BT INSTITUTIONAL TREASURY MONEY FUND

Letter to Shareholders

We are pleased to present you with this semi-annual report for the BT
Institutional Treasury Money Fund (the "Fund"), providing a detailed review of
the market, the Portfolio, and our outlook. Included are a complete financial
summary of the Fund's operations and a listing of the Portfolio's holdings.

MARKET ACTIVITY

The Treasury market was dominated by foreign activity rather than U.S. economic
factors or Federal Reserve Board policy in the first six months of 1998.

o The hangover effects of the Asian financial crises, which began in Korea,
  Indonesia, and Thailand, spread to China and Japan. This both focused the U.S.
  markets on that region and also continued to support a flight to quality and,
  in turn, a U.S. Treasury rally.

o Domestically, the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy weakened due to the
  impact of the Asian turmoil. However, the service sector, which currently
  constitutes approximately two-thirds of the U.S. economy, was extremely
  strong. The service sector was supported by a 21 year low in unemployment, by
  the wealth effect of the stock market, by an improving real estate market, and
  by a low interest rate environment. The bottom line--more disposable income
  for consumers.

INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS

Direct obligations of U.S. Treasury and repurchase agreements collateralized by
U.S. Treasury obligations.

Overall, the short-term market was rather quiet, with its yield curve reasonably
flat. A strong dollar, propelled by a deepening Asian crisis, served as a
positive backdrop for continued low inflation. A combination of low inflation
plus first quarter GDP growth of over 5% supported the markets' perception that
the Federal Reserve Board was on hold. It was. In turn, interest rates remained
relatively stable throughout the period, and price volatility within the
short-term market was at an all-time low.

OBJECTIVE

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

INVESTMENT REVIEW

By staying disciplined to the purchase of high quality instruments and actively
adjusting sector allocation as market conditions changed, we were able to
produce competitive yields in the Institutional Treasury Money Fund.

    Moody's: AAA

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We maintained a neutral, close-to-the benchmark weighted average maturity
position throughout most of the semi-annual period. The uncertainty surrounding
the Asian financial crisis caused a "flight to quality" trade, whereby investors
bought a large amount of U.S. Treasury securities. This demand factor, combined
with the smaller issuance of securities by the Treasury, resulted in a very
expensive Treasury market. Thus, we sought to add value by investing in term
repurchase agreements, whose yields were comparatively higher during this
period. This allocation strategy proved to be effective in producing competitive
Fund returns.

         Status at June 30, 1998
    Seven Day Effective Yield: 5.45%
        Average Maturity: 30 days
      Net Assets: $2,028.8 million

MANAGER OUTLOOK

We believe the Treasury market should remain fairly positive throughout the
second half of the year for several reasons:

o The Asian crisis continues to loom and the U.S. dollar remains strong--a
  positive backdrop for inflation to stay low.

o U.S. economic growth remains solid, the labor market tight, interest rates
  stable and volatility low.

o While the Federal Reserve Board reinstituted its tightening bias earlier in
  the year, it still seems likely that it will be on hold for a while.

o Japan is facing serious financial troubles, which could impact China and Latin
  America in turn. Thus, we expect a continued flight to quality, with U.S.
  Treasuries the major beneficiary.

We intend to maintain a relatively neutral average maturity for the near term.
At the same time, we will look to take advantage of any spike in yields or any
issue-specific attractive value opportunities to extend duration, given our view
of slower but still positive economic growth in the future.

- --------------
 * Past performance is not indicative of future results. Yields will vary.
   Yields quote for money market funds most closely reflect the fund's current
   earnings. Although money market funds seek to maintain a share value of
   $1.00, there is no guarantee that they will be able to do so. Mutual funds
   are not bank deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any
   bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal
   Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other
   government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk,
   including possible loss of principal.
** S&P evaluates a number of factors, including credit quality, market price
   exposure and management. Aaa ratings by Moody's are judged to be of an
   investment quality similar to Aaa-rated fixed income obligations. Ratings are
   subject to change and do not remove market risks.

BT INSTITUTIONAL TREASURY MONEY 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 an unincorporated
business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
Institutional Treasury Money Fund (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 June 25, 1990. The Fund invests
substantially all of its assets in the Treasury Money 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, 1998, the Fund's investment was
approximately 85% 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 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.

D. 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.

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 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. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

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 .05% of the Fund's average daily net assets. At
June 30, 1998, amounts owed under the Administration and Services Agreement
amount to $94,813, net of waived fees of $2,110.

The Trust entered into a Distribution Agreement with Edgewood Services, Inc.
("Edgewood"). Under the Distribution Agreement with the Trust pursuant 12b-1 of
the 1940 Act, Edgewood may seek reimbursement at an annual rate not exceeding
 .10% 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, 1998, there were no reimbursable
expenses incurred under this agreement. The Fund does not intend to charge 12b-1
fees in the future.

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.

The BT Institutional Treasury Money 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 amongst 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.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive its fees and reimburse
expenses of the Fund, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to .05% of
the average daily net assets of the Fund, excluding expenses of the Portfolio
and .25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, including expenses of the
Portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, expenses of the Fund have
been reduced by $52,835.

TREASURY MONEY PORTFOLIO

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1--Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
A. Organization

The Treasury Money 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 operation 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 is in accordance with Rule 2a-7
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and represents the fair value of the
Portfolio's investments.

C. Security Transactions and Interest Income

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade 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.

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. Repurchase Agreements

The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions
deemed to be creditworthy by the Portfolio's Investment Advisor, 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
agreements 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.

E. Internal Revenue Code Requirements

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. 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. Amounts owed under the Administration and Services Agreement amounted to
$127,300 at June 30, 1998.

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 .15% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets. At June 30, 1998, amounts owed under the Advisory
Agreement amounted to $333,337.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive its fees and reimburse
expenses of the Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to
 .20% 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 $9,691.

Certain officers of the Portfolio's are also directors, officers and/or
employees of Edgewood Services, Inc., distributor of BT Institutional Funds.
None of the officers so affiliated received compensation for services as
officers of the Portfolio.

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

The BT Treasury Money 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.

Note 3--Net Assets

At June 30, 1998, net assets consisted of:
Paid in capital                          $2,384,966,291
                                         ==============
