The PanAgora Institutional Funds
President's Letter
January 8, 1997




Dear Fellow Shareholders:

We are pleased to present the semi-annual  report of The PanAgora  Institutional
Funds.  The PanAgora  Institutional  Funds were  established  in 1993 to provide
investors  with  investment  vehicles in the form of mutual  funds  implementing
specific  investment  strategies.  The PanAgora  Institutional  Funds make these
strategies  available to smaller  pension  funds,  foundations  and  endowments,
401(k) plans and individual investors.


The  PanAgora  Institutional  Funds is a series of  funds.  The  PanAgora  Asset
Allocation Fund invests in a mixture of U.S. stocks, bonds and cash equivalents.
The PanAgora International Equity Fund invests in stocks outside the U.S.



PANAGORA ASSET ALLOCATION FUND
The PanAgora Asset Allocation Fund's  investment  objective is to maximize total
return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund attempts
to achieve  its  objective  by actively  allocating  assets  among U.S.  stocks,
investment  grade fixed  income  securities  and cash  equivalents  based on the
Adviser's proprietary asset allocation disciplines.

The U.S.  stock market  turned in another  stellar  year.  While most stocks did
well, the bigger stocks had the best performance. The best performer was the Dow
Industrials,  followed  by the S&P 100,  the S&P 400,  the S&P 500,  the Russell
3000, the Russell 2000, and bringing up the rear, the Value Line Index.  The end
result is that  most  stocks  underperformed  the stock  indices,  making  stock
selection a difficult exercise.

Stock returns were driven by continued strong earnings growth,  coupled with low
inflation, and low interest rates. The year began with the Federal Reserve Board
cutting the Discount Rate, a signal of easy money policy. That set the stage for
a series of new stock market highs. It was also a year of volatility.  The stock
market advance has been steady with few corrections.

Bonds were  another  story.  The bond  market was  characterized  by a series of
rallies and busts.  Bonds ended the year  underperforming  cash. Long term bonds
ended the year with a loss making it a dismal year for bonds.

The Fund  participated  strongly  in the  stock  market  rally,  but with  lower
volatility.  Asset allocation  varied from a slightly  underweighted to slightly
overweighted  position in stocks relative to our target of 75% in stocks.  Bonds
were often underweighted from their 20% target,  reducing the risk from exposure
to the fickle interest rate environment.




                                                                               1




The coming year depends  largely upon inflation  fears and Federal Reserve Board
policy.  If the economy can continue to produce moderate growth at full capacity
and full  employment  without  inflation,  stocks can continue to perform  well.
However,  if the Fed changes to tight monetary  policy,  volatility will return.
With the Dow  Industrials  at 6500,  swings of 200 points or more  could  become
commonplace.  Currently the Fund maintains a slight  overweighting  in equities,
and a minimal amount in bonds. Cash is also overweighted.



PANAGORA INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND

The PanAgora  International  Equity Fund's  investment  objective is to maximize
total return, consisting primarily of capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to
achieve its objective by actively allocating assets among non-U.S. stock markets
using the Adviser's proprietary asset allocation disciplines.

The country selection decision within the developed international equity markets
contributed favorably to the Fund's performance.  The biggest contributions came
from overweight (i.e. above benchmark  weight) positions in Spain and France and
an  underweight  position  in Japan.  Falling  interest  rates due to  declining
inflation  helped power the Spanish equity market to a top performing  return of
40%.  After  overcoming an erratic start,  French  equities rose strongly in the
second  half of the year  ending  up  21.2%.  Investors  were  rewarded  for the
increasing  likelihood of EMU (European Monetary Unit) and an improving economic
and corporate  profit  outlook.  The Japanese  equity market turned in the worst
performance  with a  return  of  -15.5%  as  investors  were  concerned  with an
uncertain economic recovery,  political  instability,  unresolved banking sector
problems and fiscal retrenchment.



The  PanAgora  International  Equity  Fund  invests  about 10% of its  assets in
emerging  markets  where  economic  growth is  expected  to be  higher  than the
developed  countries.  The current  emerging  markets  investments  for the Fund
includes eleven countries:  Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Greece, Indonesia, Mexico,
Philippines, Portugal, South Africa, Thailand and Turkey.


Emerging markets, which began strongly in 1996, completed the year with a modest
return of 4% in US$ terms.  The best performing  region was Eastern Europe which
returned 35%. The region's positive performance is attributed to strong economic
growth and large foreign capital flows into these markets. Latin America was the
second best performing region with a return of approximately 16%. Brazil, Mexico
and Argentina  contributed  to the region's  strong  performance.  These markets
suffered in the  aftermath of the Mexican peso  devaluation  in December of 1994
and have experienced a sharp turnaround in 1996. The worst performing region was
Asia which had a flat  performance for the year. Asian markets were plagued with
ongoing political  scandals and heightened  concerns about large current account
deficits.




                                                                               2




Thank you for your continuing interest in the PanAgora  Institutional  Funds. We
look forward to serving you.

Sincerely,



Richard A. Crowell
President
The PanAgora Institutional Funds

THE PANAGORA INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


     The PanAgora Institutional Funds (the "Trust") was organized under the laws
     of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on January 27, 1993 as a Massachusetts
     business trust and is registered under the Investment  Company Act of 1940,
     as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management  investment company.
     The Trust consists of two separately managed  investment  series:  PanAgora
     Asset  Allocation  Fund  and  PanAgora   International  Equity  Fund,  (the
     "Funds"). The Funds commenced operations on June 1, 1993.

     The PanAgora Asset Allocation  Fund's  investment  objective is to maximize
     total return,  consisting of capital  appreciation and current income.  The
     PanAgora  International  Equity Fund's investment  objective is to maximize
     total return,  consisting primarily of capital  appreciation,  with current
     income  as a  secondary  objective.  In order  to  achieve  its  investment
     objective, the PanAgora Asset Allocation Fund actively allocates its assets
     among U.S. equity  securities,  investment  grade fixed income  securities,
     cash  and cash  equivalents  and the  PanAgora  International  Equity  Fund
     actively allocates its assets among international equity markets.

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     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  in the
     financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The  following  is a summary of  significant  accounting  policies  for the
     Funds.  The policies are in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting
     principles for investment  companies and are  consistently  followed by the
     Funds in the preparation of the financial statements.

     PORTFOLIO VALUATION
     Equity securities and other similar investments traded on a recognized U.S.
     or foreign  securities  exchange or the National  Association of Securities
     Dealers  Automated  Quotation System (NASDAQ) are valued at their last sale
     price on the  principal  exchange  on which  they are  traded or NASDAQ (if
     NASDAQ is the  principal  market for such  securities).  If no sale occurs,
     securities  are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked price.
     Unlisted  equity   securities  for  which  market  quotations  are  readily
     available  are  valued at the mean  between  the most  recent bid and asked
     price. Debt securities and other fixed-income investments of the Funds will
     be valued at prices supplied by independent  pricing agents selected by the
     Board of Trustees.  Short-term  obligations  maturing in sixty days or less
     are valued at amortized cost.  Amortized cost valuation  involves initially
     valuing a  security  at its  cost,  and  thereafter,  assuming  a  constant
     amortization  to maturity of any  discount  or premium,  regardless  of the
     impact of  fluctuating  interest rates on the market value of the security.
     Securities whose market value does not, in the Advisor's  opinion,  reflect
     fair value, are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith
     by the Board of Trustees.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
      Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms
     of a  typical  repurchase  agreement,  the  Fund  takes  possession  of  an
     underlying debt obligation  (i.e.  collateral)  subject to an obligation of
     the seller to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an




                                                                              29

     agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's
     holding period.  This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is
     not subject to market  fluctuations  during the Fund's holding period.  The
     value of the  collateral is at least equal at all times to the total amount
     of  the  repurchase  obligations,  including  interest.  In  the  event  of
     counterparty  default,  the Fund has the  right  to use the  collateral  to
     offset losses  incurred.  There is potential  loss to the Fund in the event
     the Fund is delayed or prevented  from  exercising its rights to dispose of
     the collateral securities,  including the risk of a possible decline in the
     value of the underlying  securities  during the period while the Fund seeks
     to assert its  rights.  The Fund's  investment  adviser,  acting  under the
     supervision of the Board of Directors,  reviews the value of the collateral
     and the  creditworthiness  of those banks and  dealers  with which the Fund
     enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

     FUTURES CONTRACTS
     The Funds will engage in futures  transactions  only for bona fide  hedging
     and non-hedging purposes as defined in regulations of the Commodity Futures
     Trading  Commission.  Upon entering into a futures  contract,  each Fund is
     required to deposit  with the broker an amount of cash or cash  equivalents
     equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount.  This is known as the
     "initial  margin."  Subsequent  payments  ("variation  margin") are made or
     received by the Funds each day,  depending on the daily  fluctuation of the
     value of the contract.

     Futures contracts are  marked-to-market  daily and the daily changes in the
     value of the contract are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds
     recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.

     There are several risks in connection with the use of futures  contracts as
     a hedging  device.  The  change  in value of  futures  contracts  primarily
     corresponds with the value of their underlying  instrument or index,  which
     may not correlate  with the change in value of the hedged  investments.  In
     addition,  there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter  into a
     closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY
     The books and records of the Funds are  maintained  in United States (U.S.)
     dollars.  Foreign currencies,  investments and other assets and liabilities
     are translated  into U.S.  dollars at the exchange rates  prevailing at the
     end of the period, and purchases and sales of investment securities, income
     and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

     The Funds do not isolate  that portion of the results of changes in foreign
     currency  exchange rates from the fluctuations  arising from changes in the
     market  prices of  securities  held at period  end.  Net  realized  foreign
     currency gains and losses result from changes in exchange rates,  including
     foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on
     investment securities  transactions,  foreign currency transactions and the
     difference  between the amounts of interest and  dividends  recorded on the
     books of the Funds and the amount actually received. The portion of foreign
     currency  gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between
     the  initial  trade date and  subsequent  sale trade  date is  included  in
     realized gains and losses on securities transactions.




                                                                              30

     FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
     The  PanAgora  International  Equity  Fund may enter into  forward  foreign
     currency  contracts.  Forward foreign currency  contracts are valued at the
     forward rate and are marked-to-market  daily. The change in market value is
     recorded by the Fund as an  unrealized  gain or loss.  When the contract is
     closed or delivery is taken, the Fund 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 it was closed.

     The  use  of  forward  foreign   currency   contracts  does  not  eliminate
     fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund's securities, but it does
     establish a rate of exchange  that can be achieved in the future.  Although
     forward  foreign  currency  contracts  can  limit the risk of loss due to a
     decline in the value of the hedged currency,  they also limit any potential
     gain that  might  result  should  the value of the  currency  increase.  In
     addition,  the Fund could be exposed to risks if the  counterparties to the
     contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.

     SECURITY LENDING
     The Funds may lend their securities to brokers, dealers and other financial
     organizations.  The loans are  collateralized  at all times with cash, cash
     equivalents  or U.S.  Government  securities  with a market  value at least
     equal  to the  market  value  of the  securities  on  loan.  As with  other
     extensions  of credit,  the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or
     even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities
     fail  financially.   The  Funds  receive  compensation  for  lending  their
     securities.  At November 30, 1996, the PanAgora Asset  Allocation  Fund and
     the PanAgora  International  Equity Fund loaned  securities having a market
     value of $268,150 and $137,777, respectively, collateralized by cash in the
     amount of  $272,100  and  $146,103,  respectively,  which was  invested  in
     short-term investments.

     SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
     Securities  transactions are recorded as of the trade date.  Realized gains
     or losses from  securities  sold are recorded on the identified cost basis.
     Interest  income is recorded on the accrual  basis and consists of interest
     accrued  and,  if  applicable,  discount  earned less  premiums  amortized.
     Dividend  income is recorded on the ex-dividend  date,  except that certain
     dividends  from  foreign  securities  are  recorded  as soon as the Fund is
     informed of the ex-dividend date.

     DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
     Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment  income,  if any,
     and distributes  net short-term  capital gains, if any, on an annual basis.
     Each Fund also  distributes,  at least annually,  substantially  all of the
     long-term  capital  gains in excess of available  capital  losses,  if any,
     which it realizes for each taxable year.  Income  distributions and capital
     gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations
     which may differ  from  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These
     differences  are primarily due to differing  treatments of income and gains
     on various investment  securities held by each Fund, timing differences and
     differing  characterization  of distributions made by each Fund.  Permanent
     differences   relating  to   shareholder   distributions   will  result  in
     reclassifications to paid-in capital.





                                                                              31

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
     It is the policy of the Funds to qualify as a regulated investment company,
     by  complying  with the  requirements  under  Subchapter  M of the Internal
     Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,  applicable  to  regulated  investment
     companies  and by  distributing  substantially  all of its  earnings to its
     shareholders.  Therefore,  no provision for federal income or excise tax is
     necessary.

2.   MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Trust has entered into an investment  advisory agreement (the "Advisory
     Agreement") with PanAgora Asset Management,  Inc.  ("PanAgora").  Under the
     Advisory  Agreement,  the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, pays a monthly fee
     at an annual rate of the value of each Fund's  average  daily net assets as
     follows:

             PanAgora Asset Allocation Fund                   0.60%

             PanAgora International Equity Fund               0.80%


     PanAgora has agreed to voluntarily  waive and reimburse a portion or all of
     its  respective  fees  and  expenses  of  the  Asset  Allocation  Fund  and
     International  Equity  Fund to the  extent  that the  Funds'  total  annual
     expenses  exceed  0.90%  or  1.10%  of  their  average  daily  net  assets,
     respectively.

     The Trust has entered into  Administration,  Custodian and Transfer  Agency
     and Service  Agreements  with  Investors  Bank & Trust Company  ("Investors
     Bank").

     PanAgora  has  agreed  to pay  to  Funds  Distributor,  Inc.,  the  Trust's
     distributor,  as compensation for certain distribution services rendered to
     the Trust,  a monthly  fee at the annual  rate of 0.03% of the value of the
     average  daily net assets of each Fund.  The minimum  fee,  with respect to
     both  funds,  is $15,000  per year.  The Funds do not pay any fees to Funds
     Distributor, Inc.

     No officer, director or employee of PanAgora,  Investors Bank or any parent
     or subsidiary of those entities  receives any  compensation  from the Trust
     for  serving as a Trustee  or  officer  of the  Trust.  The Trust pays each
     Trustee who is not an officer,  director, or employee of PanAgora and their
     affiliates or of Investors  Bank,  $5,000 per annum plus $1,000 per meeting
     attended  and  reimburses  each such  Trustee for travel and  out-of-pocket
     expenses.

5.   ORGANIZATION COSTS

     Each Fund has borne all costs in  connection  with its  organization.  Such
     costs are being amortized on the straight-line method over a period of five
     years from the  commencement of operations for each Fund. In the event that
     any  of  the  initial  shares  of  the  Funds  are  redeemed   during  such
     amortization




                                                                              34



THE PANAGORA INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


     period,  the Funds will be reimbursed for any unamortized costs in the same
     proportion as the number of shares  redeemed bears to the number of initial
     shares held at the time of redemption.

6.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Funds may purchase financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
     the  normal  course  of  its  investment  activities.  The  PanAgora  Asset
     Allocation   Fund  may  invest  in  futures   contracts  and  the  PanAgora
     International  Equity  Fund may invest in forward  currency  contracts  and
     futures contracts. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments
     represent the investment the Funds have in particular  classes of financial
     instruments and do not represent the amounts  potentially  subject to risk.
     The  measurement  of  the  risks  associated  with  these   instruments  is
     meaningful   only  when  all  related  and  offsetting   transactions   are
     considered.  A summary of obligations under these financial  instruments is
     included with each Fund's Portfolio of Investments.


7.  CONCENTRATION

     At November 30, 1996, a substantial  portion of the PanAgora  International
     Equity  Fund's net  assets  consist of  securities  denominated  in foreign
     currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and
     investment income from such securities.  Foreign  securities are subject to
     greater price volatility,  more limited  capitalization and liquidity,  and
     higher rates of inflation than  securities of companies based in the United
     States.

8.  BENEFICIAL INTEREST

     At November 30, 1996,  PanAgora Asset Management,  Inc. was record owner of
     12.81% of the  outstanding  shares of the PanAgora Asset  Allocation  Fund.
     Certain other unaffiliated companies were record owners of more than 10% of
     the outstanding shares of the Funds.
