LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND
November 27, 1996
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to announce that, following a difficult year for emerging equity
markets around the world, The JPM Institutional Emerging Markets Equity Fund
recorded a 6.64% gain for the one-year period ending October 31, 1996. Both the
Fund's country allocation and stock selection decisions enabled it to outperform
its benchmark,* which returned 5.12% for the period. The Fund did not keep pace
with the Lipper Emerging Markets Fund Average, which returned 9.11% for the
period. Please keep in mind, however, that many of the funds contained in this
average have a less structured management approach, where more aggressive bets
are taken.
Included in this report is a Q&A with Doug Dooley, the senior member of the
Fund's 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. We hope you find it
informative.
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 GUERNSEY

Fund performance
EXAMINING PERFORMANCE
One way to evaluate a mutual fund's historical performance is to look at the
growth of a hypothetical investment of $500,000, which is the Fund's investment
minimum. The chart at the right shows that $500,000 invested in the Fund on
November 30, 1993 would have grown to $513,698 on October 31, 1996.
Another way to look at performance is to review a fund's average annual total
return. This figure takes the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and shows you
what would have happened if the fund had achieved that return by performing at a
constant rate each year. Average annual total returns represent the average
yearly change of a fund's value over various time periods, typically 1, 5, or 10
years (or since inception). Total returns for periods of less than one year are
not annualized and provide a picture of how a fund has performed over the short
term.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A
[PHOTO] The following is an interview with DOUG DOOLEY, a managing director
and the senior member of the portfolio management team for the
Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio. Prior to assuming this position, he
was head of the International Research Group in London. Doug joined
Morgan's U.S. Equity Research Department in 1979 and subsequently
managed institutional balanced accounts. Doug has a B.S. from American
University and an M.B.A. from Columbia University. He is a chartered
financial analyst. This interview was conducted on November 21, 1996
and reflects his views on that date.
FOR THE YEAR UNDER REVIEW, WHAT IMPORTANT EVENTS CONTRIBUTED TO THE PERFORMANCE
OF EMERGING MARKETS AS A WHOLE?
DD: The most important was the recovery of Latin America from the Mexican peso
crisis, which punished markets all through the previous fiscal year. This
recovery not only benefited Latin America, but contributed to a rebound in
investors' perceptions of emerging markets in general.
DURING THE YEAR, THE FUND WAS ABLE TO BEAT THE RETURNS FOR ITS BENCHMARK INDEX.
WHAT WERE THE REASONS FOR THIS OUTPERFORMANCE?
DD: Both the countries we chose to emphasize and the stocks we selected for the
Portfolio helped the Fund turn in performance that was well ahead of the Index.
Our decision to underweight South Africa and Thailand and overweight Eastern
Europe, relative to the Index, proved to be beneficial during the year.
As far as stock selection goes, during the fiscal year we saw a return to an
investment environment where our value-oriented approach was rewarded. Last
year, after the peso crisis, many investors clung to the big "safe" stocks,
resulting in the markets having very little breadth. Investors were not focused
on fundamentals, causing our value approach to have no advantage in the market.
This year, investors have ventured beyond those stocks and into the broader
market, providing the conditions for our fundamental research to add value.
ASIA HAS LAGGED THE OTHER REGIONS THIS YEAR. WHILE SOME COUNTRIES HAD UNIQUE
PROBLEMS THAT SUPPRESSED EQUITY PRICES, THE REGION AS A WHOLE SEEMS TO BE
STRUGGLING ECONOMICALLY. WHY?
DD: Emerging Asia broadly lagged because, in most of these countries, there was
a need to slow down the domestic economy in order to control a rising current
account deficit. This economic slowdown resulted in reduced corporate earnings
expectations, which quickly translated into lower stock prices. Adding to this,
there has been a slowdown in exports, especially in electronics, which has had a
negative effect, particularly in Taiwan and Korea. Politics also played a role
in sentiment in India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Korea.
4
<PAGE>
WHAT MAJOR FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE GOOD PERFORMANCE OF THE EMERGING EUROPEAN
MARKETS?
DD: Mainly, these countries are establishing track records of success. They
have implemented economic reforms which have produced visible results. Poland
has been a leader here and the Czech Republic and Hungary have not been far
behind.
In addition to that, Russia made it through the elections in good order. There
was a risk they would falter and potentially bring down the whole region.
However, with the re-election of Boris Yeltsin and an improved economic outlook,
they allowed eastern Europe to do well.
WILL THE UPCOMING EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION (EMU) AFFECT THE EMERGING ECONOMIES
AND MARKETS OF THE NON-UNION MEMBERS?
DD: The coming EMU has brought interest rates down. That should be beneficial
for the emerging European countries even though they will not be directly
participating. These lower rates should trigger higher domestic demand in the
EMU countries for goods imported from emerging Europe. Also, the lower rates in
the EMU allow for lower rates in the surrounding countries, which would help
lower the cost of capital to these economies.
However, EMU alone does not make a case for emerging Europe. These countries
need to continue with their economic reforms in order to move forward.
WHICH STOCK IN THE PORTFOLIO WOULD BE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF IT'S SELECTION PROCESS
UNCOVERING HIDDEN VALUE?
DD: A recent example would be Mavesa, the leading Venezuelan consumer company
with a dominant market share in detergents, mayonnaise and margarine. The
company also makes fruit juices, preserves, baby foods, ketchup, tomato paste,
and mineral water. During the latter half of last year, we accumulated a
position in the Portfolio in the shares. During the third quarter of this year,
the stock experienced an appreciation of 63% -- outperforming the local market
by 38%. For the year to date, the stock has outperformed the local market by
96%. Despite this dramatic appreciation, we believe the stock is still
attractive, selling at only a 50% premium to book value with an earnings
multiple of ten.
LOOKING AHEAD, IN WHICH MARKETS AND INDUSTRIES DO YOU SEE THE BEST RELATIVE
VALUE?
DD: In our view, Latin America now represents the best relative value. During
the Mexican peso crisis these markets were oversold. Now, they are continuing to
experience a recovery. And we think that recovery is justified by the underlying
fundamentals. The industrial growth rate in Latin America is higher than in the
other regions. We especially like Argentina, where we were impressed by the way
their government handled the peso crisis. The actions they took were politically
difficult, where the country experienced a lot of internal pain for the sake of
stabilizing the currency.
We also see relative value in eastern Europe, where we have seen the most
improvement in economic fundamentals -- especially in Russia, Croatia, Hungary,
and the Czech Republic. Investors in these markets are likely to be rewarded as
eastern Europe continues with its integration into the mainstream.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 (34% at October 31, 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 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 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.

<PAGE>
THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
OCTOBER 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
g)The Fund accounts for and reports distributions to shareholders in
accordance with Statement of Position 93-2 "Determination, Disclosure, and
Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, Return of
Capital Distributions by Investment Companies." The effect of applying
this statement as of October 31, 1996, was to increase accumulated net
realized gain on investment and foreign currency transactions by $543,071,
decrease undistributed net investment income by $197,265, and decrease
paid-in-capital by $345,806. The adjustments are primarily attributable to
tax treatment of partnership allocations of capital gains and losses and
foreign currency losses. Net investment income, net realized loss and net
assets were not effected by this change.
h)For United States Federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss
carryfoward at October 31, 1996 of approximately $11,883,000, of which
$8,215,000 will expire in the year 2003 and $3,668,000 will expire in the
year 2004. 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 had retained Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc.
("Signature") to serve as administrator and distributor. Under an
Administrative Agreement, Signature provided administrative services
necessary for the operations of the Fund, furnished office space and
facilities required for conducting the business of the Fund and paid the
compensation of the Fund's officers affiliated with Signature. Until
December 28, 1995, 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
acted 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 fees for these services
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 JPM 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 paid by the
Fund is determined by the proportionate share its net assets bore to the
total net assets of the Trust, The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Advisor
Funds and the Master Portfolios. For the period December 29, 1995 through
July 31, 1996, Signature's fees for these services amounted to $18,329.
The Administration Agreement with Signature was terminated July 31, 1996.
Effective August 1, 1996, certain administrative functions formerly
provided by Signature are provided by Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a
registered broker-dealer, and by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
("Morgan"). FDI also serves as the Funds' distributor. Under a Co-
Administration Agreement between FDI and the Trust on behalf of the Fund,
the Fund has agreed to pay FDI fees equal to its allocable share of an
annual complex-wide charge of $425,000 plus FDI's out-

of-pocket expenses. The amount allocable to the Fund is based on the ratio
of the Fund's net assets to the aggregate net assets of the Trust, The JPM
Pierpont Funds, The JPM Advisor Funds and the Master Portfolios. For the
period from August 1, 1996 through October 31, 1996, the fee for these
services amounted to $2,593.
b)Until August 31, 1995, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, had a Financial
and Fund Accounting Services Agreement with Morgan which provided that
Morgan would receive a fee, based on the percentage described below, for
overseeing certain aspects of the administration and operation of the Fund
and that 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 "Services Agreement") with
Morgan under which Morgan is responsible for certain aspects of the
administration and operation of the Fund. Under the Services Agreement,
the Fund has agreed to pay Morgan a fee equal to its proportionate share
of an annual complex-wide charge. Until July 31, 1996, this charge was
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 paid by the Fund was determined by the
proportionate share its net assets bore to 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 July 31, 1996, Morgan's fee for these services amounted to
$35,016.
Effective August 1, 1996, the Services Agreement was amended such that the
annual complex-wide charge is calculated daily based on the aggregate net
assets of the Master Portfolios in accordance with the following schedule:
0.09% on the first $7 billion of the Master Portfolios' aggregate average
daily net assets and 0.04% of the Master Portfolios' aggregate average
daily net assets in excess of $7 billion less the complex-wide fees
payable to FDI. The allocation of the Fund's portion of this charge is
described above. For the period August 1, 1996 through October 31, 1996,
the fee for these services amounted to $22,550.
In addition, 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.
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.

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
$11,374 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996.
e)An aggregate annual fee of $65,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the 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
33
<PAGE>
THE EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
OCTOBER 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
e)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.
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 fiscal year ended
October 31, 1996, such fees amounted to $7,825,873.
b)The Portfolio had retained Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc.
("Signature") to serve as administrator and exclusive placement agent.
Under an Administration Agreement, Signature provided administrative
services necessary for the operations of the Portfolio, furnished office
space and facilities required for conducting the business of the Portfolio
and paid the compensation of the Portfolio's officers affiliated with
Signature. Until December 28, 1995, 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 was 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 was 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 (the "Master Portfolios") in which The
JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional 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 paid by the
Portfolio was determined by the proportionate share its net assets bore to
the total net assets of The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional
Funds, The JPM Advisor Funds and the Master Portfolios. For the period
December 29, 1995 through July 31, 1996, such fees amounted to $60,199.
The Administration Agreement with Signature was terminated July 31,1996.
Effective August 1, 1996, certain administrative functions formerly
provided by Signature are provided by Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a
registered broker dealer, and by Morgan. FDI also serves as the
Portfolio's exclusive placement agent. Under a Co-Administration Agreement
between FDI and the Portfolio, the Portfolio has agreed to pay FDI fees
equal to its allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge of $425,000
plus FDI's out-of-pocket expenses. The amount allocable to the Portfolio
is based on the ratio of the Portfolio's net assets to the aggregate net
assets of the JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, The JPM
Advisor Funds and the Master Portfolios. For the period August 1, 1996
through October 31, 1996, the fee for these services amounted to $5,719.
c)Until August 31, 1995, the Portfolio had a Financial and Fund Accounting
Services Agreement with Morgan which provided that 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
35

THE EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY PORTFOLIO

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 "Services Agreement") with Morgan under which
Morgan was responsible for overseeing certain aspects of the
administration and operation of the Portfolio. Under the Services
Agreement, the Portfolio had agreed to pay Morgan a fee equal to its
proportionate share of an annual complex-wide charge. Until July 31, 1996
this charge was 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 paid by the Portfolio was
determined by the proportionate share that the Portfolio's net assets bore
to the net assets of the Master Portfolios and investors in the Master
Portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services. For the period
December 29, 1995 through July 31, 1996, such fees amounted to $114,989.
Effective August 1, 1996, the Services Agreement was amended such that the
annual complex-wide charge is calculated daily based on the aggregate net
assets of the Master Portfolios in accordance with the following annual
schedule: 0.09% on the first $7 billion of the Master Portfolios'
aggregate average daily net assets and 0.04% of the Master Portfolios'
aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7 billion less the
complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The allocation of the Fund's portion of
this charge is described above. For the period from August 1, 1996 through
October 31, 1996, the fee for these services amounted to $68,509.
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 $36,851 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996.
e)An aggregate annual fee of $65,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
a Trustee of The JPM 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 $4,700.

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, 1996, the results of its operations for the year
then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended and the supplementary data for each of the two years in the
period then ended and 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 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 involved
confirmation of securities at October 31, 1996 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.
