This report must be preceded or accompanied by the prospectus of the Templeton
Institutional Funds, Inc. Like any investment in securities, the value of The
Fund's portfolio will be subject to the risk of loss from market, currency,
economic, political and other factors, as well as investment decisions by the
investment manager which will not always be profitable or wise. The Fund and
its investors are not protected from such losses by the investment manager.
Therefore, investors who cannot accept this risk should not invest in shares of
the Fund.

Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to bring the annual report for the Templeton Institutional
Funds, Inc. (TIFI) Global Fixed Income Series for the period ended
December 31, 1994.
During the period, the fundOs share price decreased $2.00 per share, from
$9.93 to $7.93. Income distributions from the fund totaled $1.61 per share
and capital gains distributions totaled $0.09 per share. The fundOs total
return figures for the periods ended December 31, 1994 were as follows:

--------- -----------------
<S> <C> <C>
Average Annual -2.97% -1.02%
Cumulative -2.97% -1.68%
</TABLE>
Average annual total return figures represent the average annual increase in
value of an investment over the specified periods. Cumulative total return
figures show the change in value of an investment over the period indicated,
assuming the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The
fund's manager is waiving a portion of its management fees, which reduces
operating expenses. Without these reductions the fundOs total return would
have been lower. The fee waiver may be discontinued at when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance cannot
guarantee future results.
In an environment of rising global bond yields and tightening liquidity
conditions, the TIFI Global Fixed Income Series maintained a defensive post-
ure during most of the annual period. The fund eliminated non-U.S. holdings
in May and June of 1994 due to a decline in net assets in the fund and a con-
sequent inability to fully diversify foreign holdings. The resulting al-
location to short-term U.S. assets helped to preserve capital in a bear
market for global bonds. Diversification of the fund back into non-U.S. assets
will only occur with an increase in assets under management.
We look forward to the future with confidence and appreciate your continued
support.
Sincerely,

index. The fund's manager is waiving a portion of its management fees, which
reduces operating expenses. Without these reductions the fund's total return
would have been lower. The fee waiver may be discontinued at any time after
December 31, 1995.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Global Fixed Income Series (the Fund) is a separate series of Templeton
Institutional Funds, Inc. (the Company) which is an open-end, diversified
management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940. The following summarizes the Fund's significant accounting policies.
A. SECURITIES VALUATIONS:
Securities listed or traded on a recognized national or foreign stock exchange
or NASDAQ are valued at the last reported sales prices on the principal exchange
on which the securities are traded. Over-the-counter securities and listed
securities for which no sale is reported are valued at the mean between the last
current bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at fair value as determined by management and
approved in good faith by the Board of Directors.
B. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS:
Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of
such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and
sales of portfolio securities and income items denominated in foreign cur-
rencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of
such transactions. When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it
customarily enters into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign ex-
change risk between the trade date and the settlement date of such transactions.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations
arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on securities transactions, the differences between the amounts
of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's
books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value
of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the end of the
fiscal period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
C. INCOME TAXES:
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision has been made for
income taxes.
<PAGE>
D. UNAMORTIZED ORGANIZATIONS COSTS:
Organization costs are being amortized on a straight line basis over a five year
period.
E. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, DISTRIBUTIONS AND EXPENSES:
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income
is recorded on ex-dividend date. Certain dividend income on foreign securities
are recorded as soon as information is available to the Fund. Interest income
and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders which
are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
2. TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK
At December 31, 1994, there were 520 million shares of $.01 par value capital
stock authorized of which 10 million have been classified as Fund shares.
Transactions in the Fund's shares were as follows:

record owner of 100% of the Fund's shares as of December 31, 1994.
3. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund pays monthly an investment management fee to Templeton Investment
Counsel, Inc. equal, on an annual basis, to 0.55% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. Certain officers of the Company are also directors or
officers of Templeton Global Investors, Inc. (TGII), Franklin Templeton
Distributors, Inc. (FTD), and Franklin Templeton Investor Services, Inc.
(FTIS), the Company's administrative manager, distributor and transfer agent,
respectively. The Fund pays TGII monthly its allocated share of an adminis-
trative fee of 0.15% per annum on the first $200 million of the Company's
aggregate average daily net assets, 0.135% of the next $500 million, 0.10% of
the next $500 million and 0.075% per annum of such average net assets in ex-
cess of $1.2 billion. TGII has voluntarily agreed to limit the total
expenses of the Fund to an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average net
assets through December 31, 1994. The amount of reimbursement for the year
ended December 31, 1994 is set forth in the Statement of Operations.
For the December 31, 1994, FTD and FTIS received no amounts with respect to the
fund.
An officer of the Fund is a partner of Dechert Price & Rhoads, legal counsel for
the Funds, which firm received fees of $4,000 for the year ended December 31,
1994.

ended December 31, 1994 were $1,244,680 and $1,860,339, respectively. The cost
of securities for federal income tax purposes is the same as that shown in the
investment portfolio. Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified
cost basis.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Templeton Institutional Funds, Inc. - Global Fixed Income Series
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the investment portfolio, of the Global Fixed Income Series of Templeton
Institutional Funds, Inc. as of December 31, 1994, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets
and the financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from
May 3, 1993 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1993. These fin-
ancial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing stand-
ards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the fin-
ancial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned
as of December 31, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Global Fixed Income Series of Templeton Institutional Funds, Inc. as of Dec-
ember 31, 1994, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets
and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
