LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE J.P. MORGAN
TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
April 1, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
The previous six-month period was marked by a tightening in the supply of
short-term municipal bonds, accompanied by a decline in tax exempt yields,
particularly since the beginning of 1999. During this period, the J.P. Morgan
Tax Exempt Money Market Fund posted a 1.37% return, besting the 1.31% return of
the IBC Tax Free Money Fund Average and the 1.31% return of the Lipper Retail
Tax Exempt Money Market Fund Average. The fund's current average seven-day yield
of 2.53% translates into a tax equivalent yield of 4.19%, assuming a 39.6%
federal income tax rate.
The fund maintained a stable net asset value of $1.00 over the period. On
February 28, 1999, the net assets of the fund were approximately $1.6 billion,
while the assets of The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio, in which the fund
invests, amounted to approximately $2.2 billion. Dividends of approximately
$0.01 per share were paid from ordinary income, all of which is exempt from
federal income tax.
This report includes a discussion with Richard Oswald, the portfolio manager
primarily responsible for The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio. In this
interview, Dick talks about the events of the previous six months that had the
greatest effect on the portfolio and discusses our investment strategy.
As chairman and president of Asset Management Services, we appreciate your
investment in the fund. If you have any comments or questions, please call your
Morgan representative or J.P. Morgan Funds Services at (800) 521-5411.
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
The following is an interview with RICHARD OSWALD, vice president, who is
responsible for managing The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio, in which the
fund invests. Dick joined Morgan in October 1996 after eight years with CBS
Inc., where he served as corporate treasurer and president of the company's
investment subsidiary. Dick has also held financial positions with Primerica
Corporation and Price Waterhouse. He earned a B.A. from the University of
Toronto and an M.B.A. from the Rochester Institute of Technology, and is
licensed as a C.P.A. in New York State. This interview was conducted on
March 30, 1999, and represents Dick's views on that date.

WHAT FACTORS HAVE MOST INFLUENCED THE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
RO: The supply of short-term municipal bonds has tightened considerably over
the past few months, and tax exempt yields have been low, particularly since
January. The issuance of bonds on the municipal level has shrunk, owing in part
to increased state tax revenues. This reduction in traditional note issuance
comes on top of a decline in synthetic note issuance that resulted from the
unwinding of a significant number of profitable leverage trades. All this has
made for a difficult investment environment.
TO WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE THE PORTFOLIO'S ABOVE-BENCHMARK PERFORMANCE?
RO: In general, the key is being able to efficiently manage our liquidity
needs, which we've been fairly successful in doing. Plus, our credit analysis
team allows us to make prompt decisions on investment opportunities, which often
translate into more favorable purchase prices. We also try to remain open to new
and different investment structures that offer additional yield relative to
traditional muni investments. More specifically, we increased our holdings of
variable rate demand notes and commercial paper, and some inflows at year-end
allowed us to take advantage of cheaper resets.
Over the past six months, assets under management in the portfolio increased to
about $2.2 billion from approximately $1.8 billion. This is partly due to the
thriving equity markets, as some investors have taken profits and reallocated
them into more conservative investments such as money market funds.
Additionally, the fund recently received an AAA rating from Moody's.*
* RATINGS FROM MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE ARE HISTORICAL AND ARE BASED ON CREDIT
QUALITY, MATURITY LIMITATIONS, MARKET PRICE EXPOSURE, MANAGMENT, AND OTHER
RELEVANT FACTORS.

<PAGE>
WHAT DO YOU SEE ON THE HORIZON FOR THE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET, AND HOW WILL YOU
POSITION THE PORTFOLIO?
RO: Trends in the muni market tend to be cyclical and are driven more by
technical issues than fundamentals. For example, short-term muni rates tend to
peak in the weeks following the April 15 tax-filing deadline. We plan on
increasing our liquidity around that time in order to meet any redemptions as a
result of our investors making income tax payments. At the same time, we want to
be liquid enough to take advantage of the price trough that accompanies the rate
peak. The limited supply of muni bonds should continue to be an issue, but we
think the seasonal reduction in demand will be more significant and provide us
with some good investment opportunities.
Though technical factors dominate, munis also tend to trade in sympathy with
broader interest rates; since we expect the Federal Reserve to be on hold
through at least the end of the year, this shouldn't be an issue.
We're not trying to hit any home runs in our investment approach for the next
few months. We'll continue to invest in high-quality credits. We're trying to
stay pretty liquid; we have roughly 10% of the portfolio invested in securities
that provide daily liquidity. We had been trying to extend the duration of the
portfolio, but have found that task difficult because of the tight supply of
issues. We've put that on hold for now, but we'll move more aggressively to
extend duration in late April, when we expect to be able to purchase some
longer-term issues at attractive prices.

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

J.P. MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FEBRUARY 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
J.P. Morgan Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "fund") is a separate series of
the J.P. Morgan 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, prior to its tax-free reorganization on July 11, 1993, to a series of
the trust, operated as a stand-alone mutual fund.
The fund invests all of its investable assets in The Tax Exempt Money Market
Portfolio (the "portfolio"), a diversified open-end management investment
company having the same investment objective as the fund. The value of such
investment included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects the
fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the portfolio (73% at
February 28, 1999). 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 gain and
loss and adjusts its investment in the portfolio each day. All the net
investment income and realized gain and loss of the portfolio is allocated
pro rata among the fund and other investors in the portfolio at the time
of such determination.
c) Substantially all the fund's net investment income and net realized
capital gain, if any, are declared as dividends daily and paid monthly.
Net short-term capital gains, if any, will be distributed in accordance
with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and may be reflected in the fund's daily dividends.
Substantially all the realized net long-term capital gains, if any, are
declared and paid annually, except that an additional capital gains
distribution may be made in a given year to the extent necessary to avoid
the imposition of federal excise tax on the fund.
d) 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.
e) The fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes
and intends to comply with the provisions of the Code, 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. For United States federal
income tax purposes, the fund had a capital loss carryforward at August
31, 1998 of $272,960, of which $36,548 expires in 2003 and $236,412
expires in 2004. To the extent that this capital loss is used to offset
future capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be
distributed to shareholders.
12
<PAGE>
J.P. MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
FEBRUARY 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fund incurred approximately $3,525 of realized long term capital
losses in the period from November 1, 1997 to August 31, 1998. These
losses were deferred for tax purposes until September 1, 1998.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has retained Funds Distributor, Inc.
("FDI"), a registered broker-dealer, to serve as co-administrator and
distributor for the fund. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI
and the trust on behalf of the fund, FDI provides administrative services
necessary for the operations of the fund, furnishes office space and
facilities required for conducting the business of the fund and pays the
compensation of the fund's officers affiliated with FDI. The fund has
agreed to pay FDI fees equal to its allocable share of an annual
complex-wide charge of $425,000 plus FDI's out-of-pocket expenses. The
amount allocable to the fund is based on the ratio of the fund's net
assets to the aggregate net assets of the trust and certain other
investment companies subject to similar agreements with FDI. For the six
months ended February 28, 1999, the fee for these services amounted to
$11,840.
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 the J.P. Morgan Institutional 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 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 February 28, 1999, the fee
for these services amounted to $186,017.
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 six months ended February 28, 1999, the fee for these
services amounted to $1,711,519.
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
13
<PAGE>
J.P. MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
FEBRUARY 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
$16,150 for the six months ended February 28, 1999.
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 Institutional 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 $3,400.

THE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FEBRUARY 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio (the "portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York on January 29, 1993. The portfolio commenced operations on
July 12, 1993 and received a contribution of certain assets and liabilities,
including securities, with a value of $955,814,753 on that date from The
Pierpont Tax Exempt Money Market Fund in exchange for a beneficial interest in
the portfolio. The portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high level
of current income exempt from federal income tax consistent with the
preservation of capital and same-day liquidity. The Declaration of Trust permits
the trustees to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the
portfolio.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from
those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
policies of the portfolio:
a) Investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
The amortized cost method of valuation values a security at its cost at
the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to
maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of
fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instruments.
b) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest
income, which includes the amortization of premiums and discounts, if any,
is recorded on an accrual basis. For financial and tax reporting purposes,
realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot
identification.
c) The portfolio intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. As such, each investor in the portfolio will be taxed on its
share of the portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended
that the portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor
in the portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code. The cost of securities is substantially the
same for book and tax purposes.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a) Prior to October 1, 1998, the portfolio had an Investment Advisory
Agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J.P. Morgan").
Under the terms of the agreement, the portfolio paid 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 amount over $1 billion. Effective October 1, 1998 the
portfolio's investment advisor is J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.,
("JPMIM"), an affiliate of Morgan and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P.
Morgan, and the terms of the agreement have remained the same. For the six
months ended February 28, 1999, the fee for these services amounted to
$1,507,492.
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,

THE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 February 28, 1999, the fee for these
services amounted to $11,028.
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
portfolio and certain other portfolios for which JPMIM acts as investment
advisor (the "master portfolios") and J.P. Morgan Series Trust in
accordance with the following annual schedule: 0.09% on the first $7
billion of their aggregate average daily net assets and 0.04% of their
aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7 billion, less the
complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The portion of this charge payable by
the portfolio is determined by the proportionate share that its net assets
bear to the net assets of the master portfolios, other investors in the
master portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services, and J.P.
Morgan Series Trust. For the six months ended February 28, 1999, the fee
for these services amounted to $275,274.
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 $24,745 for the six months ended February 28, 1999.
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 J.P. Morgan
Institutional Funds, the master portfolios and J.P. Morgan Series Trust.
The Trustees' Fees and Expenses shown in the financial statements
represents the portfolio's allocated portion of the total fees and
expenses. The portfolio's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also serves
as Chairman of Group and receives compensation and employee benefits from
Group in his role as Group's Chairman. The allocated portion of such
compensation and benefits included in the Fund Services Fee shown in the
financial statements was $5,200.
