                    SEMI-ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
 
     The economy of the State of New York, while not deteriorating, remained
sluggish over the past six months, and as the State rolls into budget season, it
faces another shortfall. The estimated gap currently falls into the $3.5-4.0
billion range. To address the structural problems, Governor Pataki continues to
press hard for a mix of cuts--tax cuts, spending cuts, and job cuts--aimed at
revenue growth through a more favorable business climate and a leaner state
government. Tax reductions are proposed for both individuals and businesses and
jobs would be phased out largely via early retirements. Medicaid spending is the
largest target for cost savings, and assistance from the federal government in
the form of changes in allocation formulas is envisioned in current proposals.
 
     The City of New York continues to have its own knotty problems addressing
structural imbalances in its budget. The City saw its long-term general
obligation rating lowered by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group to BBB+ and Moody's
currently has the rating under review. The rating agencies object to the
continued use of budget balancing strategies that employ too many measures that
essentially raise cash to close a particular budget gap but do nothing beyond
the year in which they are used. The current set of proposals also contain some
one-time measures including a controversial plan to sell the City water system.
There were some positive developments, however, over the past few months. The
City saw some improvement on the economic front this fall. The numbers were not
large, but increases were seen in employment and tourism was up. Efforts to find
ways to make the City more attractive to business continued, including
reductions in the commercial rent tax and the hotel tax.
 
     A lack of supply of general market note issues in the short-term municipal
market over the past few months has given the market a flat and sometimes
inverted yield curve. Average weighted maturities have been constrained and new
note issues have often offered little incentive to extend, even after factoring
in a potential Fed rate cut. The Fund has consequently maintained a relatively
short maturity during the current period. New York budget issues and
creditworthiness continue to be monitored closely, and selection of high quality
securities to maintain safety and liquidity remains a primary objective. We are
pleased to report that the New York Money Fund earned a top decile rank in the
Lipper Analytical Performance Rankings for 1995.
 
     On January 31, 1996, net assets stood at $283,560,401.

                         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
 
  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 pay-

able 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 six months ended January 31, 1996, the Investment Adviser and
Administrators voluntarily waived fees totaling $185,516 and $185,516,
respectively.
 
  Expenses include legal fees amounting to $23,685 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.
