LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND
June 14, 1996
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to announce that, following a Fund fiscal year of disappointing
negative performance by emerging equity markets around the world, The JPM
Institutional Emerging Markets Equity Fund recorded a 12.04% gain for the six-
month period ending April 30, 1996. We believe that the Fund's country
allocation and stock selection decisions enabled it to slightly outperform the
Fund's benchmark,* which returned 11.91% for the period. The Fund, meanwhile,
underperformed its competition as measured by the Morningstar Diversified
Emerging Markets Equity Funds Average and the Lipper Emerging Markets Fund
Average, which returned 14.23% and 14.09% for the period, 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 Alejandro Baez-Sacasa, a
member of our 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 ALEJANDRO BAEZ-SACASA, who is a member
of the portfolio management team for The Emerging Markets Equity
Portfolio in which the Fund invests. Alejandro joined Morgan Private
Banking in 1982. Before moving to the Emerging Markets equities team
in 1995, he spent ten years managing international balanced portfolios
for private clients. This interview was conducted on June 7, 1996 and
reflects Alejandro's views on that date.
THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW SAW A MAJOR TURNAROUND FOR THE WORLD'S EMERGING MARKETS
- -- UNDOUBTEDLY WELCOME NEWS FOR OUR PATIENT SHAREHOLDERS. IN YOUR VIEW, WHAT
WERE THE UNDERLYING FACTORS FOR THE IMPRESSIVE RECOVERIES THAT TOOK PLACE IN
LATIN AMERICA, ASIA, AND EUROPE'S EMERGING MARKETS?
ABS: In our view, the two main issues that dominated emerging markets during
1995 and were largely responsible for their disappointing performance throughout
most of that year were the devaluation of the Mexican peso and an increase in
political tensions around the world. We believe that the turnaround seen during
the six months ending April 30, 1996 came on the back of increased investor
confidence that political difficulties were being resolved, signals of an
acceleration of GDP growth throughout the emerging economies, and the attractive
valuations that could be found in most markets following the 1995 downturn.
One key indication of resurgent investor confidence was the fact that the
world's emerging economies received record inflows of capital throughout the
latter stages of 1995 -- this despite the Mexican crisis. We also started to
witness signals of an acceleration of GDP growth in Eastern Europe and Latin
America, as well as a recognition by investors that certain markets had become
attractive. Eastern European markets, for example, were selling at 6 to 7 times
their prospective 1996 earnings, well below the levels found in more developed
markets. The Latin American governments most affected by the Mexican peso crisis
did not change their economic policies and maintained fiscal and monetary
discipline despite the high social cost that this implied, giving renewed
confidence to international and domestic investors.
WE OFTEN SPEAK OF THE NEED FOR INVESTORS TO FOCUS ON LONG-TERM VALUE --
PARTICULARLY IN THESE MARKETS. HOW WELL DID THE PORTFOLIO'S COMMITMENT TO
UNCOVERING LONG-TERM VALUE SUCCEED DURING THE PERIOD AND WHICH PARTS OF OUR
COUNTRY ALLOCATION AND STOCK SELECTION STRATEGY WORKED BEST IN YOUR VIEW?
ABS: The key to our success during this period was the fact that neither of the
Portfolio's investment decisions detracted from overall returns, which of course
set the stage for the Portfolio's relative outperformance. Stock selection, for
example, made a slightly positive contribution overall while our country
allocation decisions were neutral relative to the benchmark for the period. In
terms of country allocation, the Portfolio added value for shareholders in
Israel, Taiwan, Turkey, and South Africa. The positive effect of these decisions
was, however, moderated by negative results in Argentina, Korea, Malaysia, and
Mexico. And while it was positive overall, the Portfolio's greatest success in
stock selection for the period came in Chile, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, and
the Czech Republic.

<PAGE>
WHAT FACTORS DO YOU THINK WERE AT WORK IN THE MARKETS IN WHICH THE PORTFOLIO
OUT- AND UNDERPERFORMED? AND COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ONE OR TWO RECENT EXAMPLES
OF HOW MORGAN'S PROPRIETARY RESEARCH AIMS AT ACHIEVING SUCCESS IN THE
PORTFOLIO'S COUNTRY ALLOCATION?
ABS: If we take South Africa, for example, a market in which the Portfolio
outperformed for the period under review, and which was responsible for most of
the Portfolio's added value from country selection, the Portfolio was
overweighted in the first two months of the period. Later on, however, we turned
less positive after visiting the country and therefore decided to pursue an
underweighted investment strategy in South Africa for two reasons. The first of
these were concerns about valuations of that market relative to other markets in
the emerging markets universe and, second, the likelihood that South Africa's
political situation would become unstable if President Mandela's health removed
him from the government. Our underweighted strategy paid off after the South
African market experienced a good January and February, but then was challenged
by a depreciating currency and a decline in the price of gold in late February
and early March.
Taiwan provides another example of our success in country allocation during
the period. We decided to overweight the Portfolio in Taiwan shortly after
China's provocative naval exercises in the Taiwan straits caused the market
to sell off considerably. By the beginning of this year, however, valuations
in Taiwan stocks had dropped to ten-year lows in terms of price-to-earnings
ratios. We took this as signal to begin overweighting Taiwanese stocks in
relative terms --a decision that has been rewarded as this market has
outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index on a year-to-date basis.
Far less successful has been our decision to have the Portfolio underweighted
in Malaysia, a market which rallied throughout the period under review. While
some of our momentum-driven competitors might believe that this was a reason
to increase their allocation to the Malaysia, we are more comfortable with
maintaining our underweighting there, despite the Portfolio's recent
underperformance. The reason for this is Morgan's focus on long-term
fundamental value as the determining factor in country allocation decisions.
Our analysis indicates that Malaysian stock prices are currently expensive is
historical terms, that its economy is overheated, and it is experiencing a
large current account deficit. Given this environment, we believe that now is
not the time to increase the Portfolio's exposure to Malaysia. Indeed, we
expect to add value there through our underweighting in the months to come as
we believe that Malaysia is likely to underperform the Index.
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS TO ADD VALUE FOR SHAREHOLDERS THROUGH INFORMED STOCK
SELECTION. WHERE WAS THIS DECISION STRONGEST AND ARE WE STANDING FIRM WITH THE
STOCKS THAT PROVIDED DISAPPOINTING RETURNS FOR THE PERIOD?
ABS: As I've said before, we managed to marginally add to the Portfolio's
overall returns for the period through our stock selection decisions. We believe
that our stock selection worked better in relative terms in Asia and Eastern
Europe because those markets were more inclined to focus on long-term value, and
were therefore more in sync with our own stock selection process. Stock
selection proved more difficult for us in Latin America because of the fact that
investors were focusing on liquidity and momentum rather than value in the wake
of the Mexican peso crisis. Although clearly out of sync in Latin America over
this short term, our analysis indicates that stocks in this region are now being
increasingly priced in accordance with long-term fundamentals -- a situation
that we believe is likely to benefit our stock selection there in the months
ahead.

<PAGE>
INFORMED INVESTORS UNDERSTAND THE LONG-TERM BENEFITS OF A GLOBALLY DIVERSIFIED
PORTFOLIO THAT INCLUDES AN EXPOSURE TO THE WORLD'S EMERGING MARKETS. HAVING SAID
THAT, HOWEVER, DO YOU AND YOUR TEAM THINK THAT CURRENT VALUATIONS MAKE EMERGING
MARKETS A PARTICULARLY ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT AT THIS TIME IN GLOBAL TERMS?
ABS: Our analysis indicates that emerging markets equities are now reasonably
priced when viewed in the context of their five-year average price-to-earnings
ratios, and that they are selling at a small discount relative to U.S. stocks,
as measured by the S&P 500, and a somewhat larger discount to EAFE (i.e., non-
U.S.) stocks. However, when you factor in prospective GDP growth, or what
investors pay for growth, our view is that emerging markets equities are indeed
attractive going forward. The five-year year historical price-to-earnings
average is 18 times earnings for this asset class, while emerging markets
equities are currently selling at 17 times earnings. While this price, of
course, cannot be seen as a deep discount relative to historical valuations, we
believe that emerging markets equities can be viewed as fairly attractive both
in terms of their own historical pricing and relative to U.S. and EAFE stocks
when they are considered on a price-to-earnings per unit of growth basis.
ONE OF THE IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE PORTFOLIO DURING THIS PERIOD WAS
MORGAN'S DECISION TO SWITCH TO A BENCHMARK THAT, IN OUR VIEW, MORE ACCURATELY
REFLECTS THE EMERGING MARKETS UNIVERSE. WHAT WAS YOUR THINKING ON THE LONG-TERM
ADVANTAGES OF THIS MOVE, AND WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO POSSIBLE DETRACTORS WHO MIGHT
ARGUE THAT WE HAVE SIMPLY "CHANGED HORSES IN MID-STREAM" TO FURTHER OUR OWN
ENDS?
ABS: We did indeed move from a version of The IFC Investible Index to The
MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index on January 1st of this year. Our decision,
which became final on June 30, 1995, was mainly driven by MSCI's treatment of
South Africa and Malaysia. The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index was first to
utilize a method of accounting for cross holdings. (Cross holdings are stock
of one company in the Index owned by another company in the Index.) In the
case of South Africa, this dramatically reduced the country's weighting in
the Index to a level in line with its actual market capitalization. In
Malaysia, MSCI has selected companies which, in the context of the Index,
result in a lower overall country weight. In answer to our possible
detractors, let me say that we believe that by combining the lower weight in
Malaysia with the adjusted weight in South Africa, The MSCI Emerging Markets
Free Index has arrived at a more accurate representation of the two largest
countries in the emerging markets universe. Shareholders interested in
details should note that South Africa's weighting in The IFC Investible Index
was 23.8% on June 30, 1995 versus a 14.5% weighting on that date in The MSCI
Emerging Markets Free Index. Malaysia's weighting in The IFC Investible Index
was 21.4% on June 30, 1995 versus a 17.2% weighting on that date in The MSCI
Emerging Markets Free Index.
LOOKING TO THE MONTHS AHEAD, WHICH REGIONS DO WE EXPECT TO OFFER THE MOST
ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND HOW DO YOU THINK THESE REGIONAL
FORECASTS WILL AFFECT THE PORTFOLIO'S COUNTRY ALLOCATIONS?
ABS: Our analysis indicates that the most attractive emerging markets are
currently found in various countries in Eastern Europe. Here we have markets
whose governments have had the courage to experiment in solving economic
problems, and whose valuations continue to be attractive at 10 to 11 times
earnings
5
<PAGE>
despite a recent runup in prices. Viewed overall, economic growth in Eastern
Europe has started to accelerate, inflation is coming down along with interest
rates, and capital inflows have been on the rise -- all creating what we regard
as a favorable environment for equities. In order to better capture the current
attractiveness of Eastern European markets, we have decided to overweight
selected countries in this region in the Portfolio while simultaneously
underweighting South Africa, Latin America and Asia.
RECENT AND UPCOMING NATIONAL ELECTIONS HAVE BEEN BIG NEWS IN THE WORLD'S
EMERGING MARKETS. IN YOUR VIEW, ARE EVENTS OF THIS KIND LIKELY TO CHANGE THE
INVESTMENT CLIMATE AND RELATIVE ATTRACTIVENESS OF RUSSIA, TAIWAN, INDIA, OR
TURKEY?
ABS: Of the countries you mentioned, we regard the Russian election, coming up
in mid-June, as the most important one we face going forward in terms of its
potential implications for investors. If the communists return to power in late
June, and they try to reverse the economic reforms that have been put in place,
in our view it is likely to create doubt and volatility within this market going
forward. We believe, however that current valuations in the Russian market --
which is now selling at 6 to 7 times earnings -- have already "priced in" a
large portion of the added risk that may be involved. Morgan believes that
President Yeltsin is likely to be reelected in June, and that this will have a
positive effect on the market. The equity market in Russia is also betting that
Yeltsin will be reelected, having rallied almost 70% since the beginning of the
year. As to the elections in other countries you mentioned, the election in
Taiwan did serve to create an environment of attractive valuations -- but that
was true only because it represented a rejection of political and military
pressures placed upon the country by China. The Indian elections were mostly a
non-event from the market's point of view.
AS A GENERAL RULE, WOULD YOU SAY THAT EMERGING MARKETS, HOWEVER INEFFICIENT THEY
MAY APPEAR RELATIVE TO THEIR MORE DEVELOPED COUNTERPARTS, ARE NOW ABLE TO PRICE
IN POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS RATHER QUICKLY?
ABS: Our view continues to be that the emerging markets are efficient with
regard to their ability to price in political developments. The key thing to
remember from an investment risk standpoint is that both the upside and downside
volatility of these markets tend to be greater than that seen in the developed
markets due to the limited liquidity that is prevalent in some of these markets.
WHAT OTHER FACTORS DO YOU REGARD AS KEY IN DETERMINING THE FUTURE NEAR-TERM
PERFORMANCE OF EMERGING MARKETS IN WHICH THE PORTFOLIO PARTICIPATES?
ABS: Going forward, we believe that the key factor in determining the future
course of emerging markets will continue to be the direction of U.S. interest
rates. If U.S. interest rates continue their upward trend, our view is that this
is likely to have a negative impact on the performance of emerging markets.
Another important factor to the health of emerging markets is continued
stability in Latin America, since the difficult performance of last year
originated in this area. As mentioned previously, we also believe that the
Russian election could become a source of instability for the emerging markets
if it turns out that Boris Yeltsin is not reelected.

"Trust") which was organized on November 4, 1992. The Trust is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an 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 objective as the Fund. The value of such
investment reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the
Portfolio (30% 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 prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principals 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 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.

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 is applied each
day to the net assets of the Fund. For the period November 1, 1995 through
December 28, 1995, such fees amounted to $8,702.
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% on 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 December 29, 1995 through
April 30, 1996, such fees amounted to $9,970.
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 would
receive a fee, based on the percentage described below, for overseeing
certain aspects of the administration and operation of the Fund and which
was also designed to provide an expense limit for certain expenses of the
Fund. This fee was calculated exclusive of the shareholder servicing fee,
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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 $18,994.
In addition to the expenses that Morgan assumed under the Services
Agreement, Morgan had 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 1.60%
of the average daily net assets of the Fund through February 29, 1996. For
the six months ended April 30, 1996, no reimbursement was necessary.
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, Morgan's
fee for these services amounted to $16,952.
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 $76,462.
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
$5,988 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 Trust's
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 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
$800.

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 on June 16, 1993. 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 Portfolio's investment objective is to
provide a high total return from a portfolio of equity securities of companies
in emerging markets. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an
unlimited number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio.
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 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.
Investments in emerging markets may involve certain considerations and
risks not typically associated with investments in the Unites States.
Future economic and political developments in emerging market 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.
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 exchange rates 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)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 forward and spot foreign currency contracts
to protect securities and related receivables 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 forward and spot foreign currency contract
translations. At April 30, 1996 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 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.
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 1.00%
of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended
April 30, 1996, such fees amounted to $3,608,169.
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 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
Administration 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
$6,052.
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 December 29, 1995 through April 30, 1996, such fees amounted to
$33,609.
c)Until August 31, 1995, the Portfolio had a Financial and Fund Accounting
Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan
would receive 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, amortization of
organization expenses and brokerage costs at 0.03% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets. 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, such fees amounted to $64,035.
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 $19,928 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 Portfolio's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 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 $2,600.
