Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Institutional Trust:
We have examined managements assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that JPMorgan Institutional Trust (the Trust) complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act) as of October 31, 2011. Management is responsible for the Trusts compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assertion about the Trusts compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Trusts compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of October 31, 2011, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from May 31, 2011 (the date of our last examination), through October 31, 2011:
| Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of the J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, New York (the Custodian) at 4 Chase Metrotech Center, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 11245 without prior notice to management; |
| Confirmation of all securities of the Trust held at the Depository Trust Company and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in book entry form; |
| Confirmation of all securities out on loan with Goldman Sachs Agency Lending, the securities lending agent; |
| Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Trust and the Custodian; |
| Agreement of 3 security purchases and 3 security sales or maturities since our last report from the books and records of the Trust to broker confirmations or, where broker replies were not received, the application of alternative procedures. |
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Trusts compliance with specified requirements.
In our opinion, managements assertion that JPMorgan Institutional Trust complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of October 31, 2011 with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Trust is fairly stated, in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Institutional Trust and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
