FORTIS MONEY FUND ANNUAL REPORT

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

We're pleased to present the Fortis Money Fund annual report for the year ended
September 30, 1995.

ECONOMIC REVIEW AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Over the past year, fixed income markets performed well, even though short-term
rates rose in 1994. Longer-term rates have since declined about 1-1/2 percent.
This rally in bond prices was caused by signs of an economic slowdown, combined
with subdued inflation. In fact, the Federal Reserve confirmed the bond market's
recognition of a slowdown by lowering short-term rates in July.

Recent moderate growth may be the economic response to the doubling of
short-term interest rates, which the Federal Reserve

engineered last year. With the cost of money now lower, we feel economic
expansion should continue through the balance of this year and into 1996. As
long as productivity continues to rise and labor cost increases remain small,
the expectation for inflation should remain in the range of 2 to 3 percent.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

As always, our primary concerns in managing the Fortis Money Fund are quality,
safety and liquidity. Our list of approved eligible investments continues to
emphasize the highest quality domestic issuers. Because we believe that short
rates should remain stable or decline slightly by year-end, we recently
increased our average maturity from 30 days to 45 days.

IN CLOSING
We appreciate your investment in the Fortis Money Fund. If you have any
questions, please call us or talk with your investment professional.

Sincerely,

/s/ DEAN C. KOPPERUD
Dean C. Kopperud
President

/s/ HOWARD G. HUDSON

Notes to Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   The fund is a diversified series of Fortis Money Portfolios, Inc., an
   open-end management investment company. The primary investment objective of
   the fund is maximum current income to the extent consistent with stability of
   principal. The Articles of Incorporation of Fortis Money Portfolios, Inc.
   permits the Board of Directors to create additional portfolios in the future.

   The fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class H shares. The fund began
   to issue multiple class shares effective November 14, 1994. Class B and H
   shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for six years,
   and such shares automatically convert to Class A after eight years. Class C
   shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for one year.
   Class A shares of the Fund will be offered to investors generally, while
   Class B, C and H will be available only for exchange from the corresponding
   class of any other fund. All classes of shares have identical voting,
   dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions,
   except that the level of distribution fees charged differs between classes.
   Income, expenses (other than expenses incurred under each class's
   distribution agreement) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on
   investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net
   assets.

   The significant accounting policies followed by the fund are summarized as
   follows:

 SECURITY VALUATION: Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of
 1940, investments are valued at amortized cost which assumes a constant
 amortization to maturity of discount or premium. The use of this method results
 in a constant net asset value of $1.00.

 SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME: Security transactions are
 accounted for on the trade date. Interest income including amortization of
 premium and discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. For the year ended
 September 30, 1995, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of short-term
 securities aggregated $669,037,313 and $668,097,732, respectively.

 INCOME TAXES: The fund intends to qualify, under the Internal Revenue Code, as
 a regulated investment company and if so qualified, will not have to pay
 federal income taxes to the extent its taxable net income is distributed. On a
 calendar year basis, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
 net investment income and realized gains, if any, to avoid the payment of
 federal excise taxes.
 DEFERRED COSTS: Registration costs are deferred and charged to income over the
 registration period.
 INCOME DISTRIBUTIONS: It is the policy of the fund to declare a distribution of
 all its net investment income each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, to
 shareholders of record the previous day, to be paid on the last business day of
 each month.

B. PAYMENTS TO RELATED PARTIES: Fortis Advisers, Inc. is the investment adviser
   for the fund. Investment advisory and management fees are computed at an
   annual rate of .6% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets and
   .55% of average daily net assets in excess of $500 million.

   Pursuant to a plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of
   1940, Fortis Advisers uses .2% of its advisory and management fee to pay for
   distribution expenses. Classes B, C and H pay Fortis Investors, Inc. (the
   fund's principal underwriter) additional distribution fees equal to .8% of
   average daily net assets (of the respective classes) on an annual basis.

   The fund also reimburses Fortis Advisers, Inc. for direct transfer agent
   expenses such as postage.

   Legal fees and expenses aggregating $17,674 for the year ended September 30,
   1995 were paid to a law firm of which the secretary of the fund is a partner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Fortis Money Portfolios, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments in securities, of Fortis Money Fund (a series of
Fortis Money Portfolios, Inc.) as of September 30, 1995, and the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in
net assets for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30,
1995, and the financial highlights presented in footnote C to the financial
statements. These financial statements and the financial highlights are the
responsibility of fund management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and the financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Investment securities held in custody are confirmed to us by the
custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fortis Money Fund at September 30, 1995 and the results of its operations for
the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the
two-year period ended September 30, 1995, and the financial highlights presented
in footnote C to the financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
