LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE PIERPONT TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND
June 15, 1995
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to report that, for the six months ended April 30, 1995, The
Pierpont Treasury Money Market Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Donoghue
U.S. Treasury & Repo Money Market Fund Average. The Fund returned 2.66% versus a
benchmark return of 2.48%. We believe the Portfolio's conservative strategy and
security selection contributed to the Fund's return for the period and has
helped it to consistently outperform its benchmark since its inception on
January 4, 1993 (see table on page 4).
The Fund's net asset value remained $1.00 per share. The Fund's net assets were
approximately $155.1 million at the end of the reporting period. The net assets
of The Treasury Money Market Portfolio, in which the Fund invests, totaled
approximately $244.5 million on April 30, 1995.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Yields rose on Treasuries of all maturities after the Federal Reserve raised the
Federal funds rate by 0.75% at the end of 1994. The difference or "spread" in
yield between overnight and one-year money market instruments remained wide, as
investors continued to anticipate further Federal Reserve interest rate
increases.
The spread between short- and longer-term issues narrowed when investors became
convinced that any further Federal Reserve action might remain on hold for the
rest of the year. Gross Domestic Product data at April month end confirmed that
economic growth remained slow, and we expected growth to continue to be below
average for the second quarter of 1995 -- an expectation that has been met. In
addition, U.S. Treasury purchases by foreign central banks decreased as the
dollar stabilized.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
Morgan systematically draws upon proprietary economic research in order to
allocate assets and control the Portfolio's maturity structure. Our portfolio
managers actively allocate the Portfolio's investments among Treasury securities
and government repurchase agreements in order to increase the potential for
achieving higher returns.

<PAGE>
Given our expectation that further rate increases would be implemented by the
Federal Reserve during the fourth quarter of 1994, we positioned the Portfolio
defensively with a shorter target average life of 30 days relative to Donoghue's
average maturity of 36 days. In general, shorter maturity securities
outperformed longer-term instruments in the rising interest rate environment.
However, as rates began to stabilize during the first quarter of 1995, we
extended the Portfolio's target average life to 45 days, which we view as
neutral for the Portfolio. In April, we extended the target average life again,
to a range of 45 to 50 days, as it appeared there would not be any near-term
tightening by the Federal Reserve.
The Portfolio's allocation to repurchase agreements helped performance during
the period by providing attractive yields.
INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
With Treasuries of all maturities yielding less than overnight repurchase
agreements, we continue to maintain a barbell structure in the Portfolio, which
means that investments were concentrated in both shorter-term instruments (such
as overnight repurchase agreements) and in longer-term issues having maturities
of approximately one year. If the dollar remains stable and foreign central bank
buying diminishes, we would expect the spread in yield between short-coupon
instruments and Treasury bills to narrow. In that event, the Portfolio would be
likely to sell a portion of its holdings of overnight repurchase agreements and
buy Treasury bills.
As always, we welcome your comments or questions. Please call J.P. Morgan Funds
Services toll free at (800) 521-5411.
Sincerely,
/S/ Evelyn E. Guernsey

Fund performance
EXAMINING PERFORMANCE
One way to look at performance is to review a fund's average annual total
return. This figure takes a fund's actual (or cumulative) return and shows you
what would have happened if the fund had achieved that return by performing at a
constant rate each year. Average annual total returns represent the average
yearly change of a fund's value over various time periods, typically 1, 5, or 10
years (or since inception). Total returns for periods of less than one year are
not annualized and provide a picture of how a fund has performed over the short
term.

you longer. Morgan offers an IRA Rollover plan that helps you to build well-
balanced long-term investment portfolios, diversified across a wide array of
mutual funds. From money markets to emerging markets, The Pierpont Funds provide

is a tax-deferred pension plan that can allow you to contribute the lesser of
$30,000 or 25% of your annual earned gross compensation. The Pierpont Funds can

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Pierpont Treasury Money Market Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of The
Pierpont Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"). The Trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced
operations on January 4, 1993.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The Treasury Money Market
Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a diversified open-end management investment
company having the same investment objectives as the Fund. The value of such
investment reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the
Portfolio (64% at April 30, 1995). 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 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)All the Fund's net investment income is declared as dividends daily and
paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders of net realized capital gain,
if any, are declared and paid annually.
d)The Fund incurred organization expenses in the amount of $73,309. These
costs were deferred and are being amortized by the Fund on a straight-line
basis over a five-year period from the commencement of operations.
e)Each series of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for federal
income tax purposes. The Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its income,
including net realized capital gains, if any, within the prescribed time
periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is
necessary.
f)Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to any two or more funds in
the Trust are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund in
the Trust, except where allocations of direct expenses to each fund can
otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are
charged to that fund.
g)For United States Federal income tax purposes the Fund had a capital loss
carryforward at October 31,1994 of $4,893 which will expire in the year
2002. No capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders
until future net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a)The Trust retains Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature") to
serve as Administrator and Distributor. Signature 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 Signature. The
agreement provides for a fee to be paid to Signature at an annual rate
determined by the following schedule: 0.04% of the first $1 billion of the
aggregate average daily net assets of the Trust, as well as two other
affiliated fund families for which Signature acts as administrator, 0.032%
of the next $2 billion of such net assets, 0.024% of the next $2 billion
of such net assets, and 0.016% of such net assets in excess of $5 billion.
The daily equivalent of the fee rate is applied daily to the net assets of
the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 1995, Signature's fee for
these services amounted to $18,532.
b)The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has a Financial and Fund Accounting
Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty Trust
Company of New York ("Morgan") under which Morgan receives a fee, based on
the percentage described below, for overseeing certain aspects of the
administration and operation of the Fund. The Services Agreement is also
designed to provide an expense limit for certain expenses of the Fund. If
total expenses of the Fund, excluding the shareholder servicing fee, the
fund services fee and amortization of organization expenses, exceed the
expense limit of 0.047% of the Fund's average daily net assets, Morgan
will reimburse the Fund for the excess expense amount and receive no fee.
Should such expenses be less than the expense limit, Morgan's fee would be
limited to the difference between such expenses and the fee calculated
under the Services Agreement. For the six months ended April 30, 1995,
Morgan agreed to reimburse the Fund $51,784 for excess expenses. In
addition to the expenses that Morgan assumes under the Services Agreement,
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 0.40% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund through October 31, 1995. For the six
months ended April 30, 1995, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Fund
$32,460 for expenses which exceeded this limit.
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 may be paid monthly at an
annual rate of 0.18% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to and
including $1.5 billion and 0.15% of any excess over $1.5 billion. For the
six months ended April 30, 1995, the fee for these services amounted to
$119,100.
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 are the sole shareholders of Group. The Fund's allocated
portion of Group's costs in performing its services amounted to $7,184 for
the six months ended April 30, 1995.
e)An aggregate annual fee of $65,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
a Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds and their
corresponding Portfolios. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses shown in the
financial statements represent the Fund's allocated portion of the total
fees and expenses. Prior to April 1, 1995, the aggregate annual Trustee
Fee was $55,000. The Trustee who serves as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of these Funds and Portfolios also serves as Chairman of Group and
received compensation and employee benefits from Group in his role as
Group's Chairman. The allocated portion of such compensation and benefits
included in the Fund Services Fee shown in the financial statements was
$800.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Treasury Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Act") as a no-load,
diversified, open-end management investment company which was organized as a
trust under the laws of the State of New York. The Portfolio commenced
operations on January 4, 1993. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio.
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.
The Portfolio's custodian or designated subcustodians, as the case may be,
under triparty repurchase agreements 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)Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment
income consists of interest income, which includes the amortization of
premiums and discounts. 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 subject to
taxation 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.
d)The Portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $27,491.
These costs were deferred and are being amortized by the Portfolio on a
straight-line basis over a five-year period from the commencement of
operations.

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 0.20%
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 April 30, 1995, this
fee amounted to $225,545.
b)The Portfolio has retained Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc.
("Signature") to serve as Administrator and exclusive placement agent.
Signature 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
Portfolio's officers affiliated with Signature. The agreement provides for
a fee to be paid to Signature at an annual fee rate determined by the
following schedule: 0.01% of the first $1 billion of the aggregate average
daily net assets of the Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to the
Administrative Services Agreement 0.008% of the next $2 billion of such
net assets, 0.006% of the next $2 billion of such net assets, and 0.004%
of such net assets in excess of $5 billion. The daily equivalent of the
fee rate is applied to the daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six
months ended April 30, 1995, Signature's fee for these services amounted
to $7,624.
c)The Portfolio has a Financial and Fund Accounting Services Agreement
("Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan receives a fee,
based on the percentages described below, for overseeing certain aspects
of the administration and operation of the Portfolio. The Services
Agreement is also designed to provide an expense limit for certain
expenses of the Portfolio. If total expenses of the Portfolio, excluding
the advisory fee, custody expenses, fund services fee, amortization of
organization expenses, and brokerage costs, exceed the expense limit of
0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, Morgan will reimburse
the Portfolio for the excess expense amount and receive no fee. Should
such expenses be less than the expense limit, Morgan's fee would be
limited to the difference between such expenses and the fee calculated
under the Services Agreement. For the six months ended April 30, 1995,
Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Portfolio $1,599 for excess expenses.
In addition to the expenses that Morgan assumes under the Services
Agreement, Morgan has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Portfolio to the
extent necessary to maintain the total operating expenses of the Portfolio
at no more than 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio
through October 31, 1995. For the six months ended April 30, 1995 Morgan
has agreed to reimburse the Portfolio $75,491 for expenses which exceeded
this limit.
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 $11,953 for the six months ended April 30, 1995.
e)An aggregate annual fee of $65,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
a Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds and their
corresponding Portfolios. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses shown in the
financial statements represent the Fund's allocated portion of the total
fees and expenses. Prior to April 1, 1995, the aggregate annual Trustee
Fee was $55,000. The Trustee who serves as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of these Funds and Portfolios also serves as Chairman of Group and
received compensation and employee benefits from Group in his role as
Group's Chairman. The allocated portion of such compensation and benefits
included in the Fund Services Fee shown in the financial statements was
$1,400.
