investment company portfolio transactions on the basis of their sales of
investment company shares, under such Rules, sales of investment company

transactions. Accordingly, some portfolio transactions are, subject to such
Rules and to obtaining best prices and executions, effected through dealers
(excluding Equity Planning) who sell shares of the Fund. The Advisers may
also select affiliated broker-dealers to execute transactions for the Fund,
provided that the commissions, fees or other remuneration paid to such
affiliated brokers is reasonable and fair as compared to that paid to

               PHOENIX DUFF & PHELPS INSTITUTIONAL MUTUAL FUNDS
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT

1. ORGANIZATION
Phoenix Duff & Phelps Institutional Mutual Funds (the "Fund") is organized as
a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment
company whose shares are offered in six separate portfolios (the
"Portfolios"). The Fund is expected to commence operations on or about March
1, 1996 other than the Enhanced Reserves Portfolio (not covered in this
financial statement) which is expected to be available for sale on or about
May 1, 1996.

   Prior to March 1, 1996, the Portfolios, other than Enhanced Reserves
Portfolio, existed as separate accounts of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance
Company ("PHL"). Upon commencement of operations, the net assets of each
separate account will be transferred into the corresponding Portfolio of the
Fund in exchange for shares of that Portfolio which will be credited to each
contractholder in accordance with the value of that contractholder's separate
account value as of the close of business on such date.

   Each Portfolio has distinct investment objectives. The Balanced Portfolio
seeks to provide long-term capital growth, reasonable income and conservation
of capital. The Managed Bond Portfolio seeks to provide high current income
and appreciation of capital consistent with prudent investment risk. The
Growth Portfolio seeks as its investment objective long-term appreciation of
capital. The Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide as high a level of
current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the
maintenance of liquidity. The U.S. Government Securities Portfolio seeks as
its investment objective a high level of current income consistent with
safety of principal.

   The Fund offers two classes of shares, Class X and Class Y. Class X shares
are available with no sales charges to institutional investors or plans whose
initial purchase of shares exceeds $5 million. Class Y shares are available
with an annual 0.25% distribution fee to institutional investors or plans
whose initial purchase of shares exceeds $1 million. Both classes of shares
have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights (other than
conversion rights) and the same terms and conditions, except that Class Y
bears different distribution expenses and has exclusive voting rights with
respect to its distribution plan.
