Performance Summary March 31, 2005

Classes A, B, C, R and Institutional

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

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

To discourage short-term trading, shareholders redeeming shares held less than 15 days will have a lower total return due to the effect of 2% short-term redemption fee.

Returns and rankings for 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods for Class B and C shares and during all periods for Class R shares reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement returns and rankings would have been lower.

Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns and rankings may differ by share class.

Returns shown prior to its inception on August 2, 1999 for Class A shares, prior to their inception on December 29, 2000 for Class B and C shares and prior to its inception on November 3, 2003 for Class R shares are derived from the historical performance of Class S shares of the Scudder Growth and Income Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses of each specific class. Any difference in expenses will affect performance. Class S shares are no longer available to new investors except under certain circumstances. (Please refer to the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.)

Information About Your Fund's Expenses

As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, Class R shares of the 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 your Fund's expenses in two ways:

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

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

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

Portfolio Management Review

In the following interview, Lead Portfolio Manager Theresa Gusman addresses the economy, the management team's approach and the resulting performance of Scudder Growth and Income Fund for the six-month period October 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. Gusman took the helm on April 1, 2005, replacing former Lead Portfolio Manager Greg Adams.

Q:  How would you characterize the market environment during the period?

A:A confluence of political and economic issues, including rising short-term interest rates, sustained high energy prices and dollar weakness, created a challenging investment environment for Scudder Growth and Income Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2005.

Despite per-barrel oil prices that approached historic highs, the period got off to a strong start with the reelection of President George W. Bush in November. The Republican victory lifted nearly all sectors of the stock market, which logged robust gains through the end of the calendar year. Against a backdrop of strong stock market performance, the dollar fell. Reaching a new low against the euro during the period, dollar weakness effectively increased profits for US exporters.

During the second half of the period, however, growing concerns about rising interest rates, elevated energy prices and a slowdown in the economy dampened investor enthusiasm. January, in which stocks tend to rally on prospects for a new year, was uncharacteristically weak. And although the market finished comfortably higher in February, driven by the strong performance of energy stocks, rising per-barrel oil prices and inflationary fears ultimately kept investors on the sidelines. The Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) in March released a statement in which it observed inflationary pressure on the economy and reiterated its plan to continue to increase short-term interest rates at a measured pace.

Q:  How did the fund perform during the period?

A:Scudder Growth and Income Fund Class A shares posted a total return of 6.44% for the six months ended March 31, 2005. (Returns are unadjusted for sales charges. If sales charges had been included, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please see pages 3 through 7 for the performance of other share classes and more complete performance information.) The fund's return was slightly above the 6.21% average total return of its peers in the Large-Cap Core Funds category,¹ as tracked by Lipper Inc., but fell shy of the 6.88% return of its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index,² for the same period.

¹ Large-Cap Core Funds are those that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) of greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index. Large-Cap Core Funds have wide latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds normally will have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio and three-year earnings growth figure that compares with the US diversified large-cap funds universe average.

² The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

Q:  Which stocks or industry sectors contributed most to fund performance?

A:Fueled by seasonal demand and growing concern about supply shortages, crude oil and natural gas prices climbed during the period. Energy stocks rose nearly across the board, driving absolute performance. Integrated oil giant ExxonMobil Corp. was the portfolio's largest position, accounting for 4.52% of the fund's market value as of March 31, 2005. Other energy holdings also performed well, contributing powerfully to absolute results, including EnCana Corp., a Canadian oil and natural gas production company; ChevronTexaco Corp., an integrated oil company; and Devon Energy Corp., an independent energy company engaged primarily in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

The materials, utilities and financials services sectors contributed most to fund performance on a relative basis. Materials added to performance based primarily on the strength of Monsanto Co., a global provider of agricultural products and integrated solutions for farmers. Monsanto saw a substantial increase in net sales, as well as improved profits and operating margins.

Among utilities, the portfolio's holdings performed very well amid a backdrop of higher energy prices, strong earnings reports and increased dividends. Notable were the performances of Exelon Corp. (a public utility holding company) and TXU Corp. (an energy company).

While the portfolio maintained a slight underweight (proportionately smaller) position in the financial services sector as compared to the benchmark S&P 500, it carried a comparative overweight in capital markets stocks (stocks of companies operating within the financial markets). This overweight was based on our assumption that mergers and acquisitions (M&A) would accelerate, which benefits investment banks that help advise companies throughout the process. We did, in fact, see a marked increase in M&A activity during December 2004, when several high-profile deals were made public. Investors viewed the increased activity as a positive indicator of prospects for investment banks during 2005. Several of the portfolio's holdings consequently benefited, including Morgan Stanley, which also was among the 10 largest holdings during the period, and Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.

Consumer discretionary stocks also contributed to relative performance, as strategic underweightings helped to avoid much of the weakness in the sector. A lack of exposure to eBay proved beneficial, as the stock fell on lowered 2005 expectations and a patent-infringement ruling. In addition, avoiding the automobile industry, in which General Motors and Ford Motor saw very weak quarters, proved positive for the portfolio. The Gap, Inc., a retailing stock, finished higher, also helping return.

An additional one-time event was Microsoft Corp.'s declaration of a $3.00 per share special dividend, which was paid out in December 2004.

Q:  Which stocks or industry sectors detracted from performance?

A:Information technology, in which the fund was overweight as compared to the benchmark, was the portfolio's worst relative performer. Much of the underperformance was due to computer companies. The fund had no position in Apple Computer, which skyrocketed as sales showed strong growth or to Hewlett-Packard, which rallied in part, after naming a new CEO. Further, the portfolio's stake in Microsoft Corp. finished lower as the European Union threatened it with fines over antitrust compliance. A bright spot for the portfolio in the sector was VERITAS Software Corp., which saw gains after the announcement that it would be purchased by security software firm Symantec.

Despite robust gains in holdings including pharmaceutical services company Caremark Rx, Inc. and commercial health benefits provider WellPoint, Inc., the portfolio's stake in health care detracted from performance overall. The fund held a proportionately smaller share of health care providers and service companies than the benchmark index. These rallied, along with insurers, after the reelection of President Bush. The Republican administration was widely perceived by investors as fostering a more favorable regulatory environment than the would-be Kerry administration.

The poor performance of machinery and air freight stocks pushed industrials lower.

Q:  What are your plans to add value to the fund's investment process?

A:In April 2005, we introduced enhancements to the portfolio to provide shareholders with the opportunity to benefit more fully from our research insights. Fundamental research is Scudder's competitive advantage, and stock selection is our primary source of alpha (superior performance relative to the benchmark). This enhancement therefore combines our proprietary equity research platform with objective portfolio construction to create a portfolio intended to produce consistent, competitive investment performance over the long term.

The portfolio seeks to bring together the top US equity research recommendations of the advisor into a single investment portfolio. In managing the portfolio, each of the advisor's US equity analysts individually assigns qualitative ratings to stocks under their coverage using bottom-up analysis and looking for companies with strong prospects for continued growth of capital and earnings. Using criteria specifically designed for the portfolio by the advisor, as well as the investment parameters of the portfolio and risk management considerations, a quantitative model compiles these research analyst ratings into a proposed list of stocks for the portfolio and suggests appropriate weightings for each stock.

Making adjustments where necessary, the managers normally will buy and sell securities in accordance with the model's, and hence the research analysts', recommendations. In addition to the risk management criteria inherent in the portfolio construction process, the managers use analytical tools to monitor the risk profile of the portfolio relative to comparable portfolios and appropriate benchmarks and peer groups.

As part of this enhancement, Theresa Gusman and Greg Sivin have assumed management of the strategy, replacing Gregory Adams and Andrew Brudenell.

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

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder Growth and Income Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Investment Trust (the "Trust") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which provide investors with different purchase options. Class A shares are offered to investors subject to an initial sales charge. Class B shares are offered without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years after issuance. Class C shares are offered to investors without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within one year of purchase. Class C shares do not convert into another class. Institutional Class shares are offered to a limited group of investors, are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges and have lower ongoing expenses than other classes. Class R shares are only available to participants in certain retirement plans and are offered to investors without an initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Shares of Class AARP are designed for members of AARP. Class AARP and Class S shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges. Class S shares are no longer available to new investors except under certain circumstances. (Please refer to the Fund's Statement of Additional Information).

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

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

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

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

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

Options. An option contract is a contract in which the writer of the option grants the buyer of the option the right to purchase from (call option), or sell to (put option), the writer a designated instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time. Certain options, including options on indices, will require cash settlement by the Fund if the option is exercised. The Fund may enter into option contracts in order to hedge against potential adverse price movements in the value of portfolio assets; as a temporary substitute for selling selected investments; to lock in the purchase price of a security or currency which it expects to purchase in the near future; as a temporary substitute for purchasing selected investments; and to enhance potential gain.

The liability representing the Fund's obligation under an exchange traded written option or investment in a purchased option is valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices or at the most recent asked price (bid for purchased options) if no bid and asked price are available. Over-the-counter written or purchased options are valued using dealer supplied quotations. Gain or loss is recognized when the option contract expires or is closed.

If the Fund writes a covered call option, the Fund foregoes, in exchange for the premium, the opportunity to profit during the option period from an increase in the value of the underlying security above the exercise price. If the Fund writes a put option it accepts the risk of a decline in the value of the underlying security below the exercise price. Over-the-counter options have the risk of the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund's maximum exposure to purchased options is limited to the premium initially paid. In addition, certain risks may arise upon entering into option contracts including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Fund's ability to close out an option contract prior to the expiration date and that a change in the value of the option contract may not correlate exactly with changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged.

Securities Lending. The Fund may lend securities to financial institutions. The Fund retains beneficial ownership of the securities it has loaned and continues to receive interest and dividends paid by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The Fund may invest the cash collateral into a joint trading account in an affiliated money market fund pursuant to Exemptive Order issued by the SEC. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral net of fees paid to the lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan. The Fund is subject to all investment risks associated with the value of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in US dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the disposition of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed but is included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.

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

At September 30, 2004, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $369,800,000 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until September 30, 2010 ($69,900,000) and September 30, 2011 ($299,900,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first, and which may be subject to certain limitations under Sections 382-384 of the Internal Revenue Code.

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

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

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Redemption Fees. Effective February 1, 2005, the Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2% of the total redemption amount on the Fund shares redeemed or exchanged within 15 days of buying them, either by purchase or exchange. This fee is assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in-capital.

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.

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

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment security transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the six months ended March 31, 2005, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $524,562,501 and $756,135,431, respectively.

For the six months ended March 31, 2005, transactions for written call options on securities were as follows:

	Contract Amounts	Premium

Options written	3,828	325,827
Options expired	(3,101)	(252,399)
Options closed	(727)	(73,428)
Outstanding, end of period	—	$ —

C. 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 Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The management fee payable under the Management Agreement is equal to an annual rate of 0.45% of the first $14,000,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.425% of the next $2,000,000,000 of such net assets, 0.400% of the next $2,000,000,000 of such net assets and 0.385% of such net assets in excess of $18,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the six months ended March 31, 2005, the fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annualized effective rate of 0.45% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Effective October 1, 2003 through January 31, 2006, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses of each class at 0.95%, 0.97%, 0.96%, 0.81%, 0.94% and 0.73%, of average daily net assets for Class A, B, C, AARP, S and Institutional Class shares, respectively (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest, Rule 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, trustee and trustee counsel fees, and organizational and offering expenses). For Class R shares, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay operating expenses at 1.45%, excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest and trustee and trustee counsel fees. This expense cap will remain in effect until January 31, 2006.

Service Provider Fees. Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer, dividend-paying and shareholder service agent for Class A, B, C, R and Institutional Class shares of the Fund. Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of the Advisor, is the transfer, dividend-paying and shareholder service agent for Class AARP and S shares of the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement among SISC, SSC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), SISC and SSC have delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. SISC and SSC compensate DST out of the shareholder servicing fee they receive from the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2005, the amounts charged to the Fund by SISC and SSC were as follows:

Services to Shareholders	Total Aggregated	Waived	Unpaid at March 31, 2005
Class A	$ 55,104	$ —	$ 34,330
Class B	23,660	—	22,205
Class C	9,842	—	8,647
Class R	1,386	152	2,149
Class AARP	2,020,200	—	1,372,333
Class S	1,842,400	—	1,322,965
Institutional Class	18,844	—	11,095
	$ 3,971,436	$ 152	$ 2,773,724

Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is responsible for computing the daily net asset value per share and maintaining the portfolio and general accounting records of the Fund. SFAC has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company to provide certain administrative, fund accounting and record-keeping services to the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2005, the amount charged to the Fund by SFAC for accounting services aggregated $71,077, all of which is unpaid at March 31, 2005.

Distribution Service Agreement. Under the Distribution Service Agreement, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("SDI"), a subsidiary of the Advisor, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.75% of average daily net assets of Class B and C shares and 0.25% of average daily net assets for Class R shares. Pursuant to the agreement, SDI enters into related selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of Class B, C and R shares. For the six months ended March 31, 2005 the Distribution Fee was as follows:

Distribution Fee	Total Aggregated	Unpaid at March 31, 2005
Class B	$ 39,486	$ 6,286
Class C	18,507	3,087
Class R	651	133
	$ 58,644	$ 9,506

In addition, SDI provides information and administrative services ("Service Fee") to Class A, B, C and R shareholders at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets for each such class. SDI in turn has various agreements with financial services firms that provide these services and pays these fees based upon the assets of shareholder accounts the firms service. For the six months ended March 31, 2005 the Service Fee was as follows:

Service Fee	Total Aggregated	Unpaid at March 31, 2005	Annualized Effective Rate
Class A	$ 36,285	$ 14,428	.21%
Class B	12,486	2,956	.24%
Class C	6,021	2,029	.24%
Class R	604	429	.23%
	$ 55,396	$ 19,842

Underwriting Agreement and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. SDI is the principal underwriter for the Fund. Underwriting commissions paid in connection with the distribution of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2005 aggregated $8,733.

In addition, SDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of purchase. There is no such charge upon redemption of any share appreciation or reinvested dividends. The CDSC is based on declining rates ranging from 4% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the value of the shares redeemed. For the six months ended March 31, 2005, the CDSC for Class B and C shares aggregated $21,740 and $28, respectively.

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

Scudder Cash Management QP Trust. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund may invest in the Scudder Cash Management QP Trust (the "QP Trust") and other affiliated funds managed by the Advisor. The QP Trust seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The QP Trust does not pay the Advisor a management fee for the affiliated funds' investments in the QP Trust.

Other Related Parties. AARP through its affiliate, AARP Services, Inc., monitors and oversees the AARP Investment Program from Scudder Investments, but does not act as an investment advisor or recommend specific mutual funds. DeIM has agreed to pay a fee to AARP and/or its affiliates in return for the use of the AARP trademark and services relating to investments by AARP members in AARP Class shares of the Fund. This fee is calculated on a daily basis as a percentage of the combined net assets of the AARP classes of all funds managed by DeIM. The fee rates, which decrease as the aggregate net assets of the AARP classes become larger, are as follows: 0.07% for the first $6 billion of net assets, 0.06% for the next $10 billion of such net assets and 0.05% of such net assets thereafter. These amounts are used for the general purposes of AARP and its members.

Insurance Brokerage Commissions. The Fund 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 Fund for the portion of commissions (plus interest) paid to the affiliate of the Advisor attributable to the premiums paid by the Fund. The amounts for 2002 and 2003 were $1,711 and $1,554, respectively.

D. Expense Reductions

For the six months ended March 31, 2005, the Advisor agreed to reimburse the Fund $27,332, which represents a portion of the fee savings expected to be realized by the Advisor related to the outsourcing by the Advisor of certain administrative services to an unaffiliated service provider.

In addition, the Fund has entered into an arrangement with its custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the Fund's custodian expenses. During the six months ended March 31, 2005, the custodian fees were reduced by $3,218 for custodian credits earned.

E. Line of Credit

The Fund and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. At March 31, 2005, $3,600,000 was outstanding. Interest expense incurred on the borrowings amounted to $1,160 for the six months ended March 31, 2005. The average dollar amount of the borrowings was $4,040,000 and the weighted average interest rate on these borrowings was 2.10%.

G. 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.

Investment Management Agreement Approval

At its December 13, 2004 meeting, the Trust's Board considered a proposal by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (the "Advisor"), the investment advisor to the Scudder Growth and Income Fund (the "Fund"), that the Fund acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of Scudder Focus Value + Growth Fund, which we refer to as a "merger" between the similar funds. In connection with the proposed merger, the Advisor proposed that the Board approve for the Fund a new, more favorable management fee schedule designed to reflect additional economies of scale attributable to the larger asset size of the Fund resulting from the merger.

The Board normally considers the renewal of the Fund's investment management agreement annually pursuant to a comprehensive review process that most recently concluded at the Board's August 10, 2004 meeting. The Advisor's proposal for a new management fee schedule in connection with the merger was made on December 13, 2004. As the Advisor represented to the Board that the new fee schedule would have no effect on the quality or nature of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund or any other factors considered by the Board in connection with their August 10, 2004 renewal, the scope of the Board's review of the investment management agreement was limited to the consideration of the new management fee schedule. The Board concluded that the economies of scale to be enjoyed by the Advisor as a result of the merger were appropriately reflected by the proposed management fee schedule and determined to approve the new investment management agreement, which would take effect upon completion of the Fund's merger. The Board will conduct its annual comprehensive review of the Advisor's investment management agreement for the Fund in the summer of 2005.
