Economic Overview


Dear Shareholder:

For the past few years, economic activity has been restrained by the unwinding of the late-1990s boom.

During the boom of the late 1990s, companies invested large quantities of money in equipment to produce goods, and they hired more and more employees at higher salaries. Individuals bought goods and services at a robust pace. And stock prices skyrocketed. Then stock prices tumbled. Consumers, feeling poorer, bought fewer goods. And when demand for their goods slowed, companies slashed capital investment (in equipment, new factories, etc.) and cut jobs. This caused the economy to slow down.

Now we see the economy recovering in a series of starts and stops, thanks to two conflicting factors. On one hand, aggressive government policies have kept the economy from stumbling too badly as companies and individuals adjusted to the slowdown. Low interest rates and tax cuts made it easier for consumers to keep spending money, especially on high-price items such as new homes and cars. And when consumers spent money, businesses were able to manufacture more goods - and continue to make money. On the other hand, increased geopolitical uncertainty - fears of terrorism and worries about the effect of a potential war in Iraq - has made already-hesitant consumers and businesses even more reluctant to spend and expand.

The outlook for 2003 hinges on how these factors play out. The recovery is likely to be slow for two reasons. First, individuals still need to increase their savings levels. And second, businesses still have more equipment, factories and inventories than they need. But government policies should be helpful. The Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates low, and tax relief packages will likely further stimulate spending. And perhaps most importantly, we believe that geopolitical uncertainty will decrease. That doesn't mean that war will be averted in the Middle East. However, any conflict in the Middle East would create the potential for oil prices to increase, which could, in turn, cause a significant shock to the economy.

If these shocks are avoided, the economic recovery should solidify. This will improve the financial markets. We expect the stock market to improve as businesses begin to make money again - but even after the price declines of the past three years, stocks are still not cheap, so returns will likely be lower than they were in the 1980s and 1990s. As for the fixed income market,

interest rates and rates of return on all financial assets will be much lower than in the past few decades. That's because the US is likely to remain in an environment of price stability (i.e., low inflation) similar to the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Of course, there are risks to our forecast. The economic rebound could be more powerful than we anticipate - especially if there is a quick and favorable resolution of tensions in the Middle East. But the rebound also could be less powerful than we anticipate. For example, the economy is especially vulnerable to adverse geopolitical shocks, which could cause already-timid consumers and businesses to hunker down further.

A similar forecast exists for international economies. We expect a modest growth in corporate profits across the board. And foreign stocks are relatively cheap. As a result, we expect single-digit positive returns in the overseas stock markets. However, our optimism is tempered by geopolitical uncertainty and its potential impact on oil.

A group of investment professionals is responsible for the day-to-day management of the portfolio.

In the following interview, Portfolio Manager Christine C. Haddad discusses the market environment and the team's approach to managing Treasury Money Portfolio during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2002, and offers an outlook for the months ahead.

Q: How did the fund perform over the annual period?

A: Over the 12 months ended December 31, 2002, Treasury Money Fund Institutional's seven-day annualized yield declined from 1.82% as of December 31, 2001 to 1.17% as of December 31, 2002, primarily reflecting the ripple effect of the Federal Reserve Board's 11 interest rate cuts in 2001 and its 50-basis-point (i.e., one-half of a percentage point) interest rate cut on November 6, 2002. The Federal Reserve Board's latest interest rate cut had only a modest impact on the fund's yields. Prior to the rate cut, management purchased higher-yielding securities, which benefited the funds' yields. These securities are expected to continue to benefit the fund's yields until they mature. At maturity, the proceeds will be reinvested in securities that reflect the current level of rates, which is likely to be lower given the Federal Reserve Board rate cut. For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2002, the fund returned 1.55%, compared with the 1.34% average return of the iMoneyNet US Treasury and Repo Institutional Money Funds Average.1

Q: Until November, the Federal Reserve Board held interest rates steady through the annual period, following its aggressive easing in 2001. What dominated money market activity instead?

1 Money Fund Report Averages, a service of iMoneyNet, Inc., are averages for categories of similar money market funds.

A: While the targeted federal funds rate2 remained unchanged until November 6, Federal Reserve Board policy still had a major impact on the backdrop to money market activity. In March 2002, the Federal Reserve Board had shifted from an easing to a neutral bias, citing a slow economic recovery in progress. In August, an uneven economic recovery led the Federal Reserve Board to say that it was paying close attention to the financial markets in its future policy decisions. In September, the Federal Reserve Board left rates unchanged, but it was a decision opposed by two board members. Then, on November 6, following a weak employment report as well as other unfavorable economic reports, the Federal Reserve Board cut the targeted federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.25% in an effort to jump-start an economy that it thought may be decelerating. This surprisingly aggressive move gave investors some relief that support was in the pipeline for an economy in what Fed chairman Alan Greenspan called a "soft spot."

2 The federal funds rate is the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans and is a closely watched indicator of US Federal Reserve Board monetary policy.

Q: How did the pace of US economic growth influence the money markets?

A: As 2002 began, the weakened state of the US economy caused much uncertainty in the financial markets. Many investors remained skeptical as to whether the Federal Reserve Board had completed its interest rate cutting cycle. Despite a stream of economic data that pointed to signs of bottoming in the general US economy, fears related to the ongoing war on terrorism kept the Federal Reserve Board on hold. As the second quarter got under way, the US economic recovery seemed a bit more tentative than during the first quarter. Business spending began to pick up, and the consumer continued to spend. However, no improvement could be detected in the labor market, and manufacturing in the US also remained weak. In reaction, the one-year US Treasury yield curve flattened somewhat.

During the second half of the year, the US economy grew slightly on the back of strong consumer demand for houses, housing-related items and automobiles. Still, the ongoing threat of war, volatility in the stock market, rising oil prices and relatively soft employment numbers all weighed on consumer confidence, which slumped in October to its lowest level since 1993. Business spending showed no convincing signs of a pickup until November, when a rise in durable goods orders signaled a possible turnaround. In fact, November seems to have been a turning point for the economy.

The Republicans' win of the House and Senate increased prospects for fiscal stimulus to help boost the struggling economy. Fears of an impending war with Iraq subsided with the UN weapons inspections. As calmer spirits prevailed, investors returned to the stock market, which climbed to a second consecutive monthly gain of more than 5%. Consumer confidence rallied despite a poor labor market. The holiday season for retailers was softer than anticipated, and the stock market declined by about 6% in December, but the US economy still managed to chug along at a positive rate.

Also in December, the Bush administration shook up its economic team, with the president's dismissal of the Treasury secretary and White House economic advisor. Though midterm cabinet reappointments are not unusual, the financial markets took this as a sign that the president is looking to revive the economy with a new stimulus plan, including aggressive tax cuts. In addition, there was some speculation that US Treasury notes and bonds, including the 30-year bond, may be reissued with a new economic team.

Given this backdrop, many investors sought out the relative safety of fixed-income securities as a safe haven for most of the annual period. While the short end of the money market yield curve held steady, longer-term yields fell substantially, thus flattening the yield curve. As the financial markets assigned a high probability to an interest rate cut, the money market yield curve became inverted at some points during October. In November, as positive economic data moved investors out of bonds and into stocks, the money market yield curve became positively sloped and continued to steepen, offering attractive buying opportunities. In December, the yield curve flattened again just a bit.

Q: In light of recent market conditions, what has been the fund's strategy?

A: We were able to produce competitive yields in Treasury Money Fund Institutional for the annual period. In light of the uncertainty in the financial markets and in the US economy, we maintained an aggressive average weighted maturity, generally in the 50- to 55-day range, for most of the annual period. At the start of the year, we implemented a "barbell strategy," whereby we purchased short-dated repurchase agreements for liquidity and also focused on adding yield through six-month US Treasury bills to take advantage of the higher yields available at the long end of the money market yield curve. We also actively traded US Treasury bills during the second calendar quarter, as there were several instances when the market rallied due to technical factors. We decided to take profits, and then we purchased the US Treasury bills back after the market had reversed course. In addition to longer-dated US Treasury bills, we positioned the portfolio in term repurchase agreements, as we did not anticipate any official Federal Reserve Board changes to interest rates until the fourth quarter.

Toward the end of the third calendar quarter when the yield curve flattened and the large percentage of shorter-term holdings became vulnerable to potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve Board, we adjusted our strategy to include purchases of securities in the middle of the Treasury yield curve. We focused our investments during October in the one- to three- month range, locking in attractive rates and making the portfolio less susceptible to the Federal Reserve Board action. In November, as the yield curve steepened again, we bought primarily in the three- to six- month range, where we were able to pick up significant yield while maintaining the fund's weighted average maturity at the longer end of its range. For the first time in several months, we were able to add floating-rate note product to the portfolio, as the flat yield curve of the prior six to eight months had not made this an attractive investment. In December, we bought investments across the one- to six-month range.

Q: What is your outlook for the coming months?

A: The US economy no longer appears in danger of dipping back into recession, although corporations have yet to join consumers in the recovery. With little inflation pressure evident, we expect the Federal Reserve Board to leave rates unchanged at its January meeting. However, reports from UN weapons inspectors in Iraq, North Korea's renewal of its nuclear program, a spike in oil prices and the ongoing softness in the US dollar threaten to keep markets on edge in the early months of 2003.

As the new year begins, we expect the Federal Reserve Board to remain vigilant and do whatever is necessary, within its power, to move the economy forward. While Chairman Greenspan has said that he does not think the recent 50-basis-point cut is going to be inflationary, as soon as the Federal Reserve Board sees signs of heightened inflation, the interest rate reductions will be over. It should also be remembered that because changes in monetary policy typically take at least six months to affect the economy, it will be a while before we know how effective the November action will be in moving the economy forward. With the Federal Reserve Board having assumed a neutral bias at its November meeting, we think short-term interest rates should remain relatively stable well into 2003. We further believe that fiscal stimulus in the form of tax cuts, spending programs and more by the US government will play as crucial a role as the Federal Reserve Board in spurring economic growth.

We do expect the money market yield curve to steepen in the near future (i.e., for six- to 12-month yields to become more attractive). We are thus prepared to cautiously extend the average maturity of the fund at the appropriate time. We intend to maintain our conservative investment strategies. We will also seek to provide high current income consistent with liquidity and capital preservation.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time, based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation.

Notes to Financial Statements


Note 1-Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

A. Organization

BT Institutional Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Treasury Money Fund Institutional (the "Fund") is one of the funds the Trust offers to investors.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital by investing in debt obligations of the US Treasury or repurchase agreements collateralized by US Treasury debt obligations. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Treasury Money Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), an open-end management investment company registered under the Act. Details concerning the Portfolio's investment objective and policies and the risk factors associated with the Portfolio's investments are described in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

On December 31, 2002, the Fund owned approximately 73% of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

B. Security Valuation

The Fund determines the valuation of its investment in the Portfolio by multiplying its proportionate ownership of the Portfolio by the total value of the Portfolio's net assets.

The Portfolio's policies for determining the value of its net assets are discussed in the Portfolio's Financial Statements, which accompany this report.

C. Federal Income Taxes

The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

D. Distributions of Income and Gains

All of the net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. The Fund reserves the right to include realized short-term gains, if any, in such daily dividends. Distributions of the Fund's pro rata share of the Portfolio's net realized long-term capital gains, if any, and any undistributed net realized short-term capital gains are normally declared and paid annually at the end of the fiscal year in which they were earned to the extent they are not offset by any capital loss carryforwards. The Fund may also pay capital gains distributions to avoid federal income tax.

Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book to tax differences for the Fund.

At December 31, 2002, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income
$ 68,860

In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:

2002

2001

Distributions from ordinary income*
$ 7,951,156 $ 33,073,088

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

E. Other

The Fund receives a daily allocation of the Portfolio's net investment income and net realized gains and losses in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses that are attributed to the Trust within the Fund are allocated based on their respective net assets.

Note 2-Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICCC" or the "Administrator"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, is the Fund's Administrator. The Fund pays the Administrator an annual fee ("Administrator service fee") based on its average daily net assets which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.05%.

The Administrator has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund through April 30, 2003, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, including expenses of the Portfolio. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2002 the Fund did not impose $119,380 of its Administrator service fee.

ICCC is also the Fund's accounting and transfer agent. Effective December 16, 2002, the Board of Trustees approved changing the Fund's transfer agent from ICCC to Scudder Investment Services Corp.

Certain officers and a Trustee of the Fund are also officers or Trustees of ICCC or affiliated with Deutsche Bank AG. These persons are not paid by the Fund for serving in these capacities. The Fund pays each Trustee not affiliated with Deutsche Bank AG retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

Note 3-Concentration of Ownership

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.

At December 31, 2002, there was one shareholder who held 18% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1-Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

A. Organization

The Treasury Money Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company organized as a New York business trust.

Details concerning the Portfolio's investment objective and policies and the risk factors associated with the Portfolio's investments are described in the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.

B. Security Valuation

The Portfolio's securities are valued utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

C. Repurchase Agreements

The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest.

D. Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends of income and capital gains from investment companies are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

The Portfolio makes a daily allocation of its net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from securities transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.

E. Federal Income Taxes

The Portfolio is considered a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.

Note 2-Fees and Transaction with Affiliates

Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc." or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, is the Portfolio's Advisor. The Portfolio pays the Advisor an annual fee based on its average daily net assets which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15%.

For the year ended December 31, 2002 the Portfolio did not impose $104,484 of its Advisory fee. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2002, the Advisory fee was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.14% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

Effective July 30, 2002, the Portfolio, as approved by the Portfolio's trustees and shareholders, implemented a new advisory agreement with DeAM, Inc. The new advisory agreement contains substantially similar provisions to the pre-existing advisory agreement except that, to the extent permissible by law and subject to other Board approval DeAM, Inc. would be authorized to appoint certain affiliates as subadvisor to perform certain of DeAM, Inc.'s duties.

Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICCC" or the "Administrator"), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, is the Portfolio's Administrator. The Portfolio pays the Administrator an annual fee ("Administrator service fee") based on its average daily net assets which is calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05%.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, an affiliate of the Advisor and Administrator, is the Portfolio's custodian.

Certain officers and a Trustee of the Portfolio are also officers or Trustees of ICCC or affiliated with Deutsche Bank AG. These persons are not paid by the Portfolio for serving in these capacities. The Portfolio pays each Trustee not affiliated with Deutsche Bank AG retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

Note 3-Line of Credit

The Portfolio and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $200 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, pro rata based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.625 percent. During the period the Portfolio had no borrowings on the line of credit.

Note 4-Subsequent Event

On November 5, 2002 Deutsche Bank AG ("DBAG") agreed to sell its Global Securities Services business to State Street Corp. ("State Street"). This sale included US custody, securities lending, and other processing services located in Europe, Asia, and the Americas and the transaction closed on January 31, 2003 (the "Closing Date"). The actual transition and migration of assets, technology, and infrastructure will take more than a year to complete. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas ("DBT Co.") currently is the custodian to the Fund and the Portfolio (collectively the "Funds"). DBT Co.'s custody business is one of the businesses affected by the transaction with State Street. Since many of DBT Co.'s employees became State Street employees on the Closing Date, the Funds' Board approved on December 16, 2002 an interim outsourcing arrangement that allows State Street to provide custodial services to the Funds, subject to DBT Co. oversight. On or about February 24, 2003 the Board will consider whether to appoint State Street as the Funds' permanent custodian.


Report of Independent Accountants


To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of Treasury Money Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Treasury Money Portfolio (hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio") at December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (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 audits 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 December 31, 2002 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
