CIGNA International Stock Fund  Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.  Significant Accounting Policies.  CIGNA International Stock Fund (the
"Fund") was organized as the sole series of CIGNA Institutional Funds Group, a
Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust") on August 10, 1992 and is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The Fund's objective is to provide long-term
growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks, preferred stocks and
convertible debt of companies based outside the United States. The preparation
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements.

A.  Security Valuation - Equity securities, including warrants, that are listed
on a United States or foreign securities exchange are valued at the last sale
price or, if there is no such price available, at the last bid price.  Portfolio
securities that are traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued
at the preceding closing prices of such securities on their respective
exchanges.  A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is
valued on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security by
the Board of Trustees or its delegates.  Other equity securities traded in the
over-the-counter market, including listed securities whose primary markets are
believed to be over-the-counter, are valued at the most recent bid price which
may be based on valuations furnished from a pricing service or from independent
securities dealers.  Short-term investments with remaining maturities of up to
and including 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.
Short-term investments that mature in more than 60 days are valued at current
market quotations.  Other securities and assets of the Fund are appraised at
fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the authority of, the
Trustees.

B.  Security Transactions and Related Investment Income - Security transactions
are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed).
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis.  Securities gains and losses are determined on
the basis of identified cost.  The cost for Federal income tax purposes is
substantially the same.

C.  Federal Taxes - It is the Fund's policy to continue to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains, if any,
to its shareholders.  Therefore, no Federal income or excise taxes on realized
income have been accrued.

D.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions
are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.  The timing and
characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are
determined in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles.  To the extent that such differences
are permanent, a reclass to paid in capital may be required.

E.  Currency Translation and Forward Currency Contracts - Foreign currency
amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates as
follows: assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange at the end of the
period, purchases and sales of securities and expenses at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the dates of such transactions.  The Fund from time to time may
enter into foreign currency transactions to convert to and from different
foreign currencies and to convert foreign currencies to and from the U.S.
dollar.  The Fund enters into these transactions either on a spot basis at the
spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or uses forward
currency exchange contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies.  Realized
and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the sale of holdings of foreign
currencies, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between trade dates and
settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the
amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the
amount actually received.

2.  Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.  Investment
advisory fees were paid or accrued to CIGNA Investments, Inc. (CII), certain
officers and directors of which are affiliated with the Fund.  Such advisory
fees are based on an annual rate of 0.80% applied to the average daily net
assets of the Fund.  CII has voluntarily agreed to reimburse such portion of its
fee and absorb other expenses as is necessary to cause the total annual
operating expenses of the Fund not to exceed 1.25% of the Fund's average daily
net assets.

The Fund reimburses CII for a portion of the compensation and related expenses
of the Fund's Treasurer and Secretary and certain persons who assist in carrying
out the responsibilities of those offices.  For the six months ended June 30,
1996, the Fund paid or accrued $13,431.

CII is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation.

3.  Trustees' Fees.  Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid or accrued to
trustees who are not employees of CIGNA Corporation or any of its affiliates.
Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their fees which are
invested in mutual fund shares in accordance with a deferred compensation plan.

4.  Purchases and Sales of Securities.  Purchases and sales of securities,
excluding short-term obligations, aggregated $3,172,517 and $3,127,124,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  As of June 30, 1996, 
the cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes was $7,086,218. At June
30, 1996, unrealized appreciation for Federal income tax purposes aggregated
$756,728, of which $1,225,507 related to appreciated securities and $468,779
related to depreciated securities.

5.  Forward Currency Contracts.  During the year, the Fund has entered into
various forward currency contracts under which it has been obligated to exchange
currencies at  certain specified dates.  Risks arise from the possible inability
of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from the movement
of currency values.  The outstanding contract at June 30, 1996 was as follows:


                                 Contract to  
           Settlement   ------------------------------    Unrealized
              Date         Receive         Deliver       Appreciation
          ------------  ------------------------------   --------------
             7/1/96      JPY 31,546,500     $300,000       $11,424
            10/1/96      JPY 32,349,000      300,000           264


JPY = Japanese Yen


6.  Capital Stock.  The Fund offers an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest with a par value of $.001 per share.  All of the shares outstanding at
June 30, 1996 were owned by an affiliate of CII.  The only transaction in
capital stock for the period from January 1, 1994 to June 30, 1996 was the
reinvestment of a dividend and distribution in the amount of $558,162 and
$998,211 in 49,745 and 82,890 additional shares on December 29, 1995 and
December 28, 1994, respectively.

7.  Post October Losses.  Under current tax law, certain net foreign currency
exchange losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and may be deferred
and treated as occurring on the first day of the following year.  For the year
ended December 31, 1995, the Fund may elect to defer losses of $69,814 occurring
between November 1, 1995 and December 31, 1995.
