To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Berger Institutional Products Trust
In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Berger
Institutional Products Trust for the year ended December 31, 1998, we
considered its internal control, including control activities for safeguarding
securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose
of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply
with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on
internal control.
The management of Berger Institutional Products Trust is responsible
for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required
to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally,
controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of
preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal
control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness
of the design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose
all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design
or operation of one or more of the internal control components does
not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused
by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the
financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected
within a timely period by employees in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters
involving internal control and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses
as defined above as of December 31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management
and the Board of Trustees of Berger Institutional Products Trust and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
