Equity 500 Index Fund

Letter to Shareholders
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are pleased to present you with this semi-annual report for the BT
Institutional Equity 500 Index Fund (the "Fund"), providing a review of the
markets, the Portfolio, and our outlook as well as a complete financial summary
of the Fund's operations and a listing of the Portfolio's holdings.

MARKET ACTIVITY
As the U.S. economic expansion embarked on its seventh straight year, most of
the major equity market indices posted positive gains for the first half of
1998.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                    Objective
Seeks to match the performance of the stock market, as represented by the S&P
500 Index, before expenses.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stocks climbed through the first quarter despite concerns of an imminent market
correction. The S&P 500 Index crossed the 1,000 mark for the first time in
February 1998, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average neared a new milestone
towards the end of March. Despite negative news for technology stocks, stronger
than anticipated earnings expectations for Microsoft helped to carry this sector
to a solid finish for the quarter.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             Investment Instruments
Primarily equity securities, consisting of common stock of current S&P 500
companies.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Volatility increased in the second quarter, though the equity indices continued
to reach record highs. Having broken the 8,000 barrier in July 1997, the Dow
Jones Industrial Average hit the 9,000 milestone in early April 1998. The S&P
500 Index continued to climb. Towards the end of April, fears of a tightening by
the Federal Reserve Board sparked a huge drop in the market. But a lower than
expected Employment Cost Index helped stocks rebound on April 30. Equities were
then down again in May, primarily due to volatility in the technology sector.
Stocks rebounded quickly again, as the General Motors strike helped calm
expectations of a Fed tightening at the end of June. Finally, having spent the
greater portion of the second quarter above the 9,000 mark, the Dow Jones lost
steam and finished off the semi-annual period below that point based largely on
warnings about corporate profits. The Federal Reserve Board remained on hold
throughout.

Overall, large capitalization stocks significantly outperformed small cap stocks
and mid cap stocks for the semi-annual period. In contrast to the previous
period, growth stocks outperformed value stocks within the large cap sector
throughout these six months. Technology, consumer cyclical, and health care were
the leading groups for the period. The weakest performing sectors included basic
materials, utilities, and transportation, all of which still produced positive
returns.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Ten Largest Stock Holdings
  -----------------------------------------------------
  General Electric Co.        Pfizer, Inc.
  Microsoft Corp.             Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

year period ended June 30, 1998 and number 2 out of 34 funds for the 5 year
period ended June 30, 1998 in the Lipper Analytical S&P 500 Index Objective. The
Fund has earned a five-star rating from Morningstar based on its overall
performance as of June 30, 1998 out of 2,545 domestic equity funds.(1)

(1) Morningstar  proprietary  ratings reflect historical  risk-adjusted
    performance as of June 30, 1998. They are subject to change every month.
    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Ratings are calculated
    from the Fund's 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) average annual total
    return in excess of 90-day Treasury-bill returns with appropriate fee
    adjustments, and a risk factor that reflects fund performance below 90-day
    T-bill returns. The Fund received 5 stars for the three- and five-year
    periods and was rated among 2,545 and 1,462 domestic equity funds,
    respectively. The top 10% of funds in a rating universe receive 5 stars.
(2) Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment return and
    principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed,
    may be worth more or less than their original cost.
(3) The S&P 500 is an index of common stocks in industry, transportation, and
    financial and public utility companies. This index is unmanaged. Investments
    cannot be made in an index. Total return for the Fund assumes reinvestment
    of dividends and distributions.
(4) Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns, reported by all
    of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as
    falling into the respective categories indicated. The Lipper figures do not
    reflect sales charges.

MANAGER OUTLOOK
With the Federal Reserve Board on hold, stable interest rates should provide
some support for U.S. equities. However there are a few long-term factors that
may impact the market.

o Stocks face the prospect of more moderate earnings growth, as the economy
  inevitably slows from its first quarter GDP growth rate of more than 5% and as
  rising labor costs squeeze corporate profit margins.

o Financial turmoil in Asia and questions about Japan getting its economy back
  on track will continue to dominate financial markets around the globe.

o Once the perception of the Asian crisis shifts to a more positive note, the
  U.S. stock market could face tougher sledding, as investors begin to weigh the
  likelihood of a shift to tighter monetary policy by the Federal Reserve Board.

Still, for the near term, solid growth, low inflation, and accommodative
interest rates should continue to form an almost ideal backdrop for the U.S.
equity markets.

Of course, it is important to reiterate that as an index fund, designed to
replicate the broad diversification and returns of the S&P 500 Index, we neither
evaluate short-term fluctuations in the Fund's performance nor manage according
to a given outlook for the equity markets or the economy in general. Still, we
will continue monitoring economic conditions and how they affect the financial
markets, as we seek to closely track the performance of the stock market.

As always, we appreciate your ongoing support of the BT Institutional Equity 500
Index Fund, and we look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs for
many years to come.

Equity 500 Index Fund

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 Equity 500 Index Fund (the
"Fund") is one of the funds offered to investors by Trust. The Fund commenced
operations and began offering shares of beneficial interest on December 31,
1992. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its
investable assets in the Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The
Portfolio is an open-end management investment company registered under the Act.
The value of such investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate
interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. At June 30, 1998, the Fund's
investment was 48.34% of the Portfolio.

The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Statement of Net
Assets, 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. Dividends
It is the Fund's policy to declare and distribute dividends quarterly 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.

D. Federal Income Taxes
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code and distribute income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required. The Fund may periodically make reclassifications among
certain of its capital accounts as a result of timing and characterization of
certain income and capital gains distributions determined annually in accordance
with federal tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles.

E. 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 that are attributable to the Trust are allocated among the Funds in the
Trust.

F. Estimates
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. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Note 2--Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund has entered in 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 .05% of the Fund's average daily net assets. At
June 30, 1998, amounts owed under the Administration and Services Agreement
amounted to $1,809, net of waived expenses of $76,643.

The Trust entered into a Distribution Agreement with Edgewood Services, Inc.
("Edgewood"). Under the Distribution Agreement with the Trust, pursuant to Rule
12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Edgewood may seek reimbursement at an annual rate not
exceeding .20% of each Fund's average daily net assets, for expenses incurred in
connection with any activities primarily intended to result in the sale of each
Fund's shares. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, 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 .02% of the average daily
net assets of the Fund, excluding expenses of the Portfolio and .10% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund, including expenses of the Portfolio. For
the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, expenses of the Fund have been reduced
by $284,800.

The Equity 500 Index Fund is a participant with other affiliated entities in a
revolving credit facility ("the revolver") and a discretionary demand line of
credit facility ("collectively the credit facilities") in the amounts of
$50,000,000 and $100,000,000, respectively. A commitment fee of .07% per annum
on the average daily amount of the available commitment is payable on a
quarterly basis and apportioned equally among all participants. Amounts borrowed
under the credit facilities will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate plus .45%. No amounts were drawn down or outstanding under
the credit facilities as of and for the period ended June 30, 1998.

Certain officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or employees of
Edgewood. None of the officers so affiliated received compensation for services
as officers of the Fund.

Effective August 11, 1998, ICC Distributors, Inc. will replace Edgewood as
distributor of the Trust.

Note 3--Shares of Beneficial Interest
At June 30, 1998, there were an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as

Equity 500 Index Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1--Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
A. Organization
The Equity 500 Index 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 December 11, 1991
as an unincorporated trust under the laws of New York and commenced operations
on December 31, 1992. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees
(the "Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

B. Security Valuation
The Portfolio's investments are valued each business day by an independent
pricing service approved by the Trustees. Securities traded on national
exchanges or traded in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last
sales prices reported at the close of business each day. Over-the-counter
securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System and listed
securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and
asked prices. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or
less are valued at amortized cost that, with accrued interest, approximates
value. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair
value as determined by the Trustees.

C. Security Transactions and Interest Income
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

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.

D. Futures Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts that are contracts to
buy a standard quantity of securities at a specified price on a future date. The
Portfolio is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount equal to
a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or
received by the Portfolio each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the
value of the underlying security, and are recorded for financial statement
purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the
board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

E. Federal Income Taxes
It is in 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. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Note 2--Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
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 .05% of the Portfolio's average daily net
assets. At June 30, 1998, amounts owed under the Administration and Services
Agreement amounted to $78,558, net of waived expenses of $80,412.

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 .075% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets. For the period January 1, 1998 to April 30, 1998 the
Advisory fee was .10%. At June 30, 1998, amounts owed under the Advisory
Agreement amounted to $173,136, net of waived expenses of $144,804.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive its fees and reimburse
expenses of the Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to
 .08% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six-month period
ended June 30, 1998, expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $1,032,352.

The Portfolio may invest in the BT Institutional Cash Management Fund (the
"Fund"), an open-end management investment company managed by Bankers Trust
Company (the "Company"). The Fund is offered as a cash management option to the
Portfolio and other accounts managed by the Company. Distributions from the Fund
to the Portfolio as of June 30, 1998 amounted to $2,082,691 and are included in
dividend income.

The Portfolio is a participant with other affiliated entities in a revolving
credit facility ("the revolver") and a discretionary demand line of credit
facility ("collectively the credit facilities") in the amounts of $50,000,000
and $100,000,000, respectively. A commitment fee of .07% per annum on the
average daily amount of the available commitment is payable on a quarterly basis
and apportioned equally among all participants. Amounts borrowed under the
credit facilities will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate plus .45%. No amounts were drawn down or outstanding under the credit
facilities as of and for the period ended June 30, 1998.

On September  30, 1996,  the Trust  entered into a  Distribution  Agreement
with  Edgewood  Services,  Inc.  ("Edgewood"). Effective August 11, 1998,
ICCDistributors, Inc. will replace Edgewood as distributor of the Trust.

Certain officers of the Portfolio are also directors, officers and employees of
Edgewood. None of the officers so affiliated received compensation for services
as officers of the Portfolio.

Effective August 11, 1998, ICCDistributors, Inc. will replace Edgewood as
distributor of the Trust.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, the Equity 500 Index Portfolio
paid brokerage commissions of $226,179.
