WARBURG PINCUS INSTITUTIONAL FUND, INC. -- INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 15, 1995
Dear Shareholder:
The objective of Warburg Pincus Institutional Fund -- International Equity
Portfolio (the 'Portfolio') is long-term capital appreciation and international
diversification. The Portfolio aims to tap into the strong growth potential of
today's world stock markets by investing primarily in companies whose principal
business activities and interests are outside the U.S.
For the six months ended April 30, 1995, the Portfolio fell 8.94%, vs. a
loss of 5.03% in the Lipper International Fund Index and a gain of 1.25% in the
Morgan Stanley -- Europe, Australia and Far East ('EAFE') Index. For the
trailing 12 months, the Portfolio lost 1.27%, vs. a loss of 1.31% in the Lipper
Index and a gain of 5.59% in the EAFE Index. Shareholders should note that
although the EAFE Index outperformed the Portfolio in the six- and 12-month
periods ended April 30, the Portfolio's long-term record is superior. From its
inception on September 1, 1992, through April 30, 1995, the Portfolio generated
an average annual return of 17.09%, compared to 14.15% for the EAFE Index. In
addition, relative to the Index, the Portfolio's diversification across more
countries has historically provided a lower level of volatility.
Foreign markets displayed considerable volatility over the past several
months, with European markets on balance outperforming their Pacific Rim
counterparts in both dollar and local-currency terms. One European market on
which we are particularly positive is France, which represented 8% of the
Portfolio's assets through April. The French market has been impacted by high
real interest rates, which have largely been a consequence of German monetary
policies. Recently, however, corporate earnings have begun to improve, and we
believe that our holdings will likely benefit from both continued restructuring
efforts and the potential for a further easing of interest rates across Europe.
Our largest country weighting among Far Eastern markets remains Japan,
which comprised 25% of the Portfolio through April. While we think the Japanese
market will likely remain volatile over the short term, we believe there are
many attractively priced stocks at the market's current level based on
traditional long-term measures of value (e.g., price relative to book value,
sales and cash flow). It is inevitable that Japan's government will at some
point be forced to pursue more expansionary economic policies, which should have
a direct and substantial impact on stock prices.
Another Pacific Rim market we are emphasizing is South Korea (5% of the
Portfolio), a high-growth emerging market that suffered unduly following
Mexico's peso crisis in December. Other markets we favor due to their attractive
valuations include Australia and New Zealand, which combined account for over
10% of the Portfolio.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 1995 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Warburg Pincus Institutional Fund, Inc. (the 'Fund') is an open-end
management investment company and currently offers two managed investment funds
(the 'Portfolios'): the International Equity Portfolio, which commenced
operations on September 1, 1992, which seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing in equity securities of principally non-United States issuers; and the
Global Fixed Income Portfolio, which as of April 30, 1995 had not commenced
operations, which seeks to maximize total investment return consistent with
prudent investment management while preserving capital by investing in
investment grade fixed income securities of issuers throughout the world,
including United States issuers.
The net asset values of the Portfolios are determined daily as of the close
of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The Fund's investments are
valued at market value, which is currently determined using the last reported
sales price. If no sales are reported, investments are generally valued at the
last reported bid price. In the absence of market quotations, investments are
generally valued at fair value as determined by or under the direction of the
Fund's Board of Directors. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less
are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which attempts to approximate market
value.
The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current
prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate.
Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during
the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign
currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current
period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on
investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange
rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific
indentification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually.
Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared annually.
However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a
capital loss carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital
gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
The Fund intends to continue to comply with the special provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code available to investment companies and therefore no Federal
income tax provision is required.
Costs incurred by the Portfolios in connection with their organization have
been deferred and are amortized over a period of five years from the date of
each Portfolio's commencement of operations.

Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreement transactions. Under the
terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a Portfolio acquires an underlying
security subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase. The value of the
underlying security collateral will be maintained at an amount at least equal to
the total amount of the purchase obligation, including interest. The collateral
is in the Portfolio's possession.

Warburg, Pincus Counsellors, Inc. ('Counsellors'), a wholly owned

1995, Counsellors earned $1,276,260 for investment advisory services to the
International Equity Portfolio, of which $352,604 was voluntarily waived. The
Global Fixed Income Portfolio will pay Counsellors an investment advisory fee
calculated at an annual rate of .65% of the Portfolio's average daily net
assets.
Counsellors Funds Service, Inc. ('CFSI'), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Counsellors, and PFPC Inc. ('PFPC'), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC
Bank Corp. ('PNC'), serve as the Fund's co-administrators. For its
administrative services, CFSI receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of
.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the six months ended April 30,
1995, CFSI earned $159,533 in administrative services fees. For the six months
ended April 30, 1995, PFPC earned $184,327 and voluntarily waived $52,874 in

distribution services.

At April 30, 1995, with respect to the International Equity Portfolio, the

appreciation of $39,391,026 for those securities having an excess of value over
cost, and depreciation of $24,149,488 for those securities having an excess of
cost over value (based on cost for Federal income tax purposes).

from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency
relative to the U.S. dollar. The Portfolios may enter into forward contracts for
hedging purposes or to increase income and total return. The forward currency
contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and
any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized
until the contract settlement date.
At April 30, 1995, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency
contract and had recorded an unrealized loss of $284,063:
