INSTITUTIONAL CASH RESERVES

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Similar to the environment of the preceding nine months or so, the money markets
were dominated virtually throughout the six months ended June 30, 1997 by
ongoing concerns about inflation pressures, an overly strong economy, and an
official move in interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board.  The difference
was that during this period, there actually was action by the Federal Reserve
Board.

By staying disciplined to the purchase of high quality instruments and actively
adjusting duration and sector allocation as market conditions changed, the
managers of the Institutional Cash Reserves (the "Fund") were able to produce
competitive yields.  In fact, the Fund's annualized 7-day effective yield of
5.68% as of June 30, 1997 was higher than the 5.49% yield of the IBC First Tier-
Institutional Only Money Funds average.* The Fund's 7-day current yield as of
June 30, 1997, was 5.52%.

MARKET ACTIVITY

This semi-annual period was much more volatile in comparison to the previous
period.  On March 25, 1997, the Federal Reserve Board increased the fed funds
rate from 5.25% to 5.50%--the first increase in over two years.   Economic
strength, as evidenced by first quarter GDP growth of 5.8%, strong consumer
spending and home-building, and increased manufacturing inventories, prompted
the official and widely expected move.  Interestingly, this above-trend economic
growth did not result in a rise in the reported inflation rate.

     ------------------------------------------------------------------
                             INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS
     Bank obligations, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury obligations and
     repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations.
     ------------------------------------------------------------------

This low inflationary pressure, along with signs that the economy was slowing in
the second quarter, was likely the major reason the Federal Reserve Board chose
not to raise interest rates again when it met on May 20th, surprising many
industry analysts and investors who had anticipated that they would.

     ------------------------------------------------------------------
                                    OBJECTIVE
                    Seeks high current income consistent with
                     liquidity and preservation of capital.
     ------------------------------------------------------------------

The period following this meeting was quiet, punctuated by continuous growth,
high consumer confidence, and a strong equity market.  While nonfarm payroll
gains were weak, unemployment stayed low and inflation remained scarce. GDP
growth for the second quarter was only 1.75%.  This type of economic activity,
together with the absence of an official move in interest rates, led to very
little price volatility on the money market curve in June.

INVESTMENT REVIEW

After lengthening the Fund's average maturity in the second half of 1996, we
moved to a somewhat defensive, shorter-than-benchmark position throughout the
first quarter of 1997, in anticipation of the late March rate hike.  Once the
Federal Reserve Board raised rates and economic growth waned, we moved to a more
neutral stance in the portfolio.  We did not extend the portfolio's maturity,
because we saw no value in the flat yield curve.  This strategy, along with
strong sector allocation, proved to be quite effective in adding value to the
Fund through the semi-annual period.

                                  Moody's: AAA
     ------------------------------------------------------------------

MANAGER OUTLOOK

We expect to stay in a slightly defensive position for the near term for several
reasons.  First, we view the money market curve as very expensive right now.  We
believe the money markets have essentially priced out any possibility of higher
interest rates over the next year.  In addition, with continued low
unemployment, record high consumer confidence, the wealth effect of the equity
markets, and a much lower interest rate structure than existed earlier this
year, we feel that the risks are still asymmetric for a resumption in economic
growth for the second half of the year.

                             STATUS AT JUNE 30, 1997
                        Seven day effective yield:  5.68%
                           Average maturity:  30 days
                           Net assets:  $1,741 million

                        BY ASSET TYPE AS OF JUNE 30, 1997
                     (PERCENTAGES ARE BASED ON MARKET VALUE)

                        Floating Rate Notes            15%
                        Certificates of Deposit        18%
                        Euro Certificates of Deposit    9%
                        Commercial Paper               35%
                        Eurodollar Time Deposits       23%

In short, current data supports the notion that the Federal Reserve Board is on
hold and that the economy is enjoying the best of all possible worlds.  However,
while we are currently in a period of "fixed income nirvana," the future risks
for the acceleration of economic activity and for ultimately higher short-term
yields seems evident.

We will, of course, continue to closely observe economic conditions and how they
affect the financial markets, as we seek to provide high current income
consistent with liquidity and capital preservation.

As always, we appreciate your ongoing support of the BT Institutional Cash
Reserves Fund, and we look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs
for many years ahead.

INSTITUTIONAL CASH RESERVES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  ORGANIZATION

BT Institutional Funds ("the Trust") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 ("the Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Trust was organized on March 26, 1990, as a business trust under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Institutional Cash Reserves
(the "Fund") is one of the institutional funds offered to investors by the
Trust. The Fund commenced operations and began offering shares of beneficial
interest on January 25, 1994. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets
in the Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The Portfolio is an open-end
management investment company registered under the Act. The Fund seeks to
achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in
the Portfolio. The value of such investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund's
proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. At June 30, 1997, the
Fund's investment was approximately 42% of the Portfolio.

The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Schedule of Portfolio
Investments, are contained elsewhere in this report.

B.  INVESTMENT INCOME

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investment in the
Portfolio. All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains
and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro
rata among the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

C.  ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES

Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its organization and initial
registration are being amortized evenly over a five year period.

D.  DIVIDENDS

It is the Fund's policy to declare dividends daily and pay monthly to
shareholders from net investment income. Dividends payable to shareholders are
recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net realized
short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, earned by the Fund will be made
annually.

E.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code and distribute its income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required.


F.  OTHER

The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities, and operations of the
Fund. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to that Fund, while
expenses which are attributable to all of the Trust's funds are allocated among
them.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.

NOTE 2--FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has entered into an Administration and Services Agreement with Bankers
Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). Under this Administration and Services
Agreement, Bankers Trust provides administrative, custody, transfer agency and
shareholder services to the Fund in return for a fee computed daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate of 0.05 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, this fee aggregated $440,868.

Under the Distribution Agreement with the Trust, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the
Act, Edgewood Services, Inc. ("Edgewood") may seek reimbursement at an annual
rate not exceeding 0.10 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets, for
expenses incurred in connection with any activities primarily intended to result
in the sale of the Fund's shares. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, there
were no reimbursable expenses incurred under this agreement.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Fund, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.00 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund, excluding expenses of the Portfolio and
0.18 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, including expenses of
the Portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, expenses of the Fund have
been reduced by $617,418.

Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or
employees of Edgewood. None of the trustees so affiliated received compensation
for services as trustees of the Fund. Similarly, none of the Fund's officers
received compensation from the Fund.

CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  ORGANIZATION

The Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act"), as amended, as an open-end
management investment company. The Portfolio was organized on March 26, 1990, as
an unincorporated trust under the laws of New York, and commenced operations on
July 23, 1990. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees (the
"Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

B.  SECURITY VALUATION

Investments are valued at amortized cost, which has been determined by the
Trustees to represent fair value of the Portfolio's investments.

C.  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INTEREST INCOME

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and
discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions
are recorded on the identified cost basis.

D.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions
deemed to be creditworthy by the Portfolio's Investment Adviser, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon
price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with
the Portfolio's custodian, and pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement
must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase
price plus all accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying
securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest,
the Portfolio will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the
next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the
seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Portfolio maintains the right
to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting
loss against the seller. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the
seller, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.

All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses
from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the
investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

E.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

F. OTHER

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.

NOTE 2--FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFITIATES

The Portfolio has entered into an Administration and Services Agreement with
Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). Under this Administration and Services
Agreement, Bankers Trust provides administrative, custody, transfer agency and
shareholder services to the Portfolio in return for a fee computed daily and
paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05 of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, this fee aggregated
$1,030,152.

The Portfolio has entered into an Advisory Agreement with Bankers Trust. Under
this Advisory Agreement, the Portfolio pays Bankers Trust an advisory fee
computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15 of 1% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1997,
this fee aggregated $3,090,456.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.18 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six months ended June 30,
1997, expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $446,410.

Certain trustees and officers of the Portfolio are also directors, officers
and/or employees of Edgewood. None of the trustees so affiliated received
compensation for services as trustees of the Portfolio. Similarly, none of the
Portfolio's officers received compensation from the Portfolio.
