LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL SERVICE 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 Service Tax Exempt
Money Market Fund posted a 1.77%* return, while its benchmark, the IBC Tax Free
Money Fund Average posted a gain of 1.53%.

The fund maintained a stable $1.00 net asset value over the period. On February
28, 1998, the net assets of the fund were $17,910 while the net assets of the
Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio, in which the fund invests, were
$1,856,276,563. Dividends of approximately $0.01 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

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.

  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. 


                                                                               3

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 SERVICE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FEBRUARY 28, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The J.P. Morgan Institutional Service 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
November 4, 1997. Prior to January 1, 1998 the trust's and the fund's names were
The JPM Institutional Funds and The JPM Institutional Service 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 (Less than 1%
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 other investors in the portfolio at the time
      of such determination.
 
   c) Substantially all the fund's net investment income and net realized
      capital gains, 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 $11,000. Morgan
      Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") has paid 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 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, on behalf of the fund, has retained Funds Distributor, Inc.
      ("FDI"), a registered broker-dealer, to serve as co-administrator and
      distributor for the fund. 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
      period November 4, 1997 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 1998,
      no fee was incurred for these services.
 
   b) The trust, on behalf of the fund, 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
      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 the 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 master portfolios, other investors in
      the master portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services, and J.P.
      Morgan Series Trust. For the period November 4, 1997 (commencement of
      operations) to February 28, 1998, the fee for these services amounted to
      $3.
 
      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 0.60% of the
      average daily net assets of the fund through August 31, 1998. For the
      period November 4, 1997 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 1998,
      Morgan has agreed to reimburse the fund $27,409 for expenses under this
      agreement.
 
   c) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has a Shareholder Servicing agreement
      with Morgan to provide account administration and personal account
      maintenance services to fund shareholders. 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 0.05% of the average daily net assets of
      the fund. For the period November 4, 1997 (commencement of operations) to
      February 28, 1998, the fee for these services amounted to $5.
 
                                                                              13

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   d) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has a Service Plan with respect to fund
      shares which authorizes it to compensate Service Organizations for
      providing account administration and other services to their customers who
      are beneficial owners of such shares. The fund will enter into agreements
      with Service Organizations which purchase shares on behalf of their
      customers ("Service agreements"). The Service agreements provide that the
      fund pay Service Organizations a fee which is computed daily and paid
      monthly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets
      of the fund with respect to the shares of the fund attributable to or held
      in the name of the Service Organization for its customers. For the period
      November 4, 1997 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 1998, the
      fee for these services amounted to $28.
 
   e) 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. For the
      period November 4, 1997 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 1998,
      there was no fee under this agreement.
 
   f) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
      a trustee of the trust, the J.P. Morgan Funds, the master portfolios, and
      J.P. Morgan Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses shown in the
      financial statements represents the fund's allocated portion of these
      total fees and expenses. The trust'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. For the period
      November 4, 1997 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 1998, no
      portion of this fee was allocated to the fund.

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.
