This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. To obtain a prospectus for any of our funds, refer to the Account Management Resources information provided in the back of this booklet. We advise you to consider the fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the fund. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Diversification does not eliminate risk. The portfolios are subject to stock market risk, meaning stocks in the underlying funds may decline in value for extended periods of time due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies, or due to general market and economic conditions. Asset allocation risk: although asset allocation among different asset classes generally limits risk and exposure to any one class, the risk remains that the investment advisor may favor an asset class that performs poorly relative to the other asset classes. Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes and market risks. The underlying funds invest in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. Bond investments are subject to interest rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of the bonds, and thus the value of the fund, can decline and the investor can lose principal value. Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities, and the portfolios could suffer losses on an underlying fund's derivative position. Please read each portfolio's prospectus for specific details regarding its risk profile.

Scudder Investments is part of Deutsche Asset Management, which is the marketing name in the US for the asset management activities of Deutsche Bank AG, Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc., Deutsche Asset Management Inc., Deutsche Asset Management Investment Services Ltd., Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and Scudder Trust Company.

Fund shares are not FDIC-insured and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any bank. Fund shares involve investment risk, including possible loss of principal.

Performance Summaries August 31, 2005

Pathway Conservative Portfolio

Classes A, B and C

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

Returns and rankings during all periods shown reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement for the Pathway Conservative Portfolio as well as for some underlying funds. Without these waivers/reimbursements, returns and rankings would have been lower.

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

Returns shown for Class A, B and C shares for the periods prior to their inception on December 29, 2000 are derived from the historical performance of Class S shares of the Scudder Pathway Series: Conservative Portfolio during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross annual total 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 Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information.)

Class AARP has been created especially for members of AARP. Class S shares are no longer available to new investors except under certain circumstances. (Please refer to the Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information.)

All performance shown is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions, 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 aarp.scudder.com (Class AARP) or myScudder.com (Class S) for the Portfolio's most recent month-end performance. To discourage short-term trading, shareholders redeeming shares held less than 15 days will have a lower total return due to the effect of the 2% short-term redemption fee.

Returns shown for Class AARP shares for the period prior to its inception on September 25, 2000 are derived from the historical performance of Class S shares of Scudder Pathway Series: Conservative Portfolio during such periods and have assumed the same expense structure during such periods.

Information About Each Portfolio's Expenses

As an investor, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio 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 Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio's shareholders indirectly bear the expense of the Underlying Scudder Funds in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio's estimated indirect expense from investing in the Underlying Scudder Funds is based on its allocation of Underlying Scudder Funds. In the most recent six-month period, Class A, B, C, AARP (excluding Class C and AARP for the Pathway Moderate Portfolio) and S shares limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. In addition, certain of the Underlying Scudder Funds limited expenses; had they 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 August 31, 2005.

The tables illustrate your Portfolio's expenses in two ways:

Actual Portfolio Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio'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% Portfolio Return. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio'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.

In the following interview, Co-Managers Janet Campagna, Robert Wang and Inna Okounkova and Investment Strategist Arnim Holzer address the economy, markets, portfolio management strategy and resulting performance of Scudder Pathway Portfolios during the period ended August 31, 2005.

Q: Will you describe the major global economic and political developments over the last year and how they are affecting world markets?

A: Energy has been much in the news over the last year. Energy prices and supply/demand are driven by a variety of interrelated political and economic factors and can have a major impact on economic growth. After a slow grind upward through much of 2004 and 2005, oil prices spiked as the damaging effects of Hurricane Katrina on the US oil industry became evident. Oil prices began to have a powerful influence on financial markets at the very end of the period covered by this report, as equities sold off and bonds rallied strongly on fears that rapidly rising gasoline prices would dampen spending by US consumers.

There have been many ups and downs in the economy and markets over the last year. As the period covered by this report began in September 2004, there was considerable concern regarding whether the expansion of the US economy could be sustained, and many observers believed that a slowdown was about to begin. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we began to see more positive economic reports: Stronger-than-expected economic growth was reported for the third quarter, employment numbers began to look more favorable and the corporate sector appeared to be strengthening. As a result, the stock market rallied in November and December.

In the early months of 2005, uncertainty about the sustainability of economic growth mounted again. The anticipation of a slowing economy, together with concerns over the Federal Reserve Board's (the Fed) continued interest rate tightening and rising commodity prices, resulted in general weakness and negative returns in the first quarter of the calendar year.

As the year progressed, economic news again turned more positive. There was increasing evidence that the economic expansion would continue, as consumer spending and business investment remained strong, and corporate earnings reports were generally favorable.

European indicators have been negative over most of the last year, although there has been recent improvement in export-related trends. Corporate restructurings are the main source of earnings growth in Europe at present. Although fiscal irresponsibility and squabbling among nations is putting pressure on the European Monetary Union (EMU), few observers believe that an EMU breakup is likely.

Economies in the Asia/Pacific region look fairly strong, as recovery from the Chinese central bank's earlier tightening measures continues. Recent decisions by the Chinese government, especially the revaluation of the yuan, indicate a commitment by the country to continue as a major exporter of manufactured goods and become an increasingly significant player in the world economy. In Japan, we are seeing an improvement in consumer spending and corporate investment.

Equity markets moved up and down over the period, responding to actual and anticipated economic developments. For the 12-month period, equity returns were positive, with international markets stronger than the US markets, and small-cap stocks stronger than large-cap issues. A glut of global savings and reasonably positive inflation statistics caused fixed-income markets to perform remarkably well in the face of resilient economic growth.

Q: What is the current outlook for US and world markets?

A: As of early September, energy prices and the effects of hurricanes in the US Gulf Coast are the dominant themes in the news, both general and economic. It will be several months before we can assess the overall impact of the severe weather on the economy and markets. Oil production and the transportation of agricultural products have been disrupted, but there may also be positive effects on overall economic activity as the rebuilding of infrastructure creates jobs, increases demand for a variety of products and draws out billions of dollars of fiscal stimulus from the federal government. The hurricanes may also have the effect of increasing inflation, especially because of the direct impact on fuel prices. By continuing its series of interest rate increases in September, the Fed has demonstrated ongoing concern about inflation.

For the long term, the US economy still faces imbalances in the form of low national savings, increased borrowing from abroad, low real interest rates and stretched housing valuations. However, since the economy has continued to exhibit strength despite these prevailing imbalances, there is little reason to believe they will correct suddenly.

Our view of the world economic outlook has been more optimistic than the consensus for some time. Because of high oil prices and concerns about the future direction of consumer spending, we are somewhat less sanguine than we have been. However, our sense is that relatively low interest rates and reasonably strong hiring patterns will continue to provide support for consumer expenditures, although we believe spending will soften somewhat in the months ahead. Further out, we expect that energy prices will begin to moderate as demand growth slows and supplies expand from the strategic reserve in the United States and from the OPEC nations of the Middle East.

Internationally, pessimism about Chinese growth decelerating seems to have receded, and there are signs of solid growth in the Pacific Rim nations. Growth in Europe remains sluggish, but there are signs of more sustainable demand in Japan.

Our favorite international equity markets are in Asia and Europe, which appear to be moving off low points. We see some attractive values in these markets, where interest rates are low and restructurings are generating earnings growth. We believe that global bond yields are likely to rise, but we feel that bonds in continental Europe should outperform other markets. As central banks around the world pursue divergent policies, we are finding a variety of investment opportunities in equities and fixed-income securities around the globe.

Q: How are Scudder Pathway Portfolios managed?

A: Our strategy for managing the fund-of-funds portfolios and evaluating how they perform consists of three components: strategic asset allocation, tactical asset allocation and allocation to the underlying funds.

Effective June 2004, the board of trustees of Scudder Pathway Series approved revised investment policies for the Pathway Portfolios. The changes, which enable the funds to invest in additional asset classes, were made in recognition of the evolving nature of the markets in which the funds participate.¹ They are designed to promote a more dynamic asset-allocation model and expand the range of underlying funds available for investment. Now, in our annual review of strategic asset allocation, we consider not only what percentage of each fund should be allocated to each asset class but also what changes should be made to existing asset classes and whether any new asset classes should be added.

¹ An asset class is a major type of investment, such as equities, investment-grade bonds, high-yield bonds or real estate.

As part of the 2004 changes, we introduced a new portfolio to the Scudder Pathway Series, Pathway Growth Plus Portfolio, which began operation on November 1, 2004, and we altered the objective of Growth Portfolio to reduce its risk level. With four portfolios in the series, we believe that Scudder Pathway Series is appropriate for a wide variety and range of investors. As time passes and investors' time horizons and objectives change, investors can easily move among the portfolios.

We believe that ours is a much more forward-looking approach to asset allocation than the methods used by competing funds, and we are pleased with the effect the changes have had on performance of the portfolios. As markets continue to evolve, we will review these strategic allocations annually and alter the asset mix as we deem appropriate and in the best interest of investors in Scudder Pathway Portfolios.

Q: Will you provide more detail about the process of asset allocation and fund selection?

To derive strategic asset allocation, we use a proprietary methodology that consists of the following steps:

First, we derive long-term equilibrium returns. We take into account long-term factors such as productivity rates and inflation expectations. Then, we adjust the equilibrium returns to reflect medium-term factors. The factors are likely to drive returns over the next couple of years. We use mean reversion, slope of the yield curve and foreign exchange movements.²

² Mean reversion is a strategy that involves purchasing an underperforming asset and holding the position until the asset rebounds; it is based on the mathematical premise that all returns will eventually move back toward the mean, or average, return. Thus, if an asset is underperforming, its return will be higher. A yield curve shows the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar bonds, usually Treasuries, at a given point in time. The currency exchange rate represents the rate at which one currency may be converted into another. It is also called rate of exchange or foreign exchange rate.

³ Fundamental analysis is the use of all available information about a possible investment, such as earnings growth, management capability, industry trends, a company's financial strength, and quantitative measures, to determine value.

To estimate volatility and correlations, we use historical returns, with higher weights assigned to the most recent trends. This approach differs from a more conventional approach in which all historical returns are equally weighted.

Given risk/return forecasts, we find optimal portfolios over the whole risk spectrum. Finally, we select portfolios with the appropriate risk levels for each strategy.

Tactical asset allocation is the overweighting or underweighting of asset classes relative to the longer-term strategic allocations. It is guided by our Integrated Global Alpha Platform (iGAP). The iGAP platform collects investment ideas generated by investment teams located around the world. These teams use both fundamental analysis and quantitative models.³ Quantitative models use mathematical and statistical analysis to evaluate investments in a rigorous risk-controlled fashion.

Our iGAP platform processes these ideas through a specially designed investment and portfolio engineering infrastructure and then turns them into model portfolios that take into account volatility, return objectives and portfolio constraints. For example, suppose strategic allocation to international equities is 6%, and iGAP position is overweight international equities by 1% relative to the strategic weight; then the weight implemented for this particular month is 7% in international equities.

Based on the desired exposure to particular investments and a thorough risk analysis, the managers then decide which funds to use as underlying funds and in which proportions.

Q: What were the major changes in strategic allocations in 2004, and how did they affect performance?

A: The major long-term strategic change was a reduction in the equity allocation in Pathway Growth Portfolio from 85% to 75%. This change, along with the introduction of the 100% equity Pathway Growth Plus Portfolio in November 2004, was made to space the funds more evenly across time horizons, so that investors can move from one portfolio to another every three to five years, as their needs and objectives change.

In Pathway Conservative Portfolio, we switched from using the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index to using the Lehman Brothers Intermediate US Aggregate Bond Index as the basis for determining the portfolio's fixed-income strategic asset allocation. This change, which mandated a reallocation of half the fixed-income portion of the portfolio to short-term investments, was also a long-term strategic change related to risk reduction and realignment of Scudder Pathway Series along the investment time horizon.

For the three portfolios that invest in bonds (Pathway Conservative, Moderate and Growth Portfolios) we added high-yield bonds as an asset class. This change was positive for performance over the last year, given that high-yield bonds outperformed investment-grade bonds.

We made modest adjustments to the allocations of small-cap and international equities. In Pathway Moderate and Growth Portfolios, the allocation to small cap was slightly increased, and small caps were introduced for the first time in Pathway Conservative Portfolio. That change had a positive impact on performance, since small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks. We increased the allocation to international equities in Pathway Conservative Portfolio and reduced it in Pathway Moderate and Growth Portfolios. The higher allocation to international equities helped the performance of Pathway Conservative Portfolio, while lower allocation in Pathway Moderate and Growth Portfolios marginally subtracted from performance, since international equities outperformed US equities.

We set the cash allocation at 5% in the Pathway Conservative, Moderate and Growth Portfolios. This meant the cash allocation was reduced in Pathway Conservative Portfolio, which helped performance, since cash underperformed bonds. There was no change in the strategic allocation to cash in Pathway Moderate Portfolio. The increase in Pathway Growth Portfolio's cash allocation detracted from performance, but only marginally, since we tactically underweighted cash almost to the fullest extent possible.

We changed the index used to determine large-cap strategic asset allocation from the S&P 500 Index to the Russell 1000 Index, so that mid-cap stocks are better represented in the portfolios. That helped performance, since mid-cap stocks significantly outperformed large-cap stocks.

Overall, the impact of the 2004 to 2005 strategic allocation was positive for Pathway Conservative Portfolio, Pathway Moderate Portfolio and Pathway Growth Portfolio as the new allocation structure outperformed what the pre-2004 allocation would have returned by 48, 85 and 65 basis points,⁴ respectively over the 12-month period from July 2004 through June 2005.

⁴ One hundred basis points is equivalent to one percentage point.

As measured by the performance within the peer groups, the 2004 to 2005 strategic allocations performed well, as Pathway Conservative and Moderate Portfolios had returns above the averages for their respective Lipper peer groups. However, the return of Pathway Growth Portfolio was below the average of its assigned peer group, Multi-Cap Core Funds; with the change in strategic allocation for this portfolio, we have approached Lipper about reassigning it to a peer group more appropriate for its strategy.

Q: What changes were made to strategic allocations in July 2005?

Consistent with our policy of an annual review of strategic allocations, we implemented several changes as of July 1, 2005. We established a slight value bias within both the large-cap and the small-cap equity categories. We also slightly increased the allocations to small-cap equities. We expanded the range of investment options by adding two new asset classes, commodities and Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). Allocations were made to TIPS in Pathway Conservative and Pathway Moderate Portfolios, and small commodity positions were added in Pathway Conservative, Pathway Moderate and Pathway Growth Portfolios. We made slight increases in the allocations to high-yield bonds in Pathway Conservative, Pathway Moderate and Pathway Growth Portfolios. Finally, we significantly increased the allocation to short-term investments in Pathway Conservative Portfolio; since short-term interest rates are rising, returns are more competitive with other asset classes.

The table on this page summarizes the asset classes and strategic allocations for 2004-2005 and for 2005-2006.

Q: How did the underlying funds perform over the one-year period?

A: The portfolios have the potential to invest in a total of 50 funds, providing exposure to all categories of US equities, international equities, commodities and a variety of fixed-income securities. Performance of each fund is compared with returns of indices of securities in the appropriate asset classes. Since these indices represent broad asset classes in which Scudder Pathway Portfolios managers invest, they serve mainly as points of comparison for returns of asset classes within the portfolios (such as US equities or intermediate-term bonds), but they are not necessarily benchmarks against which the underlying funds are managed.

Over the last 12 months, returns of the equity funds were significantly higher than returns of the bond funds. Within the equity category, international and small-cap funds had higher returns than large-cap funds.

Most of the fixed-income funds had returns above their benchmarks. The largest fixed-income holding of the Pathway Portfolios, Scudder Fixed Income Fund, outperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The best-performing fund relative to its benchmark was Scudder High Income Plus Fund.

Although returns of large-cap equity funds were positive, the only large-cap funds that outperformed the Russell 1000 Index were Scudder-Dreman High Return Equity Fund, Scudder Blue Chip Fund and Scudder RREEF Real Estate Securities Fund. Scudder Large Cap Value Fund had the most negative performance relative to the index. Small-cap equity funds performed well, both on an absolute basis and relative to their benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. All except Scudder Small Company Value Fund outperformed the index; Scudder Micro Cap Fund achieved the best absolute and relative performance.

International equity funds were also strong: All had positive returns and all except Scudder Japanese Equity Fund and Scudder Emerging Markets Fund outperformed the relevant indices.

Q: Do you have other comments for shareholders?

A: We continue to believe that a rigorous approach to strategic and tactical asset allocation, combined with diligent risk management, offers investors the potential for superior risk-adjusted returns. We take a disciplined approach to adjusting allocations on a regular basis, while attempting to avoid excessive transaction costs. We believe that the investment processes we use, combining statistical analysis with in-depth research and long-term forecasting, have the potential to add significant value. We believe that this approach to asset allocation is more forward-looking than the methods used by competing funds, and we believe that it will serve investors well in the dynamic markets of the present and the future.

The four Scudder Pathway Portfolios are structured to meet the needs of investors with time horizons ranging from three to 15 years or longer. Investors have the opportunity to migrate from one portfolio to another as their needs and risk tolerance change. For many investors, disciplined asset-allocation funds, such as Scudder Pathway Portfolios, offer the potential to take advantage of a wide range of investment opportunities with what we believe is a moderate degree of risk.

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.

Portfolio Highlights

Pathway Conservative Portfolio

Pathway Conservative Portfolio seeks current income and, as a secondary objective, long-term growth of capital. The portfolio's target allocation is 40% equity funds and 60% fixed-income funds. The managers have the flexibility to adjust this allocation within the following ranges: equity funds 25%-55%, fixed-income funds 45%-75%.

Performance

Pathway Conservative Portfolio provided a total return of 9.04% (Class A shares) for the 12-month period ended August 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 8 for the performance of other share classes and for more complete performance information.) The portfolio outperformed the 8.86% average total return of its peers in the Lipper Income Funds category.⁵

⁵ Source: Lipper Inc. The Lipper Income Funds category comprises funds that normally seek a high level of current income through investing in income-producing stocks, bonds and money market instruments. It is not possible to invest directly in a Lipper category.

Performance of the underlying funds contributed positively to return, as four of the eight fixed-income funds outperformed the relevant indices. Performance was helped especially by the largest fixed-income fund holding, Scudder Fixed Income Fund, which outperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index. Tactical asset allocation was marginally positive for return.

Portfolio Strategy

The portfolio's equity position was above the midpoint of its normal range of 25% to 55% throughout the 12-month period, with equities above 45% of total assets in the January through April period. This tactical overweight of equities was positive for performance, since equities significantly outperformed bonds. An overweight in international equities especially helped, since international equities (as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index) represented the best-performing asset class, returning almost twice as much as domestic equities. Emerging-markets equities (as measured by the MSCI EMF Index) performed especially well.

Within the fixed-income portion of the portfolio, we underweighted cash and overweighted bonds for the first nine months of the period, and then we reversed the position in June 2005. The underweight in cash contributed positively to performance, since bonds outperformed short-term investments.

Within bonds, we overweighted intermediate bonds and underweighted short-term bonds for the first seven months. Then, in March of 2005, we reversed the position and began overweighting short-term bonds. The underweight had a positive contribution because intermediate bonds outperformed short-term bonds, but the subsequent overweight had a marginally negative contribution, as returns of short-term bonds did not increase as much as we had anticipated. For the 12-month period, the short-term vs. long-term bond position contributed positively.

After keeping fund allocations stable for the first 10 months of the period, we made some sizable reallocations related to the annual change in strategic allocations in July. Changes in the fixed-income portion of the portfolio were especially significant. We significantly reduced the holding in Scudder Income Fund, while scaling down the allocations to Scudder Short-Term Bond Fund and Scudder GNMA Fund. During the time these funds were included among holdings, the Scudder GNMA Fund made a positive contribution to return, while the Scudder Short-Term Bond Fund hurt returns, since short-term bonds as an asset class underperformed. Proceeds of these sales were invested in Scudder Inflation Protected Plus Fund and short-term investments.

Pathway Moderate Portfolio

Pathway Moderate Portfolio seeks a balance of current income and growth of capital. The portfolio's target allocation is 60% equity funds and 40% fixed-income funds. The managers have the flexibility to adjust this allocation within the following ranges: equity funds 45%-75%, fixed-income funds 25%-55%.

Performance

Pathway Moderate Portfolio provided a total return of 10.95% (Class A shares) for the 12-month period ended August 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 9 through 14 for the performance of other share classes and for more complete performance information.) The portfolio outperformed the 10.64% average total return of its peers in the Lipper Balanced Funds category.⁶

⁶ Source: Lipper Inc. The Lipper Balanced Funds category comprises funds whose primary objective is to conserve principal by maintaining at all times a balance of stocks and bonds. Typically, the stock/bond ratio is approximately 60%/40%. It is not possible to invest directly in a Lipper category.

Tactical asset allocation was slightly positive for return, while performance of the underlying funds was marginally negative.

Portfolio Strategy

The portfolio's equity position was above the midpoint of its normal range of 45% to 75% throughout the 12-month period, and it was maintained above 60% for 11 of the 12 months. This was a positive decision, as equities performed significantly better than bonds. International equities were strong, and performance benefited from the international allocation, which was at 6% or above for 10 of the 12 months.

Within the fixed-income segment of the portfolio, targeted for 25% to 55% of the portfolio, performance benefited modestly from an overweight in bonds and underweight in short-term investments until June 2005, when the cash position was increased. For the 12-month period, the bonds vs. cash positioning was beneficial for performance.

The most significant changes to fund allocations were made in July, as the new strategic allocation was implemented. The largest reallocation was the sale of a portion of Scudder Fixed Income Fund and the purchase of shares in Scudder Inflation Protected Plus Fund.

Pathway Growth Portfolio

Pathway Growth Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital and, as a secondary objective, current income. The portfolio's target allocation is 75% equity funds and 25% fixed-income funds. The managers have the flexibility to adjust this allocation within the following ranges: equity funds 60%-90%, fixed-income funds 10%-40%.

Performance

Pathway Growth Portfolio provided a total return of 12.76% (Class A shares) for the 12-month period ended August 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 15 through 20 for the performance of other share classes and for more complete performance information.) The portfolio underperformed the 16.06% average total return of its peers in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category.⁷

⁷ Source: Lipper Inc. The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category comprises funds that, by portfolio practice, invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges, without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period. Multi-cap funds will generally have 25% to 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. Multi-Cap Core Funds have wide latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds normally compare their average price-to-earnings ratios, price-to-book ratios and three-year earnings growth figures with the US diversified multi-cap equity funds universe average. It is not possible to invest directly in a Lipper category.

Performance relative to the peer group was negatively affected by the portfolio's strategy of allocating assets to a combination of equities and fixed-income securities at a time when stocks significantly outperformed bonds. The Lipper peer group is generally 100% equities, while the portfolio's target allocation calls for investing 25% in bonds.

Tactical asset allocation was slightly positive for return, while performance of the underlying funds was marginally negative.

Portfolio Strategy

The performance of Pathway Growth Portfolio benefited from the overall strength in the equity markets, since this portfolio's emphasis is on equities, with assets allocated to 60% to 90% of equities. The portfolio's equity position was above 75% of the total allocation for 11 of the 12 months, and it was above 78% for seven months. International equities were strong, and performance benefited from international exposure, which was at or above 9% for 10 of the 12 months.

Within the fixed-income segment of the portfolio, with a range of 10% to 40% of the total allocation, performance benefited modestly from an overweight in bonds and underweight in short-term investments until June 2005, when the cash position was increased.

Fund allocations were quite stable throughout the year, as changes related mainly to tactical asset-allocation shifts. Implementation of the new strategic allocations in July 2005 did not require major shifts in positions.

Pathway Growth Plus Portfolio

Pathway Growth Plus Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity mutual funds. While the target allocation is 100% equity funds, the managers may invest up to 30% of the portfolio in bond funds when bond market conditions suggest the potential for capital appreciation.

The portfolio's inception was November 1, 2004. See our Web site scudder.com for performance information.

Portfolio Strategy

The target allocation for this portfolio is 100% equity funds, though fixed-income funds may represent up to 30% of the total. Equity exposure was maintained close to 100% for the 10 months ended August 2005, benefiting return in a period of positive equity performance. Since international equities were quite strong, performance benefited from international exposure, which was above 5% throughout the period. Also positive for performance was exposure to small-cap funds, which had higher returns than large-cap funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

A. Significant Accounting Policies

The Pathway Conservative, Pathway Moderate, Pathway Growth and Pathway Growth Plus Portfolios (the "Portfolios") are each a diversified series of Scudder Pathway Series (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 Portfolios invest primarily in existing Scudder Funds (the "Underlying Scudder Funds"). Each Underlying Scudder Fund's accounting policies and investment holdings are outlined in the Underlying Scudder Fund's financial statements and are available upon request.

Each Portfolio 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. Shares of Class AARP are designed for members of AARP. Class AARP and 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 Portfolios' 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 services to shareholders, distribution service fees and certain other class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of each Portfolio have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

The Portfolios' 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 each Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Investments in the Underlying Scudder Funds are valued at the net asset value per share of each class of the Underlying Scudder Fund as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost.

Federal Income Taxes. Each Portfolio'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. Each Portfolio is treated as a single corporate taxpayer. Accordingly, the Portfolios paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provisions were required.

At August 31, 2005, the Pathway Conservative Portfolio had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $13,218,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until August 31, 2010 ($1,080,000), August 31, 2011 ($2,914,000) and August 31, 2012 ($9,224,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first. During the year ended August 31, 2005 the Portfolio utilized $2,691,000 of capital loss carryforward.

At August 31, 2005, the Pathway Moderate Portfolio had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $48,617,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until August 31, 2010 ($11,966,000), August 31, 2011 ($14,881,000) and August 31, 2012 ($21,770,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first. During the year ended August 31, 2005 the Portfolio utilized $7,158,000 of capital loss carryforward.

At August 31, 2005, the Pathway Growth Portfolio had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $51,301,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until August 31, 2011 ($14,400,000) and August 31, 2012 ($36,901,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first. During the year ended August 31, 2005, the Portfolio utilized $7,613,000 of capital loss carryforward.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income from the Pathway Conservative and Pathway Moderate Portfolios, if any, is distributed to shareholders quarterly. Net investment income from the Pathway Growth and Pathway Growth Plus Portfolios, if any, is distributed to shareholders annually. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to each Portfolio if not distributed, and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually. An additional distribution may be made to the extent necessary to avoid payment of a four percent federal excise tax.

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 investments 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, each Portfolio may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of a Portfolio.

At August 31, 2005, the Pathway Conservative Portfolio's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis are as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*	$ —
Capital loss carryforwards	$ (13,218,000)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments	$ 7,272,144

In addition, during the years ended August 31, 2005 and August 31, 2004, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Pathway Conservative Portfolio is summarized as follows:

	Years Ended August 31,
	2005	2004
Distributions from ordinary income*	$ 3,824,496	$ 3,369,334

Offering Costs. Offering costs for Pathway Growth Plus Portfolio were paid in connection with the offering of shares and are being amortized over one year.

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

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

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. Distributions of income and capital gains from the Underlying Scudder Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

B. 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 each Portfolio 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 each Portfolio. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The Advisor has agreed not to be paid a management fee for performing its services for the Portfolios. However, the Advisor will receive management fees from managing the Underlying Scudder Funds in which each Portfolio invests.

The Portfolios do not invest in the Underlying Scudder Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments within the set limits may represent a significant portion of an Underlying Scudder Fund's net assets. At August 31, 2005, Pathway Conservative Portfolio held the following Underlying Scudder Fund's outstanding shares: approximately 35% of Scudder Inflation Protected Plus Fund. At August 31, 2005, Pathway Growth Portfolio held the following Underlying Scudder Fund's outstanding shares: approximately 8% of Scudder Small Company Stock Fund. At August 31, 2005, Pathway Moderate Portfolio held the following Underlying Scudder Funds' outstanding shares: approximately 64% of Scudder Inflation Protected Plus Fund, 6% of Scudder Fixed Income Fund and 8% of Scudder Small Company Stock Fund. At August 31, 2005, Pathway Growth Plus Portfolio did not hold more than 5% of any of the Underlying Scudder Funds' outstanding shares.

Effective April 1, 2004 through December 31, 2005, the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses to maintain each Portfolio's operating expenses at 0.55%, 1.30%, 1.30%, 0.30% and 0.30% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B, C, AARP and S, respectively. Each Portfolio will continue to indirectly bear its proportionate share of fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Scudder Funds in which it is invested.

For the period ended August 31, 2005, the Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Pathway Growth Plus Portfolio an additional $110,888 for expenses.

Accounting Fees. 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 Portfolios. SFAC has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company to provide certain administrative, fund accounting and record-keeping services to the Portfolios. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the amount charged to the Portfolios by SFAC for accounting services aggregated $43,008, $39,484, $37,651 and $78,965, respectively, for the Pathway Conservative, Pathway Moderate, Pathway Growth and Pathway Growth Plus Portfolios of which $12,591, $6,376, $6,602 and $0, respectively, for the Pathway Conservative, Pathway Moderate, Pathway Growth and Pathway Growth Plus Portfolios are unpaid at August 31, 2005. In addition, the Advisor waived accounting fees of $78,965 for Pathway Growth Plus Portfolio.

Service Provider Fees. Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer, shareholder service and dividend-paying agent for Class A, B and C shares of the Portfolios. Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of the Advisor, is the transfer, shareholder service and dividend-paying agent for Class AARP and S shares of the Portfolios.

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.

C. Expense Reductions

For the period ended August 31, 2005, the Advisor agreed to reimburse the Portfolios $2,366, $3,474, $3,457 and $0 for the Pathway Conservative, Pathway Moderate, Pathway Growth and Pathway Growth Plus Portfolios, respectively, 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.

D. Line of Credit

The Portfolios and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.1 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. Each Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 20 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

F. 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. The funds' advisors have been cooperating in connection with these inquiries and are in discussions with these regulators concerning proposed settlements. 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, and 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. It is not possible to determine with certainty what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors. Based on currently available information, however, the funds' investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits and any regulatory settlements 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Scudder Pathway Series and the Shareholders of Scudder Pathway Series: Conservative, Moderate, Growth and Growth Plus Portfolios:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolios, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Scudder Pathway Series: Conservative, Moderate, Growth and Growth Plus Portfolios (the four portfolios constituting the Scudder Pathway Series) (the "Funds") at August 31, 2005 and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The following table presents certain information regarding the Trustees and Officers of the fund as of August 31, 2005. Each individual's year of birth is set forth in parentheses after his or her name. Unless otherwise noted, (i) each individual has engaged in the principal occupation(s) noted in the table for at least the most recent five years, although not necessarily in the same capacity, and (ii) the address of each Trustee is c/o Dawn-Marie Driscoll, PO Box 100176, Cape Coral, FL 33904. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each Officer is Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The term of office for each Trustee is until the next meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing Trustees and until the election and qualification of a successor, or until such Trustee sooner dies, resigns, retires or is removed as provided in the governing documents of the fund. Because the fund does not hold an annual meeting of shareholders, each Trustee will hold office for an indeterminate period. The Trustees of the Fund may also serve in similar capacities with other funds in the fund complex.

ITEM 2.         CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period, August 31, 2005, Scudder Pathway Series 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 Funds' audit committee is comprised solely of trustees who are "independent"
(as such term has been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
in regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the
"Regulations")). The Funds' Board of Trustees has determined that there are
several "audit committee financial experts" serving on the Funds' audit
committee. The Board has determined that Keith R. Fox, the chair of the Funds'
audit committee, qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" (as such
term has been defined by the Regulations) based on its review of Mr. Fox's
pertinent experience and education. The SEC has stated that the designation or
identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to
this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations
or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed
on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the
absence of such designation or identification. In accordance with New York Stock
Exchange requirements, the Board believes that all members of the Funds' audit
committee are financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by the
Board in its business judgment, and that at least one member of the audit
committee has accounting or related financial management expertise.
