Dear Shareholder:

 

imcf_top_margin7Thank you for investing with Investors Municipal Cash Fund. To provide you with an update of holdings and financial highlights, on the following pages you'll find the fund's shareholder report for its most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The fund series includes:

Briefly, for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2005, the fund's portfolios achieved their stated objectives of providing maximum current income while maintaining stability of capital.

Economic Review

Following months of reasonable GDP growth accompanied by stubbornly anemic jobs reports in late 2003/early 2004, the April 2004 nonfarm payroll report of 300,000 new jobs demonstrated that the US economy was in full recovery, meaning that the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) would soon begin to raise rates. This signaled a dramatic change for the fixed-income markets, including money market securities. It also indicated that the yield curve would steepen substantially, meaning that longer-term money market rates would move higher than shorter-term rates.1

1 Yield Curve — a graph with a left-to-right line that shows how high or low yields are, from the shortest to the longest maturities. Typically (and when the yield curve is characterized as ``steep'' this is especially true) the line rises from left to right as investors who are willing to tie up their money for a longer period of time are rewarded with higher yields.

With the job market seemingly back on track, the Fed began spelling out what came to be known as its "measured pace" policy. Under this policy, the Fed has been inching up the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (0.25%) at each of its seven policy meetings beginning in June 2004 through March 2005. At the close of the fund's fiscal year on March 31, 2005 the fed funds rate stood at 2.75%, up from 1.00% at the start of 2004.

In the second half of 2004, the US economic expansion displayed resiliency, maintaining a 4% growth rate while weathering a spike in oil prices up to $55 per barrel. As we moved into the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, corporate pricing power (the ability of companies to raise prices to boost profits while retaining market share) began to strengthen as inflationary pressures took hold. Monthly job growth remained an economic indicator for the market, but its focus gradually shifted to a careful watch for signs of increased inflation. In a dramatic rise in tax-free money market rates, the Bond Buyer One-Year Note Index began the fund's fiscal year at 1.04% on April 1, 2004, and closed the 12-month period at 2.64% on March 31, 2005.2

2 The Bond Buyer Index is comprised of 10 one-year municipal note issues. All note issues are rated MIG 1 by Moody's. The Index is issued by the Bond Buyer and updated weekly. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

During the 12-month period, we continued to focus on the highest-quality investments while seeking competitive yields across the municipal investment spectrum. During the period, the tax-free money markets were forced to adjust to dramatic changes in

Fund Results
As of March 31, 2005

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in them.

Yields are historical, will fluctuate and do not guarantee future performance. The 7-day current yield refers to the income paid by the portfolios over a 7-day period expressed as an annual percentage rate.

Please call for the most current yield information.

* Future declines in interest rate levels could cause the funds' earnings to fall below each fund's expense ratios, resulting in a negative yield. The advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive expenses as necessary to maintain a minimum distribution yield. This waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. Otherwise, the 7-day current average yields of the Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund would have been - -3.62%, -12.09%, 0.18%, 0.60% and -4.03%, respectively, as of March 31, 2005.

** The equivalent taxable yield allows you to compare each fund with the performance of taxable money market funds. The New York Fund equivalent taxable yield is based upon the fund's yield and an approximate combined Federal and State of New York income tax rate of 40.01%. The Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan Funds equivalent taxable yields are based upon the funds' yields and an approximate combined Federal and State marginal income tax rate of 37.00%, 40.83% and 37.60%, respectively. The Florida Fund equivalent taxable yield is based upon the fund's yield and 35.00% Federal income tax rate. Income may be subject to local taxes and for some investors, the alternative minimum tax.

supply, due to (1) the $15 billion of supply from California's Revenue Anticipation Notes and Revenue Anticipation Warrants that had entered the market back in October 2003, followed by (2) the sudden withdrawal of this supply from the market in June 2004 as California refunded the $15 billion of short-term debt, issuing longer-term debt in its place. It took over a month for the markets, and tax-exempt interest rates, to adjust after this significant withdrawal of supply. (A severe short-term squeeze on supply tends to push prices of tax-exempt money market securities higher, and their yields significantly lower.)

Another event that created a temporary imbalance in the tax-free money markets was Microsoft's $30 billion dividend paid in December 2004. Because of automated exchanges of some of this money from brokerage accounts into tax-free money market funds, this event created a surge in demand for floating-rate securities and put significant downward pressure on their yields. Eventually, year-end redemptions and new issuance brought supply and demand within the tax-exempt money market back into balance.

During the reporting period, we maintained a cautious stance by shifting weighted average maturity to the shorter end of our maturity spectrum. In addition, we continued to focus on the highest-quality investments while seeking competitive yields. In particular, we emphasized essential-services revenue issues and what is known as enhanced paper, i.e., securities guaranteed by a third party such as a bank or insurance company. Lastly, as a holder of insured municipal credits, we are carefully monitoring the recent investigations of municipal credit insurer MBIA by securities regulators. MBIA, the largest municipal securities insurance firm, has been the subject of inquiries over certain types of derivative securities trading it engaged in during 2002.

Sincerely,

Information About Each Fund's Expenses

 

imcf_top_margin6As an investor, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, each Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended March 31, 2005.

The tables illustrate each Fund's expenses in two ways:

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

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements  

 

imcf_top_margin01. Significant Accounting Policies

Investors Municipal Cash Fund (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust offers five series of shares — Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund (the "Funds").

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

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/ amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

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

During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund utilized approximately $2 of its capital loss carryforward. At March 31, 2005, the Funds had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward as follows, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first:

Distribution of Income. Net investment income of each Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book-to-tax differences for the Funds.

At March 31, 2005, the Funds' components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Expenses. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust based on net assets.

Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

2. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Funds. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The Funds pay a monthly investment management fee of 1/12 of the annual rate of 0.22% of the first $500,000,000 of the combined average daily net assets, 0.20% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.175% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets, 0.16% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets and 0.15% of such net assets in excess of $3,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the year ended March 31, 2005, the fees pursuant to the Management Agreement were equivalent to an annual effective rate of each Fund's average daily net assets as follows:

Under this arrangement, the Advisor waived its entire management fee and reimbursed the Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund and the Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund $7,672 and $49,804, respectively, for certain expenses for the year ended March 31, 2005.

In addition, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive expenses as necessary to maintain a minimum yield. This waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. Under these arrangements, for the year ended March 31, 2005, the Advisor reimbursed an additional $176 for expenses for Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund.

Service Provider Fees. Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer, dividend-paying and shareholder service agent of the Trust. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. SISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Funds. For the the year ended March 31, 2005, SISC received shareholder servicing fees as follows:

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

Insurance Brokerage Commissions. The Funds paid insurance premiums to an unaffiliated insurance broker in 2002 and 2003. This broker in turn paid a portion of its commissions to an affiliate of the Advisor, which performed certain insurance brokerage services for the broker. The Advisor has reimbursed the Funds for the portion of commissions (plus interest) paid to the affiliate of the Advisor attributable to the premiums paid by the Funds. The amounts for 2002 and 2003 were as follows:

4. Line of Credit

The Funds and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, pro rata based on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Funds may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of their net assets under the agreement.

5. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

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

6. Payments made by Affiliates

During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Advisor voluntarily reimbursed the Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund $1,707, the Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund $2,140, and the Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund $7,890 for losses on investments resulting from sales to fund a redemption request on October 26, 2004.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of
Trustees of Investors Municipal Cash Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Investors Municipal Cash Fund (comprising the Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund) (the "Funds"), as of March 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the year ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that

are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principals used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of March 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting Investors Municipal Cash Fund at March 31, 2005, and the results of their operations for the year ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 2.         CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period, March 31, 2005, Investors Municipal Cash Fund has
adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, that applies to
its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer.

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

A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.


ITEM 3.         AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

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

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

ITEM 4.         PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

                                       ***

E&Y recently advised the Fund's Audit Committee that various E&Y member
firms provided certain non-audit services to Deutsche Bank entities and
affiliates (collectively, the "DB entities") between 2003 and 2005 that raise
issues under the SEC auditor independence rules. The DB entities are within the
"Investment Company Complex" (as defined by SEC rules) and therefore covered by
the SEC auditor independence rules applicable to the Fund.

First, E&Y advised the Audit Committee that in connection with providing
permitted expatriate tax compliance services for DB entities during 2003 and
2004, member firms in China and Japan ("E&Y China" and "E&Y Japan,"
respectively) received funds from the DB entities that went into E&Y
"representative bank trust accounts" and were used to pay the foreign income
taxes of the expatriates. E&Y has advised the Audit Committee that handling
those funds was in violation of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. (Rule
2-01(c)(4)(viii) provides that an accountant's independence is impaired if the
accountant has custody of assets of the audit client.)



Second, E&Y advised the Audit Committee that in connection with providing
monthly payroll services to employees of certain DB entities from May 2003 to
February 2005, a member firm in Chile ("E&Y Chile") received funds from the
DB entities that went into an E&Y trust account and were used to pay the net
salaries and social security taxes of executives of the DB entities. E&Y has
advised the Audit Committee that handling those funds was in violation of Rule
2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Third, E&Y advised the Audit Committee that in connection with providing
certain services in assisting a DB entity with various regulatory reporting
requirements, a member firm in France ("E&Y France") entered into an
engagement with the DB entity that resulted in E&Y France staff functioning
under the direct responsibility and direction of a DB entity supervisor. E&Y
advised the Audit Committee that, although the services provided were "permitted
services" under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, the structure of the engagement was
in violation of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. (Rule 2-01(c)(4)(vi) provides that
an accountant's independence is impaired if the accountant acts as an employee
of an audit client.)

The Audit Committee was informed that E&Y China received approximately
$1,500, E&Y Japan received approximately $41,000, E&Y Chile received
approximately $11,724 and E&Y France received approximately $100,000 for the
services they provided to the DB entities. E&Y advised the Audit Committee
that it conducted an internal review of the situation and, in view of the fact
that similar expatriate tax compliance services were provided to a number of
E&Y audit clients unrelated to DB or the Fund, E&Y has advised the SEC
and the PCAOB of the independence issues arising from those services. E&Y
advised the Audit Committee that E&Y believes its independence as
independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund was not impaired
during the period the services were provided. In reaching this conclusion,
E&Y noted a number of factors, including that none of the E&Y personnel
who provided the non-audit services to the DB entities were involved in the
provision of audit services to the Fund, the E&Y professionals responsible
for the Fund's audits were not aware that these non-audit services took place,
and that the fees charged were not significant to E&Y overall or to the fees
charged to the Investment Company Complex. E&Y also noted that E&Y
China, E&Y Japan and E&Y Chile are no longer providing these services
and that the E&Y France engagement has been restructured.

charged to the Investment Company Complex. E&Y also noted that E&Y
China, E&Y Japan and E&Y Chile are no longer providing these services
and that the E&Y France engagement has been restructured.

                                       ***

E&Y recently advised the Fund's Audit Committee that various E&Y member
firms provided certain non-audit services to Deutsche Bank entities and
affiliates (collectively, the "DB entities") between 2003 and 2005 that raise
issues under the SEC auditor independence rules. The DB entities are within the
"Investment Company Complex" (as defined by SEC rules) and therefore covered by
the SEC auditor independence rules applicable to the Fund.

First, E&Y advised the Audit Committee that in connection with providing
permitted expatriate tax compliance services for DB entities during 2003 and
2004, member firms in China and Japan ("E&Y China" and "E&Y Japan,"
respectively) received funds from the DB entities that went into E&Y
"representative bank trust accounts" and were used to pay the foreign income
taxes of the expatriates. E&Y has advised the Audit Committee that handling
those funds was in violation of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. (Rule
2-01(c)(4)(viii) provides that an accountant's independence is impaired if the
accountant has custody of assets of the audit client.)



Second, E&Y advised the Audit Committee that in connection with providing
monthly payroll services to employees of certain DB entities from May 2003 to
February 2005, a member firm in Chile ("E&Y Chile") received funds from the
DB entities that went into an E&Y trust account and were used to pay the net
salaries and social security taxes of executives of the DB entities. E&Y has
advised the Audit Committee that handling those funds was in violation of Rule
2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Third, E&Y advised the Audit Committee that in connection with providing
certain services in assisting a DB entity with various regulatory reporting
requirements, a member firm in France ("E&Y France") entered into an
engagement with the DB entity that resulted in E&Y France staff functioning
under the direct responsibility and direction of a DB entity supervisor. E&Y
advised the Audit Committee that, although the services provided were "permitted
services" under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, the structure of the engagement was
in violation of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. (Rule 2-01(c)(4)(vi) provides that
an accountant's independence is impaired if the accountant acts as an employee
of an audit client.)

The Audit Committee was informed that E&Y China received approximately
$1,500, E&Y Japan received approximately $41,000, E&Y Chile received
approximately $11,724 and E&Y France received approximately $100,000 for the
services they provided to the DB entities. E&Y advised the Audit Committee
that it conducted an internal review of the situation and, in view of the fact
that similar expatriate tax compliance services were provided to a number of
E&Y audit clients unrelated to DB or the Fund, E&Y has advised the SEC
and the PCAOB of the independence issues arising from those services. E&Y
advised the Audit Committee that E&Y believes its independence as
independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund was not impaired
during the period the services were provided. In reaching this conclusion,
E&Y noted a number of factors, including that none of the E&Y personnel
who provided the non-audit services to the DB entities were involved in the
provision of audit services to the Fund, the E&Y professionals responsible
for the Fund's audits were not aware that these non-audit services took place,
and that the fees charged were not significant to E&Y overall or to the fees
charged to the Investment Company Complex. E&Y also noted that E&Y
China, E&Y Japan and E&Y Chile are no longer providing these services
and that the E&Y France engagement has been restructured.

2 I. Overview This Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer Code of Ethics ("Officer Code") sets forth the policies, practices, and values expected to be exhibited in the conduct of the Principal Executive Officers and Principal Financial Officers of the investment companies ("Funds") they serve ("Covered Officers"). A list of Covered Officers and Funds is included on Appendix A. The Boards of the Funds listed on Appendix A have elected to implement the Officer Code, pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC's rules thereunder, to promote and demonstrate honest and ethical conduct in their Covered Officers. Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. or its affiliates ("DeAM") serves as the investment adviser to each Fund. All Covered Officers are also employees of DeAM or an affiliate. Thus, in addition to adhering to the Officer Code, these individuals must comply with DeAM policies and procedures, such as the DeAM Code of Ethics governing personal trading activities, as adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.^1 In addition, such individuals also must comply with other applicable Fund policies and procedures. The DeAM Compliance Officer, who shall not be a Covered Officer and who shall serve as such subject to the approval of the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), is primarily responsible for implementing and enforcing this Code. The Compliance Officer has the authority to interpret this Officer Code and its applicability to particular circumstances. Any questions about the Officer Code should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer. The DeAM Compliance Officer and his or her contact information can be found in Appendix A. II. Purposes of the Officer Code The purposes of the Officer Code are to deter wrongdoing and to: o promote honest and ethical conduct among Covered Officers, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; o promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures in reports and documents that the Funds file with or submit to the SEC (and in other public communications from the Funds) and that are within the Covered Officer's responsibilities; o promote compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; o encourage the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Officer Code to the DeAM Compliance Officer; and o establish accountability for adherence to the Officer Code. Any questions about the Officer Code should be referred to DeAM's Compliance Officer. - -------- ^1 The obligations imposed by the Officer Code are separate from, and in addition to, any obligations imposed under codes of ethics adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and any other code of conduct applicable to Covered Officers in whatever capacity they serve. The Officer Code does not incorporate any of those other codes and, accordingly, violations of those codes will not necessarily be considered violations of the Officer Code and waivers granted under those codes would not necessarily require a waiver to be granted under this Code. Sanctions imposed under those codes may be considered in determining appropriate sanctions for any violation of this Code. 3 III. Responsibilities of Covered Officers A. Honest and Ethical Conduct It is the duty of every Covered Officer to encourage and demonstrate honest and ethical conduct, as well as adhere to and require adherence to the Officer Code and any other applicable policies and procedures designed to promote this behavior. Covered Officers must at all times conduct themselves with integrity and distinction, putting first the interests of the Fund(s) they serve. Covered Officers must be honest and candid while maintaining confidentiality of information where required by law, DeAM policy or Fund policy. Covered Officers also must, at all times, act in good faith, responsibly and with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting or being misleading about material facts or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated. Covered Officers also should maintain skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of their duties for the Fund(s). Covered Officers also must responsibly use and control all Fund assets and resources entrusted to them. Covered Officers may not retaliate against others for, or otherwise discourage the reporting of, actual or apparent violations of the Officer Code or applicable laws or regulations. Covered Officers should create an environment that encourages the exchange of information, including concerns of the type that this Code is designed to address. B. Conflicts of Interest A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's personal interests interfere with the interests of the Fund for which he or she serves as an officer. Covered Officers may not improperly use their position with a Fund for personal or private gain to themselves, their family, or any other person. Similarly, Covered Officers may not use their personal influence or personal relationships to influence decisions or other Fund business or operational matters where they would benefit personally at the Fund's expense or to the Fund's detriment. Covered Officers may not cause the Fund to take action, or refrain from taking action, for their personal benefit at the Fund's expense or to the Fund's detriment. Some examples of conflicts of interest follow (this is not an all-inclusive list): being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any immediate family member who is an employee of a Fund service provider or is otherwise associated with the Fund; or having an ownership interest in, or having any consulting or employment relationship with, any Fund service provider other than DeAM or its affiliates. Certain conflicts of interest covered by this Code arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund that already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Fund. Covered Officers must comply with applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, any violations of existing statutory and regulatory prohibitions on individual behavior could be considered a violation of this Code. As to conflicts arising from, or as a result of the advisory relationship (or any other relationships) between the Fund and DeAM, of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees, it is recognized by the Board that, subject to DeAM's fiduciary duties to the Fund, the Covered Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for DeAM, or for both) be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on 4 DeAM and the Fund. The Board recognizes that the participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contract relationship between the Fund and DeAM, and is consistent with the expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Covered Officers should avoid actual conflicts of interest, and appearances of conflicts of interest, between the Covered Officer's duties to the Fund and his or her personal interests beyond those contemplated or anticipated by applicable regulatory schemes. If a Covered Officer suspects or knows of a conflict or an appearance of one, the Covered Officer must immediately report the matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer. If a Covered Officer, in lieu of reporting such a matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer, may report the matter directly to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), as appropriate (e.g., if the conflict involves the DeAM Compliance Officer or the Covered Officer reasonably believes it would be futile to report the matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer). When actual, apparent or suspected conflicts of interest arise in connection with a Covered Officer, DeAM personnel aware of the matter should promptly contact the DeAM Compliance Officer. There will be no reprisal or retaliation against the person reporting the matter. Upon receipt of a report of a possible conflict, the DeAM Compliance Officer will take steps to determine whether a conflict exists. In so doing, the DeAM Compliance Officer may take any actions he or she determines to be appropriate in his or her sole discretion and may use all reasonable resources, including retaining or engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants, subject to applicable law.^2 The costs associated with such actions may be borne by the Fund, if appropriate, after consultation with the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). Otherwise, such costs will be borne by DeAM or other appropriate Fund service provider. After full review of a report of a possible conflict of interest, the DeAM Compliance Officer may determine that no conflict or reasonable appearance of a conflict exists. If, however, the DeAM Compliance Officer determines that an actual conflict exists, the Compliance Officer will resolve the conflict solely in the interests of the Fund, and will report the conflict and its resolution to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). If the DeAM Compliance Officer determines that the appearance of a conflict exists, the DeAM Compliance Officer will take appropriate steps to remedy such appearance. In lieu of determining whether a conflict exists and/or resolving a conflict, the DeAM Compliance Officer instead may refer the matter to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), as appropriate. However, the DeAM Compliance Officer must refer the matter to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) if the DeAM Compliance Officer is directly involved in the conflict or under similar appropriate circumstances. After responding to a report of a possible conflict of interest, the DeAM Compliance Officer will discuss the matter with the person reporting it (and with the Covered Officer at issue, if different) for purposes of educating those involved on conflicts of interests (including how to detect and avoid them, if appropriate). Appropriate resolution of conflicts may restrict the personal activities of the Covered Officer and/or his family, friends or other persons. Solely because a conflict is disclosed to the DeAM Compliance Officer (and/or the Board or Committee thereof) and/or resolved by the DeAM Compliance Officer does not mean that the conflict or its resolution constitutes a waiver from the Code's requirements. - -------- ^2 For example, retaining a Fund's independent accounting firm may require pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee. 5 Any questions about conflicts of interests, including whether a particular situation might be a conflict or an appearance of one, should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer. C. Use of Personal Fund Shareholder Information A Covered Officer may not use or disclose personal information about Fund shareholders, except in the performance of his or her duties for the Fund. Each Covered Officer also must abide by the Funds' and DeAM's privacy policies under SEC Regulation S-P. D. Public Communications In connection with his or her responsibilities for or involvement with a Fund's public communications and disclosure documents (e.g., shareholder reports, registration statements, press releases), each Covered Officer must provide information to Fund service providers (within the DeAM organization or otherwise) and to the Fund's Board (and any committees thereof), independent auditors, government regulators and self-regulatory organizations that is fair, accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable. Further, within the scope of their duties, Covered Officers having direct or supervisory authority over Fund disclosure documents or other public Fund communications will, to the extent appropriate within their area of responsibility, endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate and understandable disclosure in Fund disclosure documents. Such Covered Officers will oversee, or appoint others to oversee, processes for the timely and accurate creation and review of all public reports and regulatory filings. Within the scope of his or her responsibilities as a Covered Officer, each Covered Officer also will familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Fund, as well as the business and financial operations of the Fund. Each Covered Officer also will adhere to, and will promote adherence to, applicable disclosure controls, processes and procedures, including DeAM's Disclosure Controls and Procedures, which govern the process by which Fund disclosure documents are created and reviewed. To the extent that Covered Officers participate in the creation of a Fund's books or records, they must do so in a way that promotes the accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records. E. Compliance with Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations In connection with his or her duties and within the scope of his or her responsibilities as a Covered Officer, each Covered Officer must comply with governmental laws, rules and regulations, accounting standards, and Fund policies/procedures that apply to his or her role, responsibilities and duties with respect to the Funds ("Applicable Laws"). These requirements do not impose on Covered Officers any additional substantive duties. Additionally, Covered Officers should promote compliance with Applicable Laws. If a Covered Officer knows of any material violations of Applicable Laws or suspects that such a violation may have occurred, the Covered Officer is expected to promptly report the matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer. 6 IV. Violation Reporting A. Overview Each Covered Officer must promptly report to the DeAM Compliance Officer, and promote the reporting of, any known or suspected violations of the Officer Code. Failure to report a violation may be a violation of the Officer Code. Examples of violations of the Officer Code include, but are not limited to, the following: o Unethical or dishonest behavior o Obvious lack of adherence to policies surrounding review and approval of public communications and regulatory filings o Failure to report violations of the Officer Code o Known or obvious deviations from Applicable Laws o Failure to acknowledge and certify adherence to the Officer Code The DeAM Compliance Officer has the authority to take any and all action he or she considers appropriate in his or her sole discretion to investigate known or suspected Code violations, including consulting with the Fund's Board, the independent Board members, a Board committee, the Fund's legal counsel and/or counsel to the independent Board members. The Compliance Officer also has the authority to use all reasonable resources to investigate violations, including retaining or engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants, subject to applicable law.^3 The costs associated with such actions may be borne by the Fund, if appropriate, after consultation with the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). Otherwise, such costs will be borne by DeAM. B. How to Report Any known or suspected violations of the Officer Code must be promptly reported to the DeAM Compliance Officer. C. Process for Violation Reporting to the Fund Board The DeAM Compliance Officer will promptly report any violations of the Code to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). D. Sanctions for Code Violations Violations of the Code will be taken seriously. In response to reported or otherwise known violations, DeAM and the relevant Fund's Board may impose sanctions within the scope of their respective authority over the Covered Officer at issue. Sanctions imposed by DeAM could include termination of employment. Sanctions imposed by a Fund's Board could include termination of association with the Fund. V. Waivers from the Officer Code A Covered Officer may request a waiver from the Officer Code by transmitting a written request for a waiver to the DeAM Compliance Officer.^4 The request must include the rationale for the request and must explain how the waiver would be in furtherance of the standards of conduct described in and underlying purposes of the Officer Code. The DeAM Compliance Officer will present this information - -------- ^3 For example, retaining a Fund's independent accounting firm may require pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee. ^4 Of course, it is not a waiver of the Officer Code if the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) determines that a matter is not a deviation from the Officer Code's requirements or is otherwise not covered by the Code. 7 to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). The Board (or committee) will determine whether to grant the requested waiver. If the Board (or committee) grants the requested waiver, the DeAM Compliance Officer thereafter will monitor the activities subject to the waiver, as appropriate, and will promptly report to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) regarding such activities, as appropriate. The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required public disclosures of any waivers granted or any implicit waivers. VI. Amendments to the Code The DeAM Compliance Officer will review the Officer Code from time to time for its continued appropriateness and will propose any amendments to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) on a timely basis. In addition, the Board (or committee thereof) will review the Officer Code at least annually for its continued appropriateness and may amend the Code as necessary or appropriate. The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required public disclosures of Code amendments. VII. Acknowledgement and Certification of Adherence to the Officer Code Each Covered Officer must sign a statement upon appointment as a Covered Officer and annually thereafter acknowledging that he or she has received and read the Officer Code, as amended or updated, and confirming that he or she has complied with it (see Appendix B: Acknowledgement and Certification of Obligations Under the Officer Code). Understanding and complying with the Officer Code and truthfully completing the Acknowledgement and Certification Form is each Covered Officer's obligation. The DeAM Compliance Officer will maintain such Acknowledgements in the Fund's books and records. VIII. Scope of Responsibilities A Covered Officer's responsibilities under the Officer Code are limited to: (1) Fund matters over which the Officer has direct responsibility or control, matters in which the Officer routinely participates, and matters with which the Officer is otherwise involved (i.e., matters within the scope of the Covered Officer's responsibilities as a Fund officer); and (2) Fund matters of which the Officer has actual knowledge. IX. Recordkeeping The DeAM Compliance Officer will create and maintain appropriate records regarding the implementation and operation of the Officer Code, including records relating to conflicts of interest determinations and investigations of possible Code violations. 8 X.
