OCTOBER 31, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION--The International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load,
diversified, open-end management investment company which was organized as a
trust under the laws of the State of New York. The Portfolio's investment
objective is to provide a high total return from a portfolio of equity
securities of foreign companies. The Portfolio commenced operations on October
4, 1993 and received a contribution of certain assets and liabilities, including
securities, with a value of $160,213,973 on that date from The Pierpont
International Equity Fund, Inc. in exchange for a beneficial interest in the
Portfolio. At that date, net unrealized appreciation of $11,116,204 was
included in the contributed securities. 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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:
SECURITY VALUATIONS--Securities traded on principal securities exchanges
are valued at the last reported sales price, or mean of the latest bid and asked
prices when no last sales price is available. Securities traded
over-the-counter and certain foreign securities are valued at the quoted bid
price from a market maker or dealer. When valuations are not readily available,
securities are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures
adopted by the Trustees. All short-term securities with a remaining maturity of
sixty days or less are valued using the amortized cost method.
Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets
is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take
place on days when the domestic market is closed. If events materially
affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the
exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Portfolio's net
assets are calculated, such securities will be valued at fair value in
accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are accounted for as of the
trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost
basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
INVESTMENT INCOME--Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld (if any) is
recorded as of the ex-dividend date or as of the time that the relevant
ex-dividend and amount becomes known. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
FUTURES CONTRACTS--The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts in order
to hedge 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 and to manage exposure to changing
interest rates and securities prices. The risks of entering into futures
contracts include the possibility that the change in value of the contract may
not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. Upon
entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit either
cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract
value (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or
received daily, in cash, by the Portfolio. The variation margin is equal to the
daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gain or loss.
The Portfolio will recognize a gain or loss when the contract is closed or
expires.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS--All assets and liabilities initially
expressed in foreign currencies are trans- lated into U.S. dollars at prevailing
exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities,
dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates
of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Realized
and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translations arise from
changes in currency exchange rates and 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 from changes in
foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the
market prices of securities during the period.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS--The Portfolio may enter into
forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions of
securities denominated in a foreign currency or to manage the Portfolio's
exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The net U.S. dollar value
of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the
Portfolio and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are
determined daily using prevailing exchange rates. The Portfolio bears the risk
of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the
forward contract. Additionally, losses may

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms.
INCOME TAX STATUS--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 provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code.
FOREIGN TAXES--The Portfolio may be subject to foreign taxes on income,
gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be
recoverable. The Portfolio will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable,
based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist
in the markets in which they invest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
ADVISORY--The Portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with J.P.
Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), an affiliate of Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P.
Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J.P. Morgan"). Under the terms of the agreement, the
Portfolio pays JPMIM at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Portfolio's average
daily net assets.
The Portfolio may invest in one or more affiliated money market funds: J.P.
Morgan Institutional Prime Money Market Fund, J.P. Morgan Institutional Tax
Exempt Money Market Fund, J.P. Morgan Institutional Federal Money Market Fund
and J.P. Morgan Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund. The Advisor has agreed
to reimburse its advisory fee from the Portfolio in an amount to offset any
investment advisory, administrative fee and shareholder servicing fees related
to a Portfolio investment in an affiliated money market fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES--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 registered investment companies for which JPMIM acts
as investment advisor 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 Funds Distributor, Inc. 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 and certain other investment companies for
which Morgan provides similar services.
ADMINISTRATION--The Portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"),
a registered broker-dealer, to serve as the co-administrator and distributor
for the Fund. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI and the Portfolio,
FDI provides administrative services necessary for the operations of the
Portfolio, furnishes office space and facilities required for conducting the
business of the Portfolio and pays the compensation of the Portfolio's 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 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 Trust and certain other investment companies for which FDI
provides similar services.
FUND SERVICES--The Portfolio has a Fund Services Agreement with Pierpont
Group, Inc. ("PGI") 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 PGI.
Each Trustee receives an aggregate annual fee of $75,000 for serving on the
boards of the Trust, the J.P. Morgan Funds, the J.P. Morgan Institutional
Funds, and other registered investment companies in which they invest. The
Trustees' fees and expenses shown in the financial statements represent the
Fund's allocated portion of the total Trustees' fees and expenses. The Trust's
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also serves as Chairman of PGI and
receives compensation and employee benefits from PGI. The allocated portion of
such compensation and benefits included in the Fund Services Fee shown on the
Statement of Operations was $1,700.

3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
As of October 31, 2000, accumulated net unrealized appreciation was
$58,255,223, based on the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax
purposes of $419,367,355, which consisted of unrealized appreciation of
$88,249,036 and unrealized depreciation of $29,993,813.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended October 31, 2000, the Portfolio purchased $419,718,180
of investment securities and sold $430,420,554 of investment securities other
than U.S. government securities and short-term investments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Portfolio may have elements of risk not typically associated with
investments in the United States due to concentrated investments in a limited
number of countries or regions which may vary throughout the year. Such
concentrations may subject the Portfolio to additional risks resulting from
political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible
imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could
cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices more
volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. CREDIT AGREEMENT
The Portfolio is party to revolving line of credit agreement (the
"Agreement") as discussed more fully in Note 4 of the Fund's Notes to the
Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 13, 2000, J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated and The Chase
Manhattan Corporation announced that they have entered into an agreement and
plan of merger. The transaction is expected to close in December 2000 and is
subject to approval by shareholders of both companies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Trustees and Investors of
The International Equity 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 International Equity Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") at October 31, 2000, 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 five years in the
period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America, 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 October 31, 2000 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
