LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND
December 15, 1994
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the Annual Report and performance discussion of The
JPM Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund for the year ended October 31,
1994.
The Fund seeks to provide current income, maintain a high level of liquidity and
preserve capital. The Fund invests solely in Treasury bills, notes, and
bonds--all of which are backed as to principal and interest payments by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government, and in repurchase agreements with
respect to those obligations. The Portfolio maintains a weighted average
maturity of not more than 90 days using individual securities with effective
maturities of 13 months or less.
During the Fund's fiscal year, The JPM Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund
outperformed its benchmark, Donoghue's U.S. Treasury and Repo Money Market Fund
Average. For the 12 months ended October 31, 1994, the Fund had a total return
of 3.61%, compared with 3.16% for its benchmark. In addition, its average 7-day
yield on October 31, 1994, was 4.62% compared with Donoghue's average of 4.17%.
The Fund's net asset value remained constant at $1.00 per share. The Fund's net
assets grew from approximately $25.5 million at the beginning of November 1993,
to $80.1 million at the end of October.
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 four additional
rate hikes by the end of October.
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, including those for
money market instruments, rose across the maturity spectrum. For example, the
yield on the three-month Treasury bill increased by 217 basis points since the
beginning of the year, rising from 2.97% to 5.14%.

ANNUAL REVIEW
Morgan systematically draws upon proprietary economic research to control the
Fund's maturity structure and allocate assets. Our portfolio managers actively
allocate the Fund among Treasury securities to increase the potential for higher
returns.
Given our expectations for continuous rate increases, we positioned the Fund
defensively with a shorter target average life of 25 to 35 days for most of the
period. In general, shorter-maturity securities outperformed longer-term
instruments in the rising rate environment.
At the end of October, over half of the Fund was invested in U.S. Treasuries,
with the remainder invested in repurchase agreements. In addition, the Fund
continued to focus on issues that present minimal, or no, credit risk.
INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
Our forecast calls for further increases in short-term interest rates. In fact,
another Fed rate hike in November brought the Fed Funds rate (the rate banks
charge each other overnight loans) up to 5.50%. In light of this outlook, we
plan to keep the Fund's target maturity at about 30 days until rates appear to
stabilize.
As always, we welcome your comments or questions. Please call J.P. Morgan Funds
Services toll free at (800) 766-7722.
Sincerely,
/s/ 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 the 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.

THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The JPM Institutional Treasury Money Market 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 January 4, 1993.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The Treasury 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 (40.3% at October 31, 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 $104,282. 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.
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.
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 October 31, 1994 of $2,067 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.

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 to the net assets of the Fund. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, Signature's fee amounted to
$17,006.
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 October 31, 1994,
Morgan agreed to reimburse the Fund $118,050 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%
of the average daily net assets of the Fund through October 31, 1994. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the
Fund $120,864 and an additional $7,574 for excess expenses allocated from
the Portfolio.
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 October 31, 1995, the fee for these services amounted to
$64,191.
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 $6,211 for the period January 15, 1994
to October 31, 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
Expense shown in the financial statements represents the Fund's allocated
portion of the total fees and expenses.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Treasury 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 January 4, 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 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. The cost of
securities is substantially the same for book and tax purposes
d)Expenses incurred by the Portfolio in connection with the organization of
$27,491 are being amortized by the Portfolio on a straight-line basis over
a five year period from the commencement of operations.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
such net assets in excess of $1 billion. For the fiscal year ended October
31, 1994, this fee amounted to $339,521.
b)The Portfolio has retained 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 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 October 31, 1994, the Portfolio's allocated portion of
Signature's fee for these services amounted to $11,777.
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, amortization of organization 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 October 31, 1994, Morgan has
agreed to reimburse the Portfolio $13,844. In addition to the expenses
that Morgan assumes under the Services Agreement, effective April 6, 1994
Morgan has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Portfolio to the extent
necessary to maintain the 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 6, 1994 to October 31, 1994 Morgan has agreed to reimburse
the Portfolio $77,535.
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 $17,104 for the period January 15,
1994 to October 31, 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 Treasury 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 Treasury Money Market Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") at October 31, 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 January 4, 1993 (commencement of operations)
through October 31, 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 October 31, 1994 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL SHORT TERM BOND FUND
December 15, 1994
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the Annual Report and performance discussion of The
JPM Institutional Short Term Bond Fund for the year ended October 31, 1994.
The JPM Institutional Short Term Bond Fund seeks to provide a high total return
while attempting to limit the likelihood of negative quarterly returns by
investing among the broad sectors of the fixed income market, including U.S.
government and agency securities, corporate bonds, private placements, and
asset- and mortgage-backed securities. Under normal conditions, the Fund's
duration (a measure of the Fund's price sensitivity to interest-rate changes)
ranges between one and three years.
During the Fund's fiscal year, The JPM Institutional Short Term Bond Fund
underperformed its benchmark, but produced positive returns in a rising interest
rate environment. For the 12 months ended October 31, 1994, the Fund has a
total return of 0.87%, compared with 1.19% for its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch
1-3 Year Treasury Index. The Fund's net asset value declined from $9.99 to end
at $9.60 per share after paying dividends totaling $0.47 per share. In
addition, the Fund's net assets were $47.7 million at the end of the reporting
period.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
After declining to their lowest levels in 25 years in 1993, interest rates
increased dramatically during 1994. Investors began to fear that the strong
economic recovery combined with continued loose monetary policy or low
rates would cause inflation to rise.
Even moderate levels of inflation can be detrimental to long-term economic
growth and stability. Much like the environment in the early 1980s, high and
increasing inflation can only be decelerated by extremely high short-term rates
and painful recession. Accordingly, the Fed tried to preempt this scenario by
raising short-term interest rates five times between February and October 1994
(and again in November).

<PAGE>
During this time, the market feared that the Fed was not acting quickly enough.
Investors began requiring higher interest rates on their bonds to compensate
them in case inflation would cause the future purchasing power of their
investment to erode. As a result, interest rates on fixed income securities of
all maturities rose more than 2.00% for the year ended October 31, 1994.
ANNUAL REVIEW
The Fund's investment process looks at three sources to add value: duration
management, sector allocation, and security selection.
DURATION MANAGEMENT. Morgan correctly forecast a rise in interest rates and
thereby positioned the portfolio defensively with respect to its duration. The
Fund ended the period with a duration of 1.7 years, about 0.2 years shorter than
its benchmark.
SECTOR ALLOCATION. We continued to hold almost half of the Fund in Treasuries,
and the rest in higher-yielding securities such as corporates, mortgages, and
asset-backed securities.
SECURITY SELECTION. The Fund focused on high-quality securities for the period.
Approximately 75% of the Fund's credit quality at the end of the period was AAA.
INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
With 30-year Treasuries close to 8% and medium-term inflation at 4%, we believe
bonds offer reasonable value. However, cyclical pressures and higher inflation
numbers over the next few quarters may move the bond market
We also expect that as the impact of higher short-term rates begins to reduce
the pace of economic growth, corporate bonds may underperform. As such, we
have begun to slightly underweight corporates in favor of relatively
attractive mortgage securities. We continue to maintain a high percentage of
AAA credit quality.
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 FACTS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The JPM Institutional Short Term Bond Fund seeks to provide high total return
while attempting to limit the likelihood of negative quarterly returns. It is
designed for investors who do not require the stable net asset value typical of
a money market fund, but who seek less price fluctuation than is typical of a
long-term bond fund.

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 JPM Institutional Short Term Bond
Fund's inception would have grown to $10,190 at October 31, 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 the 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The JPM Institutional Short Term Bond 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 8,
1993.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The Short Term Bond
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 (89% at October 31, 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 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 $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.
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.
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)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
10
<PAGE>
THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL SHORT TERM BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. The Fund reclassified
$96,200 to accumulated net realized loss on investments from paid-in
capital. Net investment income, net realized loss and net assets were not
affected by this change.
h)For United States Federal income tax purposes the Fund had a capital loss
carryforward at October 31, 1994 of $768,352 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.
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 Funds, 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 October 31, 1994,
Signature's fee for these services amounted to $12,264.
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 October 31, 1994,
Morgan agreed to reimburse the Fund $89,141 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 0.45% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund through October 31, 1994. For the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the
Fund $19,619 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
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the fee for these services amounted to
$19,528.
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 $3,935 for the period January 15, 1994
to October 31, 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, The JPM
Institutional Plus Funds 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.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest of one or more series.
Transactions in shares of beneficial interest of the Fund were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The JPM Institutional Short Term Bond Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
The JPM Institutional Short Term Bond Fund (the "Fund") at October 31, 1994, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net
assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period
July 8, 1993 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund'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 provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Short Term Bond 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 on November 4, 1992. The
Portfolio commenced operations on July 8, 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 acounting policies of the
Portfolio:
a)Portfolio securities with a maturity of 60 days or more, including
securities that are listed on an exchange or traded over the counter, are
valued using prices supplied daily by an independent pricing service or
services that (i) are based on the last sale price on a national
securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the readily
available bid price on such exchange or at the quoted bid price in the
over-the-counter market, if such exchange or market constitutes the
broadest and most representative market for the security and (ii) in other
cases, take into account various factors affecting market value, including
yields and prices of comparable securities, indication as to value from
dealers and general market conditions. If such prices are not supplied by
the Portfolio's independent pricing services, such securities are priced
in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. 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. Treasury
futures transactions during the fiscal year ended October 31, 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 intends to 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 Service Agent, Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
("Morgan"), paid the organization expenses of the Portfolio in the amount
of $5,492. The Portfolio has agreed to reimburse Morgan for these costs
which are being amortized by the Portfolio on a straight-line basis over a
five-year period from the commencement of operations.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a)The Portfolio has an investment advisory agreement with Morgan. Under the
terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at
an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, this fee amounted to $113,379.
b)The Portfolio retains Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature")
to serve as Administrator. 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, Signature's fee for
these services amounted to $3,149.
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, organizational
expenses and brokerage costs, exceed the expense limit of 0.05% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets up to $200 million, and 0.03% of the
net assets thereafter, Morgan will reimburse the Portfolio for the excess
expense amount and receive no fee. Should such expenses
22

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 October 31, 1994, Morgan agreed to
reimburse the Portfolio $22,054.
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 $4,545 for the period January 15,
1994 to October 31, 1994.
e)An aggregate 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 Trustee
fee expense shown in the financial statements represents the Portfolio's
allocated portion of the total fees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Investors of
The Short Term Bond 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 Short Term Bond Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") at October 31, 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 8, 1993 (commencement of operations)
through October 31, 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 October 31, 1994 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL BOND FUND
December 15, 1994
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the Annual Report and performance discussion of The
JPM Institutional Bond Fund for the year ended October 31, 1994.
The JPM Institutional Bond Fund seeks to provide a high total return consistent
with moderate risk of capital and maintenance of liquidity. It is designed for
investors who seek a total return over time that is higher than that generally
available from a portfolio of short-term obligations, while recognizing the
greater price fluctuation of longer-term instruments.
During the Fund's fiscal year, The JPM Institutional Bond Fund performed in line
with its benchmark, but the rising interest rate environment caused overall
negative bond market returns. For the 12 months ended October 31, 1994, the
Fund's return was -3.33%, compared with a -3.59% return for its benchmark, the
Salomon Brothers Broad Investment Grade Bond Index. The Fund's net asset value
also declined from $10.14 to end at $9.23 per share after paying dividends and
distributions totaling $0.58 per share. In addition, the Fund's net assets grew
to $253.2 million at the end of the reporting period from $43.7 million in
October 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 four additional rate
hikes by the end of October.
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, interest rates on fixed income
securities of all maturities rose more than 2.00% for the year ended October 31,
1994.

ANNUAL REVIEW
The Fund's investment process looks at three sources to add value: duration
management, sector allocation, and security selection.
DURATION MANAGEMENT. We correctly forecast the rise in interest rates during
the year and thereby positioned the portfolio defensively with respect to its
duration (the Fund's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates). The Fund
ended the period with a duration of 4.4 years, about half a year shorter than
its benchmark.
SECTOR ALLOCATION. The Fund was invested selectively in all three major segments
of the bond market: governments, corporates, and mortgages. At the end of
October 1994, the majority of Fund assets were in U.S. Treasuries (42.3%) and
corporate bonds (30.3%).
SECURITY SELECTION. The Fund focused on high-quality securities during the
period. On October 31, 1994, the Fund had approximately 60% in AAA credit
quality.
INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
With 30-year U.S. Treasury rates close to 8% and medium-term inflation at 4%, we
believe bonds offer reasonable value. However, cyclical pressures and higher
inflation numbers over the next few quarters may move the bond market lower
before recovering. Thus, we are maintaining a slightly defensive duration
position.
We also expect that as the impact of higher short-term rates begins to
reduce the pace of economic growth, corporate bonds may underperform. As such,
we have begun to slightly underweight corporates in favor of relatively
attractive mortgage securities. We have continued to maintain AAA credit
quality and our yield advantage relative to the broad market.
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 the inception of The JPM Institutional Bond
Fund's predecessor would have grown to $16,315 at October 31, 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 the 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.

THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The JPM Institutional Bond 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 12, 1993.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The U.S. Fixed Income
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 (69% at October 31, 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 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 $49,295. 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.
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.
f)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
reclassified to paid-in capital. The Fund reclassified $109,165 to
accumulated net realized loss on investments from paid-in capital. Net
investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by
this change.
g)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.

carryforward at October 31, 1994 of $4,333,572 which will expire in the
year 2002. No capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to

carryforward.
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 fiscal year ended October 31, 1994,
Signature's fee for these services amounted to $36,809.
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 October 31, 1994,
Morgan agreed to reimburse the Fund $141,179 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 0.50% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund through October 31, 1995. For the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the
Fund $99,513 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
fiscal year ended August 31, 1994, the fee for these services amounted to
$63,383.
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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The JPM Institutional Bond Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
The JPM Institutional Bond Fund (the "Fund") at October 31, 1994, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and
the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period July 12,
1993 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund'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 provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The U.S. Fixed Income 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 on November 4, 1992. The Portfolio
commenced operations on July 12, 1993 and received a contribution of certain
assets and liabilities, including securities, with a value of $91,653,371 on
that date from The Pierpont Bond Fund in exchange for a beneficial interest
in the Portfolio. At that date, net unrealized appreciation of $1,731,405
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)Portfolio securities with a maturity of 60 days or more, including
securities that are listed on an exchange or traded over the counter, are
valued using prices supplied daily by an independent pricing service or
services that (i) are based on the last sale price on a national
securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the readily
available bid price on such exchange or at the quoted bid price in the
over-the-counter market, if such exchange or market constitutes the
broadest and most representative market for the security and (ii) in other
cases, take into account various factors affecting market value, including
yields and prices of comparable securities, indication as to value from
dealers and general market conditions. If such prices are not supplied by
the Portfolio's independent pricing services, such securities are priced
in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. All portfolio
securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued by
the amortized cost method.
b)Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. 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 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.
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 0.30%
of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1994, this fee amounted to $699,081.

THE U.S. FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Portfolios 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 fiscal year ended October
31, 1994, Signatures fee for these services amounted to $16,107.
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 fiscal year ended October
31, 1994, this fee amounted to $140,493.
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 are the sole shareholders of Group.
The Portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its
services amounted to $23,028 for the period January 15, 1994 to October
31, 1994.
e)An aggregate 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Investors of
The U.S. Fixed Income 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 U.S. Fixed Income Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") at October 31, 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 October 31, 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 October 31, 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 INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
December 15, 1994
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the Annual Report and performance discussion for The
JPM Institutional International Equity Fund for the year ended October 31, 1994.
The Fund, which seeks to provide a high total return, invests in equity
securities of foreign corporations. It is designed for investors with a
long-term investment horizon who want to diversify their portfolios by adding
international equities to take advantage of investment opportunities outside of
the United States.
During the year, The JPM Institutional International Equity Fund underperformed
its benchmark but produced positive returns in a weak market. For the 12 months
ended October 31, 1994, the Fund had a total return of 6.18%. The Fund's net
asset value rose from $10.20 to end the period at $10.83 per share. In addition,
the Fund's net assets grew to $213.1 million at the end of the period.
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
After a strong standing in 1993, worldwide stock and bond markets were weak
throughout much of the year. Despite a brief summer rally overseas, most markets
were affected by the U.S. Federal Reserve's tightening of monetary policy to
control inflation. The resulting decline in U.S. bonds was soon mirrored in the
international fixed income markets and most equity markets as well.
While many equity markets struggled, Japanese stocks gained over 15% during the
first half of the year. Japan's stock market was bolstered by improving economic
data and a pick-up in corporate profitability. This good news was sufficient to
overcome both the weak bond market and fears that the strong yen would hinder
their economic recovery. In the third quarter, however, Japanese stocks suffered
from a heavy burden of new issues and privatizations.
European stock markets experienced a difficult period not only from the U.S.
rate increases but as a result of other factors as well. For example, during the
second quarter, the U.K.'s stock market was hurt by the weakened position of the
Conservative government and the prospect of rising inflation. In France, stocks
were particularly weak--due largely to investor concerns over the government's
economic policy and a heavy supply of newly privatized companies.

ANNUAL REVIEW
The Fund's investment process looks at three sources of value--country
allocation, stock selection, and currency management, thus diversifying the
sources of potential added return.
COUNTRY ALLOCATION. During the period, the Fund's country allocation held back
results slightly. The Fund was underweighted in Europe, which generally proved
beneficial. However, the Fund's 11% allocation in French stocks, which were down
for the year, caused a drag on returns. Despite slightly negative returns for
the U.K. market during 1994, it did not decline as much as other European
markets. As a result, the Fund's underweighting in the U.K. detracted from
performance.
The Fund was overweighted in Japan for most of the period, which had a neutral
effect on overall returns.
STOCK SELECTION. Stock selection was a positive influence on the Fund during its
fiscal year. During this time, the Fund's holdings in Japan, Australia, New
Zealand, Singapore, and Malaysia performed especially well.
CURRENCY MANAGEMENT. During the period, hedges into the U.S. dollar were in
place to protect against an anticipated fall in the value of foreign currencies.
As the yen gained strength against the dollar, the Fund's currency management
strategy detracted from performance.
INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
As the new year approaches, we remain optimistic about non-U.S. equities, which
appear to offer slightly better value than those in the U.S. Given improving
corporate profits in both Japan and Europe, we expect any rally in the bond
markets to lead to a recovery in stock prices. French stocks have performed
poorly and thus represent good value, so the Fund remains overweighted in this
market. In currency, we believe the U.S. Dollar is undervalued, particularly
against the yen.
To identify attractively priced stocks of established companies with superior
growth potential, Morgan's experienced research professionals will continue to
perform fundamental proprietary company research. While the level of investment
in any one country may change to take advantage of favorable trends, we will
continue to maintain a well-diversified portfolio in an effort to reduce risk
and enhance growth potential.
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 The JPM Institutional Equity Fund's
inception would have grown to $12,242 at October 31, 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 the 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.

but only to other collective investment vehicles such as the Fund. The
Portfolio invests in foreign securities which are subject to special risks;
prospective investors should refer to the Fund's Prospectus for a discussion of
these risks. Consistent with applicable regulatory guidance, performance for
the period prior to The JPM Institutional International Equity Fund's inception
reflects the performance of The Pierpont International Equity Fund, the
predecessor entity to The Non-U.S. Equity Portfolio, which had a substantially
similar investment objective and restrictions as the Portfolio. The performance
for this prior period reflects deduction of the charges and expenses of The
Pierpont International Equity Fund, which were higher than the estimated charges
and expenses for the JPM Institutional International Equity Fund, after waiver.

THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The JPM Institutional International 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
October 4, 1993.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The Non-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 (50.3% at October 31, 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)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.
d)The Fund incurred organization expenses in the amount of $54,625. 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.
e)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.
f)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
reclassified to paid-in capital. The Fund decreased accumulated net
realized gain on investment and foreign currency transactions by $178,375,
increased undistributed net
10
<PAGE>
THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
investment income by $105,562 and increased paid-in capital by $72,813.
The adjustments are attributable to foreign exchange and net operating
losses. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not
affected by this change.
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 fiscal year ended October 31, 1994,
Signature's fee for these services amounted to $37,065.
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 October 31, 1994,
Morgan agreed to reimburse the Fund $118,900 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 1.00% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund through March 31, 1995. For the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the
Fund $81,764 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
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the fee for these services amounted to
$63,751.
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
11

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
$13,902 for the period January 15, 1994 to October 31, 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, 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.
3. TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue unlimited full and
fractional shares of beneficial interest ($0.001 par value) of one or more
series. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest of the Fund were as

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The JPM Institutional International Equity Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
The JPM Institutional International Equity Fund (the "Fund") at October 31,
1994, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in
its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the
period October 4, 1993 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund'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 provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1994

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Non-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 October 4, 1993 and received a contribution of certain assets
and liabilities, including securities, with a value of $160,213,973 on that
date from The Pierpont International Equity Fund, Inc. in exchange for a
beneficial interest in the Portfolio. At that date, net unrealized
appreciation of $11,116,204 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 securities with a remaining
maturity of less than 60 days are valued by the amortized cost method.
Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter
markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and
may also take place on days on which the domestic market is closed. If
events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between
the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time
when the Portfolio's net asset value is calculated, such securities will
be valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and
under the general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees.
b)The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The
market values of investment securities, other assets and liabilities and
forward contracts stated in foreign currencies are translated at the
prevailing exchange rates at the end of the period. Purchases, sales,
income and expense are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions. Translation gains and losses
resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period
and gains and losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency
transactions are reported in the Statement of Operations.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the net assets of the Portfolio are presented at the exchange rates
and market values prevailing at the end of the period, the Portfolio does
not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result
of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from
changes in the market prices of securities during the period.
c)The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to protect
securities and related receivables and payables against fluctuations in
future foreign currency rates. A forward contract is an agreement to buy
or sell currencies of different countries on a specified future date at a
specified rate. Risks associated with such contracts include the movement
in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the
ability of the counterparty to perform.
The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency
exchange rates. Contracts are valued daily based on procedures established
by and under the general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees and the
change in the market value is recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized
appreciation or depreciation of foreign currency translations. At October
31, 1994 the Portfolio had open forward foreign currency contracts as
follows:

------------
Net Unrealized Depreciation on Foreign Currency Contracts $(2,668,575)
------------
</TABLE>
d)Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or at 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.
e)The Portfolio intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxable on
its share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains and losses.
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 Portfolio earns foreign
income which may be subject to foreign withholding taxes at various rates.
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 year ended October
31, 1994 such fees amounted to $1,911,202.
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
29

THE NON-U.S. EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 year ended
October 31, 1994 such expenses amounted to $22,024.
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 0.15% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets up to $200 million, 0.10% on the next $200 million of average
daily net assets, 0.05% of the next $200 million of average daily assets
and 0.03% of 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
Agreements. For the year ended October 31, 1994, Morgan's fee amounted to
$327,569.
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 $32,512 for the period January 15,
1994 to October 31, 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.
3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The Non-U.S. Equity 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 Non-U.S. Equity Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") at October 31, 1994, the results of its operations for the year
then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the supplementary data for the
year then ended and for the period October 4, 1993 (commencement of operations)
to October 31, 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 October 31, 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 EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY
FUND
December 15, 1994
Dear shareholder:
We are pleased to present the first Annual Report for The JPM Institutional
Emerging Markets Equity Fund, which covers the period from its inception on
November 15, 1993, to October 31, 1994.
The Fund is designed for long-term investors who want to diversify by investing
in the rapidly growing emerging markets. The Fund generally invests in a
portfolio of securities of companies primarily located in the non-industrialized
nations in Asia, Latin America, Southern and Eastern Europe, and Africa.
During the Fund's fiscal year, The JPM Institutional Emerging Markets Equity
Fund slightly outperformed its benchmark, the IFC Investable Index. From its
inception through October 31, 1994, the Fund had a total return of 24.70%,
compared with 19.91% for the IFC Investable Index*, an emerging market index
designed as a benchmark for international funds. Over the same time, the Fund's
net asset value rose from $10.00 to $12.47 per share. In addition, the Fund's
net assets grew to $146.7 million by the end of October.
MARKET REVIEW
Emerging markets as a whole were mixed for the period. After posting exceptional
returns at the end of 1993, the first half of 1994 was generally disappointing.
Most market returns then rebounded in the third quarter of 1994, offsetting some
of the year's losses. Led by Brazil, the Latin American market, which was up
46%, was the best-performing region for the year ended October 31, 1994. During
this time, emerging Asian and European markets returned 39% and -11%,
respectively.
Politics played a big role in the Latin American markets. In Brazil, the victory
of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, the favored candidate, caused optimism that fiscal
reforms designed to lower inflation and stimulate growth would continue. After a
great deal of political uncertainty and two political assassinations in Mexico,
a pre-election market rally bolstered stock market performance. Later in the
year, however, U.S. interest rate increases appeared to dampen some of the
returns in these markets.

Most emerging European markets had positive returns during the period. Turkey
was the exception with its market down as much as 55% while it remained in
fiscal crisis in the first quarter of 1994. Turkey later rebounded somewhat as
its economy began to recover--but not enough to produce positive returns for the
year. In contrast, Portugal rose 22%, as its lower costs attracted more
industrial production from Europe. In addition, Portugal managed to lower
interest rates while avoiding a run on its currency, the Escudo. New investments
also kept flowing into the Czech Republic and Hungary, where prices rose.
In Asia, the weakness of the U.S. dollar against the yen and the strong U.S
economy were generally positive for the region. Returns in Malaysia were flat
until investment conditions (i.e., low interest rates and attractive
price/earnings ratios) became favorable in the third quarter. Thailand
underperformed for part of the period but managed to rise 29% for the year ended
October 31, 1994.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund's investment process seeks to add value in two different ways. The
first step is country allocation where the objective is to select undervalued
markets. The Fund allocates among countries by overweighting (or underweighting)
those countries that we believe to be the most attractive (or unattractive)
relative to the benchmark. The second major decision is stock selection, which
is expected to contribute the majority of excess return. Using our in-house
proprietary research and information from on-site visits, we select "blue-chip"
companies in each market based on our confidence in management, expectation of
strong earnings, and adequate liquidity.
COUNTRY ALLOCATION. Malaysia remained underweighted relative to its benchmark
allocation. Malaysia performed well for the period, but with high market
valuations and interest rates at their lowest levels since 1989, there does not
appear to be much room for additional stock market performance.
The Fund's overweighting in Portugal proved beneficial as it outperformed most
European markets. However, our general overweighting in Europe for the period
dampened returns.
In Latin America, we underweighted Mexico and Brazil. While these markets had
positive returns, post-election concerns may cause the markets to fluctuate
dramatically.
A small position in South Africa was initiated during the period, which we plan
to increase as political conditions improve. Finally, the Fund's cash position,
which hurt returns when the markets were up, provided a defensive cushion when
the markets declined in the first part of 1994.
STOCK SELECTION. Our stock selection was generally neutral for the Fund's
fiscal year. In Brazil and Turkey our stock selection was particularly
successful. While the Turkish market was volatile during the period, the Fund's
purchases in this country paid early dividends as the market bottomed in June.
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
Going forward, we expect Latin American returns to be disappointing as the
performance of newly elected politicians is measured against their campaign
promises. U.S. interest rates can also be expected to play a determining role in
the future performance of neighboring southern markets.
Viewed overall, Asian markets are on a better economic footing than their
Latin American counterparts, although their valuations are not quite as
attractive. In contrast, small European markets now appear to be undervalued.
In light of these expectations, we are currently overweighted, or expect to be
overweighted, in the following markets: Thailand, Indonesia, Hungary, Portugal,
Turkey, Greece, Peru, China, and Korea.
To identify attractively priced stocks of established companies with superior
growth potential, Morgan's experienced research professionals will continue to
perform fundamental proprietary company research. While the level of investment
in some countries may change to take advantage of favorable trends, we will
continue to maintain a well-diversified portfolio in an effort to reduce risk
and enhance growth potential.

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 JPM Institutional Emerging Markets
Equity Fund's inception would have grown to $12,470 at October 31, 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 the 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The JPM Institutional Emerging Markets 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 November 15,
1993.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The Emerging Markets 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 (26.6% at October 31, 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)Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized
capital gain, if any, are declared and paid annually.
d)The Fund incurred organization expenses in the amount of $49,154. 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.
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.
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)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
10
<PAGE>
THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. The Fund increased
accumulated net realized gain on investments by $240,160, decreased
undistributed net investment income by $34,618 and decreased paid-in
capital by $205,542. The adjustments are attributable to foreign exchange
losses. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not
affected by this change.
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 period November 15, 1993 (commencement of operations) through
October 31, 1994, Signature's fee for these services amounted to $22,572.
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 cap 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 period November 15, 1993
(commencement of operations) through October 31, 1994, Morgan agreed to
reimburse the Fund $120,061 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
daily operating expenses of the Fund, including the expenses allocated to
the Fund from the Portfolio, at no more than 1.60% of the average daily
net assets of the Fund through October 31, 1994. For the period November
15, 1993 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 1994, Morgan has
agreed to reimburse the Fund $6,783 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
period November 15, 1993 (commencement of operations) through October 31,
1994, the fee for these services amounted to $39,124.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 are the sole shareholders
of Group. The Fund's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its
services amounted to $8,326 for the period January 15, 1994 to October 31,
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'
Fee and Expenses shown in the financial statements represents the Fund's
allocated portion of the total fees and expenses.
3. TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest of one or more series.
Transactions in shares of beneficial interest of the Fund were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The JPM Institutional Emerging Markets Equity Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
The JPM Institutional Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the "Fund") at October 31,
1994, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the
financial highlights for the period November 15, 1993 (commencement of
operations) through October 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Emerging Markets 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 November 15, 1993 and received a contribution of certain assets
and liabilities, including securities, with a value of $223,722,513 on that date
from the JPM Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Ltd. in exchange for a beneficial
interest in the Portfolio. 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 may 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,
operating data and general market conditions. All portfolio securities
with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued by the amortized
cost method.
Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter
markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and
may also take place on days on which the domestic market is closed. If
events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between
the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time
when the Portfolio's net assets are calculated, such securities will be
valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and
under the general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees.
b)The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The
market values of investment securities, other assets and liabilities and
foreign currency contracts are translated at the prevailing exchange rates
at the end of the period. Purchases, sales, income and expense are
translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions. Translation gains and losses resulting from changes in
foreign exchange rates during the reporting period and gains and losses
realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in
the Statement of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
OCTOBER 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the net assets of the Portfolio are presented at the exchange rates
and market values prevailing at the end of the period, the Portfolio does
not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result
of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from
changes in the market prices of securities.
c)Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or at 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.
d)The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency contracts to settle foreign
currency denominated transactions. A foreign currency contract is an
agreement to buy or sell currencies of different countries on a specified
future date at a specified rate. Risks associated with such contracts
include the movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the
U.S. Dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. The market
value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange
rates. Contracts are valued daily based on prevailing currency exchange
rates. The change in the market value is recorded by the Portfolio as
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of foreign currency translations.
At October 31, 1994 the Portfolio had open spot foreign currency contracts
as follows:

e)The Portfolio intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxable 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.
f)The Portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $7,629.
These costs were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over a five year period from the commencement of operations.
g)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
28
<PAGE>
THE EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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 1.00% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the
period November 15, 1993 to October 31, 1994, such fees amounted to
$4,122,465.
b)The Portfolio has retained 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 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
period November 15, 1993 to October 31, 1994, such expenses amounted to
$30,828.
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 assisting in 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, brokerage costs,
and the amortization of organization expenses exceed the expense limit of
0.15% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets up to $200 million,
0.10% of the next $200 million of average daily net assets, 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 Agreements. For
the period November 15, 1993 to October 31, 1994, this fee amounted to
$347,925.
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 outstanding
shareholders of Group. The Portfolio's allocated portion of Group's fee
for its reasonable costs in performing its services amounted to $42,764
for the period January 15, 1994 to October 31, 1994.

a Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, the JPM Institutional Funds, the JPM
Institutional Plus Fund and their corresponding Portfolios, in the

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Investors of
The Emerging Markets Equity 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 Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") at October 31, 1994, and the results of its operations, the changes
in its net assets and its supplementary data for the period November 15, 1993
(commencement of operations) through October 31, 1994, 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 audit. We conducted our
audit 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
audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 1994 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative
auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provides
a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
