LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE JPM PIERPONT DIVERSIFIED FUND

August 6, 1997

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to report that, at a time when prices on U.S. bonds rebounded 
strongly and stocks worldwide continued to post impressive results, The 
JPM Pierpont Diversified Fund posted a high absolute total return of 20.52% for 
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. These results enabled the Fund to 
outperform its competitors as measured by the Lipper Balanced Fund Average, 
which returned 19.41% for the period. According to Lipper, this twelve-month 
total return placed the Fund:

- - Within the 37th percentile of a universe of 305 similar balanced funds for
  the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, and 

- - Within the 26th percentile of a universe of 161 similar balanced funds since 
  December 31, 1993, which is the first available point of comparison between 
  the Fund and its Lipper universe.

Key to the fiscal year in terms of investment strategy relative was our 
decision to maintain the Portfolio's overweighted position in U.S. bonds 
relative to the Diversified Benchmark.* This decision also meant 
under-weighting U.S. large cap equities, which Morgan's proprietary valuation 
analysis had identified as expensive. Regrettably, U.S. large cap equity 
prices soon outstripped their underlying fundamentals as investors, who were 
concerned that the Federal Reserve might have to additionally tighten 
monetary policy by raising short-term interest rates, narrowed performance 
leadership to the market's largest-capitalized stocks. These are the 
so-called "Nifty Fifty" defensive growth stocks within the S&P 500. Faced with 
such an environment, the Fund's one-year return lagged the 22.32% same-period 
results of the Fund's Diversified Benchmark. The Diversified Benchmark is an 
unmanaged index whose performance does not include fees or operating expenses 
and which is not available to individual or institutional investors.

The Fund's net asset value at its current fiscal year end was $13.89 per 
share, compared with $12.22 at June 30, 1996, after making distributions of 
$0.32 from ordinary income, $0.18 from short-term capital gains, and $0.22 
from long-term capital gains. In addition, the Fund's net assets grew from 
almost $53.2 million at June 30, 1996 to over $70.3 million at June 30, 1997. 
The net assets of The Diversified Portfolio, in which the Fund invests, rose 
from approximately $246 million at June 30, 1996 to over $307 million at June 
30, 1997.

Fund performance

EXAMINING PERFORMANCE

One way to evaluate a mutual fund's historical performance is to look at the 
growth of a hypothetical investment of $10,000. The chart at right shows that 
$10,000 invested in the Fund on September 30, 1993* would have grown to 
$16,392 at June 30, 1997. 

Another 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]          Following is an interview with GERALD H. OSTERBERG, who is a 
                 member of the portfolio management team for The Diversified 
                 Portfolio. Jerry heads Morgan's Balanced Accounts Group and 
                 has managed balanced accounts at the firm since 1981. Prior 
                 to 1981, he managed fixed income private placements at 
                 Morgan, and was assigned to fixed income administration prior 
                 to 1974. Jerry earned graduate school credits at St. John's 
                 and New York Universities, and holds a B.A. degree in 
                 Economics from the University of the City of New York. This 
                 interview was conducted on August 5, 1997 and reflects 
                 Jerry's views on that date.

THANKS TO A VERY ATTRACTIVE, AFTER-FEE TOTAL RETURN OF 20.52% FOR THE FISCAL 
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997, THE FUND HAS OUTPERFORMED SIMILAR FUNDS INCLUDED IN 
THE LIPPER BALANCED FUNDS UNIVERSE ON A ONE-YEAR, THREE-YEAR, AND SINCE-
INCEPTION BASIS. WHAT ARE WE DOING BETTER, IN YOUR VIEW, THAN OUR COMPETITORS? 

GHO:  We continue to have two main strengths across asset classes. The first is 
Morgan's proprietary fundamental research, which enables us to uncover 
attractively valued securities worldwide. The second is actively managed, 
disciplined portfolio construction, which seeks to limit the risk of 
underperformance relative to the Diversified Benchmark. This is accomplished by 
minimizing the exposure of the Fund to securities that are viewed as relatively 
overvalued by Morgan. The consistency with which we have pursued our investment 
approach over time has led to the attractive competitive returns you mentioned.

MANY ACTIVE EQUITY MANAGERS TRAILED THE 34.70% ADVANCE OF THE S&P INDEX 
DURING THE PAST YEAR. HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO'S U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY 
SELECTIONS PERFORM DURING THIS PERIOD RELATIVE TO THE INDEX?

GHO:  In a market where returns for large cap stocks were centered in the top 
"decile" or ten percent of market capitalization, the return of the 
Portfolio's allocation to large cap stocks was 36.8% for the fiscal year 
under review.

WHICH LARGE CAP STOCKS CONTRIBUTED MOST TO THE PORTFOLIO'S OVERALL PERFORMANCE?

GHO:  WARNER-LAMBERT CO., a pharmaceuticals company, rose more than 126% in 
value during the period and, so, added the most of any stock we held to the 
Portfolio's overall returns. We anticipated the flow of new drugs that the 
company would eventually produce well before the market did. These products, 
quite frankly, have been more successful than we ever could have imagined. 
This is particularly true of Rezulin, a diabetes drug that the company 
introduced in January, as well as Lipitor, a cholesterol drug.

Other stocks that significantly enhanced the Portfolio's overall returns 
included INTEL CORP. (semiconductors), a well-managed industry leader that 
rose 93% in an environment where technology stocks only rose an average of 
43%. PROCTER & GAMBLE CO. (household products), a premiere global player in 
detergents, diapers, 

4

<PAGE>

and hair care, rose 59% as investors welcomed the company's successful 
lowering of its cost structure. E.I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO. (chemicals) rose 
63% after a new CEO made clear his commitment to improving the company's stock 
price through cost reductions, improved capital productivity, and joint 
ventures. ALLIED-SIGNAL, INC. (diversified manufacturing) rose 49% on the 
strength of its engineered materials sectors. XEROX CORP. (diversified 
manufacturing), another strong performer, rose 51% following the announced 
hire of a respected IBM executive as President and CEO, and the company's 
purchase of the remaining 20% of Rank-Xerox that it did not already own. 
Lastly, WAL-MART STORES INC. (retail) advanced 34% on accelerating same-store 
sales, a surprise which drove profits upward.

WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED AMONG THE LARGE CAPS?

GHO:  On the Portfolio's downside were GENERAL MOTORS CORP. (automotive), 
which lost -3% of its value for the period amid declining new car sales among 
the Big Three auto makers, and WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. (pollution control), 
which substantially underperformed its sector following a series of 
disappointing earnings announcements. In a market that centered its 
enthusiasm on a small number of very large stocks with stable earnings 
growth, the largest detractors to overall performance were the Portfolio's 
underweighted positions in MICROSOFT CORP. (computer software, up 110%) and 
GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. (diversified manufacturing, up 53%), both of which had 
been identified as overvalued by Morgan's proprietary research. 

WHILE TRAILING THE RETURN OF U.S. LARGE CAP STOCKS INCLUDED IN THE S&P 500 
INDEX, THE RUSSELL 2000 INDEX STILL PROVIDED A SUBSTANTIAL 16.33% RETURN FOR 
THE PERIOD. HOW EFFECTIVE WERE THE PORTFOLIO'S SMALL CAP STOCK SELECTIONS IN 
ENHANCING THE PORTFOLIO'S OVERALL RETURNS?

GHO:  Stock selection within the Portfolio's small cap segment continued to 
be very strong. Some of our larger holdings had exceptional returns for the 
one-year period. These included DEKALB GENETICS CORP. (agriculture, up 209%), 
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY MATERIALS, INC. (semiconductors, up 118%), and ENCORE 
WIRE CORP. (electrical equipment, up 190%). The real benefit of this small 
cap segment is that it has consistently delivered returns above its benchmark 
while only taking risks that are comparable to the benchmark.

Owing to the current relative valuations of the domestic equity markets, the 
Portfolio continues to hold a 1% tactical overweighting in small cap stocks. 
We expect to remain comfortable with this strategy going forward because our 
proprietary analysis tells us that a long period of relative underperformance 
now makes U.S. small cap stocks appear inexpensive in comparison with U.S. 
large cap stocks.

HOW SUCCESSFUL WAS THE FUND'S INTERNATIONAL EQUITY STRATEGY DURING THE YEAR 
JUST PAST, AND IS THE RECENT STRENGTH SHOWN BY EUROPEAN AND JAPANESE STOCKS 
MAKING YOU RETHINK THAT STRATEGY? 

GHO:  The Portfolio's international equity allocation outperformed stocks 
included in the MSCI EAFE Index for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, 
primarily due to its relatively underweighted position in Japan, which we 
regarded as expensive, and because we hedged the Portfolio's yen exposure 
back into the U.S. dollar. Stock selection has added value in Europe, but has 
proved more difficult in a Japanese market that, 

                                                                              5

<PAGE>

much like its U.S. counterpart, has been narrowly focused on the largest 
capitalized stocks, which we regard as overvalued. Although European markets 
have performed well, we still prefer Europe over Japan, where the weakness of 
the local economy continues to hold back corporate profits.

WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT VIEWS ON ASSET ALLOCATION FOLLOWING THE CONTINUED STRONG 
PERFORMANCE OF U.S. EQUITIES?

GHO:  We continue to have the Portfolio maintain an underweighted position in 
U.S. large cap stocks. This strategy is consistent with our analysis of 
current relative valuations among global markets.

HOW HAS THE SOCIALIST VICTORY IN FRANCE AND THE LABOUR VICTORY IN THE U.K. 
AFFECTED YOUR VIEWS ON EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION (EMU) AND THE EUROPEAN FINANCIAL
MARKETS?

GHO:  We expect EMU to go ahead on schedule, including a broader grouping of 
countries than earlier anticipated, meaning that Spain and possibly Italy will 
qualify. This and the recent election of a Socialist government in France will 
probably reduce enthusiasm for cutting government spending in Europe, while also
encouraging a further weakening of European currencies. We regard these factors,
in turn, as likely to help corporate profitability additionally recover in the 
U.K. The new Labour government has raised corporate taxes and cut tax benefits 
enjoyed by pension funds, but is unlikely, in our view, to take any further 
measures that would damage confidence in the equity market.

RETURNS IN JAPAN WERE VERY STRONG IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 1997, HAVING 
TRAILED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 
THIS IMPORTANT MARKET?

GHO:  Not exciting. Valuations in Japan have improved on a relative basis, 
but are still not particularly cheap, while the strength of the economic 
recovery is again in some doubt for the near term. Meanwhile, the supply of 
new equity in Japan is rising again -- which has often been a bad sign in the 
past.

THE JPM PIERPONT DIVERSIFIED FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The JPM Pierpont Diversified Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of The JPM
Pierpont 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 a diversified, open-end management investment company. The
Fund commenced investment operations on December 15, 1993. Prior to October 10,
1996, the Trust's and Fund's names were The Pierpont Funds and The Pierpont
Diversified Fund, respectively.
 
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in The Diversified 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 (23% at June 30, 1997). The
performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the
Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Schedule of
Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from
those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
policies of the Fund:
 
    a)Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the
      Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in
      this report.
 
    b)The Fund records its share of net investment income, realized and
      unrealized gain and loss and adjusts its investment in the Portfolio each
      day. All the net investment income and realized and unrealized gain and
      loss of the Portfolio is allocated pro rata among the Fund and other
      investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.
 
    c)Substantially all the Fund's net investment income is declared and paid as
      dividends semi-annually. Distributions to shareholders of realized net
      capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least once a year.
 
    d)The Fund incurred organization expenses in the amount of $34,724. These
      costs were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
      a five-year period from the commencement of operations.
 
    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 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)The Fund accounts for and reports distributions to shareholders in
      accordance with "Statement of Position 93-2: Determination, Disclosure,
      and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return
      of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies." The effect of applying
      this statement for the year ended June 30, 1997 was to increase
      undistributed net investment income by $100,028, decrease accumulated net
      realized gain on investment and foreign currency transactions by $100,959
      and increase paid-in capital by $931. The adjustments are primarily
      attributable to foreign currency gains. Net investment income, net
      realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change.
 
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    a)The Trust had retained Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc.
      ("Signature") to serve as administrator and distributor. Under an
      Administration Agreement, Signature provided administrative services
      necessary for the operations of the Fund, furnished office space and
      facilities required for conducting the business of the Fund and paid the
      compensation of the Trust's officers affiliated with Signature. The
      agreement provided for a fee to be paid to Signature equal to the Fund's
      proportionate share of a complex-wide charge based on the following annual
      schedule: 0.03% on the first $7 billion of the aggregate average daily net
      assets of the Portfolio and the other portfolios (the "Master Portfolios")
      in which series of the Trust, The JPM Institutional Funds or The JPM
      Advisor Funds invest and 0.01% on the aggregate average daily net assets
      of the Master Portfolios in excess of $7 billion. The portion of this
      charge paid by the Fund was determined by the proportionate share its net
      assets bore to the total net assets of the Trust, The JPM Institutional
      Funds, The JPM Advisor Funds and the Master Portfolios. For the period
      from July 1, 1996 through July 31, 1996, Signature's fee for these
      services amounted to $568. The Administration Agreement with Signature was
      terminated on July 31, 1996.
 
      Effective August 1, 1996, certain administrative functions formerly
      provided by Signature are provided by Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a
      registered broker-dealer, and by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
      ("Morgan"). FDI also serves as the Fund's distributor. Under a Co-
      Administration Agreement between FDI and the Trust on behalf of the Fund,
      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
      affiliated investment companies subject to similar agreements with FDI.
      For the period from August 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, the fee for
      these services amounted to $1,916.
 
      On November 15, 1996, The JPM Advisor Funds terminated operations and were
      liquidated. Subsequent to that date, the net assets of The JPM Advisor
      Funds were no longer included in the calculation of the allocation of
      FDI's fees.
 
    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 proportionate share of an annual complex-wide charge. Until July 31,
      1996, this charge was calculated daily based on the aggregate net assets
      of the Master Portfolios in accordance with the
 
                                                                              15

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      following annual schedule: 0.06% on the first $7 billion of the Master
      Portfolios' aggregate average daily net assets and 0.03% of the Master
      Portfolios' aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7 billion.
      The portion of this charge paid by the Fund was determined by the
      proportionate share that its net assets bore to the net assets of the
      Trust, the Master Portfolios and other investors in the Master Portfolios
      for which Morgan provided similar services. For the period from July 1,
      1996 through July 31, 1996, the fee for these services amounted to $1,099.
 
      Effective August 1, 1996, the Services Agreement was amended such that the
      annual complex-wide charge is calculated daily based on the aggregate
      average daily net assets of the Master Portfolios and JPM Series Trust in
      accordance with the following annual schedule: 0.09% on the first $7
      billion of their aggregate average daily net assets and 0.04% of their
      aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7 billion, less the
      complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The portion of this charge payable by
      the Fund is determined by the proportionate share that its net assets bear
      to the net assets of the Trust, the Master Portfolios, other investors in
      the Master Portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services, and JPM
      Series Trust. For the period from August 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997,
      the fee for these services amounted to $17,698.
 
      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
      0.98% of the average daily net assets of the Fund through October 31,
      1997. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, Morgan has agreed to
      reimburse the Fund $69,095 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 0.25% of the average daily net assets of
      the Fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the fee for these
      services amounted to $151,781.
 
      Morgan, Charles Schwab & Co. ("Schwab") and the Trust are parties to
      separate services and operating agreements (the "Schwab Agreements")
      whereby Schwab makes Fund shares available to customers of investment
      advisors and other financial intermediaries who are Schwab's clients. The
      Fund is not responsible for payments to Schwab under the Schwab
      Agreements; however, in the event the Services Agreement with Schwab is
      terminated for reasons other than a breach by Schwab and the relationship
      between the Trust and Morgan is terminated, the Fund would be responsible
      for the ongoing payments to Schwab with respect to pre-termination shares.
 
    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
      $2,071 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
 
    e)An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
      a Trustee of the Trust, The JPM Institutional Funds, the Master Portfolios
      and JPM Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses shown in the
      financial statements represents the Fund's allocated portion of the total
      fees and expenses.

      Prior to April 1, 1997, the aggregate annual Trustee Fee was $65,000. 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 $400.

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 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 28, 1997, with unaffiliated lenders. The maximum commitment
borrowing under the Agreement is $150,000,000. The Agreement expires on May 27,
1998, however, the Fund as party to the Agreement will have the ability to
extend the Agreement and continue its participation therein for an additional
364 days. 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 as an
annual rate of 0.065% on the unused portion of the committed amount which is
allocated to the Funds in accordance with procedures established by their
respective Trustees or Directors. The Fund has not borrowed pursuant to the
Agreement as of  June 30, 1997.
 
                                                                              17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Diversified Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), 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's investment objective
is to provide a high total return from a diversified portfolio of equity and
fixed income securities. The Portfolio may invest in international markets. The
Portfolio commenced operations on July 8, 1993. The Portfolio's Declaration of
Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests
in the Portfolio.
 
Investments in international markets may involve certain considerations and
risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. Future
economic and political developments in foreign countries could adversely affect
the liquidity or value, or both, of such securities in which the Portfolio is
invested. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the
Portfolio to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political
developments in a specific industry or region.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from
those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
policies of the Portfolio:
 
    a)The value of each security for which readily available market quotations
      exist is based on a decision as to the broadest and most representative
      market for such security. The value of such security will be based either
      on the last sale price on a national securities exchange or, in the
      absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid
      and asked prices on such exchange. Securities listed on a foreign exchange
      are valued at the last quoted sale price available before the time when
      net assets are valued. Unlisted securities are valued at the average of
      the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market. Securities
      or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are
      valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by the
      Portfolio's Trustees. Such procedures include the use of independent
      pricing services, which use prices based upon yields or prices of
      securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications
      as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. All Portfolio
      securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued by
      the amortized cost method.
 
      Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter
      markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and
      may also take place on days on which the domestic market is closed. If
      events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between
      the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time
      when the Portfolio's net asset value is calculated, such securities will
      be valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and
      under the general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees.
 
    b)The 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
 
44

THE DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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.
 
    c)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 expense are
      translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of
      such transactions. Translation gains and losses resulting from changes in
      the exchange rates during the reporting period and gains and losses
      realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in
      the Statement of Operations.
 
      Although the net assets of the Portfolio are presented at the exchange
      rates and market values prevailing at the end of the period, the Portfolio
      does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a
      result of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising
      from changes in the market prices of securities during the period.
 
    d)The Portfolio may enter into forward and spot foreign currency contracts
      to protect securities and related receivables and payables against
      fluctuations in future foreign currency rates. A forward contract is an
      agreement to buy or sell currencies of different countries on a specified
      future date at a specified rate. Risks associated with such contracts
      include the movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the
      U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform.
 
      The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency
      exchange rates. Contracts are valued daily based on procedures established
      by and under the general supervision of the Portfolio's Trustees, and the
      change in the market value is recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized
      appreciation or depreciation of forward and spot foreign currency contract
      translations. At June 30, 1997, the Portfolio had open forward foreign
      currency contracts as follows:

    e)Futures -- A futures contract is an agreement to purchase/sell a specified
      quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified future date or to
      make/receive a cash payment based on the value of a securities index. The
      price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the
      Portfolio enters into the contract. Upon entering into such a contract,
      the Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or
      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 in

    h)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
      tax on its share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It
      is intended that the Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that
      an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of
      Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Portfolio earns foreign
      income which may be subject to foreign withholding taxes at various rates.
 
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    a)The Portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan Guaranty
      Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"). Under the terms of the agreement,
      the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.55% of the Portfolio's
      average daily net assets. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, this
      fee amounted to $1,591,589.
 
    b)The Portfolio had retained Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc.
      ("Signature") to serve as administrator and exclusive placement agent.
      Under an Administration Agreement, Signature provided administrative
      services necessary for the operations of the Portfolio, furnished office
      space and facilities required for conducting the business of the Portfolio
      and paid the compensation of the Portfolio's officers affiliated with
      Signature. The agreement provided for a fee to be paid to Signature equal
      to the Portfolio's proportionate share of a complex-wide fee based on the
      following annual schedule: 0.03% on the first $7 billion of the aggregate
      average daily net assets of the Portfolio and the other portfolios (the
      "Master Portfolios") in which The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM
      Institutional Funds or The JPM Advisor Funds invest and 0.01% on the
      aggregate average daily net assets of the Master Portfolios in excess of
      $7 billion. The portion of this charge paid by the Portfolio was
      determined by the proportionate share its net assets bore to the total net
      assets of The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, The JPM
      Advisor Funds and the Master Portfolios. For the period from July 1, 1996
      through July 31, 1996, such fees amounted to $2,938. The Administration
      Agreement with Signature was terminated July 31, 1996.
 
      Effective August 1, 1996, certain administrative functions formerly
      provided by Signature are provided by Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a
      registered broker-dealer, and by Morgan. FDI also serves as the
      Portfolio's exclusive placement agent. Under a Co-Administration Agreement
      between FDI and the Portfolio, 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 The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, The JPM
      Advisor Funds, the Master Portfolios, JPM Series Trust, JPM Series Trust
      II and certain other investment companies subject to similar agreements
      with FDI. For the period August 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, the fee for
      these services amounted to $6,791.
 
      On November 15, 1996, The JPM Advisor Funds terminated operations and were
      liquidated. Subsequent to that date, the net assets of The JPM Advisor
      Funds were no longer included in the calculation of the allocation of
      FDI's fees.
 
    c)The Portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible for overseeing
      certain aspects of the administration and operation of
 
                                                                              47

      the Portfolio. Under the Services Agreement, the Portfolio has agreed to
      pay Morgan a fee equal to its proportionate share of an annual
      complex-wide charge. Until July 31, 1996, this charge was calculated daily
      based on the aggregate net assets of the Master Portfolios in accordance
      with the following annual schedule: 0.06% on the first $7 billion of the
      Master Portfolios' aggregate average daily net assets and 0.03% of the
      Master Portfolios' aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7
      billion. The portion of this charge paid by the Portfolio was determined
      by the proportionate share its net assets bore to the net assets of the
      Master Portfolios and investors in the Master Portfolios for which Morgan
      provided similar services. For the period from July 1, 1996 through July
      31, 1996, the fee for these services amounted to $5,686.
 
      Effective August 1, 1996, the Services Agreement was amended such that the
      annual complex-wide charge is calculated daily based on the aggregate
      average daily net assets of the Master Portfolios and JPM Series Trust in
      accordance with the following annual schedule: 0.09% on the first $7
      billion of their aggregate average daily net assets and 0.04% of their
      aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7 billion, less the
      complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The portion of this charge paid by the
      Portfolio is determined by the proportionate share that its net assets
      bear to the net assets of the Master Portfolios, investors in the Master
      Portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services, and JPM Series
      Trust. For the period from August 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, the fee
      for these services amounted to $84,063.
 
      In addition, Morgan has agreed to reimburse the Portfolio to the extent
      necessary to maintain the total operating expenses of the Portfolio at no
      more than 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio through
      October 31, 1997. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, Morgan has
      agreed to reimburse the Portfolio $433,717 for expenses under this
      agreement.
 
    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 $9,911 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
 
    e)An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
      a Trustee of The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, the
      Master Portfolios and JPM Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses
      shown in the financial statements represents the Portfolio's allocated
      portion of the total fees and expenses. Prior to April 1, 1997, the
      aggregate annual Trustee Fee was $65,000. The Portfolio's Chairman and
      Chief Executive Officer also serves as Chairman of Group and 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 $2,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Trustees and Investors of
The Diversified Portfolio
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the supplementary data present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of The Diversified Portfolio (the "Portfolio")
at June 30, 1997, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the
changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended,
and the supplementary data for each of the three years in the period then ended
and for the period July 8, 1993 (commencement of operations) through June 30,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and supplementary data (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June
30, 1997 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and the application
of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not
received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
