We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report of The Prudential
Institutional Fund for the six months ended March 31, 1994. During this period,
the total net assets of the Fund's four portfolios have grown from $134.5
million on September 30, 1993 to $210.4 million on March 31, 1994. Each
portfolio continues to provide competitive investment results in pursuing its
own distinct investment objective and management style.
Economy
   For the six months ended March 31, 1994, the U.S. economy grew at an annual
rate of 5%, as measured by the increase in gross domestic product (GDP).
Recoveries in housing and consumer durables and increased capital spending and
exports helped fuel U.S. economic expansion. Areas like defense, consumer
staples, energy and health care continue to be buffeted by persistent structural
changes.
   Inflationary fears sparked by the growing economy caused the Federal Reserve
to increase short-term interest rates twice during the first quarter and again
in April. As a result, long-term rates also rose, and stock and bond markets
declined.
Market Review
   For the six months ended March 31, 1994, the U.S. stock market, as measured
by the S&P 500, declined 1.6%. Following strong gains in 1993, the market
continued its upward rise through January 1994. By the end of March, however,
the market underwent a significant correction.
   International stock markets, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Europe,
Australia, Far East Index (EAFE) rose 4.4% for the period. As in the U.S.,
overseas markets increased through January before pulling back somewhat in
February and March.
   Rising U.S. rates also caused bond prices to erode. During the period, the
Lehman Aggregate Index declined 2.8%.
Fund Performance
   With the exception of the International Stock Fund, Prudential Institutional
Fund returns generally declined during the six months ended March 31. Results
for one year and since inception for each Fund were positive and compared
favorably with their respective benchmark indices. Performance information,
comments from the investment adviser as well as holdings for each Fund can be
found in the following pages.
   In summary, we are pleased with the growth in Fund assets and the performance
results achieved thus far. We again would like to emphasize the importance of
maintaining a long-term view toward investing retirement assets. Market declines
can provide an advantage for those who invest systematically (e.g., through
payroll deductions). We encourage all participants to pursue their retirement
investing with disciplined saving, diligent planning and appropriate time
horizons.
                                 Sincerely,
                                 Mark R. Fetting

                                          GROWTH STOCK FUND
(LOGO)          INSTITUTIONAL

                FUND
OBJECTIVE:  To achieve long-term growth of capital through investment primarily
in equity securities of established companies with above-
average growth prospects. Current income, if any, is incidental.
INVESTMENT APPROACH:  The Adviser concentrates
on large capitalization companies with the potential for above-average growth.
Stocks are selected on a company-by-company basis through the use of fundamental
analysis.
The Adviser looks for attractively valued companies that demonstrate superior
sales growth, high levels of unit growth, high return on assets and equity and
a
strong balance sheet.
ADVISER:  The Growth Stock Fund is managed by Jennison Associates Capital Corp.
Founded in 1969 and acquired by The Prudential in 1985, Jennison adheres to
clearly defined investment philosophies and is dedicated to achieving superior
investment results for institutional investors. Jennison manages over $21
billion in equity, balanced and fixed income accounts.
ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  Since the Fund's inception, the stock market has been
characterized by broad swings in performance, as the markets reacted to changing
economic fundamentals. Toward the end of the first quarter, the stock market
declined as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to curtail potential
inflation. For the last two years, value stocks continued to outperform growth
stocks, and stocks of small companies have generally done better than those of
large companies. In both instances, the performance divergence has been
narrowing. While future results cannot be assured, we believe this points to a
possible trend toward superior relative performance for growth stocks in the
near future. As a medium-to large-capitalization growth stock fund, careful
selection of growth stocks will continue to be of primary importance in
providing positive results.
Since inception, the Fund has done reasonably well despite periods of short-term
underperformance. This has been a result of careful selection of reasonably
priced growth socks in several groups, including health care, selective consumer
staples, basic industry and technology. While there is no assurance as to future
results, we remain cautiously optimistic that the Fund should provide
competitive returns during the year, even if the market does not rise
significantly.

Returns from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical and reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. 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. Past performance
cannot guarantee comparable future results. The manager is currently limiting
the expenses of the Fund. Without this reduction of expenses, the total return
would have been lower.

                                          STOCK INDEX FUND
(LOGO)          INSTITUTIONAL

                FUND
 
OBJECTIVE:  To provide investment results that
correspond to the price and yield performance of
the S&P 500 Composite Stock Index.
INVESTMENT APPROACH:  The portfolio is
managed using a passive, indexing approach
instead of traditional methods of security analysis.
The Advisor tries to accomplish this goal by
purchasing securities that, as a group, reflect the
price and yield performance of the S&P 500.
The Fund will not adopt a temporary defensive
investment posture in times of declining market
conditions; therefore, investors bear the risk of such
market conditions.
ADVISER:  Prudential Diversified Investment
Strategies (PDI) is a business unit of The Prudential
Investment Corporation dedicated to equity index
and balanced fund investing for institutional
clients. Established in 1975, PDI began managing
equity index portfolios in 1979 and currently
manages over $3 billion in stock index funds.
ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  The S&P 500 index is an
unmanaged index representing the performance of
500 major companies. It is widely recognized as an
indicator of general stock market performance.
During the six months ended March 31, 1994, the
Fund has continued to achieve investment results
that track the S&P 500 before subtracting Fund
expenses. Ongoing contributions to the Fund have
been invested in a manner that minimizes tracking
errors, the amount by which investment results
differ from the index results. From time to time,
S&P 500 index futures are used to improve the
efficiency of investing ongoing cash flow by
optimizing timing and reducing transaction costs.
Please see the Fund's prospectus for a discussion of
the risks associated with futures investing.

</TABLE>
Returns from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical and reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. 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. Past performance
cannot guarantee comparable future results. The manager is currently limiting
the expenses of the Fund. Without this reduction of expenses, the total return
would have been lower.

(LOGO)          INSTITUTIONAL

                FUND

OBJECTIVE:  To achieve long-term growth of capital through investment in equity
securities of foreign companies. Income is a secondary objective.
INVESTMENT APPROACH:  While the Fund may invest anywhere outside the U.S., it
is
expected that most investments will be made in developed countries in North
America, Western Europe and the Pacific Basin.
The Adviser maintains a consistently applied valuation process and remains
sensitive to stock prices and keeping a long-term, global perspective. To this
end, each market is screened for undervalued securities using both historical
and forecasted data.
ADVISER:  The Fund's Adviser is Mercator Asset Management, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Prudential. Mercator is dedicated to global and international
common stock investing. Organized in 1984 by senior professionals formerly
associated with Templeton Investment Counsel, Mercator is a conservative,
value-oriented manager, which places great emphasis on capital preservation.
Mercator manages $2.0 billion for institutional clients.
ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  Foreign stock markets began the six-month period with
strong gains, providing double-digit returns for the Fund through January, 1994.
Since then, we have lapsed into a correction phase, triggered by the increase
in
U.S. interest rates. On a global basis, long-term interest rates have risen
about 100 basis points from their 1993 lows. This has clearly unsettled most
stock markets around the world. There is good reason to believe that rates will
fall again in many countries as inflation remains subdued and economies are not
overheating. Markets will now focus more on earnings. Consequently, stock
selectivity becomes even more important as we move forward.
On the economic front, the English speaking countries of the United States, the
United Kingdom and Australia, are experiencing a strong build up of demand. By
contrast, Continental Europe and Japan are just now stabilizing at low operating
levels. Europe should begin to accelerate as we move further into the year.
Little has changed recently in terms of where the best stock values are found.
Japan, Germany and Hong Kong continue to look relatively rich, although that
could change as we move further into 1994. We are identifying attractive stocks
in the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico.
Over the near term, investors may continue to witness high volatility in the
world's stock markets. Such events may offer opportunities for the prudent
investor to buy shares at depressed levels. Investors, as always, should focus
on the long-term as short-term market action tends to be driven more by
emotional and psychological factors than sound fundamentals.

Results from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical and reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. 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. Past performance
cannot guarantee comparable future results. Investing in foreign markets
involves additional risks such as currency fluctuations and political and social
developments, which are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus. The
manager is currently limiting the expenses of the Fund. Without this reduction
of expenses, the total return would have been lower.

(LOGO)          INSTITUTIONAL

                FUND
 
OBJECTIVE:  To realize long-term total return
consistent with moderate portfolio risk.
INVESTMENT APPROACH:  Under normal operating
parameters, the Adviser will use the following
ranges, as a percentage of total assets, for each type
of security to be purchased by the Fund:
   - 25%-50% will be invested in common and
   preferred stocks and other equity-related
   securities.
   - 30%-60% will be invested in investment-grade
   fixed income securities of intermediate
   maturities.
   - 0%-45% will be invested in money market
   instruments.
ADVISER:  Prudential Diversified Investment
Strategies (PDI) is a business unit of The Prudential
Investment Corporation dedicated to equity index
and balanced fund investing for institutional
clients. Established in 1975, PDI is among the oldest
quantitatively oriented balanced managers in the
country, currently managing $16.0 billion in equity,
balanced and fixed income accounts.
ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  The bond rally fizzled at
the close of 1993, and both bonds and stocks fell
once the Federal Reserve Board began increasing
short term interest rates in early February. This
preemptive strike against inflation produced
less-than-desirable returns for the first quarter of
1994. Looking ahead, we believe stocks should
outperform bonds, given solid corporate earnings
and an improving economy. The Fund's allocation
as of March 31, 1994 shows we are slightly
overweighted in stocks (43.2% of assets) versus
bonds (41.0%) and short-term securities (15.4%).

</TABLE>
Results from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical and reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. 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. Past performance
cannot guarantee comparable future results. The manager is currently limiting
the expenses of the Fund. Without this reduction of expenses, the total return
would have been lower.
(1) The Composite Index is a weighted average as follows: 45% S&P 500; 45%
Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index; 10% T-Bill return. The Fund, on
average, has been invested approximately 44% in stocks, 42% in bonds and 14% in
short-term investments for each of the periods. The S&P 500 returned -1.55%,
1.47% and 7.65%; the Lehman Gov't/Corp. Index returned -3.41%, 2.78% and 6.73%;
and T-bills returned 1.62%, 3.18% and 3.19% for each of the periods,
respectively.

                FUND                      (UNAUDITED)

   The Prudential Institutional Fund (the Company) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment
company. The Company was established as a Delaware business trust on May 11,
1992 and consists of seven separate funds. The information presented in these
financial statements pertains to only four funds (Fund or Funds): Growth Stock
Fund, Stock Index Fund, International Stock Fund and Balanced Fund. The Company
had no operations until July 7, 1992 when 10,000 shares of beneficial interest
(2,500 shares of each Fund) were sold for $100,000 to Prudential Institutional
Fund Management, Inc. (PIFM). Investment operations commenced on November 5,
1992 for each Fund.
   The Funds' investment objectives are as follows: Growth Stock Fund--long-term
growth of capital through investment primarily in equity securities of
established companies with above-average growth prospects; Stock Index
Fund--investment results that correspond to the price and yield performance of
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index; International Stock
Fund--long-term growth of capital through investment in equity securities of
foreign issues with income as a secondary objective; and Balanced
Fund--long-term total return consistent with moderate portfolio risk.
   The ability of issuers of debt securities, other than those issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, held by the Funds to meet their obligations
may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, region, or
country.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
   The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Fund.
   Securities Valuations: Securities, including options, warrants, futures
contracts and options thereon, for which the primary market is on a national
securities exchange, commodities exchange or board of trade and NASDAQ national
market equity securities are valued at the last sale price on such exchange or
board of trade on the date of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day,
at
the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices on such day.
   Securities, that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market,
including listed securities for which the primary market is believed to be
over-the-counter, shall be valued at the average of the most recently quoted bid
and asked prices provided by a principal market maker or dealer.
   U.S. Government securities for which market quotations are available shall
be
valued at a price provided by an independent broker/dealer or pricing service.
   Securities for which reliable market quotations are not available or for
which the pricing agent or principal market maker does not provide a valuation
or provides a valuation that, in the judgment of one of the subadvisers, does
not represent fair value, shall be valued at fair value as determined under
procedures established by the Trustees.
   Quotations of foreign securities in a foreign currency shall be converted to
U.S. dollar equivalents at the current rate obtained from a recognized bank or
dealer.
   Forward currency exchange contracts shall be valued at the current cost of
covering or offsetting such contracts.
   Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current
market quotations. Short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost. In the event that a Subadviser determines that
amortized cost does not represent fair value regarding certain short-term
securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, such securities will
be
valued at market value.
   In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Company's
policy that its

custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of
which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including
accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one
business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis
to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults, and the value
of the collateral declines or, if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with
respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the
Company may be delayed or limited.
   Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are
calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
   Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to
purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price
for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract,
a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets
equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the
``initial margin''. Subsequent payments, known as ``variation margin'', are made
or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the
value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for
financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss until
the contracts expire or are closed, at which time the gain or loss is
reclassified to realized gain or loss. The Funds invest in financial futures
contracts solely for the purpose of hedging their existing portfolio securities
or securities the Funds intend to purchase against fluctuations in value caused
by changes in prevailing market conditions. Should market conditions move
unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial
futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions
involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures
contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.
   Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S.
dollars on the following basis:
   (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities--at
the closing rates of exchange.
   (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses--at
the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
   Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange
rates and market values at the close of the fiscal period, the Funds do not
isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes
in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the
market prices of securities held at the end of the fiscal period. Similarly, the
Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the
fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio
securities sold during the fiscal period. Accordingly, these realized foreign
currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gains (losses)
on investment transactions.
   Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions, if any,
represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from holding of foreign
currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement
dates of securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of
dividends and foreign taxes recorded on the Funds' books and the U.S. dollar
equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net currency gains and losses from
valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities

at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized
appreciation/
depreciation on investments and foreign currencies.
   Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of,
among other factors, the level of governmental supervision and regulation of
foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic
instability.
   Equalization: The Funds follow the accounting practice known as equalization
by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquisitions of
Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net
investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to
undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment
income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisitions of the Funds' shares.
   Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions, if any, of each
Fund are declared in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of
the Fund. Each Fund will declare and distribute a dividend of its net investment
income and a distribution of its net capital gains, if any, at least annually.
Distributions of income dividends and capital gains distributions of each Fund
are made on the payment date and reinvested at the per share net asset value as
of the record date or such other date as the Board may determine. On the
``ex-dividend'' date, the net asset value per share excludes the dividend (i.e.,
is reduced by the amount of the distribution).
   Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.
   Taxes: It is the Funds' policy to continue to meet the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable net income to its shareholders. Therefore, no
federal income tax provision is required.
   Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance
with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
   Deferred Organizational Expenses: Costs incurred, estimated at $450,000, in
connection with the organization and initial registration of the Company were
paid initially by PIFM and Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc. (PMF). These
costs have been deferred and will be amortized ratably over the period of
benefit not to exceed 60 months from the date each of the Funds' commenced
investment operations.
Note 2. Agreements
   The Company has entered into a management agreement with PIFM. Pursuant to
this agreement, PIFM has responsibility for all investment advisory services and
supervises the subadviser's performance of such services. PIFM is an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America
(Prudential).
   PIFM has entered into subadvisory agreements with The Prudential Investment
Corporation (PIC), Jennison Associates Capital Corp. (Jennison) and Mercator
Asset Management, Inc. (Mercator), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Prudential. Each subadviser will furnish investment advisory services in
connection with the management of the various Funds. Jennison serves as
subadviser to the Growth Stock Fund. PIC serves as subadviser to the Balanced
Fund and the Stock Index Fund. Mercator serves as subadviser to the
International Stock Fund. PIFM will pay for the costs and expenses attributable
to the subadvisory agreements and the salaries and expenses of all personnel of
the Company except for fees and expenses of unaffiliated Trustees. The Funds
will bear all other costs and expenses.
