LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET FUND

January 11, 1995

Dear Shareholder:

During the Fund's fiscal year, maturity management, asset allocation, and
focus on high-quality issues helped the Fund outperform the IBC/Donoghue's
Taxable Money Fund Average. For the 12 months ended November 30, 1994, the
Fund had a total return of 3.92%, outperforming benchmark's return of
3.49%.

The Fund's net asset value remained constant at $1.00 per share. The
Fund's net assets were approximately $584.9 million on November 30, 1994,
compared to $27.2 million at the end of November 1993.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
After declining to their lowest levels in 25 years during 1993, interest
rates increased dramatically in 1994. To slow the pace of economic growth
and keep inflation low, the Federal Reserve began raising short-term
interest rates - moving first on February 4, 1994, and following with five
additional rate hikes by the end of November.

Concerned that the Federal Reserve was not acting quickly enough to curb
inflation, investors began requiring higher interest rates on bonds. These
higher rates were needed to prevent inflation from eroding the future
purchasing power of their investment returns. Accordingly, yields rose
across the maturity spectrum. For example, the yield on the three-month
Treasury bill increased by 217 basis points from January to November,
rising from 2.97% to 5.14%. To keep pace, money market fund average
maturities significantly decreased over the year as interest rates rose.
According to IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND REPORT, assets in money market funds
steadily increased.

ANNUAL REVIEW
Morgan draws upon proprietary research to control the maturity structure
and asset allocation of the Fund's Portfolio. Our portfolio managers invest
in a range of fixed income instruments to increase the potential for higher
Fund returns.

<PAGE>

Given our expectations for rising interest rates, we positioned the
Portfolio defensively with a short target average life of 25 to 35 days for
most of the period, compared with an average of about 38 days for its
benchmark. In general, shorter-maturity securities outperformed longer-term
instruments in the rising rate environment, which helped boost Fund
returns. To take advantage of further rate increases, 16% of Portfolio
assets were invested in floating rate notes of government agencies and
other high-quality issuers. Reflecting tighter yield spreads versus
governments, the Portfolio's 37% allocation in commercial paper at the end
of November was reduced from earlier in the year.

INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
While the Federal Reserve did not act in December, our forecast calls for
further increases in short-term interest rates, at least for the first half
of 1995. In light of this outlook, we plan to keep the Portfolio's target
maturity at about 30 days until rates stabilize.

As always, we welcome your comments or questions. Please call J.P. Morgan
Funds Services toll free at (800) 766-7722.

Sincerely,

Evelyn E. Guernsey

Fund performance
EXAMINING PERFORMANCE
One way to look at performance is to review a fund's average annual total
return. This figure takes the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
shows you what would have happened if the fund had achieved that return by
performing at a constant rate each year. Average annual total returns
represent the average yearly change of a fund's value over various time
periods, typically 1, 5, or 10 years (or since inception). Total returns
for periods of less than one year provide a picture of how a fund has
performed over the short term.

*Reflects performance of The Pierpont Money Market Fund, the predecessor entity
to The Money Market Portfolio, since its inception on 10/1/82. Past performance
is not a guarantee of future results. All returns are net of fees and assume the
reinvestment of distributions and reflect reimbursement of certain Fund and
Portfolio expenses as described in the Prospectus. IBC/Donoghue's Taxable Money
Fund Average is an average of all taxable major money market fund returns. This
comparative information is available to the public from the IBC/Donoghue
Organization, Inc. No representation is made that the information gathered from
this source is accurate or complete. The JPM Institutional Money Market Fund
invests all of its investable assets in The Money Market Portfolio, a separately
registered investment company which is not available to the public but only to
other collective investment vehicles such as the Fund. Consistent with
applicable regulatory guidance, performance for the period prior to The JPM
Institutional Money Market Fund's inception reflects the performance of The
Pierpont Money Market Fund, the predecessor entity to The Money Market
Portfolio, which had a similar investment objective and restrictions as the
Portfolio. The performance for such period reflects deduction of the expenses of
The Pierpont Money Market Fund, which were higher than the expenses for The JPM
Institutional Money Market Fund, after reimbursement.

THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The JPM Institutional Money Market Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of The
JPM Institutional Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"). The Trust
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced
operations on July 12, 1993.

The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The Money Market Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a diversified open-end management investment company having the
same investment objectives as the Fund. The value of such investment reflects
the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (22.2% at
November 30, 1994). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the
performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio,
including the schedule of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and
should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

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

b)The Fund records its share of net investment income, realized gain and
loss and adjusts its investment in the Portfolio each day. All the net
investment income and realized gain and loss of the Portfolio is allocated
pro rata among the Fund and other investors in the Portfolio at the time
of such determination.

c)All the Fund's net investment income is declared as dividends daily and
paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders of net realized capital gain,
if any, are declared and paid annually.

d)The Fund incurred organization expenses in the amount of $51,045. These
costs were deferred and are being amortized by the Fund on a straight-line
basis over a five-year period from the commencement of operations.

f)Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to any two or more funds in
the Trust are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund in
the Trust, except where allocations of direct expenses to each fund can
otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are
charged to that fund.

g)For United States Federal income tax purposes the Fund had a capital loss
carryforward at November 30, 1994 of $2,617 which will expire in the year
2002. No capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders
until future net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward.

h)The Fund has adopted Statement of Position 93-2 Determination, Disclosure,
and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return
of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. Accordingly, permanent
book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions are
reclassifed to paid-in capital.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:

a)The Trust retains Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature") to
serve as Administrator and Distributor. Signature provides administrative
services necessary for the operations of the Fund, furnishes office space
and facilities required for conducting the business of the Fund and pays
the compensation of the Fund's officers affiliated with Signature. The
agreement provides for a fee to be paid to Signature at an annual rate
determined by the following schedule: 0.04% of the first $1 billion of the
aggregate average daily net assets of the Trust, The Pierpont Funds, and
The JPM Institutional Plus Fund, which are two other affiliated fund
families for which Signature acts as administrator, 0.032% of the next $2
billion of such net assets, 0.024% of the next $2 billion of such net
assets, and 0.016% of such net assets in excess of $5 billion. The daily
equivalent of the fee rate is applied daily to the net assets of the Fund.
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, Signature's fee amounted to
$52,168.

b)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Financial and Fund Accounting
Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty Trust
Company of New York ("Morgan") under which Morgan receives a fee, based on
the percentage described below, for overseeing certain aspects of the
administration and operation of the Fund. The Services Agreement is also
designed to provide an expense limit for certain expenses of the Fund. If
total expenses of the Fund, excluding the shareholder servicing fee, the
fund services fee and amortization of organization expenses, exceed the
expense limit of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets, Morgan will
reimburse the Fund for the excess expense amount and receive no fee.
Should such expenses be less than the expense limit, Morgan's fee would be
limited to the difference between such expenses and the fee calculated
under the Services Agreement. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994,
Morgan agreed to reimburse the Fund $265,806 for excess expenses. In
addition, to the expenses that Morgan assumes under the Services
Agreement, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent necessary
to maintain the total operating expenses of the Fund, including the
expenses allocated to the Fund from the Portfolio, at no more than 0.20%
(prior to April 15, 1994 the Fund's expense limit was 0.30%) of the
average daily net assets of the Fund through November 30, 1995. For the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the
Fund an additional $299,019 for excess expenses.

c)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Shareholder Servicing Agreement
with Morgan. The Agreement provides for the Fund to pay Morgan a fee for
these services which is computed daily and may be paid monthly at an
annual rate of 0.11% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, the fee for these services amounted
to $200,287.

d)Effective January 15, 1994, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, entered into
a Fund Services Agreement with Pierpont Group, Inc. ("Group") to assist
the Trustees in exercising their overall supervisory responsibilities for
the Trust's affairs. The Trustees of the Trust represent all the existing
shareholders of Group. The Fund's allocated portion of Group's costs in
performing its services amounted to $16,147 for the period January 15,
1994 to November 30, 1994.

e)An annual aggregate fee of $55,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
a Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, and The JPM
Institutional Plus Fund and their respective Portfolios. The Trustees' Fee
and Expenses shown in the financial statements represents the Fund's
allocated portion of the total trustees fees and expenses.

the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Act") as a no-load, diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York on November 4, 1992. The Portfolio commenced operations on
July 12, 1993. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an
unlimited number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Portfolio:

a)Investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
The amortized cost method of valuation values a security at its cost at
the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to
maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of
fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instruments.

The Portfolio's custodian or designated subcustodians, as the case may be
under triparty repurchase agreements, takes possession of the collateral
pledged for investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the
Portfolio. It is the policy of the Portfolio to value the underlying
collateral daily on a mark-to-market basis to determine that the value,
including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price plus
accrued interest. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase,
the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances,
in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement,
realization and/ or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject
to legal proceedings.

b) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment
income consists of interest income, which includes the amortization of
premiums and discounts. For financial and tax reporting purposes,
realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot
identification.

c) The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be subject to
taxation on its share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital
gains. It is intended that the Portfolio's assets will be managed in such
a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the
requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The cost of
securities is the same for book and tax purposes.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

a) The Portfolio has an investment advisory agreement with Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"). Under the terms of the investment
advisory agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.20%
of the Portfolio's average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.10% on
any excess over $1 billion. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994,
this fee amounted to $3,423,576.

<PAGE>
THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b) The Portfolio has retained Signature Broker -- Dealer Services, Inc.
("Signature") to serve as Administrator and Distributor. Signature
provides administrative services necessary for the operations of the
Portfolio, furnishes office space and facilities required for conducting
the business of the Portfolio and pays the compensation of the
Portfolio's officers affiliated with Signature. The agreement provides
for a fee to be paid to Signature at an annual fee rate determined by the
following schedule: 0.01% of the first $1 billion of the aggregate
average daily net assets of the Portfolio and the other portfolios
subject to the Administrative Services Agreement, 0.008% of the next $2
billion of such net assets, 0.006% of the next $2 billion of such net
assets, and 0.004% of such net assets in excess of $5 billion. The daily
equivalent of the fee rate is applied to the daily net assets of the
Portfolio. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, Signature's fee
for these services amounted to $165,519.

c) The Portfolio has a Financial and Fund Accounting Services Agreement
("Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan receives a fee,
based on the percentages described below, for overseeing certain aspects
of the administration and operation of the Portfolio. The Services
Agreement is also designed to provide an expense limit for certain
expenses of the Portfolio. If total expenses of the Portfolio, excluding
the advisory fee, custody expenses, fund services fee, and brokerage
costs, exceed the expense limit of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets, Morgan will reimburse the Portfolio for the excess expense
amount and receive no fee. Should such expenses be less than the expense
limit, Morgan's fee would be limited to the difference between such
expenses and the fee calculated under the Services Agreement. For the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, Morgan will receive a fee of
$385,012. In addition to the expenses that Morgan assumes under the
Services Agreement, effective April 12, 1994 Morgan has voluntarily
agreed to reimburse the Portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain
total operating expenses of the Portfolio at no more than 0.20% of the
average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the period April 12, 1994
to November 30, 1994 Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Portfolio
$28,018.

d) Effective January 15, 1994 the Portfolio entered into a Fund Services
Agreement with Pierpont Group, Inc. ("Group") to assist the Trustees in
exercising their overall supervisory responsibilities for the Portfolio's
affairs. The Trustees of the Portfolio represent all the existing
shareholders of Group. The Portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs
in performing its services amounted to $246,089 for the period January
15, 1994 to November 30, 1994.

e) An aggregate annual fee of $55,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
a Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, The JPM
Institutional Plus Fund and their corresponding Portfolios. The Trustees'
Fees and Expenses shown in the financial statements represents the
Portfolio's allocated portion of the total fees and expenses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Investors of
The Money Market Portfolio

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the supplementary data present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of The Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio")
at November 30, 1994, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and
the changes in its net assets and its supplementary data for the year then ended
and for the period July 12, 1993 (commencement of operations) through November
30, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and supplementary data (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
November 30, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the
application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers
were not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL SELECTED U.S. EQUITY FUND

January 11, 1995

Dear Shareholder:

The JPM Institutional Selected U.S. Equity Fund's sound investment strategy has
enabled it to produce strong historical returns for its shareholders. In fact,
the Fund has outperformed its peer group, as measured by the Morningstar Growth
& Income Fund Average, since the inception of its predecessor fund in 1985 and
for the past one-, three-, and five-year periods. These returns are a direct
result of Morgan's disciplined investment process consistently applied through
the most volatile of markets. We believe that the Fund's solid performance
record makes a strong case for "staying the course" over the long term.

For the six-months ended November 30, 1994, the Fund returned -2.35% versus
0.81% for the S&P 500, a result of the volatility in the markets over the last
several months. At the end of the current reporting period, the Fund's net asset
value was $10.51, compared with $10.92 on May 31, 1994. In addition, the Fund's
net assets grew from $47 million to end the period at $104 million.

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
During the six months ended November 30, 1994, the Federal Reserve continued to
raise short-term interest rates. Stock prices declined in June as the dollar
suddenly weakened and bond prices fell. While the stock market staged a summer
rally, it declined again in September as investors were confronted with evidence
of economic strength, causing fears of inflation and further rate hikes. The
market rose modestly in October, but further inflation worries and a
higher-than-expected 75 basis point increase in the Fed Funds rate in November
produced negative returns. Adding to this weakness were concerns that equity
markets were overvalued.

In spite of the economic recovery, consumer cyclical stocks fared poorly during
the period, as many companies saw dramatic stock price declines on even slightly
negative news. Technology led all sectors, as many investors expected continued
growth. Utilities, which are usually very sensitive to interest rate changes,
rose as bonds rallied and many fund managers added them as defensive stocks. As
the Clinton reform plan faded, healthcare stocks strengthened.

SEMI-ANNUAL REVIEW
The JPM Institutional Selected U.S. Equity Fund employs a value-oriented
approach to stock selection. This means that Morgan's team of research
professionals analyzes stocks on a sector-by-sector basis, searching out
high-quality companies that are undervalued relative to our forecast of their
long-term earnings and dividend-payouts. Our investment process revolves around
three key elements: fundamental research, systematic valuation, and disciplined
portfolio construction.

Much of the volatility during the period under review was related to the
market's fixation on short-term events. For example, Portfolio holding BAUSCH &
LOMB INC., a healthcare company, fell almost 33% based on lingering inventory
issues, principally in their sunglasses business. Through meetings with the
company's management, we were convinced that the company's long-term outlook
remained positive. Since the end of the reporting period, several Wall Street
analysts have issued favorable reports about BAUSCH & LOMB INC.'s price
appreciation potential, and its price has begun to recover.

Another holding, GENERAL MOTORS CORP., declined during the period, falling 10%
in one day after reporting a profit shortfall for its North American operations.
This caused many investors to conclude that GM failed in its attempts to improve
margins. We believe its operational improvements will be beneficial to the
company in the long term and continue to maintain our position in GM. GEORGIA
GULF CORP., a recent purchase, is a commodity chemical company. At purchase,
GEORGIA GULF CORP. was undervalued due to investor concerns about the economy
and the company's leveraged balance sheet. Very strong earnings over the summer,
however, caused the company's price to rise, making it one of the Portfolio's
top-performing stocks.

INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
We expect continued volatility in 1995, as the market acclimates to 1994's rate
increases and anticipates further rate hikes. Our view is that the market
is fairly valued at current levels, but opportunities to invest remain. For the
first time in many years, most of the world's leading economies are expanding.
Inflationary pressures exist, but are currently benign. Corporate restructurings
have left many companies with stronger balance sheets and the ability to
withstand increasing competition and rising rates. Our approach to stock
selection helps us seek out those companies that are positioned to take
advantage of the current economic cycle.We continue to hold stocks that we
believe have long-term prospects for growth, despite the market's short-term
fluctuations.

As always, we welcome your comments or questions. Please call J.P. Morgan Funds
Services toll free at (800) 766-7722.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Evelyn E. Guernsey

Fund Performance

EXAMINING PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a mutual fund's performance. One approach is
to look at the growth of a hypothetical investment of $10,000. The chart at
right shows that $10,000 invested at inception of the Fund's predecessor fund
would have grown to $31,917 at November 30, 1994.

Another way to look at performance is to review a fund's average annual total
return. This figure takes the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and shows you
what would have happened if the fund had achieved that return by performing at a
constant rate each year. Average annual total returns represent the average
yearly change of a fund's value over various time periods, typically 1, 5, or 10
years (or since inception). Total returns for periods of less than
one year provide a picture of how a fund has performed over the short term.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The JPM Institutional Selected U.S. Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a separate
series of The JPM Institutional Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the
"Trust") which was organized on November 4, 1992. The Trust is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end
management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on July 19, 1993.

The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The Selected U.S. Equity
Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a diversified open-end management investment
company having the same investment objectives as the Fund. The value of such
investment reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the
Portfolio (21% at November 30, 1994). The performance of the Fund is directly
affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the
Portfolio, including the schedule of investments, are included elsewhere in this
report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

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

b)The Fund records its share of net investment income, realized and
unrealized gain and loss and adjusts its investment in the Portfolio each
day. All the net investment income and realized and unrealized gain and
loss of the Portfolio is allocated pro rata among the Fund and other
investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

c)Substantially all the Fund's net investment income is declared as
dividends and semi-annually. Distributions of realized net capital gains,
if any, are declared and paid annually.

d)The Fund incurred organization expenses in the amount of $49,795. These
costs were deferred and are being amortized by the Fund on a straight-line
basis over a five-year period from the commencement of operations.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

a)The Trust retains Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature") to
serve as Administrator and Distributor. Signature provides administrative
services necessary for the operations of the Fund, furnishes office space
and facilities required for conducting the business of the Fund and pays
the compensation of the Fund's officers affiliated with Signature. The
agreement provides for a fee to be paid to Signature at an annual rate
determined by the following schedule: 0.04% of the first $1 billion of the
aggregate average daily net assets of the Trust, as well as the net assets
of The Pierpont Funds and The JPM Institutional Plus Fund, which are two
other affiliated fund families for which Signature acts as administrator,
0.032% of the next $2 billion of such net assets, 0.024% of the next $2
billion of such net assets, and 0.016% of such net assets in excess of $5
billion. The daily equivalent of the fee rate is applied daily to the net
assets of the Fund. For the six months ended November 30, 1994,
Signature's fee for these services amounted to $12,043.

b)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Financial and Fund Accounting
Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty Trust
Company of New York ("Morgan") under which Morgan receives a fee, based on
the percentage described below, for overseeing certain aspects of the
administration and operation of the Fund. The Services Agreement is also
designed to provide an expense limit for certain expenses of the Fund. If
total expenses of the Fund, excluding the shareholder servicing fee, the
fund services fee and amortization of organization expenses, exceed the
expense limit of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets, Morgan will
reimburse the Fund for the excess expense amount and receive no fee.
Should such expenses be less than the expense limit, Morgan's fee would be
limited to the difference between such expenses and the fee calculated
under the Services Agreement. For the six months ended November 30, 1994,
Morgan agreed to reimburse the Fund $45,508 for excess expenses. In
addition to the expenses that Morgan assumes under the Services Agreement,
Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent necessary to
maintain the total operating expenses of the Fund, including the expenses
allocated to the Fund from the Portfolio, at no more than 0.60% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund through May 31, 1995. For the six
months ended November 30, 1994, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Fund
$15,213 for expenses which exceeded this limit.

c)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Shareholder Servicing Agreement
with Morgan. The Agreement provides for the Fund to pay Morgan a fee for
these services which is computed daily and may be paid monthly at an
annual rate of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the
six months ended November 30, 1994, the fee for these services amounted to
$21,110.

d)The Trust has a Fund Services Agreement with Pierpont Group, Inc.
("Group") to assist the Trustees in exercising their overall supervisory
responsibilities for the Trust's affairs. The Trustees of the Trust
represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The Fund's allocated
portion of Group's costs in performing its services amounted to $4,335 for
six months ended November 30, 1994.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Selected U.S. Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Act") as a no-load,
diversified, open-end management investment company which was organized as a
trust under the laws of the State of New York. The Portfolio commenced
operations on July 19, 1993 and received a contribution of certain assets and
liabilities, including securities, with a value of $209,477,219 on that date
from The Pierpont Equity Fund, Inc. in exchange for a beneficial interest in the
Portfolio. At that date, net unrealized appreciation of $12,039,552 was included
in the contributed securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Portfolio:

a)The value of each security for which readily available market quotations
exists is based on a decision as to the broadest and most representative
market for such security. The value of such security will be based either
on the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or, in the
absence of recorded sales, at the average of the readily available closing
bid and ask prices on such exchanges, or at the average quoted bid and ask
prices in the over-the-counter market. Securities listed on a foreign
exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price available before the
time when net assets are valued. Unlisted securities are valued at the
average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market.
Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures
established by the Portfolio's Trustees. Such procedures include the use
of independent pricing services, which use prices based upon yields or
prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type;
indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. All
portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are
valued by the amortized cost method.

b)Futures -- A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy
and sell a security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into
such a contract, the Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an
amount of cash and/or securities equal to the minimum "initial margin"
requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Portfolio
agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the
daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are
known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Portfolio as
unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value
of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time when
it was closed. 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, and the possible
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. S&P 500
futures transactions during the six months ended November 30, 1994 are
summarized as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

c)Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which
includes the amortization of premiums and discounts, if any, is recorded
on an accrual basis. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized
gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot
identification.

d)The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxed on its
share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended
that the Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor
in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code.

e)The Portfolio's custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for
investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the Portfolio. It is the
policy of the Portfolio to value the underlying collateral daily on a
market-to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued
interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest.
In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolio has
the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in
satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event
of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
proceedings.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

a)The Portfolio has an investment advisory agreement with Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"). Under the terms of the investment
advisory agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.40%
of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended
November 30, 1994 such fees amounted to $966,962.

b)The Portfolio retains Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature")
to serve as Administrator and exclusive placement agent. Signature
provides administrative services necessary for the operations of the
Portfolio, furnishes office space and facilities required for conducting
the business of the Portfolio and pays the compensation of the Portfolio's
officers affiliated with Signature. The agreement provides for a fee to be
paid to Signature at an annual rate determined by the following schedule:
0.01% of the first $1 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets of
the Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to the Administrative
Services Agreement, 0.008% of the next $2 billion of such net assets,
0.006% of the next $2 billion of such net assets, and 0.004% of such net
assets in excess of $5 billion. The daily equivalent of the fee rate is
applied to the daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six months ended
November 30, 1994 such expenses amounted to $16,272.

c)The Portfolio has a Financial and Fund Accounting Services Agreement
("Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan receives a fee,
based on the percentages described below, for overseeing certain aspects
of the administration and operation of the Portfolio. The Services
Agreement is also designed to provide an expense limit for certain
expenses of the Portfolio. If total expenses of the Portfolio, excluding
the advisory fee, custody expenses, fund services fee, and brokerage
costs, exceed the expense limit of 0.10% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets up to $200 million, 0.05% of the next $200 million of average
daily assets and 0.03% of average daily net assets thereafter, Morgan will
reimburse the Portfolio for the excess expense amount and receive no fee.
Should such expenses be less than the expense limit, Morgan's fee would be
limited to the difference between such expenses the fee calculated under
the Services Agreements. For the six months ended November 30, 1994,
Morgan's fee amounted to $114,665.

d)The Portfolio has a Fund Services Agreement with Pierpont Group, Inc.
("Group") to assist the Trustees in exercising their overall supervisory
responsibilities for the Portfolio's affairs. The Trustees of the
Portfolio represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The
Portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services
amounted to $26,390 for the six months ended November 30, 1994.

e)An aggregate annual fee of $55,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
a Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, The JPM
Institutional Plus Fund and their corresponding Portfolios. The Trustees'
Fees and Expenses shown in the financial statements represents the
Portfolio's allocated portion of the total fees and expenses.

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL U.S. SMALL COMPANY FUND

January 11, 1995

Dear Shareholder:

The JPM Institutional U.S. Small Company Fund adheres to a disciplined stock
selection process designed to identify companies with outstanding long-term
earnings potential. The market's recent shortsightedness - and accompanying
volatility - has meant that the Fund's disciplined approach has been "out of
sync" with current market conditions, thus contributing to its recent
underperformance. When more favorable markets prevail, the Fund's performance
should improve as the small company stocks we have selected reach their full
performance potential.

For the six months ended November 30, 1994, the Fund returned -1.72% versus
- -0.50% for the Russell 2500 Index. The Fund's net asset value was $9.83 at the
end of November, versus $10.03 on May 31, 1994. In addition, the Fund's net
assets grew from $71 million to end the period at $94 million.

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Investors faced a difficult market environment throughout most of the six-month
period ended November 30, 1994, as the Federal Reserve's continued rate
increases caused stock and bond market volatility. Stock prices declined in June
as the dollar suddenly weakened and bond prices fell. The stock market staged a
summer rally, but declined in September as investors were again confronted with
evidence of economic strength, fueling fears of inflation and further rate
hikes. The market rose modestly in October, but continued inflation worries and
a higher-than-expected 75 basis point increase in the Fed Funds rate produced
negative returns in November. Adding to this weakness were concerns that equity
markets were overvalued. Based on fears they would be hit the hardest, however,
small cap stocks, which had seen three years of good returns before declining,
experienced a higher level of selling than large cap stocks.

Despite the economic recovery, cyclical stocks began to underperform during the
period, with the largest declines coming from the transportation and consumer
cyclical sectors. Even in light of the six interest rate increases during the
year, the utilities sector did relatively well. Technology led all sectors, as
many investors expected continued growth. Health care, as measured by the
Russell 2500, also posted gains for the period as prospects for radical reform
legislation diminished.

SEMI-ANNUAL REVIEW
Much of the volatility during the period was related to the market's fixation on
short-term events. For example, MESA AIRLINES, which we started buying in 1993,
declined during the second and third quarters as the market reacted strongly to
negative news about the company. As its stock price was driven down
dramatically, we added to our position in MESA, believing that its fundamentals
were strong. In our view, the com-pany has a strong management team, a good
operating plan, a sound competitive strategy, and sufficient cash flow. As the
market realized the summer issues were temporary, MESA led the portfolio in
October and November, rising 36% for these months.

Portfolio holdings that are currently undergoing similar short-term pressures
include ONE PRICE CLOTHING STORES and CHARMING SHOPPES, INC. The recent
promotional values offered by many department stores have hurt these two
discount stores. Again, we view this as a temporary environment and are holding
the stocks based on their quality of management and their ability to ride out
these issues.

INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
Going forward, 1995 will likely continue to exhibit market volatility. As
companies absorb the rate increases of last year and potential new increases,
there will be additional pressure on capital. The good news is that for the
first time in many years, most of the world's leading economies are expanding.
We look to invest in companies that are positioned to capitalize on this growth.

Morgan's experienced research professionals will continue to perform fundamental
proprietary company research to identify attractively priced stocks of small cap
companies with superior growth potential.

Fund facts

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The JPM Institutional U.S. Small Company Fund seeks to provide a high total
return from a portfolio of equity securities of small companies. It is designed
for investors who are willing to assume the somewhat higher risk of investing in
small companies in order to seek a higher total return over time than might be
expected from a portfolio of stocks of large companies.

Fund performance

EXAMINING PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a mutual fund's performance. One approach is
to look at the growth of a hypothetical investment of $10,000. The chart at
right shows that $10,000 invested at the inception of the Fund's predecessor
fund would have grown to $26,967 at November 30, 1994.

Growth of $10,000 since inception*
June 27, 1985 -- November 30, 1994

Line graph with two axes: the X-axis represents years of
operations; the Y-axis represents dollar value. The graph plots
three lines: the first line represents the growth of a ten
thousand dollar investment in the Fund from June 27, 1985
(inception) to November 30, 1994; the second line represents the
growth of a ten thousand dollar investment in a portfolio of
securities reflecting the composition of the Russell 2500 Index
for the same time period; the third line represents the growth of
a ten thousand dollar investment in a portfolio of securities
reflecting the composition of the Morningstar Small Company Fund
Average for the same time period. The graph points are as

*Reflects performance of The Pierpont Capital Appreciation Fund, the predecessor
entity of The U.S. Small Company Portfolio, since its inception on 6/27/85.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. All returns are net of
fees and assume the reinvestment of distributions and reflect reimbursement of
certain Fund and Portfolio expenses as described in the Prospectus. The
Morningstar Mutual Fund Rating Service is a leading resource for mutual fund
data. Although gathered from reliable sources, data accuracy and completeness
cannot be guaranteed. The JPM Institutional U.S. Small Company Fund invests all
of its investable assets in The U.S. Small Company Portfolio, a separately
registered investment company which is not available to the public but only to
other collective investment vehicles such as the Fund. Consistent with
applicable regulatory guidance, performance for the period prior to The JPM
Institutional U.S. Small Company Fund's inception reflects the performance of
The Pierpont Capital Appreciation Fund, the predecessor entity to The U.S. Small
Company Portfolio, which has a substantially similar investment objective and
restrictions as the Portfolio. The performance for such prior period reflects
deduction of the expenses of The Pierpont Capital Appreciation Fund, which were
higher than the expenses for The JPM Institutional U.S. Small Company Fund,
after reimbursement.

THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL U.S. SMALL COMPANY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOVEMBER 30, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The JPM Institutional U.S. Small Company Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series
of The JPM Institutional Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust").
The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced
operations on July 19, 1993.

The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The U.S. Small Company
Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a diversified open-end management investment
company having the same investment objectives as the Fund. The value of such
investment reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the
Portfolio (16% at November 30, 1994). The performance of the Fund is directly
affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the
Portfolio, including the schedule of investments, are included elsewhere in this
report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

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

c)Substantially all the Fund's net investment income is declared as
dividends and paid semi-annually. Distributions to shareholders of net
realized capital gain, if any, are declared and paid annually.

e)Each series of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for federal
income tax purposes. The Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its income,
including net realized capital gains, if any, within the prescribed time
periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is
necessary. As of May 31, 1994, the Fund incurred and elected to defer
post-October losses of approximately $609,000 until the next taxable year.
To the extent that this capital loss is used to offset future capital
gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to
shareholders.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

a)The Trust retains Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature") to
serve as Administrator and Distributor. Signature provides administrative
services necessary for the operations of the Fund, furnishes office space
and facilities required for conducting the business of the Fund and pays
the compensation of the Fund's officers affiliated with Signature. The
agreement provides for a fee to be paid to Signature at an annual rate
determined by the following schedule: 0.04% of the first $1 billion of the
aggregate average daily net assets of the Trust, as well as the net assets
of The Pierpont Funds and the JPM Institutional Plus Fund, which are two
other affiliated fund families for which Signature acts as administrator,
0.032% of the next $2 billion of such net assets, 0.024% of the next $2
billion of such net assets, and 0.016% of such net assets in excess of $5
billion. The daily equivalent of the fee rate is applied daily to the net
assets of the Fund. For the six months ended November 30, 1994,
Signature's fee for these services amounted to $15,794.

b)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Financial and Fund Accounting
Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty Trust
Company of New York ("Morgan") under which Morgan receives a fee, based on
the percentage described below, for overseeing certain aspects of the
administration and operation of the Fund. The Services Agreement is also
designed to provide an expense limit for certain expenses of the Fund. If
total expenses of the Fund, excluding the shareholder servicing fee, the
fund services fee and amortization of organization expenses, exceed the
expense limit of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets, Morgan will
reimburse the Fund for the excess expense amount and receive no fee.
Should such expenses be less than the expense limit, Morgan's fee would be
limited to the difference between such expenses and the fee calculated
under the Services Agreement. For the six months ended November 30, 1994,
Morgan agreed to reimburse the Fund $41,887 for excess expenses. In
addition to the expenses that Morgan assumes under the Services Agreement,
Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent necessary to
maintain the total operating expenses of the Fund, including the expenses
allocated to the Fund from the Portfolio, at no more than 0.80% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund through May 31, 1995. For the six
months ended November 30, 1994, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Fund
$18,070 for expenses which exceeded this limit.

c)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Shareholder Servicing Agreement
with Morgan. The Agreement provides for the Fund to pay Morgan a fee for
these services which is computed daily and may be paid monthly at an
annual rate of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the
six months ended November 30, 1994, the fee for these services amounted to
$21,343.

d)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Fund Services Agreement with
Pierpont Group, Inc. ("Group") to assist the Trustees in exercising their
overall supervisory responsibilities for the Trust's affairs. The Trustees
of the Trust represent all the existing shareholders of Group. For the six
months ended November 30, 1994, the Fund's allocated portion of Group's
costs in performing its services amounted to $4,612.

a Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, the JPM
Institutional Plus Fund and their corresponding Portfolios. The Trustees'
Fees and Expenses shown in the financial statements represents the Fund's
allocated portion of the total fees and expenses.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The U.S. Small Company Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York. The Portfolio commenced operations on July 19, 1993 and
received a contribution of certain assets and liabilities, including securities,
with a value of $200,358,103 on that date from The Pierpont Capital Appreciation
Fund in exchange for a beneficial interest in the Portfolio. At that date, net
unrealized appreciation of $29,458,073 was included in the contributed
securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited
number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Portfolio:

a)The value of each security for which readily available market quotations
exists is based on a decision as to the broadest and most representative
market for such security. The value of such security will be based either
on the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or, in the
absence of recorded sales, at the readily available closing bid price on
such exchanges, or at the quoted bid price in the over-the-counter market.
Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale
price available before the time when net assets are valued. Unlisted
securities are valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices in
the over-the-counter market. Securities or other assets for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value in
accordance with procedures established by the Portfolio's Trustees. Such
procedures include the use of independent pricing services, which use
prices based upon yields or prices of securities of comparable quality,
coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and
general market conditions. All portfolio securties with a remaining
maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost.

b)Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as of the time that the
relevant ex-dividend date and amount becomes known. Interest income, which
includes the amortization of premiums and discounts, if any, is recorded
on an accrual basis. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized
gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot
identification.

c)The Portfolio intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be subject to
taxation on its share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital
gains. It is intended that the Portfolio's assets will be managed in such
a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the
requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

d)The Portfolio's custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for
investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the Portfolio. It is the
policy of the Portfolio to value the underlying collateral daily on a
mark-to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued
interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest.
In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolio has
the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in

31
<PAGE>
THE U.S. SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event
of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
proceedings.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

a)The Portfolio has an investment advisory agreement with Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"). Under the terms of the investment
advisory agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.60%
of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended
November 30, 1994, this fee amounted to $1,784,606.

b)The Portfolio retains Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature")
to serve as Administrator and Distributor. Signature provides
administrative services necessary for the operations of the Portfolio,
furnishes office space and facilities required for conducting the business
of the Portfolio and pays the compensation of the Portfolio's officers
affiliated with Signature. The agreement provides for a fee to be paid to
Signature at an annual rate determined by the following schedule: 0.01% of
the first $1 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets of the
Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to the Administrative Services
Agreement, 0.008% of the next $2 billion of such net assets, 0.006% of the
next $2 billion of such net assets, and 0.004% of such net assets in
excess of $5 billion. The daily equivalent of the fee rate is applied to
the daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six months ended November
30, 1994, Signature's fee for these services amounted to $20,044.

c)The Portfolio has a Financial and Fund Accounting Services Agreement
("Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan receives a fee,
based on the percentages described below, for overseeing certain aspects
of the administration and operation of the Portfolio. The Services
Agreement is also designed to provide an expense limit for certain
expenses of the Portfolio. If total expenses of the Portfolio, excluding
the advisory fee, custody expenses, fund services fee, and brokerage
costs, exceed the expense limit of 0.10% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets up to $200 million, 0.05% of the next $200 million of average
daily net assets, and 0.03% of average daily net assets thereafter, Morgan
will reimburse the Portfolio for the excess expense amount and receive no
fee. Should such expenses be less than the expense limit, Morgan's fee
would be limited to the difference between such expenses and the fee
calculated under the Services Agreement. For the six months ended November
30, 1994, this fee amounted to $131,378.

Fees and Expenses shown in the financial statements represents the
