LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND

June 14, 1996

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to report that, following a Fund fiscal year of lackluster
performance by non-U.S. equity markets, The JPM Institutional International
Equity Fund recorded a 13.82% gain for the six-month period ended April 30,
1996. We believe that country allocation, stock selection, and currency
management decisions enabled the Fund to slightly outperform its benchmark, the
MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 13.21% for the period. We also believe that
active management enabled the Fund to significantly outperform its competitors,
as measured by The Morningstar Foreign Stock Funds Average and The Lipper
International Fund Average, which returned 12.61% and 11.95%, respectively.

We are also pleased to announce that we have made some enhancements to the
Fund's semi-annual report as part of our ongoing dedication to provide better
service to our shareholders. In addition to making Fund performance easier to
locate, we have added a portfolio manager Q&A with Paul A. Quinsee, a member of
our international portfolio management team. This interview is designed to
answer commonly asked questions about the Fund, elaborate on what happened
during the reporting period, and provide our outlook for the months ahead.

As always, we welcome your comments, questions, or any suggestions on how we can
further improve your financial reports. Please call J.P. Morgan Funds Services,
toll free, at (800) 766-7722.

Sincerely yours,

/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 a fund's value over various time periods, typically 1, 5, or 10
years (or since inception). Total returns for periods of less than one year are
not annualized and provide a picture of how a fund has performed over the short
term.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A

[PHOTO]   Following is an interview with PAUL A. QUINSEE, who is a member of 
          the portfolio management team for The Non-U.S. Equity Portfolio in 
          which the Fund invests. Paul joined Morgan in 1992 as an 
          international equity portfolio manager. Previously, he worked for 
          five years as an equity portfolio manager with Citibank and for two 
          years with Schroder Capital Management in London. This interview 
          was conducted on June 10, 1996 and reflects Paul's views on that 
          date.

THE POSITIVE TURNAROUND FOR INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKETS THAT WE FORECASTED IN
THE OCTOBER 31, 1995 ANNUAL REPORT HAS NOW COME TO PASS. WHAT FACTORS DO YOU
FEEL CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ABOUT-FACE IN THE MARKETS AND WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT VIEW
ON VALUATIONS?

PAQ:  We believe that several factors were at work. The first of these was that,
while there was no decline in interest rates in the U.S., interest rates have
stayed very low in Japan and continued to edge down in Europe as European
central banks have looked to offset the economic weakness there. So, falling
interest rates have definitely helped the international markets.

  Another aspect that has helped has been increasing signs of an economic
recovery in Japan, which has helped that market to recover from the very sharp
losses suffered in the first half of 1995. A combination of very low interest
rates and an expansionary fiscal policy have now got the Japanese economy
growing at the fastest rate seen in the last five years -- and that of course
has helped sentiment toward the Japanese equity market.

  The third aspect that we believe should be mentioned is a more favorable
currency environment for international companies. Particularly key in this
regard has been the weakness of the yen against the U.S. dollar and the weakness
of the deutsche mark against its neighboring currencies in Europe, such as the
Italian lira, the British pound sterling, and the Swedish krona. Those are all
good for companies based in Japan and Germany that are exporting. So a backup in
currencies has helped international markets in local currency terms, although
that has slightly been offset by currency losses for a U.S. dollar-referenced
investor.

  Turning to your question about valuations, after the gains we have seen over
the last few quarters, international markets are not as obviously cheap as they
were. This is particularly true in the case of Japan which has now advanced by
more than 60% from the lows it reached in the middle of 1995 when the outlook
appeared very bleak indeed. However, we do feel that Japan and particularly the
European markets offer better value at this point than the U.S. We are also
convinced that, given its focus on stock selection, Morgan's active management
is likely to help the Portfolio to grow as markets reach reasonable valuations.


                                                                            3


<PAGE>

WHILE WE CERTAINLY WELCOME GOOD NEWS FOR THE MARKET, WE'RE EVEN MORE PLEASED TO
NOTICE THAT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PORTFOLIO HAS BEEN AHEAD OF THE MSCI EAFE
INDEX FOR THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW. DO YOU INTERPRET THIS AS A SIGN THAT OUR
LONG-TERM INVESTMENT APPROACH, WHICH ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY STOCKS' FUNDAMENTAL
VALUE, IS BEGINNING TO REAP THE REWARDS WE HAD EXPECTED?

PAQ:  Perhaps the best indication of that being true will emerge if we look at
currency management which, along with country allocation and stock selection, is
one of the three investment decisions made in the Portfolio.

  For a long time, we found that the yen was overvalued. As the Japanese economy
got weaker, the Japanese current account surplus grew, so the yen became more
and more overvalued, and that decision went against us for some time.
Nevertheless, we were convinced that in terms of fundamentals it was indeed
overpriced and that we were positioned the right way. When, in an unpredictable
way, the Bank of Japan cut interest rates in the middle of last year, the yen
suddenly began to weaken. It was possible to identify that the yen was
overvalued -- calling the timing would have been difficult, but backing value
worked. The yen has since declined by more than 30% against the U.S. dollar, and
that of course has helped the Portfolio's relative performance as we have had a
below-normal weighting in the Japanese currency.

YOU DECIDED TO STRUCTURE THE PORTFOLIO FOR THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW BY BEING
OVERWEIGHTED IN JAPAN, GERMANY, AND FRANCE, WHILE UNDERWEIGHTING HONG KONG,
SINGAPORE, AND MALAYSIA. HOW "ON TARGET" WERE THESE AND OTHER COUNTRY ALLOCATION
DECISIONS, AND HOW MUCH OF THE PORTFOLIO'S RELATIVE OUTPERFORMANCE DERIVED FROM
ITS STOCK SELECTION DECISIONS?

PAQ:  As I've just discussed, currency management was the major positive
contributor to the Portfolio's overall returns versus the benchmark for the
period. On the country allocation side, results have been closer to the
benchmark recently and proved to be a neutral influence on the Portfolio's
overall results. Our overweighted position in Japan helped during the later part
of last year, although Japanese stocks, while they continued to recover in 1996,
have not particularly outpaced other markets. The emphasis on Germany and France
has been helpful this year as the French and German markets have performed very
well and overweighting them has positively contributed to overall results
relative to the benchmark. On the other hand, underweighting some of the smaller
Asian markets has not been so successful. This has been particularly true of
Malaysia, which we think is fundamentally overpriced and vulnerable to the
overheating of the local economy, but the stock market has been driven higher by
a new round of speculation. For these reasons, our decision to have the
Portfolio underweighted in Malaysia has not been particularly helpful.

  Stock selection has been working well for the Portfolio recently. We have had
a good year in stock selection within the Japanese market after a more difficult
time in 1995. As the Japanese economy has been recovering and trading volume has
picked up in the equity market, our value-based trading strategy has been adding
value again as we would normally expect. Thus far, 1996 has been another good
year in stock selection in virtually all the major European markets.

<PAGE>



WITH INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKETS NOW FAIRLY PRICED IN YOUR VIEW, WHAT IS YOUR
PLANNED RELATIVE WEIGHTING OF JAPAN, WHICH HAS THE HEAVIEST WEIGHTING IN THE
MSCI EAFE INDEX?

PAQ:  We've cut back positions in Japan from an overweighting at the beginning
of the year down to a marginally below normal weighting now. We don't think that
the Japanese market is particularly at risk over the near term, but we do think
that the gains we've seen since the middle of last year reflect the potential
for a corporate earnings recovery. Given that forecast, we have reduced Japanese
holdings and reallocated the funds that we have taken out of Japan to the major
European markets that we think offer better value and a better chance of
earnings surprises. If the Japanese market continues to rally and if, in
particular, domestic investors come back to the market and drive prices much
higher, then we would expect to further reduce the Portfolio's weighting of
Japan to significantly below normal.

TURNING TO EUROPE, THE PORTFOLIO'S MOST AGGRESSIVE INVESTMENT PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN
IN FRANCE AND GERMANY. WHAT IS YOUR FORECAST AND STRATEGY FOR THESE MARKETS IN
THE MONTHS AHEAD?

PAQ:  While earnings in some of the markets on the periphery of Europe have
actually recovered very well over the past three years, companies in France and
Germany have had to contend with a high level of real interest rates, overvalued
currencies, and very sluggish domestic economies. It's also a typical sort of
situation in which value is created. In fact, we believe that comparing current
prices of companies in both these markets with forecasts of their long-run flow
of profits and dividends will help to demonstrate that France and Germany now
rank among the most attractive markets in the international field.

  We're also encouraged that, apart from value, the companies are showing
increasing signs of moving to restructure their businesses -- a strategy which
has clearly produced substantial long-term rewards for U.S. corporations. There
have been a whole string of announcements this year concerning mergers,
acquisitions, disposals, introductory public offerings, cost-cutting programs,
etc. With regard to signs of a greater realization that shareholders matter as
well, there have been stock buybacks, dividends rising faster than earnings,
along with signs of a greater focus on realizing some value for the
shareholders, and all of that of course is encouraging. So we look to see where
there's value in these markets and we think that the sort of restructuring
programs that are in place will restore profits to levels that we are expecting
and, on that basis, in a world where most equity markets look pretty fully
valued, these Core European markets seem attractively valued. We therefore plan
to have the Portfolio continue to be overweighted in both France and Germany.

YOUR UNDERWEIGHTED STRATEGY FOR ITALY AND THE U.K. YIELDED POSITIVE RESULTS FOR
THE PORTFOLIO DURING THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW. WHAT EFFECT ARE RESULTS IN RECENT
AND UPCOMING ELECTIONS IN THESE COUNTRIES LIKELY TO HAVE ON THE PORTFOLIO'S
INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

PAQ:  While earnings have been very depressed in the Core European markets
(creating a situation in which stocks have been somewhat undervalued), U.K.
corporate profits have done extremely well over the last four to five years,
helped by a reasonably buoyant domestic economy and by sterling's sharp decline



                                                                            5

against other European currencies in 1992. At the same time, there's been
something of a boom in corporate activity in the U.K. that started earlier than
it did in continental Europe and which has now reached unsustainable levels, in
our view. Given that we didn't see much chance of profits surprising on the
upside, that we were concerned about the durability of the mergers and
acquisitions boom in the U.K., and of course the uncertainty regarding the
upcoming elections in which the ruling Conservative Party, which has been in
power since 1979, is probably going to lose control, we've been somewhat
cautious in the U.K. market. The market has underperformed so far this year.
U.K. stocks are virtually where they were at the beginning of 1996, compared to
gains of 15% to 20% in many of the Continental markets, and that has created
some value. U.K. stocks are a much better value at this point, and we have begun
to add back to positions that are still somewhat lower than normal.

  Meanwhile, the case of Italy is quite interesting. Italian stocks also
performed very badly in the first part of the year, when we began to add a
little bit to the Portfolio's allocation. Then the election results at the
beginning of April produced a surprise victory for the so-called "Olive Tree
Coalition," and we've increased the Portfolio's level of investment on signs
that stronger government would reward the country with lower bond yields, a
stronger currency, and a stronger equity market. We're still a bit skeptical
about the value of many Italian companies that have relatively poor track
records in terms of providing profits and dividends, and we don't see so many of
the signs evident, for example, in France and Germany that anything much is
being done about this. The Portfolio is less aggressively underweighted in Italy
than it was because the values are better.

HEDGING OUT OF THE YEN AND EUROPEAN CURRENCIES INTO THE U.S. DOLLAR ALSO ADDED
VALUE FOR THE PERIOD. DO YOU PLAN TO MAINTAIN THIS STRATEGY GOING FORWARD AND,
IF NOT, WHAT EXPECTED RELATIVE CURRENCY STRENGTHENINGS WILL DETERMINE FUTURE
PORTFOLIO HEDGES?

PAQ:  The yen has fallen by a long way against the U.S. dollar, but it was
extraordinarily overvalued to start with. At this point, we still feel that the
yen is somewhat overpriced as interest rates in Japan are likely to remain very
low for a while, given that the authorities are going to make absolutely sure
that economic recovery really has taken hold before taking interest rates back
up to a more normal level. We would imagine that the yen will stay as one of the
weaker currencies for the time being. While we will have less aggressive hedging
at this level, a portion of the Portfolio's yen exposure is still hedged back
into the U.S. dollar.

  Meanwhile, we've more recently begun to hedge a portion of the Portfolio's
European currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, also based on some
overvaluation, in particular the deutsche mark and the Swiss franc, but also
based on our view that European interest rates would tend to move down while
U.S. interest rates, if anything, would be tending to rise higher, particularly
at the longer end of the curve this year as the U.S. economy strengthens while
economies in Europe remain weak. So we have some hedges out of the European
currencies into the U.S. dollar as well. If, however, the U.S. dollar continues
to rally, then we'll be getting back to fair value against the yen fairly
quickly and then we'll be less aggressive with our hedging.

<PAGE>


WHILE THE PORTFOLIO'S DIVERSIFICATION OF INVESTMENT DECISIONS HAS BEEN DESIGNED
TO ENHANCE OVERALL LONG-TERM RETURNS, STOCK SELECTION BASED ON MORGAN'S IN-DEPTH
PROPRIETARY RESEARCH IS ARGUABLY THE PORTFOLIO'S GREATEST POTENTIAL SOURCE OF
ADDED VALUE. IN YOUR VIEW, WHERE DO YOU SEE PARTICULAR OPPORTUNITIES TO CONTINUE
ENHANCING VALUE FROM STOCK SELECTION?

PAQ:  Stock selection has been the area in which we've been able to most
consistently add value for a long time, and this year so far has been no
different. We're very happy about the return to form of our stock pickers in
Japan, who had to contend with a very difficult market environment in 1995, and
we're still optimistic about that going forward. There's still an unusually wide
spread between the stocks our analysts find undervalued and the market as a
whole. We can be reasonably optimistic about Japanese stock picking. As the
Japanese economy and the corporate sectors recover, then we expect that our
value strategy will work well there.

  In Europe, too, we had an excellent year in stock picking during 1995 that has
continued into 1996. We have a very good team of analysts in our London office
covering European companies, and with all the restructuring going on in Europe
there will be lots of opportunities to differentiate between those companies
that are leading in the process and creating interesting situations for their
shareholders and those that are not. For example, HOECHST was much quicker to
implement a program of cost-cutting than the two other large German chemical
companies and focused more aggressively on realizing value through sales or IPOs
of unrelated businesses. By recognizing this, we were able to participate in the
stock's dramatic rise over the past eighteen months. So in both Japan and Europe
we continue to see opportunities to add value through individual security
selection.



                                                                            7

THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
APRIL 30, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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  (77%  at April  30,  1996). 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 preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles requires management  to make estimates and  assumptions
   that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ
   from  those  estimates.  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 gains, if any, are declared and paid annually.
 
    d)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.
 
    e)The Fund incurred organization  expenses in the  amount of $54,625.  These
      costs  were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
      a five-year period from the commencement of operations.
 
    f)Expenses incurred by the Trust  with respect to any  two or more funds  in
      the  Trust are allocated in  proportion to the net  assets of each fund in
      the Trust, except where  allocations of direct expenses  to each fund  can
      otherwise  be made  fairly. Expenses directly  attributable to  a fund are
      charged to that fund.

2.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    a)The  Trust   has   retained   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 provided 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 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 was  applied
      each  day to the net  assets of the Fund. For  the period November 1, 1995
      through December 28, 1995, Signature's fee for these services amounted  to
      $20,097.
 
      Effective December 29, 1995, the Administration Agreement was amended such
      that the fee charged would be equal to the Fund's proportionate share of a
      complex-wide  fee based  on the  following annual  schedule: 0.03%  on the
      first $7  billion  of  the  aggregate average  daily  net  assets  of  the
      Portfolio  and  the other  portfolios (the  "Master Portfolios")  in which
      series of the Trust,  The Pierpont Funds or  The JPM Advisor Funds  invest
      and  0.01%  of  the  aggregate  average daily  net  assets  of  the Master
      Portfolios in excess of $7 billion. The portion of this charge payable  by
      the  Fund is determined by the proportionate  share its net assets bear to
      the total net  assets of the  Trust, The Pierpont  Funds, The JPM  Advisor
      Funds  and the  Master Portfolios. For  the period from  December 29, 1995
      through April 30, 1996, such fees amounted to $26,531.
 
    b)Until August 31, 1995, the Trust, on  behalf of the Fund, had a  Financial
      and  Fund Accounting Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") with Morgan
      Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") under which Morgan  received
      a  fee, based  on the percentage  described below,  for overseeing certain
      aspects of  the administration  and operation  of the  Fund and  was  also
      designed  to provide  an expense limit  for certain expenses  of the Fund.
      This fee was calculated  exclusive of the  shareholder servicing fee,  the
      fund  services fee and amortization of  organization expenses, at 0.05% of
      the Fund's average daily net assets. From September 1, 1995 until December
      28, 1995, an interim agreement between  the Trust, on behalf of the  Fund,
      and  Morgan provided for the continuation  of the oversight functions that
      were outlined under the Services Agreement and that Morgan should bear all
      of its expenses incurred in connection with these services.
 
      Effective December 29,  1995, the Trust,  on behalf of  the Fund,  entered
      into  an Administrative  Services Agreement (the  "Agreement") with Morgan
      under  which   Morgan  is   responsible  for   certain  aspects   of   the
      administration  and operation of  the Fund. Under  the Agreement, the Fund
      has agreed to  pay Morgan a  fee equal  to its proportionate  share of  an
      annual  complex-wide charge. This charge is  calculated daily based on the
      aggregate net  assets of  the  Master Portfolios  in accordance  with  the
      following  annual schedule:  0.06% on the  first $7 billion  of the Master
      Portfolios' aggregate average daily net assets and 0.03% of the  aggregate
      average  daily net  assets in  excess of $7  billion. The  portion of this
      charge payable by the Fund is  determined by the proportionate share  that
      the Fund's net assets bear to
 
                                                                              15

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      the  net assets of the Trust, the Master Portfolios and other investors in
      the Master Portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services. For  the
      period  from December  29, 1995 through  April 30, 1996,  Morgan's fee for
      these services amounted to $50,549.
 
      In addition,  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 February 28,
      1997. For the six months ended April 30, 1996, there was no  reimbursement
      for expenses under this agreement.
 
    c)The  Trust, on behalf  of the Fund, has  a Shareholder Servicing Agreement
      with Morgan. Until December 28, 1995, the Agreement provided for the  Fund
      to  pay Morgan a fee for these  services which was computed daily and paid
      monthly at an annual rate of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of  the
      Fund.  For the period November 1, 1995  through December 28, 1995, the fee
      for these services amounted to $39,152.
 
      Effective December  29,  1995,  the Shareholder  Servicing  Agreement  was
      amended such that the annual rate for providing these services was changed
      to  0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the period from
      December 29,  1995 through  April 30,  1996, the  fee for  these  services
      amounted to $203,568.
 
    d)The  Trust, on  behalf of  the Fund,  has a  Fund Services  Agreement with
      Pierpont Group, Inc. ("Group") to assist the Trustees in exercising  their
      overall supervisory responsibilities for the Trust's affairs. The Trustees
      of  the Trust represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The Fund's
      allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services amounted  to
      $15,681 for the six months ended April 30, 1996.
 
    e)An  aggregate annual fee of $65,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
      a Trustee of the Trust, The Pierpont Funds and the Master Portfolios.  The
      Trustees'  Fees and Expenses shown  in the financial statements represents
      the Fund's allocated portion of the  total fees and expenses. The  Trustee
      who  serves  as Chairman  and Chief  Executive Officer  of the  Trust also
      serves as  Chairman  of  Group  and  received  compensation  and  employee
      benefits from Group in his role as Group's Chairman. The allocated portion
      of such compensation and benefits included in the Funds Services Fee shown
      in the financial statements was $2,000.
 
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:

THE NON-U.S. EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
APRIL 30, 1996

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's investment
    objective is  to provide  a high  total return  from a  portfolio of  equity
    securities  of  foreign  companies. 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.
 
    Investments  in international markets may involve certain considerations and
    risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. Future
    economic and  political developments  in foreign  countries could  adversely
    affect  the liquidity  or value,  or both, of  such securities  in which the
    Portfolio is invested.  The ability of  the issuers of  the debt  securities
    held  by the Portfolio to meet their obligations may be affected by economic
    and political developments in a specific industry or region.
 
    The  preparation  of  financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance   with
    generally   accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make
    estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and  disclosures.
    Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. 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  value 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 expenses are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the
      respective dates  of  such  transactions.  Translation  gains  and  losses
      resulting  from changes in the exchange  rates during the reporting period
      and  gains  and  losses  realized  upon  settlement  of  foreign  currency
      transactions are reported in the Statement of Operations.
 
      Although  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 and spot 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 April
      30, 1996, the Portfolio had open foreign currency contracts as follows:

      income,  which includes the amortization of premiums and discount, 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. 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  six months ended
      April 30, 1996, such fees amounted to $2,275,697.
 
    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 provided 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 each day to the  net assets of the Portfolio. For the
      period November 1, 1995 through December  28, 1995, such fees amounted  to
      $9,619.
 
      Effective December 29, 1995, the Administration Agreement was amended such
      that the fee charged would be equal to the Portfolio's proportionate share
      of a complex-wide fee based on the following annual schedule: 0.03% on the
      first  $7  billion  of  the  aggregate average  daily  net  assets  of the
      Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to this agreement (the  "Master
      Portfolios")  and 0.01% on  the aggregate average daily  net assets of the
      Master Portfolios in  excess of  $7 billion.  The portion  of this  charge
      payable  by the Portfolio is determined by the proportionate share its net
      assets bear  to  the total  net  assets of  The  Pierpont Funds,  The  JPM
      Institutional  Funds, The JPM Advisor Funds and the Master Portfolios. For
      the period  from December  29,  1995 through  April  30, 1996,  such  fees
      amounted to $32,044.
 
    c)Until  August 31, 1995, the Portfolio  had a Financial and Fund Accounting
      Services Agreement ("Services Agreement")  with Morgan under which  Morgan
      received  a fee, based  on the percentage  described below, for overseeing
      certain aspects of the administration  and operation of the Portfolio  and
      was  also designed to provide an expense limit for certain expenses of the
      Portfolio. This fee was calculated exclusive of the advisory fee,  custody
      expenses,  fund  services  fee,  and  brokerage  costs  at  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, and 0.05% of the next $200 million of average daily net assets and
      0.03% on  any excess  over  $600 million.  From  September 1,  1995  until
      December  28, 1995, an interim agreement  between the Portfolio and Morgan
      provided for  the  continuation  of  the  oversight  functions  that  were
      outlined  under the Services Agreement and  that Morgan should bear all of
      its expenses incurred in connection with these services.
 
      Effective December 29, 1995, the Portfolio entered into an  Administrative
      Services  Agreement (the  "Agreement") with  Morgan under  which Morgan is
      responsible for  overseeing  certain  aspects of  the  administration  and
      operation  of the Portfolio. Under the Agreement, the Portfolio has agreed
      to pay  Morgan  a  fee equal  to  its  proportionate share  of  an  annual
      complex-wide  charge.  This  charge  is  calculated  daily  based  on  the
      aggregate net  assets of  the  Master Portfolios  in accordance  with  the
      following  annual schedule:  0.06% on the  first $7 billion  of the Master
      Portfolios' aggregate average daily net assets and 0.03% of the  aggregate
      average  daily net  assets in  excess of $7  billion. The  portion of this
      charge payable by the Portfolio  is determined by the proportionate  share
      that  the Portfolio's  net assets  bear to  the net  assets of  the Master
      Portfolios and other investors in  the Master Portfolios for which  Morgan
      provides  similar services. For the period December 29, 1995 through April
      30, 1996, the fee for these services amounted to $67,216.
 
    d)The Portfolio  has a  Fund Services  Agreement with  Pierpont Group,  Inc.
      ("Group")  to assist the Trustees  in exercising their overall supervisory
      responsibilities  for  the  Portfolio's  affairs.  The  Trustees  of   the
      Portfolio   represent  all   the  existing  shareholders   of  Group.  The
      Portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its  services
      amounted to $21,154 for the six months ended April 30, 1996.
 
    e)An  aggregate annual fee of $65,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
      a Trustee  of The  Pierpont Funds,  The JPM  Institutional Funds  and  the
      Master  Portfolios. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses shown in the financial
      statements represent the Portfolio's allocated  portion of the total  fees
      and  expenses.  The Trustee  who serves  as  Chairman and  Chief Executive
      Officer of the  Portfolio also serves  as Chairman of  Group and  received
      compensation  and  employee benefits  from Group  in  his role  as Group's
      Chairman. The allocated portion of such compensation and benefits included
      in the Fund Services Fee shown in the financial statements was $2,700.
