LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM INSTITUTIONAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
June 15, 1997
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to report that The JPM Institutional International Equity Fund
recorded a 3.07% gain for the six-month period ended April 30, 1997. We
believe that country allocation, stock selection, and currency management
decisions all contributed to the Fund's outperformance of its benchmark, the
MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 1.57% for the period.
The Fund's net asset value decreased from $11.43 per share at the beginning
of the period to $11.32 by April 30, 1997 after making distributions of
approximately $0.25 from ordinary income, approximately $0.12 from short-term
capital gains and approximately $0.08 from long-term capital gains. The
Fund's net assets were $677.4 million at the end of the reporting period. The
net assets of The International Equity Portfolio, in which the Fund invests,
totaled approximately $848.6 million on April 30, 1997.
In addition to the performance and allocation highlights within this report,
we have also provided a portfolio manager Q&A with Paul A. Quinsee, a member
of the Fund's portfolio management team. This interview is designed to
address commonly asked questions regarding the Portfolio and the markets in
which it invests. Paul also discusses major decisions affecting the Portfolio
during the reporting period, as well as an outlook and strategy for the
months ahead.
As always, we welcome your comments and questions or any suggestions as to
how we can improve the financial reports we prepare for you. Please call J.P.
Morgan Funds Services, toll free, at (800) 766-7722.
Sincerely yours,

FUND PERFORMANCE
EXAMINING PERFORMANCE
One way to evaluate a mutual fund's historical performance is to review its
average annual total return. This figure takes the fund's actual (or
cumulative) return and shows 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 International 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 5, 1997 and reflects Paul's views on that date.
THROUGHOUT THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDING APRIL 30, 1997, MANY OF THE SEPARATE
MARKETS WITHIN THE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY ARENA PRODUCED VARIED RESULTS.
SPECIFICALLY, WHILE EUROPEAN EQUITIES POSTED CONSISTENTLY STRONG RETURNS,
JAPANESE EQUITIES PRODUCED EQUALLY CONSISTENT NEGATIVE RETURNS. CAN YOU PLEASE
EXPLAIN THESE DRAMATIC RETURN DIFFERENCES?
PAQ: Actually, over this period, MOST of the world's equity markets were
providing very strong returns, while the normal average from Japan had been
substantially lower. Japanese stock prices actually began to drop last summer
and fell sharply at the end of 1996, then continued descending into the first
months of 1997. So Japan has really been performing very differently from the
rest of the world for quite some time, and I think there are primarily two
reasons for that.
One is that while the Japanese economy had actually been doing quite well,
investors were concerned that the recovery would stop when the Japanese
government raised taxes in April 1997. In other words, investors became very
gloomy about the outlook for growth in Japan, even though Japan's actual
economic data were quite good.
The other reason for Japan's poor performance was caused by concerns
regarding the financial sector and the fact that its problems were perceived
as being far from resolved. We had seen particularly bad performance from the
Japanese banks and financial companies, which comprise approximately a
quarter of the Japanese market. The problems in the financial sector then
culminated in the first quarter of 1997, with the forced restructuring of two
banks and an insurance company (Nippon Credit, Hokkaido Takushoku and Nissan
Life).
So those were the problems in Japan -- gloom about the economy, along with
continued problems within the financial system, which caused the negative
performance of Japan in contrast to the rest of the world.
IN CONTRAST, WHAT EXPLAINS THE STRONG PERFORMANCE OF EUROPE?
PAQ: Well, there have been a number of positive influences we can identify
within Europe, with perhaps the most important being the favorable
macroeconomic environment. For example, economic growth in Europe
accelerated, while short-term interest rates edged down and long-term
interest rates fell quite
3
<PAGE>
sharply. In addition, Europe experienced a much more favorable currency
environment, as the Deutsche mark and Swiss franc weakened against the dollar.
On top of all of that, Europe had an encouraging trend in terms of corporate
developments -- European companies demonstrated an increasing willingness to
attack their costs and improve their competitiveness. This has been reflected in
a stream of mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, IPOs, and high profile
restructure announcements across the European region. Additionally, governments
have been looking to transfer companies back to the private sector, with the
most spectacular example being Deutsche Telecom.
So Europe's performance has been primarily a result of a more stable period
for currencies and the improved competitive position of its corporate sector.
PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT OCCURRED IN THE ASIAN MARKETS (SPECIFICALLY SINGAPORE AND
MALAYSIA), WHERE THE STRONG RETURNS OF 1996 WERE COMPLETELY REVERSED DURING
THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF 1997?
PAQ: Specifically, the Malaysian market was affected by great concern
throughout the region about possible implications of continued strength in
its real estate market. The Malaysian real estate market has been very strong
for a number of years, which in turn encouraged a tremendous amount of new
construction. Analysts, therefore, began to worry about what this could mean
for occupancy levels and rental values in the future. And of course, I might
add, the catalyst for much of this worry was the fact that concerns were
growing as a result of Thailand's real estate market. Thailand had enjoyed a
similar real estate boom, which began to unwind, creating a very negative
impact on the Thai stock market. So investors have been looking at the Asian
markets as a whole and anticipating where new problems might surface. As a
result of the downside risks inherent in its real estate market, Malaysian
stocks fell quite sharply in the first quarter of 1997.
Singapore, as you also mentioned, was held back by a slowdown in its
economy, as well as by investor nervousness about the region as a whole.
CAN YOU BRIEFLY EXPLAIN EUROPEAN ECONOMIC &MONETARY UNION (EMU) AND THE
RAMIFICATIONS IT WILL HAVE ON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKETS?
PAQ: EMU is a tremendously complex issue -- and one that we have spent a lot
of time researching. To summarize it very briefly, it is expected that a
number of countries in Europe, after 1999, will share a common currency --
and, therefore, a common monetary policy -- rather than operate within a
system of individual national currencies. If this happens it means that the
economies within that union become much more like one another. Although
long-term interest rates will continue to be different country by country --
because investor views regarding the credit risk of different countries will
vary -- short-term interest rates of these converging countries will be very
close to the same level. And inflation, of course, will be virtually the same
across the region.
This progress toward EMU has had a much more dramatic influence on the bond
markets than the stock markets, particularly with the enormous reductions in
the premiums paid by the Italian and Spanish governments over the past
three or four years when compared to Germany. The impact on the stock
markets, however, is a little less clear-cut at this point.
4
<PAGE>
Generally, falling long-term interest rates, particularly declines in real
rates, are good for stock prices. Also, in the core countries, we've seen a
weakness in the Deutsche mark, which is positive for the big exporting
companies in Germany, as well as its neighbors.
So long term, there are pluses. Near term, of course, the efforts the
governments are taking to control their spending, via tight fiscal policies,
are reducing the pace of economic recovery across Europe. Those are, to some
extent, being offset by more relaxed monetary policies and are not having a
particularly serious negative impact on the stock markets at this time.
THE FUND OUTPERFORMED ITS BENCHMARK FOR THE PERIOD (THE MSCI EAFE INDEX),
PROVIDING CONSISTENTLY POSITIVE RETURNS. WHAT SPECIFICALLY CONTRIBUTED TO
THAT STRONG PERFORMANCE?
PAQ: A number of different decisions contributed to the Fund's results. Our
country allocation decisions tended to help us over the period. For example,
the Portfolio suffered less than the benchmark because of its underweight
position in Japan, as the Japanese market was particularly weak throughout
most of the year. At the same time, the Portfolio maintained overweight
positions in the strongly performing European markets, such as Germany and
France.
The behavior of European currencies against the dollar also contributed to
overall performance. Also, as the dollar continued to strengthen against
other international currencies throughout the period -- such as the yen --
this helped us in terms of performance results.
Stock picking, which we think in the long run is the most important decision,
also contributed positively to returns. Our analysts and management team were
particularly successful in identifying value within the German equity market,
as well as in some of the Asian markets. Specifically, in Hong Kong, the
Portfolio's exposure to HSBC (Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank Corporation) made a
big impact on the period's returns. So stock, country and currency decisions
all made important contributions during the period.
MOVING TOWARD THE SECOND HALF OF 1997, HOW ARE YOU POSITIONING THE PORTFOLIO
- --WHICH MARKETS DO YOU BELIEVE WILL ADD MOST VALUE?
PAQ: You know, it's not easy to find undervalued situations right now, with
such strong performance having come from most markets over the past two or
three years. The markets we've recently been focusing on, however, are
Australia and New Zealand. In the past, companies in these markets have
provided relatively disappointing results. We feel now, however, that period
is over and that stocks in those markets represent relatively good value; we
think these are some of the best values that are offered around the world.
We also expect to increase the Portfolio's positions in the U.K., another
market that's lagged. The U.K. market has so far responded well to the
proposed policies of the new Labor Administration. We also think there are a
number of companies in the U.K. that are undervalued. So that's an area we
expect to increase allocations.
It's more difficult to choose between the major continental markets and Japan
at this point, with the relative performance of the European markets being so
strong. The valuation gap between the two has narrowed, but we continued to
emphasize Germany in the Portfolio. We think companies there will benefit
5
<PAGE>
from the restructuring and cost cutting that now seems to be the trend in
Germany's corporate sector. We have reduced the Portfolio's exposure to
France and expect to maintain that reduced position going forward. The
French market has already done quite well, and we believe it is no longer
undervalued.
Lastly, we expect to add positions in Japan, as Japanese stocks are more
reasonably valued than they used to be -- particluarly medium sized companies
and even companies in the banking sector. We think the market is
overemphasizing Japan's economic difficulties. We actually believe the
Japanese economy will continue to recover at a healthy rate this year, helped
by its low interest rate environment.

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 an open-end management
investment company. The Fund commenced operations on October 4, 1993.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The International 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 (80% at April 30, 1997). 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.

a)The Trust has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
broker-dealer, to serve as co-administrator and distributor. Under a
Co-Administration Agreement, FDI 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 FDI. Under the
Co-Administration Agreement, 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, the Portfolio and
other portfolios in which the Trust, The JPM Pierpont Funds and The JPM
Advisor Funds invest (the "Master Portfolios"), JPM Series Trust and JPM
Series Trust II. For the six months ended April 30, 1997, the fee for
these services amounted to $12,212.
On November 15, 1996, The JPM Advisor Funds terminated operations and were
being liquidated. Subsequent to that date, the net assets of The JPM
Advisor Funds are no longer included in the calculation of the allocation
of FDI's fees.
b)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an Administrative
Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty Trust
Company of New York ("Morgan") under which Morgan is responsible for
certain aspects of the administration and the 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. This charge is
calculated daily based on the aggregate net assets of the Master
Portfolios and JPM Series Trust in accordance with the following annual
schedule: 0.09% on the first $7 billion of their aggregate average daily
net assets and 0.04% of their aggregate average daily net assets in excess
of $7 billion, less the complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The portion of
this charge payable by the Fund is determined by the proportionate share
that its net assets bear to the net assets of the Trust, The JPM Pierpont
Funds, the Master Portfolios, other investors in the Master Portfolios for
which Morgan provides similar services, and JPM Series Trust. For the six
months ended April 30, 1997, the fee for these services amounted to
$112,108.
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 January 31,
1997. For the six months ended April 30, 1997, Morgan has agreed to
reimburse the Fund $615 for expenses under this agreement.
c)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Shareholder Servicing Agreement
with Morgan. The agreement provides for the Fund to pay Morgan a fee for
these services which is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate
of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months
ended April 30, 1997, the fee for these services amounted to $356,107.

allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services amounted to

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York. The Portfolio'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. Prior to May 12, 1997, the Portfolio's name was The Non-U.S. Equity
Portfolio. 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 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
exist 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
31
<PAGE>
THE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
APRIL 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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)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 become 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 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, 1997, the Portfolio had open forward foreign currency contracts as
follows:

e)Futures -- A futures contract is an agreement to purchase/sell a specified
quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified future date or to
make/receive a cash payment based on the value of a securities index. The
price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the
Portfolio enters into the contract. Upon entering into such a contract the
Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or
securities equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the
exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Portfolio agrees to receive from
or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in
the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as
"variation margin" and are recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized gains
or losses. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized
gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at
the time it was opened and the value at the time when it was closed. The
Portfolio invests in futures contracts solely for the purpose of hedging
its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Portfolio intends to
purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing
market interest rates. The use of futures transactions involves the risk
of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts,
interest rates and the underlying hedged assets and the possible inability
of counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts. Futures transactions
during the six months ended April 30, 1997 are summarized as follows:

f)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, 1997, such fees amounted to $2,718,767.
b)The Portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
broker-dealer to serve as co-administrator and exclusive placement agent.
Under a Co-Administration Agreement, FDI provides administrative services
necessary for the operation 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 FDI. Under
the Co-Administration Agreement, the Portfolio has agreed to pay FDI fees
equal to its allocable share of 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, the Portfolio and other portfolios (the "Master
Portfolios") in which The JPM Pierpont Funds and The JPM Institutional
Funds invest, JPM Series Trust and JPM Series Trust II. For the six months
ended April 30, 1997, the fee for these services amounted to $11,466.
On November 15, 1996, The JPM Advisor Funds terminated operations and were
being liquidated. Subsequent to that date, the net assets of The JPM
Advisor Funds are no longer included in the calculation of the allocation
of FDI's fees.
c)The Portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible for overseeing
certain aspects of the administration and operation of the Portfolio.
Under the Services 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 and JPM Series Trust in accordance with the following annual
schedule: 0.09% on the first $7 billion of their aggregate average daily
net assets and 0.04% of their aggregate average daily net assets in excess
of $7 billion, less the complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The portion of
this charge paid by the Portfolio is determined by the proportionate share
that its net assets bear to the net assets of the Master Portfolios, other
investors in the Master Portfolios for which Morgan provides similar
services, The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds and JPM
Series Trust. For the six months ended April 30, 1997, the fee for these
services amounted to $142,655.
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 $16,371 for the six months ended April 30, 1997.
e)An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
a Trustee of The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, the
Master Portfolios, and JPM Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses
shown in the financial statements represent the Portfolio's allocated
portion of the total fees and expenses. Prior to April 1, 1997, the
aggregate annual Trustee Fee was $65,000. 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
