                       ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
 
     The State of New York saw its already difficult budget process hampered
further this year by the federal budget impasse, resulting in a failure to pass
a timely budget for the twelfth year in a row. This record continues to be a
drag on the State's progress toward a credit rating upgrade. Although the
hoped-for aid from Washington in the form of higher reimbursements for Medicaid
failed to arrive, the outlook is not without some positive developments. The
State economy continues to strengthen and tax cuts and other measures to create
a more favorable business climate appear to be paying off with increased
revenues. Further cuts to aid business expansion are in the pipeline and efforts
to restrain spending have had reasonable success.
 
     The New York City economy has experienced a few bright spots over the past
year, most notably in the area of job growth, but the improvements are marginal
and the economy continues to lag the national average. The budget picture
remains one of persistent structural imbalances with the annual shortages being
closed by an array of one-time stopgap measures that add little to forward
progress on long-term budget reform. Mayor Giuliani continues with vigorous
efforts to hold the line on spending and has kept in place an income tax
surcharge that was due to expire at year-end. But the City economy remains
relatively weak and the effects of federal welfare reform could place additional
pressures on City finances.
 
     The recent tendency of the national economy to give off conflicting signals
about its strength has made it difficult for a consensus to form as to the
movement of short-term interest rates. It has led to bouts of intense Fed
watching and the markets have on several occasions attempted to discount a Fed
tightening only to retrace the steps when it failed to materialize. The effect
on the short-term municipal market has been slight due to built-in seasonal
patterns and overriding supply considerations. New York City marketed an issue
of $800 million tax anticipation notes maturing in February 1997 that was well
received despite aggressive pricing. New note supply entered the market in early
July and several issues were purchased by the Fund, extending the portfolio's
average weighted maturity to the 50-day range. On July 31, total net assets
stood at $272,164,799.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. Municipal Fund for New York Investors, Inc. (the "Company") is a no-load,
non-diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company offers three series of
shares--New York Money ("Money"), New York Money Dollar ("Dollar"), and New York
Money Plus ("Plus"). Shares of each series represent equal pro rata interests in
a single investment portfolio of the Company and are identical in all respects
except that the Dollar and Plus shares bear the service fees described below and
are entitled to vote separately on matters relating to these fees.
 
  Dollar shares are sold pursuant to a non-12b-1 Shareholder Services Plan to
institutions other than broker/dealers, and Plus shares are sold pursuant to a
12b-1 Services Plan only to broker/dealers which enter into agreements with the
Company requiring them to provide certain support services to their customers in
consideration of the Company's payment of .25% (on an annualized basis) of the
average daily net asset value of such shares held by the institutions on behalf
of their customers. Dividends paid to Dollar and Plus shareholders are reduced
by such fees. In addition, broker/dealers purchasing Plus shares may be
requested to provide assistance in connection with the distribution of such
shares. Money shares are sold to institutional investors who choose not to enter
into such servicing agreements with the Company.
 
  Certain New York municipal obligations in the Company's portfolio may be
obligations of issuers which rely in whole or in part on New York State
revenues, real property taxes, revenues from health care institutions, or
obligations secured by mortgages on real property. Consequently, the possible
effect of economic conditions in New York State and of New York law on these
obligations must be considered.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed
by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
  Portfolio valuation--Portfolio securities of the Company are valued at
amortized cost which approximates market value. Amortized cost valuation
involves valuing an instrument at its cost initially and, thereafter, assuming a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
 
  Securities transactions and investment income--Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are
recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis.
 
  Dividends and distributions to shareholders--It is the policy of the Company
to declare dividends from net investment income daily and to pay such dividends
within five business days of the end of each month. Net realized capital gains,
if any, are distributed at least annually.
 
  Federal taxes--No provision is made for federal income or excise taxes since
the Company intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by
complying with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and by distributing all of its earnings to its shareholders.

3. Investment Advisory Fee, Administration Fee and Other Related Party
Transactions
 
  The Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with PNC
Institutional Management Corporation (the "Investment Adviser"), an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC Bank"). PNC Bank
serves as the Company's sub-investment adviser pursuant to a Sub-Advisory
Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser is
entitled to receive a fee from the Company, computed daily and payable monthly,
at an annual rate of .20% of the Company's average daily net assets.
 
  Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") is the Company's distributor. No
compensation is payable by the Company to PDI for its distribution services.
 
  The Company has entered into an Administration Agreement with PFPC Inc.
("PFPC"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, and PDI (the
"Administrators"), for certain administrative services. Pursuant to their
administrative agreement with the Company, PFPC and PDI jointly are entitled to
receive a fee at an annual rate of .20% of the Company's average daily net
assets.
 
  The Investment Adviser and Administrators have agreed to reduce the advisory
and administration fees otherwise payable to them and to reimburse the Company
for its operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that its annual
operating expense ratio (excluding fees paid to Service Organizations pursuant
to Servicing Agreements) does not exceed .20% of the Company's average daily net
assets.
 
  For the year ended July 31, 1996, the Investment Adviser and Administrators
voluntarily waived fees totaling $783,189.

  Expenses include legal fees amounting to $43,572 paid to counsel to the
Company, a partner of which is secretary of the Company.
 
  PNC Bank is the Company's custodian and PFPC is transfer agent.
 
4. Fund Shares

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Shareholders and Directors of
Municipal Fund for New York Investors, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Municipal Fund for
New York Investors, Inc. as of July 31, 1996 and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
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 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities held by the
custodian as of July 31, 1996. 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 financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Municipal Fund for New York Investors, Inc. as of July 31, 1996, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of
the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
