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

We are pleased to present you with this annual report for the International
Equity 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. Please note that the Fund's Board of
Trustees approved a change in its fiscal year end from September 30, 1999 to
October 31, 1999, thus, while this is an annual report, performance is being
reported for the most recent thirteen months and life of the Fund as of the end
of October.

MARKET ACTIVITY

Performance of world markets improved considerably during the fiscal period, as
investors focused on renewed global economic growth and benign inflation.
o The specter of emerging market collapse, which led to broad market downturns
in the fall of 1998, dissipated with appropriate intervention by the
International Monetary Fund and individual nations' central banks.
o Confidence in the leadership of the US Federal Reserve Board, the Bank of
England, and the European Central Bank contributed significantly to all-time
highs experienced by many European and North American stock markets.
o For the first time in many years, EAFE markets closely tracked the strong
performance of US stocks, due primarily to a revived interest in Japanese
equities, as investors weighed the impact of restructuring announcements and
ongoing fiscal stimulus measures.

Europe

Europe delivered a 21.9% return in US dollar terms for the period, as the region
entered an unprecedented stage in its efforts to merge the common interests of
the eleven EMU member nations with the introduction of the euro currency on
January 1, 1999.
o Interest rate cuts prior to and following the introduction of the new
currency, along with convergence in short-term interest rates, provided a
stimulus for a resurgence in economic growth.
o However, after considerable outperformance for European equity markets during
the 1998 calendar year, many fund managers took profits to diversify
elsewhere during the first calendar quarter of 1999. The resulting move out
of Europe and into Japan and emerging markets led to weakness in European
stocks as well as in the euro. Fighting in Kosovo and a brief increase in
interest rates further led to outflows from the region.
o An unexpected 0.50% cut in interest rates to 2.5% in April by the European
Central Bank then reignited investor confidence along with positive economic
news.

France led the larger markets with a 37.7% gain in US dollar terms, and the
United Kingdom and Germany returned 20.2% and 12.5%, respectively.
o The continent's smaller markets generally delivered lackluster returns,
although Nordic markets soared due to strong demand for communication
equipment, technology and other industrial stocks in Finland and Sweden, up
127.5% and 58.0% in US dollar terms, respectively. Norway rose 21.2% due
primarily to firmer oil prices.
o Technical factors hindered the performance of other markets in the periphery,
such as Ireland, as local investors sought diversification by selling
domestic stocks, regardless of their attractive valuations, while purchasing
those of their larger neighbors.

Asia

Japan rose a staggering 85.3% in US dollar terms for the reporting period,
undergoing a dramatic revival after falling to its worst market close in 13
years on March 31, 1999.
o Unprecedented foreign buying, fueled by incipient announcements of corporate
restructuring and economic recovery, helped to push the yen and the market
higher. In fact, half of the market's gain came from a revitalized currency.
o The absence of strong domestic purchases limited the upside movement of the
market, but equity leadership moved to the financial sector as investors
applauded announcements of mergers and government efforts to inject capital
into floundering banks.
o Technology-related shares benefited from gains in US equity peers. In
addition, demand for personal computers, software and Internet services
continued to rise at a torrid pace despite weakness in most segments of the
Japanese economy.

Recovery in Asia ex-Japan markets was exceptional, with a gain of 86.8% in US
dollar terms during the Fund's fiscal period, after massive declines experienced
during previous months' crisis.
o Triggers for the sustained rally included:
- lower interest rates globally and in Asia particularly, where rates dropped
to pre-crisis levels
- sustained strengthening of the yen
- stronger than expected economic rebound in the region
- rapidly improving and ample liquidity conditions supported by strong fund
flows and large current account surpluses.

o Star performers were primarily those harder hit countries of the Asian
economic and financial crisis, including Indonesia, South Korea, and
Malaysia, whose equity markets each tripled over the Fund's fiscal period.
Specifically, Indonesia gained 315.1%; South Korea was up 249.0%, and
Malaysia rose 212.7%. Trade center Singapore posted a return of 135.3%.
o Those countries less affected by last year's regional crisis, such as Taiwan,
India, the Philippines, and Hong Kong, lagged in comparison, but still
produced impressive returns of 45%-75%.
o Likewise, Australia which did not experience the deep sell-off of its
neighbors, rose 22.1% during the period.
o In the last few months of the fiscal period, the region's markets pulled back
slightly, on rising risk aversion due to concerns over US interest rates,
Year 2000 preparedness, and equity supply.

Other Markets
Emerging markets experienced great volatility, but also staged a broad recovery
from the sharp losses of the previous year, outperforming most developed global
markets for the period ended October 31, 1999.

Latin American markets fared well with a 34.3% gain in US dollar terms, even
though Brazil's currency devaluation in January, Ecuador's eurobond default in
the last fiscal quarter, and constant US interest rate concerns did overhang the
region.
o Latin America benefited from its export profile, as global commodity prices
troughed in the early spring of 1999.
o The region's strong performance was led by Mexico's 54.9% US dollar return,
as export and domestic demand improved, oil prices and the peso firmed, and
free elections bolstered investor demand.
o Despite the deeper than anticipated recession in Argentina, Repsol's bid for
oil and gas company YPF Sociedad Anonima helped to re-rate the Argentine
market. Argentina's equity market rose 36.9% during the period.
o Chile and Venezuela, both countries with large commodity exposures, advanced
32.0% and 36.9% in US dollar terms, respectively.
o Brazil ended the fiscal year up 12.5% in US dollar terms, with investors
scrutinizing the country's reform progress following Supreme Court rulings
blocking several fiscal reform measures.

Emerging Europe, up 79.7%, rebounded soundly off lows, led by Russia and Greece.
o The largest gains for the region were in Russia, up a stunning 215.3%,
despite being among Emerging Europe's most illiquid markets.
o Greece posted an impressive 93.6% retail-driven performance despite repeated
"irrational exuberance" speeches by its government officials. Greece also
rose on its positioning towards joining EMU.
o Greece's long-time rival Turkey improved by 75.3%, despite experiencing its
worst earthquake in history.

INVESTMENT REVIEW
During the Fund's fiscal period, we maintained our preference toward continental
European equities, but we nevertheless reduced our exposure there to gain access
to exciting opportunities in other regions around the world.
o Despite our concerns regarding macroeconomic factors in Japan, our purchase
of dominant technology and telecommunications stocks led to a higher
weighting there.
o We added positions in emerging markets as recovery gained ground in many
economies.
o Canada provided fertile offerings in communications and resources stocks.

Many of the stocks in the Portfolio were beneficiaries of the quickening pace of
domestic and global merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, as consolidation
benefits were sought by small and large firms alike.
o Banks, telecommunications companies, and cyclical industrial firms in
particular have been seeking economies of scale, operating synergies and
cross border exposure.

1/ Includes countries with weightings of less than 2%.

o As part of the ongoing restructuring of European businesses, spin-offs of
non-core assets and strategic alliances also provided rare opportunities.
o We found excellent stocks in France, where economic growth and M&A activity
is accelerating, as highlighted by the recent acquisition of Paribas by money
center bank BNP.
o Italy is also seeing more M&A transactions, including the acquisition of
Banca San Paolo di Brescia by Credit Agrario Bresciano and the merger of
Unicredito and Credito Italiano to form Unicredito Italiano.
o In contrast, we reduced exposure to the United Kingdom, which had benefited
from an extended strong economic cycle but more recently has been contending
with the risk of overheating and the adverse impact of a strong currency.
o Germany's bumpy road to recovery has been a market damper. But we are
optimistic looking forward and have built positions in several exciting
industrial restructuring opportunities, including Bayer and Veba.

We were impressed by the tremendous growth opportunities offered by foreign
technology and telecommunications stocks.
o In most cases, foreign technology and telecommunications companies have been
attractively priced, while their US counterparts challenge traditional
valuation criteria.
o Since we last reported, we added telecommunications equipment leaders Nokia
and Ericsson, beneficiaries of the continuing rise in cellular telephony
penetration in virtually every market in the world.
o Service providers have been rushing to consolidate, with many of the Fund's
holdings, such as Mannesmann in Germany in its acquisition move for Orange in
the UK, and Vodafone AirTouch, which appears eager to acquire or align with
Mannesmann, driving the consolidation process.
o We took profits in several second-tier telecommunications ventures, including
Equant, Esat Telecom, Global Crossing, and Global Telesys.
o We added exposure to Finland's Sonera, a major Nordic cellular operator with
other European market holdings and a promising technology for processing
secure e-commerce transactions.
o Asia offered exciting opportunities in Korea's leading mobile phone company,
SK Telecom, and Korea Telecom, which complement our other regional
holdings--NTT and NTT Docomo in Japan and China Telecom in Hong Kong.

Acceleration of economic growth around the globe led to the sharp increase in
our exposure to materials.
o Stronger demand, cost cutting, and consolidation improved the outlook for
many companies in the sector after a long period of sagging commodity prices.
o In Europe, we purchased shares in the diversified chemical companies Bayer
and DSM, specialty chemical maker Clariant, steel producer Usinor, engineered
materials manufacturer St. Gobain, and Nordic pulp & paper giant Stora Enso,
complementing our position in UPM-Kymmene.
o We added Canadian nickel leader Inco, Australian mining company WMC, and
Korean iron and steel maker Pohang.

We made several strategic moves within the energy and oil services sector.
o The Portfolio benefited from both OPEC commitments to limit oil production
and the acceleration of industrial consolidation by participating in the
acquisition of French oil giant Elf Aquitaine by rival Total Fina. The
combination creates one of Europe's largest energy companies as well as a
substantially improved profit outlook.
o Similarly, we purchased Anglo-American integrated oil leader BP Amoco, which
has bid for ARCO, and Shell T&T, an undervalued oil major with significant
restructuring potential.
o Heightened global demand and a recovery in oil prices led the Fund to
identify inexpensive stocks in the sector with excellent growth prospects,
including Norsk Hydro and Spain's Repsol.

We significantly added to our Japanese holdings, purchasing strong companies
that are competitive on a global basis or are well-positioned to succeed in a
weak economy at home.
o Following the purchase of electronic components leader Murata and computer
giant Fujitsu in the first half, we added Kyoto-based semiconductor maker
Rohm based on firm demand in consumer and industrial applications.
o We bought Internet bellwether Softbank to capture the explosive growth of the
web-based businesses in Japan, Europe and the US.
o Our preference for profitable Japanese companies that have demonstrated
resilience in both good and bad economic scenarios led us to Sanrio, a
character goods maker known for its popular eHello Kitty' line, and to
consumer finance companies Acom and Aiful.
o It is important to note that our Japanese weighting increased as we
identified exciting, stock specific opportunities, not out of a belief that
economic recovery is sustainable in the near term or because we feel the bad
debt crisis in the financial sector has been resolved.

In Asia ex-Japan, we carried out several stock specific and sector allocation
strategies for the Fund.
o We reduced the Portfolio's holdings in interest-rate sensitive companies like
Westpac Bank, Thai Farmer's Bank, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and property firm
Wing Tai in favor of cyclical and trade recovery plays, such as Pohang Iron &
Steel, Western Mining Corporation, Neptune Orient Line, and Cosco Pacific.
o In light of the uncertainty caused by the Daewoo bankruptcy, the Fund cut its
exposure in South Korea, taking profits in Samsung Securities, Korean Air,
Korea Electric Power, and Shinhan Bank.
o We focused our holdings in the secular growth areas of technology,
telecommunications and multimedia. Thus, the following purchases were made:
CDROM manufacturer Ritek, foundry Taiwan Semiconductor, IT software company
Silverline, Samsung Electronics, Natsteel Electronics, Korea Telecom, mobile
operator SK Telecom, media company Singapore Press Holdings, and conglomerate
Wharf Holdings.
o Increasing concern over Indonesia's political stability prompted us to sell
PT Telkom and Indah Kiat.

Among the emerging markets, we were also actively buying and selling.
o We established positions in Turkey's financial services company Akbank and
conglomerate Sabanci on the belief that Turkey will receive an International
Monetary Fund package and that its government will take necessary reform
measures to lower inflation.
o We saw opportunity in South Africa given firming commodity prices and
declining local interest rates, and we identified life insurer Old Mutual and
media firm MIH Limited as excellent prospects.
o In Greece, valuation considerations caused us to sell Alpha Credit Bank, but
we replaced it with telecommunications holdings OTE and Panafon,
respectively, the fixed line and cellular operators there.
o OTP Bank was sold on disappointing macroeconomic data in Hungary.

MANAGER OUTLOOK
We believe that low inflation and global economic growth will spur the world's
equity markets higher in the coming year, especially in Europe. Europe appears
to offer an edge in that growth is accelerating, monetary conditions are
favorable, and valuations remain relatively attractive. The fruits of economic
and monetary union are becoming increasingly evident.

We believe that although the Japanese economy shows some signs of bottoming, it
remains quite fragile and prone to recessionary pressures. The strong yen,
dependence on deficit spending, and consumer nervousness contribute to our
cautionary posture. Still, there are very good stocks to be found in Japan,
especially global companies with competitive cost bases, domestic companies
shielded from a weak economy, and technology-related shares benefiting from
spending shifts toward information technology, personal computing, and the
Internet.

Emerging markets stand to continue to benefit from the cyclical global recovery
currently underway. We believe that interest rates in Asia have bottomed, and so
equity returns in that region going forward will likely be more muted but still
healthy, driven by strong earnings performance and restructuring. We are
particularly optimistic on Taiwan, India, and, once the Daewoo crisis is sorted
out, South Korea. In our view, Latin America has greater return potential next
year if risk premiums and emerging market bond spreads can narrow. We expect
this is likely to happen once the US bond market stabilizes. Brazilian equities
remain very inexpensive on numerous parameters, but the nation has to make
further progress on the fiscal front. We believe Emerging Europe should benefit
from the burgeoning recovery of the European Union economies, particularly
Hungary. Poland, in our opinion, has been oversold on current account fears.
While the overall Greek market is overvalued, we are comfortable with our
reasonably priced holdings.

As we near the end of 1999, we expect increased volatility in the emerging
markets on Year 2000 concerns. However, we believe that these near-term fears
over liquidity and Y2K preparedness will pose only limited and temporary
setbacks to these markets.

A word of caution must be expressed relative to mounting pressure for a
correction in the US large cap equity market, which is challenging historical
valuation parameters.
o Corrections of 20% or more have historically helped to consolidate and
prepare US stocks for higher long-term moves. However, the absence of such an
occurrence for the greater part of this decade, especially after a long
string of double-digit annual gains, suggests that a much larger pullback may
be in store.
o Short term, the reverberations of such an event would be felt in foreign
markets, although in most cases, valuation support abroad provides
encouragement for a quick rebound and relative outperformance, especially in
US dollar terms since a US correction would not likely occur alongside dollar
weakness.

We will, of course, continue to monitor economic conditions and political
initiatives and their effect on financial markets as we seek long-term capital
appreciation.

We value your support of the BT Institutional International Equity Fund and look
forward to continuing to serve your investment needs in the years ahead.

International Equity Fund

Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 as a business trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The International Equity Fund (the "Fund") is
offered to investors by the Trust.

The Fund offers two classes of shares to investors: Class I and Class II shares
(the "Classes"). Both classes of shares have identical rights to earnings,
assets and voting privileges, except that each class has its own expenses and
exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting it.

The Class I and Class II shares began operations on April 1, 1997.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its
investable assets in the International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The
Portfolio is an open-end management investment company registered under the Act.
The value of the investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate
interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. At September 30, 1999, the Fund's
investment was approximately 37% of the Portfolio. At October 31, 1999 the
Fund's investment was approximately 36% of the Portfolio.

The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Schedule of Portfolio
Investments are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

B. Investment Valuation
Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1B of the
Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this
report.

C. Investment Income
The Fund's income, net of expenses, is earned daily on its investment in the
Portfolio. All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains
and losses from security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata
among the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination. Net
investment income is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its
relative proportion of net assets.

D. Distributions
It is the Fund's policy to declare and distribute dividends annually to
shareholders from net investment income. Distributions of net realized
short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, earned by the Fund will also be
made annually to the extent they are not offset by any capital loss
carryforwards. Dividends and distributions payable to shareholders are recorded
by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.

E. Federal Income Taxes
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code and distribute substantially all of its 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
differences in the characterization and allocation of certain income and capital
gain distributions determined annually in accordance with federal tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The
Fund has capital loss carryovers of $1,302,651, $599,872, $29,705,117 and
$1,591,474 expiring on October 31, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

G. Other
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each
fund and each class. Expenses directly attributable to each fund or class are
charged to that fund or class, 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. 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 .40% and .70% of average daily net assets for Class
I and Class II, respectively.

ICC Distributors, Inc. provides distribution services to the Fund.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive its fees and reimburse
expenses of each Class of Shares, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses
as follows: Class I shares to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the
Class, excluding expenses of the Portfolio and .95% of the average daily net
assets of the Class, including expenses of the Portfolio; Class II shares to
.55% of the average daily net assets of the Class, excluding expenses of the
Portfolio, and 1.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class, including
expenses of the Portfolio.

Bankers Trust was a wholly owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust Corporation ("BT
Corp."). On June 4, 1999, BT Corp. was acquired by Deutsche Bank AG ("Deutsche
Bank"). As a result of the transaction, Bankers Trust became an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank.

Note 4--Risks of Investing in Foreign Securities
The Portfolio invests in foreign securities. Investing in foreign companies and
foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically
associated with investing in securities of U.S. companies and the U.S.
government. These risks include devaluation of currencies and future adverse
political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign
companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their
prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and
the U.S. government. This is particularly true with respect to emerging markets
in developing countries.

International Equity Fund

Report of Independent Accountants
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Trustees of BT Institutional Funds and
Shareholders of International Equity Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities 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
the International Equity Fund (one of the funds comprising BT Institutional
Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at October 31, 1999, and September
30, 1999 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and
the financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods presented, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 generally accepted
auditing standards 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 October 31, 1999 and
September 30, 1999 by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

International Equity Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1--Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
A. Organization
The International Equity 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 as an unincorporated
trust under the laws of New York and began operations on August 4, 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 listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges or
other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the closing price of the
security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Portfolio assets are
valued. Short-term debt securities are valued at market value until such time as
they reach a remaining maturity of 60 days, whereupon they are valued at
amortized cost using their value on the 61st day. All other securities and other
assets are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under
procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

C. Security Transactions and Interest Income
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income,
less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon
receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of
premium and discount on investments. Expenses are recorded as incurred. 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 and foreign currency transactions of the Portfolio are
allocated pro rata among the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such
determination.

D. Foreign Currency Transactions
The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. All
assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted
into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of
investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions.

E. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose
of settling specific purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign
currency or with respect to the Portfolio's investments. The net U.S. dollar
value of foreign currencies underlying all contractual commitments held by the
Portfolio and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are
determined using prevailing exchange rates. With respect to forward foreign
currency contracts, losses in excess of amounts recognized may arise due to
changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does not
perform under the contract.

F. Option Contracts
Upon the purchase of a put option or a call option by the Portfolio, the premium
paid is recorded as an investment and marked-to-market daily to reflect the
current market value. When a purchased option expires, the Portfolio will
realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When the Portfolio
enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or
loss depending on whether the sale proceeds from the closing sale transaction
are greater or less than the cost of the option. When the Portfolio exercises a
put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security
and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally
paid. When the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the security which
the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium
originally paid.

G. Futures Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts which 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.

H. Federal Income Taxes
The Portfolio is considered a Partnership under the Internal Revenue Code.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.

I. Security Loans
The Portfolio receives compensation in the form of fees or it retains a portion
of interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Portfolio
also continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The
loans are secured by collateral at least equal, at all times, to the fair value
of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. Gain or loss in the fair value
of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for
the account of the Portfolio.

J. 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 0.15% of the Portfolio's average daily net
assets.

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 .65% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive its fees and reimburse
expenses of the Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to
0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio.

The Portfolio may invest in the 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 for the periods ended October 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999 amounted
to $350,496 and $4,656,980, respectively which are included in dividend income.

At September 30, 1999, the Portfolio was a participant with other affiliated
entities in a revolving credit facility in the amount of $100,000,000 which
expires April 29, 2000. A commitment fee of .10% per annum on the average daily
amount of the available commitment is payable on a quarterly basis and
apportioned equally among all participants. On October 8, 1999, the revolving
credit facility was increased to $150,000,000. For the twelve month period ended
September 30, 1999, $40,000,000 was drawn down under the credit facility at an
interest rate range of 5.59% to 5.83%. Total interest charges as a result of
this borrowing amounted to $28,494 which were paid prior to September 30, 1999.
No amounts were outstanding under the credit facility for the periods ended
September 30, and October 31, 1999.

The Portfolio may use cash collateral from its securities lending transactions,
described in Note 1, I, to purchase shares of an affiliated fund and may pay
fees generated from those transactions to Bankers Trust.

Note 3--Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other
than short-term obligations, for the period ended October 31, 1999, were
$153,505,180 and $180,164,342, respectively. For the year ended September 30,
1999 the amounts were $3,309,983,361 and $2,638,798,308, respectively.

For Federal income tax purposes, the tax basis of investments held at October
31, 1999 was 2,466,509,661. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all
investments at October 31, 1999 was $552,158,497, and the aggregate gross
unrealized depreciation for all investments was $65,130,218. At September 30,
1999 the tax basis of investments held was $2,505,583,560. The aggregate gross
unrealized appreciation for all investments at September 30, 1999 was
$420,701,033 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments
was $72,945,573.

Note 6--Foreign Securities
The Portfolio invests in foreign securities. Investing in foreign companies and
foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically
associated with investing in securities of U.S. companies and the U.S.
government. These risks include devaluation of currencies and future adverse
political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign
companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their
prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and
the U.S. government. This is particularly true with respect to emerging markets
in developing countries.

International Equity Portfolio

Report of Independent Accountants
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of International Equity
Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios 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 the International Equity Portfolio
(hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio") at October 31, 1999 and September 30,
1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the
financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods presented, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Portfolio'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 generally accepted
auditing standards 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 October 31, 1999 and
September 30, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
