CHARLES B. JOHNSON
Chairman of the Board


Dear AEA Member,

We welcome you to the AEA Cash Management Fund and are pleased to bring you
this semi-annual report, covering the period ended December 31, 1994.

The AEA Cash Management Fund, which became effective February 8, 1994, was
developed exclusively for member companies of the American Electronics
Association (AEA) as a short-term investment vehicle for surplus corporate
cash. Managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc., the fund provides AEA member firms
the opportunity to earn competitive yields while allowing them to devote
valuable time to other important treasury responsibilities. The fund's shares
are offered through Franklin Templeton Distributors, Inc., part of the Franklin
Templeton organization, which currently has over $114 billion in assets under
management. Franklin Templeton is built on over half a century of investment
management experience, with expertise that covers a broad spectrum of
investments.

Since February 1994, short-term interest rates have risen dramatically, led by
the Federal Reserve's tightening of monetary policy. As a result of the fund's
relatively short average weighted maturity, portfolio managers were generally
able to reinvest quickly into securities offering higher current yields. The
fund benefited, as its 7-day yield rose 158 basis points during the six-month
period.

Even before the turnaround in rates, our money market portfolio managers
employed traditional, time-proven strategies, which have been a central part of
our money fund management philosophy for nearly two decades. Our approach
relies on extensive credit research and active management, avoiding exotic,
derivative securities that can entail undue risk to the fund's objectives of
capital preservation and liquidity. We believe that a disciplined security
selection process allows us to maintain high quality portfolios and best serves
our AEA member shareholders.

Thank you for your support of the AEA Cash Management Fund. We look forward to
serving your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

Charles B. Johnson
Chairman of the Board,
Franklin's Institutional Fiduciary Trust

OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMY

Despite volatility in the securities markets, the U.S. economy showed
considerable strength during 1994. Annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
through the third quarter 1994 averaged 4.40%, compared with just 2.55% for the
prior year. Many economists expected the holiday shopping season to fuel fourth
quarter 1994 GDP. Meanwhile, the country's unemployment rate steadily declined
to 5.4% as of December 31, 1994, and the capacity utilization rate has risen to
over 85.4% as of December 31, 1994.

Although reported economic data has yet to show a significant rise in
inflation, the Federal Reserve Board moved on six occasions during 1994 to
preempt the inflation increases that normally accompany economic recoveries.
During the reporting period, the Federal Reserve pushed up the federal funds
rate -- the interest rate banks charge one another for overnight loans --
another 125 basis points, from 4.25% to 5.50%. Since February 1994, the Federal
Reserve has raised the federal funds rate by a total of 250 basis points.
        
Looking ahead, lower unemployment and higher corporate earnings unfolding into
1995 will likely translate into higher personal income and spending, which
should continue to fuel the economic growth currently underway. As the economy
approaches full employment, however, capacity utilization rates in the nation's
factories typically rise to a point where labor costs exert additional
inflationary pressures. In addition, many predict GDP growth above the Federal
Reserve's long-term target of 2.5%. As a result, it seems likely the Federal
Reserve may continue to raise short-term rates in the near term in order to
prevent inflation from getting out of control.

AEA CASH
MANAGEMENT FUND

The AEA Cash Management Fund's objective is high current income, consistent
with capital preservation and liquidity. It seeks to achieve this objective by
investing all of its assets in The Money Market Portfolio (the Portfolio),
whose investment objective and policies are the same as the fund's. The
Portfolio, in turn, invests in various money market instruments, such as:

o U.S. government and federal agency obligations(1)
o Certificates of deposit
o Bankers' acceptances
o High grade commercial paper
o High grade short-term corporate obligations
o Repurchase agreements collateralized by
  U.S. government securities(1)

The portfolio's composition as of December 31, 1994, is shown to the left.

GRAPHIC MATERIAL (2) OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX

Consistent with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the
Portfolio's holdings are limited to money market instruments within the two
highest rating categories assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation or Moody's
Investors Service, or in non-rated securities determined by the managers to be
of comparable quality. In addition, the Portfolio invests 100% of its assets in
securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less. Such relatively short
maturities allow the portfolio to adjust quickly to changes in interest rates.

Through investing in a portfolio of high quality, short-term securities, the
AEA Cash Management Fund can provide a high level of credit safety combined
with a stable net asset value.(2) Its competitive yield has also made it an
attractive alternative to bank money market investments, as well as a
convenient way to diversify cash holdings.(3)

1. U.S. government securities owned by the Portfolio or held under repurchase
agreement, but not shares of the AEA Cash Management Fund, are guaranteed by
the U.S. government as to the timely payment of principal and interest.
2. An investment in the AEA Cash Management Fund is neither insured nor
guaranteed by the U.S. government or by any other entity or institution. There
is no assurance that the $1.00 share price will be maintained.
3. Shares of the fund are not deposits or obligations of any bank or financial
institution. They are not insured or guaranteed by any such institution, the
FDIC, the U.S. government or any government agency, and involve investment
risks, including possible loss of principal.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

In response to the continued rise in short-term interest rates, we reduced the
Portfolio's weighted average maturity, from 48 days on June 30, 1994, to 27
days on December 31, 1994. This strategy enabled us to reinvest more quickly in
securities offering higher current interest rates and also helped increase the
Fund's seven-day current yield, from 3.85% on June 30, 1994, to 5.43% on
December 31, 1994.(3)


PERFORMANCE FIGURES
Period Ended December 31, 1994

GRAPHIC MATERIAL (3) OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX

4. The fund's manager has agreed in advance to waive a portion of its
management fees and make payments of certain other expenses to limit total
operating expenses to no more than 0.26% per annum of average net assets.
Without these reductions, the fund's yield would have been lower and the
current and effective 7-day yields for the period would have been 4.63% and
4.74%, respectively. The fund's manager may discontinue these arrangements at
any time after June 30, 1995. Yield reflects fluctuations in interest rates on
portfolio investments and fund expenses. Past performance does not guarantee
future results.

INSTITUTIONAL FIDUCIARY TRUST

AEA CASH MANAGEMENT FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Institutional Fiduciary Trust (the Trust) is a diversified, open-end management
investment company (mutual fund), registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. The Trust currently consists of nine separate and distinct
Portfolios. This report pertains only to the AEA Cash Management Fund (the AEA
Fund) included in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Funds
issues a separate series of the Trust's shares and maintains a totally separate
and distinct investment portfolio.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies.

A. SECURITY VALUATION: The AEA Fund invests all of its investable assets in The
Money Market Portfolio (Portfolio). The value of such investment reflects the
Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. As of
December 31, 1994, the AEA Fund owns 0.10% of the Portfolio. The Portfolio's
shares held by the Fund are valued at the net asset value of the Portfolio. The
financial statements of the Portfolio, including the statement of investments,
are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with
the Fund's financial statements.

B. INCOME TAXES: The Trust intends to continue to qualify for the tax treatment
applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code
and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be
sufficient to relieve it from income and excise taxes. Therefore, no income tax
provision is required. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity in the
determination of compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.

C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS:  Security transactions are accounted for on the date
the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on
security transactions are determined on the basis of specific identification
for both financial statement and income tax purposes.

D. INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS:  Net investment income
includes income,  calculated on an accrual basis, and estimated expenses which
are accrued daily. The total available for dividends is computed daily and
includes the net investment income, plus or minus any gains or losses on
security transactions and changes in unrealized portfolio appreciation or
depreciation, if any.

Dividends are normally declared for each day the New York Stock Exchange is
open for business, equal to the total available for distributions (as defined
above), and are payable to shareholders of record as of the close of business
that day. Such dividends are automatically declared daily and reinvested
monthly in additional shares of these Funds at net asset value.

E. EXPENSE ALLOCATION:  Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated
among the Funds based on the ratio of net assets of each Fund to the combined
net assets. In all other respects, expenses are charged to each Fund as
incurred on a specific identification basis.

2. UNAMORTIZED ORGANIZATION COSTS

The organization costs of the AEA Fund are amortized on a straight line basis
over a period of five years from the effective date of registration under the
Securities Act of 1933. In the event that Franklin Resources, Inc., (which was
the sole shareholder prior to the effective date) redeems its initial shares
within the five-year period, the pro-rata share of the then-unamortized
deferred organization cost will be deducted from the redemption price paid to
Franklin Resources, Inc. New investors purchasing shares of the fund subsequent
to that date bear such costs during the amortization period only as such
charges are accrued daily against investment income.

3. TRUST SHARES

At December 31, 1994 there were an unlimited number of no par value shares of
beneficial interest authorized, and paid-in capital aggregated $1,397,796.
Transactions in the AEA Fund's shares at $1.00 per share for the six months
ended December 31, 1994 and the period February 8, 1994 (effective date of
registration) to June 30, 1994 are as follows:

4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Aggregate purchases and sales/maturities of securities for the six months
ended December 31, 1994 aggregated $613,871 and $156,854 respectively.

5. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

Franklin Advisers, Inc. ("Advisers"), under terms of an agreement, provides
investment advice, administrative services, office space and facilities to the
AEA Fund, and received fees computed monthly on the last day of the month at an
annualized rate of 3/100 of 1% of the average daily net assets. Fees incurred
by the AEA Fund under the management agreement aggregated $171 for the six
months ended December 31, 1994. The terms of these agreements provide that
aggregate annual expenses of the Fund be limited to the extent necessary to
comply with the limitations set forth in the laws, regulations, and
administrative interpretations of the states in which the Fund's shares are
registered. The Fund's expenses would have exceeded these limitations; however,
for the six months ended December 31, 1994, Franklin Advisers, Inc. agreed in

THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIOS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Money Market Portfolios (the Money Market) is a no load, open-end
diversified management investment company (mutual fund), registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Money Market has
two portfolios (the Portfolios) consisting of: The Money Market
Portfolio and The U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio. Each
of the Portfolios issues a separate series of shares and maintains a totally
separate and distinct investment portfolio. The shares of the Money Market
are issued in private placements and are thus exempt from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements.
The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
for investment companies.

A. SECURITY VALUATION:

Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
Each of the Portfolios must maintain a dollar weighted average maturity of 90
days or less and only purchase instruments having remaining maturities of 397
days or less. If a Portfolio has a remaining weighted average maturity of
greater than 90 days, the Portfolio will be stated at value based on recorded
closing sales on a national securities exchange or, in the absence of a
recorded sale, within the range of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices.
The trustees have established procedures designed to stabilize, to the extent
reasonably possible, each Portfolio's price per share as computed for the
purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00.

B. INCOME TAXES:

The Money Market intends to continue to qualify for the tax treatment
applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code
and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be
sufficient to relieve it from income and excise taxes. Therefore, no income tax
provision is required.

Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity in the determination of
compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.

C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS:

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on security
transactions are determined on the basis of specific identification for both
financial statement and income tax purposes.

D. INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS:

Net investment income includes income, calculated on an accrual basis,
amortization of original issue and market discount or premium (if any), and
estimated expenses which are accrued daily. The total available for dividends
is computed daily and includes the net investment income, plus or minus any
gains or losses on security transactions and changes in unrealized portfolio
appreciation or depreciation, (if any).

Dividends are normally declared for each day the New York Stock Exchange is
open for business, equal to the total available for distributions (as defined
above), and are payable to shareholders of record as of the close of business
that day. Such dividends are automatically reinvested monthly in additional
shares of the Portfolio at net asset value.

E. EXPENSE ALLOCATION:

Common expenses incurred by the Money Market are allocated among the Portfolios
based on the ratio of net assets of each Portfolio to the combined net assets.
In all other respects, expenses are charged to each Portfolio as incurred on a
specific identification basis.

F. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:

The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements with government securities
dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board and/or member banks of the
Federal Reserve System. In a repurchase agreement, the Portfolios purchases a
U.S. government security from a dealer or bank subject to an agreement to
resell it at a mutually agreed upon price and date. Such a transaction is
accounted for as a loan by the Portfolio to the seller, collateralized by the
underlying security. The transaction requires the initial collateralization of
the seller's obligation by U.S. government securities with market value,
including accrued interest, of at least 102% of the dollar amount invested by
the Portfolio, with the value of the underlying security marked to market daily
to maintain coverage of at least 100%. The collateral is delivered to the
Portfolios' custodian and held until resold to the dealer or bank. At December
31, 1994, all outstanding repurchase agreements held by the Portfolios had been
entered into on that date.

The Portfolios may enter into a sweep agreement with their custodian bank. In a
sweep, the excess cash in the Portfolios' direct deposit accounts at the end of
the day is invested overnight. The Money Market Portfolio's excess cash is
invested in a AAA rated time deposit of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company's Nassau
branch. The U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio's excess cash is
invested in a U.S. government backed repurchase agreement with Morgan Guaranty
of New York. Funds are returned to the Portfolios' direct deposit accounts as
the first transaction of the next business day.
