LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL GLOBAL STRATEGIC
INCOME FUND
June 1, 2000
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to report that the J.P. Morgan Institutional Global Strategic
Income Fund delivered a strong total return of 2.69% for the six months ended
April 30, 2000. The fund handily exceeded its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index, as well as the Lipper Multi-Sector Income Funds Average,
which returned 1.41% and 1.24%, respectively.
The fund's net asset value on April 30 was $9.25 per share, decreasing from
$9.35 per share on October 31, 1999, after paying an income dividend of nearly
$0.35 per share over the six-month period. The fund's net assets stood at
approximately $159.7 million on April 30, while the total net assets of The
Global Strategic Income Portfolio, in which the fund invests, totaled
approximately $166.8 million.
Included in this report is an interview with Mark E. Smith, managing director,
and a member of the portfolio management team. This interview is designed to
reflect what happened during the reporting period, as well as provide an outlook
for the months ahead.
As chairman and president of Asset Management Services, we thank you for
investing with J.P. Morgan. Should you have any comments or questions, please
telephone 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 one, five,
or ten 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 MARK E. SMITH, managing director and member
of the portfolio management team of The Global Strategic Income Portfolio in
which the fund invests. He leads the investment team with responsibility for
J.P. Morgan Investment Management's global extended markets and extended active
fixed income investment strategies. Prior to joining J.P. Morgan Investment in
1994, Mark was with Allied Signal Inc. for ten years, where he was an internal
fixed income portfolio manager. For five years, he had similar responsibilities
at Armco Inc. Mark is a graduate of Ohio Northern University and earned his
M.B.A. at the University of Cincinnati. This interview was conducted on May 11,
2000, and reflects his views on that date.
TO GET RIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF EVERYTHING ELSE, HOW DID YOU DO OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS, AND HOW DID YOU DO IT?
MS: We gained 2.69% for the six months ended April 30, significantly
outperforming the aggregate fixed income market return of 1.41% over this time
period. As for how we did it, I'd like to put things in perspective by briefly
examining the extraordinarily turbulent, perhaps unprecedented, environment for
fixed income investments since late last year.
In its ongoing efforts to fight inflation and slow our speeding economy, the
Federal Reserve Board has raised short-term interest rates no less than five
times, in quarter point increments, since June of last year. Over the last six
months alone, interest rates have risen 83 basis points, as measured by the
6-month Treasury bill. This rising interest rate environment has, in itself,
limited the returns that could be achieved in fixed income markets.
Also during this period, the government announced and President Clinton made
clear in his State of the Union address, that a significant portion of the
budget surplus, both now and in the future, would be dedicated to paying down
the country's long term debt. And, in fact, the Treasury recently affirmed that
it will retire $30 billion in debt this year. The net effect of this effort was
to reduce long term rates by about 19 basis points over the past six months.
Rapidly rising short rates, coupled with falling long rates, inevitably resulted
in a severely inverted yield curve, one that persists to this day. So, over the
past six months, we experienced an unusually turbulent interest rate
environment, one where returns varied widely depending on where one was invested
along the yield curve at any given point in time.
Added to this already incendiary mix were very strong GDP numbers for the fourth
quarter of last year and this year's first quarter, which fueled concerns that
the Fed would continue to raise rates, on the order of 50 basis points, at its
next meeting in May. Marginal investors, looking to get out of the way of what
they saw as greater risk going forward, became much more risk averse, which they
demonstrated by selling just about any fixed income asset - mortgages,
corporates, high yield - that wasn't a U.S. government asset.
3
<PAGE>
The result was that, while the aggregate market returned 1.52% over the past six
months, corporates returned essentially nothing, mortgages trailed the overall
marketplace by 25-30 basis points, and high yield fixed income assets were
negative.
For fixed income investors, it was like being on a battlefield where one had to
estimate when and where the bombs were going to land. If you chose correctly,
then you weren't there when they landed. If not, you just blew up, as several
did.
This has been a difficult time period for our strategy, which for the most part
seeks to take advantage of the higher yielding sectors. Despite weakness among
high yields, we managed to generate significant excess returns in a market that
didn't want to give them to you. We did this by being very tactical as to which
investments we made.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "TACTICAL" IN THIS INSTANCE?
MS: We were tactical in the sense that we were very, very careful about which
sectors we wanted to be in and, importantly, when we wanted to be in them. The
best example would be in the emerging market debt sector.
During the fourth quarter of last year, we held about 20% of the portfolio in
emerging market debt assets. Early in the first quarter of 2000, our analysis
indicated that this market had gotten ahead of itself as far as pricing was
concerned, so we reduced our allocation to 16%. Then, when we saw prices
beginning to erode in late January and move toward levels we thought were
attractive, we increased our exposure to nearly 25%. This move proved to be
fortuitous as we received the benefit of a very strong February and early March.
So, timing and accurate portfolio weightings were critical to getting the most
from this kind of debt during this period.
Also strongly contributing to returns was our decision to overweight certain
elements of the mortgage and non-dollar sectors. Both of these added
significantly to overall results during a period when corporates, high yield and
other sectors came under extreme pressure. Here and elsewhere, we were able to
tactically allocate away from the weakest performing sectors, while enjoying the
benefits of those that outperformed.
YOU BRING UP EMERGING MARKET DEBT, A FAIRLY BROAD UNIVERSE TO BE SURE.
SPECIFICALLY, WHICH EMERGING MARKET SECTORS WERE BETTER AND WHY?
MS: The best place to be invested in emerging markets during the latter part of
last year through March 2000 was in the Latin American countries, particularly
Mexico and Brazil. Mexico achieved investment grade status on March 7, when
Moody's upgraded its debt to "BBB" credit quality - well ahead of schedule, I
might add. As it entered the investment grade universe, it captured many new
international investors, particularly those who are limited to investment grade
debt. On top of that, it brought with it the perception that Brazil was due for
a substantial upgrade, perhaps in a year or two. As a consequence, Brazil was
also a very strong investment during the early part of this year.
4
<PAGE>
We took strong large positions in both of these assets before many others and
thus benefited as their value began to be realized. In fact, Mexico has been a
sizeable holding for a significant period, as we had been anticipating its
eventual upgrade.
WHAT ABOUT OTHER EMERGING MARKET DEBT SECTORS?
MS: We steered away from Asia a little bit, owing largely to volatility in the
Japanese economy, which tends to drive the region as a whole. On the other hand,
we saw opportunity in certain eastern European countries, such as Bulgaria. In
fact, you can go all the way to the Middle East and find some value. We consider
Qatar, for example, to be a high quality asset in the emerging debt market, one
that represents a fairly stable position.
AND, WESTERN EUROPE?
MS: There, we were concerned about the likelihood of rising interest rates. This
said, they shouldn't rise as much or as quickly as in the U.S.; therefore, we
think there is some marginal opportunity in non-dollar denominated assets hedged
backed into the U.S. dollar. Unfortunately, the euro has come under such
sufficient pressure that the European debt market has not been a great
investment in recent months.
CLOSER TO HOME, GIVEN THE INVERSION OF THE YIELD CURVE, THE PROSPECT OF A
SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL RISE IN SHORT-TERM RATES AND SO ON, HOW DO YOU FIND VALUE
IN THE DOMESTIC FIXED INCOME MARKETPLACE?
MS: With short-term rates rising and yield spreads widening, one has to be very
astute in picking the part of the yield curve in which to invest. For example,
in this particular environment, you want to be out a little bit longer than the
front end of the yield curve. You also have to be fairly flexible about the
timing of your entry into some of these sectors, particularly high yield and
other sectors that have come under significant pressure.
Yield spreads have widened dramatically within the high yield market and the
investment grade corporate market, yet they've reached levels that ultimately
look to be very attractive. Having said that, we believe there will continue to
be additional pressure on yield spreads. For our part, we feel there is value
building within these sectors and are looking for the entry point to get back
into them in a significant way, but we feel that point has not yet arrived.
IS THERE ANY VALUE IN THE SPREAD SECTORS AT PRESENT?
MS: As a long-term investor, looking at a time frame of a year to 18 months, we
think that this sector can be a great investment. However, if you're looking at
the next three months, we think you need to be very cautious about how you
enter. We've been focusing on the more liquid instruments that enable us to
transition and take advantage of the coming opportunity. An example in the high
yield market, one that we are actively pursuing, might be in telecommunications
and cable industry debt. We see these as fairly stable industries to be in when
the environment is volatile. These assets are currently priced at very
attractive
5
<PAGE>
levels for the long-term investor, and may provide better future returns than
some other sectors. So, by being very selective about the assets we choose
within these markets, we can do an effective job of investing even now. But, we
believe the best opportunities are still a few months away.
IS THIS THE SAME SITUATION WITH MORTGAGES?
MS: Mortgages are a little bit different animal in that you have extremely high
credit quality, so the credit risk is not an issue. They have been hurt recently
by speculation about whether Washington will withdraw its support from the
quasi-governmental agencies - Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and so on. We don't see
this happening, but it's a good time to take advantage of today's widened
spreads to buy some excellent mortgage products.
HOW IS THE PORTFOLIO ALLOCATED NOW, AND HOW MIGHT YOU SEE THAT CHANGING, IF AT
ALL, OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS OR SO?
MS: Backing up what I just said, we now have about 27% of the portfolio in the
mortgage market. International is the second highest allocation, where we have
25% of the portfolio in hedged, non-dollar assets. There, we are seeking the
highest quality assets and the least exposure to credit risk, if you will. The
high yield market would normally represent about 23% of the portfolio, given the
strategy we employ. However, for various reasons already mentioned and others,
we've elected to reduce this exposure to 19% for the time being, at least until
some of the pressure they've been experiencing relents. We have reduced our
emerging market debt exposure to 17% of the portfolio, because there is more
incremental risk now that the stock markets have come under severe pressure and
the Fed is strongly hinting at higher rates. We are once again awaiting the
opportunity to reenter on the expectation that yield spreads in that sector will
eventually back off. And, in the corporate market, we're carrying a 12%
allocation, which reflects our view that investment grade corporates don't
provide a significant opportunity right now. Again, we expect this sector to
come back soon, but not yet.
FINALLY, GIVEN THE TIME FRAME YOU ARE REPORTING ON, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I
DIDN'T ASK WHAT IMPACT Y2K HAD ON FIXED INCOME MARKETS.
MS: That's a great question! It meant something if you were a fixed income
investor in June of 1999, because the market realigned and reassessed itself
then in fear of that event. But, as you roll through the last three months of
1999, the market realized that Y2K was going to be a non-event, that it was not
going to have an impact on the ability of securities to settle, on the ability
of economies to sustain themselves, or on the ability of businesses to operate.
As that realization took hold in the marketplace, you saw extraordinary
repricing of those assets where Y2K-related fears had been most significant. A
good deal of that repricing took place in Latin America, where it helped
contribute to the region's fourth-quarter gains in fixed income assets. In the
end, people got out ahead of Y2K, fixed their computer problems and focused on
business as usual, so it was not a problem once this much anticipated moment
finally arrived and was left behind.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
APRIL 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
J.P. Morgan Institutional Global Strategic Income Fund (the "fund") is a
separate series of 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 March 17, 1997.
The fund invests all of its investable assets in The Global Strategic Income
Portfolio (the "portfolio"), a no-load, 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 (96% at
April 30, 2000). 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 1a 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 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) Substantially all the fund's net investment income is declared as
dividends daily and paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders of net
realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually.
d) The portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $30,864.
These costs were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over a five-year period from the commencement of operations of the
portfolio.
e) 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.
f) The fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes
and 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.

g) For federal income tax purposes, the fund had a capital loss carryforward
at October 31, 1999 of $13,638,588, of which $8,890,820 expires in the
year 2006 and $4,747,768 expires in the year 2007. To the extent that this
capital loss is used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that
gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.
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 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 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
April 30, 2000, the fee for these services amounted to $971.
b) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has an Administrative Services Agreement
(the "Services Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
("Morgan"), a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co., Incorporated
("J.P. 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 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 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 April 30, 2000, the fee for these services amounted
to $20,034.
In addition, J.P. 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
0.65% of the average daily net assets of the fund through February 28,
2001. This reimbursement arrangement can be changed or terminated at any
time after February 28, 2001 at the option of J.P. Morgan. For the six
months ended April 30, 2000, J.P. Morgan has agreed to reimburse the fund
$141,824 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 service 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 0.10% of the average daily net assets of
the fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2000, the fee for these
services amounted to $81,396.

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
$1,390 for the six months ended April 30, 2000.
e) 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 the 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. The allocated portion
of such compensation and benefits included in the Fund Services Fee shown
in the financial statements was $300.
3. TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

From time to time, the fund may have a concentration of several shareholders
holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of
these shareholders could have a material impact on the fund and the portfolio.
4. AGREEMENT
The trust, on behalf of the fund, together with other affiliated investment
companies (the "funds"), entered into a revolving line of credit agreement (the
"Agreement") on May 26, 1999, with unaffiliated lenders. Additionally, since all
of the investable assets of the fund are in the portfolio, the portfolio is
party to certain covenants of the Agreement. The Agreement expired on May 23,
2000, however, the fund as party to the Agreement has renewed the Agreement and
will continue its participation therein for an additional 364 days until
May 23, 2001. The maximum borrowing under the Agreement is $150,000,000. The
purpose of the agreement is to provide another alternative for settling large
fund shareholder redemptions. Interest on any such borrowings outstanding will
approximate market rates. The funds pay a commitment fee at an annual rate of
0.085% on the unused portion of the committed amount. This is allocated to the
funds in accordance with procedures established by their respective trustees.
There were no outstanding borrowings pursuant to the Agreement at April 30,
2000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
APRIL 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Global Strategic Income Portfolio (the "portfolio") is one of two subtrusts
(portfolios) comprising Series Portfolio II. Series Portfolio II 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 on January 9, 1997. The portfolio commenced
operations on March 17, 1997 and received a contribution of certain assets and
liabilities including securities, with a value of $41,072,730 on that date from
the J.P. Morgan Institutional Global Strategic Income Fund 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 fixed income securities of
foreign and domestic issuers. The Declaration of Trust permits the trustees to
issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the portfolio.
The portfolio may have elements of risk not typically associated with
investments in the United States due to concentrated investments in a limited
number of countries or regions which may vary throughout the year. Such
concentrations may subject the portfolio to additional risks resulting from
political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible
imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions
affecting such countries or regions which could cause the securities and their
markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those comparable to the
United States. The ability of the issuers of debt, asset-backed, and mortgage
securities held by the portfolio to meet their obligations may be affected by
economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The value
of asset-backed and mortgage securities can be significantly affected by changes
in interest rates or rapid principal payments including pre-payments.
A percentage (10.3% at April 30, 2000) of the investments of the portfolio may
be highly illiquid, and there can be no assurance that the portfolio will be
able to realize such investments in a timely manner.
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 portfolio values securities that are listed on an exchange using
prices supplied daily by an independent pricing service that are based on
the last traded price on a national securities exchange or in the absence
of recorded trades, at the readily available mean of the bid and asked
prices on such exchange, if such exchange or market constitutes the
broadest and most representative market for the security. Securities
listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last traded price or, in
the absence of recorded trades, at the readily available mean of the bid
and asked prices on such exchange available before the time when the net
assets are valued. Independent pricing service procedures may also include
the use of prices based on yields or prices of securities of comparable
quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers,
operating data, and general market conditions. Unlisted securities are
valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the
over-the-counter market provided by a principal market maker or dealer. If
prices are not supplied by the portfolio's independent
36
<PAGE>
THE GLOBAL STRATEGIC INCOME PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
APRIL 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pricing service or principal market maker or dealer, such securities are
priced using fair values in accordance with procedures adopted by the
portfolio's Trustees. All short-term securities with a remaining maturity
of sixty days or less are valued using 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.
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.
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
foreign currency contracts are translated at the prevailing exchange rates
at the end of the period. Purchases, sales, income and expenses are
translated at the exchange rates 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. 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 as of 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 incurred organization expenses in the amount of $23,505.
These costs were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over five-year period from the commencement of operations of the
portfolio.
e) Expenses incurred by Series Portfolio II with respect to any two or more
portfolios in the Series Portfolio are allocated in proportion to the net
assets of each portfolio in Series Portfolio II, except where allocations
of direct expenses to each portfolio can otherwise be made fairly.
Expenses directly attributable to a portfolio are charged to that
portfolio.
37

THE GLOBAL STRATEGIC INCOME PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
APRIL 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
f) 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 and to enhance returns. A
forward foreign currency 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 at the current foreign exchange
rates, and the change in the market value is recorded by the portfolio as
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward foreign currency
contract translations.
g) 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
liquid 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 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 or securities movements. The use of
futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation of
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 their contracts.
h) The portfolio may enter into commitments to buy and sell investments to
settle on future dates as part of its normal investment activities. These
commitments are reported at market value in the financial statements.
Credit risk exists on these commitments to the extent of any unrealized
gains on the underlying securities purchased and any unrealized losses on
the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to
the same extent as if the security were owned on a settled basis and gains
and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. However, during
the commitment period, these investments earn no interest or dividends.
i) 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 portfolio earns foreign in come which
may be subject to foreign withholding taxes at various rates.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a) The portfolio has an Investment Advisor Agreement with J.P. Morgan
Investment Management, Inc. ("JPMIM"), an affiliate of Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") and wholly-owned subsidiary of J.P.
Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J.P. Morgan"). Under the terms of the
agreement, the portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.45% of the
portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended April 30,
2000, such fees amounted to $385,649.
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 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 April 30, 2000, the fee for
these services amounted to $604.
c) The portfolio 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 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
