trust)(Corporation). This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Board of (Trustees) (Directors) or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund in the event that it shall have been established by a court of competent jurisdiction that you or any of your officers or directors has taken any action which results in a breach of your covenants set forth herein. 9. Amendment of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be effective until approved in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and rules and regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom. A-6 48 (10. Limitation of Liability for Claims. The Declaration, a copy of which, together with all amendments thereto, is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provides that the name "[Name of Trust]" refers to the Trustees under the Declaration collectively as Trustees and not as individuals or personally, and that no shareholder of the Fund, or Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust, shall be subject to claims against or obligations of the Trust or of the Fund to any extent whatsoever, but that the Trust estate only shall be liable. You are hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of liability as set forth in the Declaration and you agree that the obligations assumed by the Trust on behalf of the Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Fund and its assets, and you shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Fund or any other series of the Trust, or from any Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust. You understand that the rights and obligations of each Fund, or series, under the Declaration are separate and distinct from those of any and all other series.) (11)(10). Miscellaneous.

WHEREAS, KEMPER __________ FUND, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Fund") is a management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940; [WHEREAS, THE FUND IS AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE SHARES IN A SEPARATE SERIES WITH EACH REPRESENTING THE INTERESTS IN A SEPARATE PORTFOLIO OF SECURITIES AND OTHER ASSETS;] WHEREAS, the Fund has retained the Adviser to render to it investment advisory and management services with regard to the [Fund's sole series][SERIES OF THE FUND KNOWN AS THE KEMPER WORLDWIDE 2004 FUND] (the "initial series") pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the Adviser desires at this time to retain the Sub-Adviser to render investment advisory and management services with respect to that portion of the portfolio of the Fund's initial series allocated to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser for management, including services related to foreign securities, foreign currency transactions and related investments, and the Sub-Adviser is willing to render such services; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows: 1.

The foregoing indemnification shall be in addition to any rights that the Adviser or the Fund may have at common law or otherwise.

The foregoing indemnification shall be in addition to any rights that the Sub-Adviser may have at common law or otherwise. The Adviser's agreements in this paragraph shall, upon the same terms and conditions, extend to and inure to the benefit of each person who may be deemed to control the Sub-Adviser, be controlled by the Sub-Adviser or be under common control with the Sub-Adviser and to each of the Sub-Adviser's and each such person's respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents.

(c) Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under paragraphs 9(a) and 9(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, or investigation for which indemnification will be sought, such indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may otherwise have to any indemnified party unless such omission results in actual material prejudice to the indemnifying party. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, individually or jointly with any other D-7 75 indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.

Survival. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder shall not be thereby affected. 11. Notices. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other party at such address as such other party may designate for the receipt of such notice. 12.
