SHAREHOLDER LETTER

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to bring you the annual report for Franklin's IFT Money Market
Portfolio and Franklin U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.

The 12 months under review marked the U. S. economy's ninth year of expansion.
The long-term effects of the Federal Reserve Board's (the Fed's) 1998 policies
to ease global liquidity pressures fueled the U.S. economy, resulting in recent
signs of inflation.

Consumer spending, which represents two-thirds of U.S. gross domestic product
(GDP), increased dramatically during the period, to its highest level in 17
years. Wage gains, record low unemployment, and the much talked-about wealth
effect were key drivers to this increase. As a result, real GDP grew at a robust
annualized pace of 5.4% in the first quarter of 2000, well above the Fed's
long-term growth target rate of 3.0%.

Seeking to curb growth to a more sustainable level, the Fed raised the federal
funds target rate a total of 150 basis points (1.50%) during the past 12 months.
In March 2000, it appeared that the Fed's actions were having little effect on
the strong

economy. The majority of economic indicators pointed to an economy that was on
the verge of overheating. During the final three months of the fiscal year,
however, we began to see the first signs of a much-needed economic slowdown.
Consumer spending, housing starts, inflation as measured by the Consumer Price
Index, as well as other economic indicators displayed some signs of a slowing
economy.

Looking forward, we are optimistic that the economy will continue to moderate,
but are nonetheless concerned about inflation and the level of interest rates.
Although many people anticipate a slowdown and a soft landing, we believe it is
really too early to tell. Numerous Fed governors have cautioned against jumping
to any conclusions, and have advised waiting for more data that would confirm
the slowdown or spark further tightening. Therefore, we will closely watch
economic reports to help anticipate future Fed actions.

We continue to invest the funds' assets in only the highest quality money market
securities. Consistent with the funds' objectives of providing shareholders with
a higher quality and conservative investment vehicle, we do not invest the
funds' cash in derivatives or other potentially volatile securities that we
believe involve undue risk.

Please remember, this discussion reflects our views and opinions, as well as the
portfolio holdings, as of June 30, 2000, the end of the reporting period. Market
and economic conditions, however, are changing constantly, which can be expected
to affect our strategies and the funds' portfolio compositions. Although

than 0.35% per annum of average net assets. Without these reductions, the Fund's
current and effective 7-day yields for the period would have been 6.24% and
6.43%, respectively. Franklin Advisers, Inc. may discontinue these arrangements

FRANKLIN U.S. GOVERNMENT
SECURITIES MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

The Franklin U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio (the Fund) seeks
to provide a high level of current income, consistent with capital preservation
and liquidity. It pursues its objective by investing all of its assets in shares
of the U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio (the Portfolio), which
has an investment objective identical to the Fund's. The Portfolio, in turn,
invests primarily in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government
securities, and in marketable securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies and instrumentalities.(4) The Portfolio's composition
as of June 30, 2000, is shown to the left.

Franklin Templeton provides extended times for placing trades in the Franklin
U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio. Investors may purchase and
redeem shares each business day, up to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time (1:30 p.m. Pacific
time). This feature gives our shareholders the opportunity to invest monies
received late in the day and earn same-day dividends, rather than allow the
money to remain idle overnight or over a weekend. When purchasing shares of the
Fund, investors may also request next-day settlement exchanges to other money
market funds in the Trust.(5)

4. U.S. government securities owned by the Portfolio or held under repurchase
agreements, but not shares of the Franklin U.S. Government Securities Money
Market Portfolio, are guaranteed by the U.S. government as to the timely payment
of principal and interest.

5. The exchange program may be modified or discontinued by the Fund. Certain
funds do not permit timing accounts or there may be certain restrictions, as
detailed in each fund's prospectus.

Notes to Financial Statements


1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Institutional Fiduciary Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, consisting of three
separate series (the Funds). All Funds included in this report are diversified.
The investment objective of the Funds included in this report is to seek high
current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.

The Institutional Fiduciary Trust Money Market Portfolio (Money Market Fund) and
the Franklin U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio (U.S. Government
Fund) invest substantially all of their assets in The Money Market Portfolio and
The U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio (the Portfolios),
respectively. The Portfolios are registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 as diversified, open-end investment companies having the same investment
objectives as the Funds'. The financial statements of the Portfolios, including
the Statement of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should
be read in conjunction with the Funds' financial statements.

The following summarizes the Funds' significant accounting policies.

a. SECURITY VALUATION:

The Money Market Fund and the U.S. Government Fund hold Portfolio shares that
are valued at their proportionate interest in the net asset values of The Money
Market Portfolio and The U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio,
respectively. At June 30, 2000, the Money Market Fund owns 24.56% of The Money
Market Portfolio and the U.S. Government Fund owns 25.44% of The U.S. Government
Securities Money Market Portfolio.

b. INCOME TAXES:

No provision has been made for income taxes because each Fund's policy is to
qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income.

c. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS:

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses
on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis.
Income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividends from net investment
income and capital gains or losses are normally declared daily. Such
distributions are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

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. Other expenses are
charged to each fund on a specific identification basis.

d. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 statements and the amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


                                                                              15

Franklin Advisers Inc. (Advisers), Franklin/Templeton Distributors Inc.

transfer agent respectively, and of the Portfolios.

INSTITUTIONAL FIDUCIARY TRUST
Independent Auditors' Report


TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS
OF INSTITUTIONAL FIDUCIARY TRUST

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the statements of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the funds included in this
report constituting part of the Institutional Fiduciary Trust (hereafter
referred to as the "Funds") at June 30, 2000, the results of each of their
operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for
each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30,
2000, by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements


1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Money Market Portfolios (the Trust) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end investment company, consisting of
two separate portfolios (the Portfolios). The shares of the Trust are issued in
private placements and are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933. The Portfolios seek high current income consistent with preservation of
capital and liquidity.

The following summarizes the Portfolios' significant accounting policies.

a. SECURITY VALUATION:

Securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates value.

b. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:

The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements, which are accounted for as
a loan by the Portfolios to the seller, collateralized by securities which are
delivered to the Portfolios' custodian. The market value, including accrued
interest, of the initial collateralization is required to be at least 102% of
the dollar amount invested by the Portfolios, with the value of the underlying
securities marked to market daily to maintain coverage of at least 100%. At June
30, 2000, all outstanding repurchase agreements held by the Portfolios had been
entered into on that date.

c. INCOME TAXES:

No provision has been made for income taxes because each Portfolio's policy is
to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and
to distribute substantially all of its taxable income.

d. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS:

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses
on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis.
Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividends from net
investment income and capital gains or losses are normally declared daily. Such
distributions are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolios.

Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the Portfolios based
on the ratio of net assets of each Portfolio to the combined net assets. Other
expenses are charged to each Portfolio on a specific identification basis.

e. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 statements and the amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIOS
Independent Auditors' Report


TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIOS

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the statements of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting
The Money Market Portfolios (hereafter referred to as the "Portfolios") at June
30, 2000, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the
changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolios' management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States,
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at June 30, 2000 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

SHAREHOLDER LETTER


Your Fund's Goal: The Franklin Cash Reserves Fund seeks a high level of current
income, consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital. The Fund invests
all of its assets in the shares of The Money Market Portfolio (the Portfolio),
which has the same investment objective. The Fund attempts to maintain a stable
net asset value of $1.00 per share, although there is no guarantee that it will
accomplish this goal.(1)


Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to bring you the annual report for the Franklin Cash Reserves
Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.

The 12 months under review marked the U. S. economy's ninth year of expansion.
The long-term effects of the Federal Reserve Board's (the Fed's) 1998 policies
to ease global liquidity pressures fueled the U.S. economy, resulting in recent
signs of inflation.

Consumer spending, which represents two-thirds of U.S. gross domestic product
(GDP), increased dramatically during the period, to its highest level in 17
years. Wage gains, record low unemployment, and the much talked-about wealth
effect were key drivers to this increase. As a result,



(1.) An investment in Franklin Cash Reserves 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.

real GDP grew at a robust annualized pace of 5.4% in the first quarter of 2000,
well above the Fed's long-term growth target rate of 3.0%.

Seeking to curb growth to a more sustainable level, the Fed raised the federal
funds target rate a total of 150 basis points (1.50%) during the past 12 months.
In March 2000, it appeared that the Fed's actions were having little effect on
the strong economy. The majority of economic indicators pointed to an economy
that was on the verge of overheating. During the final three months of the
fiscal year, however, we began to see the first signs of a much-needed economic
slowdown. Consumer spending, housing starts, inflation as measured by the
Consumer Price Index, as well as other economic indicators displayed some signs
of a slowing economy.

Looking forward, we are optimistic that the economy will
continue to moderate, but are nonetheless concerned about inflation and the
level of interest rates. Although many people anticipate a slowdown and a soft
landing, we believe it is really too early to tell. Numerous Fed governors have
cautioned #against jumping to any conclusions, and have advised waiting for more
data that would confirm the slowdown or spark further tightening. Therefore, we
will closely watch economic reports to help anticipate future Fed actions.

We continue to invest the Portfolio's assets in only the highest quality money
market securities. For example, on June 30, 2000, more than 75% of the
securities purchased for the Portfolio carried a AA or higher long-term credit
rating by Standard & Poor's(R) and Moody's, two independent credit rating
agencies,



2
<PAGE>
with the balance rated A.(2) Consistent with the Fund's objective of providing
shareholders with a higher quality and conservative investment vehicle, we do
not invest the Portfolio's cash in derivatives or other potentially volatile
securities that we believe involve undue risk.

Please remember that this discussion reflects our views and opinions, as well as
the portfolio holdings, as of June 30, 2000, the end of the reporting period.
Market and economic conditions, however, are changing constantly, which can be
expected to affect our strategies and the fund's portfolio composition. Although
historical performance is no guarantee of future results, these insights may
help you understand our investment and management philosophy.

We appreciate your support, welcome new shareholders and look forward to serving
your investment needs in the years ahead.


Sincerely,

/S/ C. B. Johnson

Chairman
Franklin's Institutional Fiduciary Trust

FRANKLIN CASH RESERVES FUND

Notes to Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin Cash Reserves Fund (the Fund) is a separate, diversified series of
Institutional Fiduciary Trust (the Trust). The Trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, consisting of
three separate series (the Funds). The Fund seeks high current income consistent
with the preservation of capital and liquidity.

The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in The Money Market Portfolio
(the Portfolio), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as
a diversified, open-end investment company having the same investment objectives
as the Fund. 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.

The following summarizes the Fund's significant accounting policies.

a. SECURITY VALUATION

The Fund holds portfolio shares that are valued at its proportionate interest in
the net asset value of the Portfolio. As of June 30, 2000, the Fund owns 2.89%
of the Portfolio.

b. INCOME TAXES

No provision has been made for income taxes because the Fund's policy is to
qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income.

c. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses
on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis.
Income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividends from net investment
income and capital gains or losses are normally declared daily. Such
distributions are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.

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. Other expenses are
charged to each fund on a specific identification basis.

d. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 statements and the amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of
Franklin Advisers, Inc. (Advisers), Franklin/Templeton Distributors, Inc.
(Distributors), and Franklin/Templeton Investors Services, Inc. (Investors
Services), the Fund's administrative manager, principal underwriter, and
transfer agent, respectively, and of the Portfolio.

The Fund pays an administrative fee to Advisers of .25% per year of the Fund's
average daily net assets.

The Fund reimburses Distributors up to .25% per year of its average daily net
assets, for costs incurred in marketing the Fund's shares.

The Fund paid transfer agent fees of $153,957 of which $99,194 was paid to
Investor Services.

Included in professional fees are legal fees of $6,029 that were paid to a law
firm in which a partner of that firm was an officer of the Fund.

Independent Auditors' Report

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS
OF INSTITUTIONAL FIDUCIARY TRUST

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the statement of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Franklin Cash Reserves Fund (the
"Fund") (one of the funds constituting the Institutional Fiduciary Trust) at
June 30, 2000, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the
changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and
the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June
30, 2000 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Money Market Portfolios (the Trust) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end investment company, consisting of
two separate portfolios (the Portfolios). The shares of the Trust are issued in
private placements and are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933. The Portfolios seek high current income consistent with preservation of
capital and liquidity.

The following summarizes the Portfolios' significant accounting policies.

a. SECURITY VALUATION:

Securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates value.

b. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:

The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements, which are accounted for as
a loan by the Portfolios to the seller, collateralized by securities which are
delivered to the Portfolios' custodian. The market value, including accrued
interest, of the initial collateralization is required to be at least 102% of
the dollar amount invested by the Portfolios, with the value of the underlying
securities marked to market daily to maintain coverage of at least 100%. At June
30, 2000, all outstanding repurchase agreements held by the Portfolios had been
entered into on that date.

c. INCOME TAXES:

No provision has been made for income taxes because each Portfolio's policy is
to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and
to distribute substantially all of its taxable income.

d. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS:

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses
on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis.
Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividends from net
investment income and capital gains or losses are normally declared daily. Such
distributions are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolios.

Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the Portfolios based
on the ratio of net assets of each Portfolio to the combined net assets. Other
expenses are charged to each Portfolio on a specific identification basis.

e. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 statements and the amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIOS
Independent Auditors' Report

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIOS

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the statements of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting
The Money Market Portfolios (hereafter referred to as the "Portfolios") at June
30, 2000, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the
changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolios' management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States,
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at June 30, 2000 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
