LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL TAX EXEMPT MONEY
MARKET FUND
April 6, 1998
Dear Shareholder:
The previous six-month period was dominated by events in Asia, which rippled
through U.S. financial markets. In the midst of the Asian crisis, investors
looked to money market funds as a traditional safe haven. The subsequent demand
for money market instruments rose, causing yields on short-term debt instruments
to fall. During this period, the J.P. Morgan Institutional Tax Exempt Money
Market Fund posted a 1.72% return, while its benchmark, the IBC Tax Free Money
Fund Average posted a gain of 1.53%. The fund's current 7-day yield, at 3.36%
translates to a pre-tax equivalent yield of 5.56%, assuming a 39.6% tax rate.
The fund maintained a stable $1.00 net asset value over the period. On February
28, 1998, the net assets of the fund were $641,397,667 while the net assets of
the Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio, in which the fund invests, were
$1,856,276,563. Dividends of approximately $0.02 per share were paid,
substantially all of which is exempt from Federal income taxes.
This report includes a discussion with Dan Mulvey, the portfolio manager
primarily responsible for the Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio. In this
interview, Dan talks about the events of the previous six months that had the
greatest effect on the portfolio, and also discusses how our investment strategy
was used to protect assets in a difficult environment. We hope this helps you to
understand some of the factors that affect how your money is managed.
As chairman and president of Asset Management Services, we appreciate your
investment in the fund. If you have any comments or questions, please call your
Morgan representative or J.P. Morgan Funds Services at (800) 766-7722.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Ramon de Oliveira /s/ Keith M. Schappert

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
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. 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 DAN MULVEY, vice president, who is
responsible for managing The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio, in which the
fund invests. Dan joined Morgan in September 1991 after six years at Equitable
Life where he was a trader for money market, government, and corporate
securities. He earned a BA in economics from the University of Illinois and an
MBA from Fordham University. This interview was conducted on April 3, 1998, and
represents Dan's views on that date.
WHAT FACTORS HAVE MOST INFLUENCED THE TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET OVER THE LAST SIX
MONTHS?
DM: The most important event during the six-month period was the turmoil in the
Asian markets and the ripple effect it had in the U.S. markets. Investors sought
safety and created a strong bid in the front of the U.S. fixed-income market. We
saw tremendous demand for paper in the tax-exempt market, as tax-exempt money
funds made sense as a safe haven versus Treasuries for investors in the highest
tax bracket. This resulted in asset growth for the fund. At the same time, the
supply of money market issues remained the same. This was evident in January
when there was a scarcity of supply, causing rates to fall to a low level.
Another important effect of the Asian crisis was a change in the stance of the
Federal Reserve. Prior to the fallout from Asia, the Fed seemed poised to
tighten monetary policy. Currently, the Asian effect seems to have temporarily
taken the Fed out of the equation.
THE FUND OUTPERFORMED THE IBC TAX FREE MONEY FUND AVERAGE AND THE LIPPER
INSTITUTIONAL TAX EXEMPT MONEY FUND AVERAGE FOR THE PERIOD. TO WHAT DO YOU
ATTRIBUTE THIS PERFORMANCE?
DM: The portfolio fared especially well when you take into consideration the
drop in rates during the period. One reason is that, despite the expectation of
Fed tightening, we maintained a slightly longer-than-average maturity in the
portfolio. However, the strong performance was a function of our liquidity
management. We were able to maintain enough liquidity in the portfolio to
reinvest at times when rates moved temporarily higher, and avoid the
reinvestment periods when there was less supply and thus lower rates.
HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT MANAGING LIQUIDITY IN THE PORTFOLIO?
DM: It has a lot to do with the structure of the portfolio. We try to "smooth
out" maturity dates in the portfolio so we don't have clusters of securities
maturing at times we know will not be favorable for reinvestment. Conversely, we
try to have more cash on hand if we are anticipating a period that will be
favorable for reinvestment. It also helps that we have a well-coordinated effort
with our sales group and we're able to identify early what our cash flows will
be. We've found that managing a portfolio's cash flow is as important as
managing the underlying investments.

<PAGE>
December would be a good example of how this worked in the portfolio's favor.
Generally speaking, investors tend to pull out of money funds in December,
putting upward pressure on rates. We were prepared for this, and were able to
take advantage of the relatively lofty rates we saw this December. In addition,
the portfolio experienced several strong inflows in December, which was a big
help in smoothing things out.
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS? AND HOW WILL YOU BE POSITIONING THE
PORTFOLIO?
DM: Currently, we're caught between technical factors that favor being fully
invested and fundamental concerns about the strength of the U.S. economy. There
is underlying strength in the economy that could ultimately warrant another
tightening of monetary policy by the Fed. However, there is still a tremendous
amount of liquidity in the system. A lot of money is looking to be put to work
in the front of the market -- and that should keep rates fairly stable. All
things considered, we're not expecting too much one way or the other in the
front end of the fixed-income market, and we are leaning toward a fully invested
posture for the portfolio.
In general, we will try to avoid being caught with excess cash when there's a
large amount of demand and not a lot of paper out there to reinvest in. We will
also try to stagger our maturities, avoiding problematic reinvestment periods
such as June, when seasonal pressures tend to push rates lower. We are likely to
further diversify the asset mix, adding more commercial paper and notes whenever
they're attractive relative to shorter-term variable-rate demand notes. In
short, we want to keep a balanced mix of maturities and security types.

<PAGE>
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
AVERAGE MATURITY: The weighted average time to maturity of the entire portfolio
with the weights equal to the percentage of the portfolio invested in each
security (see Maturity).
CREDIT RATING: The rating assigned to a bond or note by independent rating
agencies such as Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service. In
evaluating creditworthiness, these agencies assess the issuer's present
financial condition and future ability and willingness to make principal and
interest payments when due.
CREDIT RISK: Financial risk that an obligation will not be paid and a loss will
result.
LETTER OF CREDIT: Instrument or document issued by a bank guaranteeing the
payment of a customer's drafts up to a stated amount and eliminating the
seller's risk.
MATURITY: The date on which the life of a financial instrument ends through cash
or physical settlement or expiration with no value or the date a security comes
due and fully payable.
VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTE: Note representing borrowings that is payable on
demand and that bears interest tied to a base money market rate, usually the
bank prime rate. The rate on the note is adjusted upward or downward each time
the base rate changes.
YIELD: Coupon rate of interest on a bond divided by the purchase price. As a
bond's price falls, its yield rises and vice versa.
YIELD CURVE: A graph showing the term structure or level of interest rates
ranging from the shortest to the longest maturities. The resulting curve shows
if short-term interest rates are higher or lower than long-term rates. Normally,
the longer the bond, the higher the yield it offers, resulting in a positive
yield curve. An inverted yield curve can occur when there are supply/demand
imbalances for various maturities, which results in short-term rates at higher
levels than longer-term instruments.
YIELD SPREAD: The difference in yield between different types of securities. For
example, if a Treasury bond is yielding 6.00% and a municipal is yielding 5.00%,
the yield spread is 1.00% or 100 basis points.

J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FEBRUARY 28, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The J.P. Morgan Institutional Tax Exempt Money Market fund (the "fund") is a
separate series of the J.P. Morgan 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 July 12, 1993.
Prior to January 1, 1998 the Trust's and the fund's names were the JPM
Institutional Funds and The JPM Institutional Tax Exempt Money Market Fund,
respectively.
The fund invests all of its investable assets in The Tax Exempt Money Market
Portfolio (the "portfolio"), a diversified open-end management investment
company having the same investment objective as the fund. The value of such
investment included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects the
fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the portfolio (35% at
February 28, 1998). 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 gain and
loss and adjusts its investment in the portfolio each day. All the net
investment income and realized gain and loss of the portfolio is allocated
pro rata among the fund and the other investors in the portfolio at the
time of such determination.
c) Substantially all the Fund's net investment income and net realized
capital gain, if any, are declared as dividends daily and paid monthly.
Substantially all the realized net long-term capital gains, if any, of the
Fund are declared and paid on an annual basis, except that an additional
capital gains distribution may be made in a given year to the extent
necessary to avoid the imposition of federal excise tax on the Fund.
d) The fund incurred organization expenses in the amount of $58,457. Morgan
Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") has agreed to pay the
organization expenses of the fund. The fund has agreed to reimburse Morgan
for these costs which are being deferred and will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over a period not to exceed five years beginning with
the commencement of operations of the fund.
e) The fund 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
12
<PAGE>
J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
FEBRUARY 28, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tax is necessary. For federal income tax purposes as of August 31, 1997,
the fund incurred and elected to defer post-October losses of $2,877 until
the next taxable year. The fund had a capital loss carryforward at August
31, 1997 of $23,614, of which $2,363 expires in 2003, $20,127 expires in
2004, and $1,124 expires in 2005. To the extent that this capital loss is
used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains so
offset will not be distributed to shareholders.
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, on behalf of the fund, has retained Funds Distributor, Inc.
("FDI"), a registered broker-dealer, to serve as the fund's
co-administrator and distributor. Under a Co-Administration agreement
between FDI and the Trust on behalf of the fund, 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. 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, and certain
other investment companies subject to similar agreements with FDI. For the
six months ended February 28, 1998, the fee for these services amounted to
$5,050.
b) The Trust, on behalf of the fund, has 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 allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge. This charge is
calculated based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the
portfolio and the other portfolios in which the Trust and the J.P. Morgan
Funds invest (the "master portfolios") and J.P. Morgan 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 J.P. Morgan Funds, the master
portfolios, and other investors in the master portfolios for which Morgan
provides similar services, and J.P. Morgan Series Trust. For the six
months ended February 28, 1998, the fee for these services amounted to
$58,120.
Effective February 10, 1997, Morgan has agreed to waive its shareholder
servicing fee and reimburse the fund for the remainder of the fund's
expenses (excluding extraordinary expenses and expenses allocated to the
fund from the portfolio), thereby reducing current total operating
expenses of the fund. 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 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the fund. This
waiver and reimbursement

THE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FEBRUARY 28, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio (the "portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York on January 29, 1993. The portfolio commenced operations on
July 12, 1993 and received a contribution of certain assets and liabilities,
including securities, with a value of $955,814,753 on that date from The
Pierpont Tax Exempt Money Market Fund in exchange for a beneficial interest in
the portfolio. The portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high level
of current income exempt from federal income tax and maintain a high level of
liquidity. The Declaration of Trust permits the trustees to issue an unlimited
number of beneficial interests in the portfolio.
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) Investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
The amortized cost method of valuation values a security at its cost at
the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to
maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of
fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instruments.
b) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest
income, which includes the amortization of premiums and discounts, if any,
is recorded on an accrual basis. For financial and tax reporting purposes,
realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot
identification.
c) The portfolio intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. As such, each investor in the portfolio will be taxed on its
share of the portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended
that the portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor
in the portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code. The cost of securities is substantially the
same for book and tax purposes.
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 agreement,
the portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.20% of the portfolio's
average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.10% on any excess over $1
billion. For the six months ended February 28, 1998, this fee amounted to
$1,284,141.
b) The portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
broker-dealer, to serve as the co-administrator and exclusive placement
agent. Under a Co-Administration agreement between FDI and the portfolio,
FDI 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 officers
affiliated with FDI. 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
37
<PAGE>
THE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
FEBRUARY 28, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
amount allocable to the portfolio is based on the ratio of the portfolio's
net assets to the aggregate net assets of the portfolio and certain other
investment companies subject to similar agreements with FDI. For the six
months ended February 28, 1998, the fee for these services amounted to
$12,703.
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 allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge. This charge
is calculated based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the
portfolio and certain other portfolios for which Morgan acts as investment
advisor (the "master portfolios") and J.P. Morgan 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 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, and J.P.
Morgan Series Trust. For the six months ended February 28, 1998, the fee
for these services amounted to $236,899.
d) The portfolio has a Fund Services agreement with Pierpont Group, Inc.
("group") to assist the trustees in exercising their overall supervisory
responsibilities for the portfolio's affairs. The trustees of the
portfolio represent all the existing shareholders of group. The
portfolio's allocated portion of group's costs in performing its services
amounted to $21,641 for the six months ended February 28, 1998.
e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
a trustee of the J.P. Morgan Funds, J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds, the
master portfolios and J.P. Morgan Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and
Expenses shown in the financial statements represents 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 receives
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 $4,400.
