REGISTRANT: J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS
(J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL PRIME MONEY MARKET FUND)
[GRAPHIC] GOAL
The fund's goal is to maximize current income consistent with the preservation
of capital and same-day liquidity. This goal can be changed without shareholder
approval.
[GRAPHIC] INVESTMENT APPROACH
Principal Strategies
The fund looks for investments across a broad spectrum of U.S.
dollar-denominated money market securities, typically emphasizing different
types of securities at different times in order to take advantage of changing
yield differentials. The fund's investments may include obligations issued by
the U.S. Treasury, government agencies, domestic and foreign banks and
corporations, foreign governments, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase
agreements, as well as asset-backed securities, taxable municipal obligations,
and other money market instruments. Some of these investments may be illiquid or
purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
The fund's yield will vary in response to changes in interest rates. How well
the fund's yield compares to the yields of similar money market funds will
depend on the success of the investment process described on page 10.
Principal Risks
As with all money market funds, the fund's investments are subject to various
risks, which, while generally considered to be minimal, could cause its share
price to fall below $1. For example, the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio
security or the counterparty to a contract could default on its obligation. An
unexpected rise in interest rates could also lead to a loss in share price if
the fund is near the maximum allowable dollar weighted average maturity
(currently not to exceed 90 days) at the time. To the extent that the fund
invests in foreign securities, the fund could lose money because of foreign
government actions, political instability, or lack of adequate and accurate
information. Also, the fund may have difficulty valuing its illiquid holdings
and may be unable to sell them at the time or price it desires. While these
possibilities exist, the fund's investment process and management policies are
designed to minimize the likelihood and impact of these risks. To date, through
this process, the fund's share price has never deviated from $1.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1
per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
The fund's assets are managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., a
subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. J.P. Morgan Chase currently manages
more than $700 billion, including more than $___ billion using similar
strategies as the fund.
The advisor uses a team of portfolio managers and traders to manage the fund.
The portfolio management team is led by John Donohue, vice president, who has
been on the team since joining J.P. Morgan in June of 1997 from Goldman Sachs &
Co., where he was an Institutional Money Market Portfolio Manager; and Mark
Settles, vice president, who has been on the team since November 1999 and has
been at J.P. Morgan since 1994. Prior to managing this fund, Mr. Settles was a
fixed income trader on J.P. Morgan's New York and London trading desks. The
traders on the team are Donald Clemmenson, vice president, who has been on the
team since its inception; Gunter Heiland, vice president, who has been on the
team since joining J.P. Morgan in June of 1997 from Salomon Brothers, where he
was a sales assistant; and Kimberly Weil, who has been on the team since its
inception.

REGISTRANT: J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS
(J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND)
[GRAPHIC] GOAL
The fund's goal is to provide high current income consistent with the
preservation of capital and same-day liquidity. This goal can be changed only
with shareholder approval.
[GRAPHIC] INVESTMENT APPROACH
Principal Strategies
The fund purchases securities that offer the highest credit quality and provide
regular income. It invests primarily in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase
agreements collateralized by these obligations. Some of these investments may be
purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. The fund may also invest
in certain bank obligations when Treasury obligations or repurchase agreements
are temporarily unavailable to the fund.
The fund's yield will vary in response to changes in interest rates. How well
the fund's yield compares to the yields of similar money market funds will
depend on the success of the investment process described on page 10.
The portion of the fund's income derived from direct investments in U.S.
Treasury obligations may be exempt from state and local personal income taxes.
Principal Risks
While the fund's U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and
credit of the federal government, investors should bear in mind that any
repurchase agreements the fund may hold do not have this guarantee (even though
they are fully collateralized by Treasuries), and that in any case, government
guarantees do not extend to shares of the fund itself.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1
per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

[GRAPHIC] GOAL
The fund's goal is to provide high current income consistent with the
preservation of capital and same-day liquidity. This goal can be changed without
shareholder approval.
[GRAPHIC] INVESTMENT APPROACH
Principal Strategies
The fund purchases securities that offer very high credit quality and pay
regular income that is generally free from state and local income taxes. It
invests exclusively in U.S. government agency obligations such as the Federal
Farm Credit Bank, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Federal Home Loan Bank,
the Student Loan Marketing Association, and in obligations of the U.S. Treasury.
Some of these investments may be purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis.
The fund's yield will vary in response to changes in interest rates. How well
the fund's yield compares to the yields of similar money market funds will
depend on the success of the investment process described on page 10.
Principal Risks
While the fund's U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and
credit of the Government, investors should bear in mind that any agency
obligations the fund may hold do not have this guarantee, and that in any case
government guarantees do not extend to shares of the fund itself.
Most of the fund's income is generally exempt from state and local personal
income taxes and from some corporate income taxes (although not federal income
taxes). Because of this beneficial tax status, the fund's yields are generally
lower than those of taxable money market funds when compared on a pre-tax basis.
As with all money market funds, the fund's investments are subject to various
risks, which, while generally considered to be minimal, could cause its share
price to fall below $1. For example, the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio
security could default on its obligation. An unexpected rise in interest rates
could also lead to a loss in share price if the fund is near the maximum
allowable dollar weighted average maturity (currently not to exceed 90 days) at
the time. However, the fund's investment process and management policies are
designed to minimize the likelihood and impact of these risks. To date, through
this process, the fund's share price has never deviated from $1.

REGISTRANT: J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS
(J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND)
[GRAPHIC] GOAL
The fund's goal is to maximize current income that is exempt from federal
income tax consistent with the preservation of capital and same-day liquidity.
This goal can be changed without shareholder approval.
[GRAPHIC] INVESTMENT APPROACH
Principal Strategies
The fund invests primarily in high quality municipal obligations whose income is
exempt from federal income taxes. The fund's municipal obligations must fall
into the highest short-term rating category (top two highest categories for New
York State obligations) or be of equivalent quality. The fund may also invest in
certain structured municipal obligations, and in certain municipal or other
obligations whose income is subject to tax, including the alternative minimum
tax. Although the fund is permitted to hold these other obligations or cash, it
aims to be fully invested in municipal obligations. In order to maintain
liquidity, the fund may buy securities with puts that allow the fund to
liquidate the securities on short notice. Some of the fund's securities may be
purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
The fund's yield will vary in response to changes in interest rates. How well
the fund's yield compares to the yields of similar money market funds will
depend on the success of the investment process described on page 10.
The fund's income is generally exempt from federal income taxes. A small portion
may be exempt from state or local income taxes.
Principal Risks
As with all money market funds, the fund's investments are subject to various
risks, which, while generally considered to be minimal, could cause its share
price to fall below $1. For example, the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio
security or the counterparty to a contract could default on its obligation. An

(1) The fund commenced operations on 7/12/93. Returns reflect performance of
The Pierpont Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, the fund's predecessor, prior
to that date.
(2) The fund's fiscal year end is 11/30. Prior to 1999, the fund's fiscal year
end was 8/31.
(3) The fund has a master/feeder structure as described on page 15. This table
shows the fund's expenses and its share of master portfolio expenses for
the past fiscal year expressed as a percentage of the fund's average net
assets.
(4) Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan Guaranty"), an
affiliate of J.P. Morgan, has agreed to waive and/or reimburse all fund
expenses (except for those allocated to the fund by the master portfolio,
and interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses). J.P. Morgan will not
waive/reimburse fund expenses if such waiver/reimbursement would cause
total operating expenses to be less than 0.20%, and in no case will total
operating expenses exceed 0.25% of the fund's average daily net assets
through 2/28/02.

MONEY MARKET MANAGEMENT APPROACH
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
J.P. MORGAN
Known for its commitment to proprietary research and its disciplined investment
strategies, J.P. Morgan Chase is the asset management choice for many of the
world's most respected corporations, financial institutions, governments, and
individuals. Today, J.P. Morgan Chase employs approximately ___ research
analysts, capital market researchers, portfolio managers and traders around the
world and has more than $700 billion in assets under management, including
assets managed by the funds' advisor, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.
J.P. MORGAN INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET FUNDS
Each of these funds invests in high-quality short-term debt securities by
investing through a master portfolio (another fund with the same goal). Each
fund accrues dividends daily, pays them to shareholders monthly, and seeks to
maintain a stable $1 share price.
THE SPECTRUM OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS
The funds described in this prospectus differ primarily in the types of
securities they hold and in the tax status of the income they offer. The table
below provides an overview of the main types of securities in which each fund
may invest. The distinguishing features of each money market fund are described
in more detail on the preceding pages.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who May Want to Invest
The funds are designed for investors who:
o want an investment that strives to preserve capital
o want regular income from a high quality portfolio
o want a highly liquid investment
o are looking for an interim investment
o are pursuing a short-term goal
o are seeking income that is generally exempt from state and local income
taxes (in the case of Federal Money Market Fund) or exempt from federal
income tax (in the case of Tax Exempt Money Market Fund)
The funds are not designed for investors who:
o are investing for long-term growth
o are investing for high income
o require the added security of the FDIC insurance
o in the case of Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, are investing through an IRA
or other tax-advantaged retirement plan
Money Market Funds and Stability
Money market funds are subject to a range of federal regulations designed to
promote stability. For example, money market funds must maintain a weighted
average maturity of no more than 90 days, and generally may not invest in any
securities with a remaining maturity of more than 13 months. Keeping the
weighted average maturity this short helps funds in their pursuit of a stable $1
share price.

10 | MONEY MARKET MANAGEMENT APPROACH
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MONEY MARKET INVESTMENT PROCESS
While each fund follows its own strategy, the funds as a group share a single
investment philosophy. This philosophy, developed by the funds' advisor,
emphasizes investment quality through in-depth research of short-term securities
and their issuers. This allows each fund to focus on providing current income
without compromising share price stability.
In researching short-term securities, J.P. Morgan's credit analysts enhance the
data furnished by rating agencies by drawing on the insights of J.P. Morgan's
fixed income trading specialists and equity analysts. Only securities highly
rated by independent rating agencies as well as J.P. Morgan's proprietary
ratings system are considered for investment.
In managing the funds described in this prospectus, J.P. Morgan employs a
three-step process that combines maturity determination, sector allocation and
fundamental research for identifying portfolio securities:
[GRAPHIC]
J.P. Morgan uses a disciplined process to
control each fund's sensitivity
to interest rates
Maturity determination Based on analysis of a range of factors, including
current yields, economic forecasts, and anticipated fiscal and monetary
policies, J.P. Morgan establishes the desired dollar weighted average maturity
for each fund within the permissible 90-day range. Controlling weighted average
maturity allows the funds to manage risk, since securities with shorter
maturities are typically less sensitive to interest rate shifts than those with
longer maturities.
[GRAPHIC]
The funds invest across different
sectors for diversification and to
take advantage of yield spreads
Sector allocation Analysis of the yields available in different sectors of the
short-term debt market allows J.P. Morgan to adjust each fund's sector
allocation, with the goal of enhancing current income while also maintaining
diversification across permissible sectors.
[GRAPHIC]
Each fund selects its securities as
described earlier in this prospectus
Security selection Based on the results of the firm's credit research and each
fund's maturity determination and sector allocation, the portfolio managers and
dedicated fixed-income traders make buy and sell decisions according to each
fund's goal and strategy.

your request in writing (see below).
In writing
o Write a letter of instruction that includes the following information: The

Redemption in kind
o Each fund reserves the right to make redemptions of over $250,000 in
securities rather than in cash.
ACCOUNT AND TRANSACTION POLICIES
Telephone orders The funds accept telephone orders from all shareholders. The
funds will record telephone orders or take other reasonable precautions.
However, if a fund does take such steps to ensure the authenticity of an order,
you may bear any loss if the order later proves fraudulent.
Exchanges You may exchange shares in these funds for shares in any other J.P.
Morgan Institutional or J.P. Morgan mutual fund at no charge (subject to the
securities laws of your state). When making exchanges, it is important to
observe any applicable minimums. Keep in mind that, for tax purposes, an
exchange is considered a sale.
A fund may alter, limit, or suspend its exchange policy at any time.
Business days and NAV calculations The funds' regular business days are the same
as those of the New York Stock Exchange. The Federal and Tax Exempt Money Market
Funds calculate their net asset value per share (NAV) every business day at 4:00
p.m. eastern time. The Prime and Treasury Money Market Funds calculate their NAV
every business day at 5:00 p.m. eastern time.
Timing of orders Orders to buy or sell shares are executed at the next NAV
calculated after the order has been accepted. Purchase and redemption orders for
each fund must be received at the times indicated in the table below:
Fund Cut-off Time
Prime Money Market 5:00 p.m.
Treasury Money Market 5:00 p.m.
Federal Money Market 2:00 p.m.
Tax Exempt Money Market 12:00 noon

YOUR INVESTMENT | 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the purchase to be effective and dividends to be earned on the same day,
immediately available funds must be received by a fund by its close of business
on that day. A fund has the right to suspend redemption of shares as permitted
by law and to postpone payment of proceeds for up to seven days.
Timing of settlements When you buy shares, you will become the owner of record
when a fund receives your payment.
Redemption orders for each fund received by the cut-off times will be paid in
immediately available funds, normally on the same day, according to instructions
on file. In-kind redemptions (described on page 13) will be available as
promptly as is feasible.
When you sell shares that you recently purchased by check, your order will be
executed at the next NAV but the proceeds will not be available until your check
clears. This may take up to 15 days.
Statements and reports The funds send monthly account statements as well as
confirmations after each purchase or sale of shares (except reinvestments).
Every six months, each fund sends out an annual or semi-annual report containing
information on its holdings and a discussion of recent and anticipated market
conditions and fund performance.
Accounts with below-minimum balances If your account balance falls below the
minimum for 30 days as a result of selling shares (and not because of
performance), the fund reserves the right to request that you buy more shares or
close your account. If your account balance is still below the minimum 60 days
after notification, the fund reserves the right to close out your account and
send the proceeds to the address of record.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Substantially all income dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. If all
of an investor's shares are redeemed during the month, accrued but unpaid
dividends are paid with the redemption proceeds. Shares of the funds earn
dividends on the business day their purchase is effective, but not on the
business day their redemption is effective.
Dividends and distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares.
Alternatively, you may instruct your financial professional or J.P. Morgan Funds
Services to have them sent to you by check, credited to a separate account, or
invested in another J.P. Morgan Institutional Fund.
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
In general, selling shares, exchanging shares, and receiving distributions
(whether reinvested or taken in cash) are all taxable events. The transactions
below typically create the following tax liabilities:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transaction Tax status
Income dividends from Prime Ordinary income
Money Market, Treasury Money
Market and Federal Money
Market Funds
Income dividends from Tax Generally exempt from federal
Exempt Money Market Fund income taxes
Short-term capital gains Ordinary income
distributions
Every January, each fund issues tax information on its distributions for the
previous year.
Any investor for whom a fund does not have a valid taxpayer identification
number will be subject to backup withholding for taxes.
The tax considerations described in this section do not apply to tax-deferred
accounts or other non-taxable entities.
Because each investor's tax circumstances are unique, please consult your tax
professional about your fund investment.
14 | FUND DETAILS
FUND DETAILS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MASTER/FEEDER STRUCTURE
As noted earlier, each fund is a series of J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds, a
Massachusetts business trust, and a "feeder" fund that invests in a master
portfolio. (Except where indicated, this prospectus uses the term "the fund" to
mean the feeder fund and its master portfolio taken together.)
Each master portfolio accepts investments from other feeder funds, and all the
feeders of a given master portfolio bear the portfolio's expenses in proportion
to their assets. However, each feeder can set its own transaction minimums,
fund-specific expenses, and other conditions. This means that one feeder could
offer access to the same master portfolio on more attractive terms, or could
experience better performance, than another feeder. Information about other
feeders is available by calling 1-800-766-7722. Generally, when a master
portfolio seeks a vote, its feeder fund will hold a shareholder meeting and cast
its vote proportionately, as instructed by its shareholders. Fund shareholders
are entitled to one full or fractional vote for each dollar or fraction of a
dollar invested.
Each feeder fund and its master portfolio expect to maintain consistent goals,
but if they do not, the feeder fund will withdraw from the master portfolio,
receiving its assets either in cash or securities. Each feeder fund's trustees
would then consider whether the feeder fund should hire its own investment
adviser, invest in a different master portfolio, or take other action.
MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
The feeder funds described in this prospectus and their corresponding master
portfolios are all governed by the same trustees. The trustees are responsible
for overseeing all business activities. The trustees are assisted by Pierpont
Group, Inc., which they own and operate on a cost basis; costs are shared by all
funds governed by these trustees. Funds Distributor Inc., as co-administrator,
along with J.P. Morgan, provides fund officers. J.P. Morgan, as
co-administrator, oversees each fund's other service providers.
J.P. Morgan, subject to the expense reimbursements described earlier in this
prospectus, receives the following fees for investment advisory and other
services:
Advisory services 0.20% of the first $1 billion of
each master portfolio's average
net assets plus 0.10% over
$1 billion
Administrative services Master portfolio's and fund's
(fee shared with Funds pro-rata portions of 0.09% of
Distributor, Inc.) the first $7 billion of average
net assets in J.P. Morgan-
advised portfolios, plus 0.04%
over $7 billion
Shareholder services 0.10% of each fund's
average net assets
J.P. Morgan may also pay fees to certain firms and professionals for providing
recordkeeping or other services in connection with investments in a fund.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial tables are intended to help you understand each fund's financial
performance for the past one through five fiscal years or periods, as
applicable. Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund
share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would
have earned (or lost) on an investment in a fund (assuming reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, whose reports, along with each fund's financial
statements, are included in the respective fund's annual report, which are
available upon request.
