NOW THEREFORE, the By-Laws are hereby amended as follows: 1. ARTICLE VII, Sections 3, 4 and 6 are replaced in their entirety with the following: * * * * * * Section 3. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. No certificate or certificates for Shares shall be issued to Shareholders and no Shareholder shall have the right to demand or require that a certificate for Shares be issued to it. The Trust shall adopt and use a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares by electronic or other means. Section 4. LOST CERTIFICATES. No new certificate for Shares shall be issued to replace an old certificate that is surrendered to the Trust for cancellation. In case any Share certificate or certificate for any other security is lost, stolen, or destroyed, such certificate shall be cancelled and the ownership of an uncertificated Share shall be recorded upon the books of the Trust, on such terms and conditions as the Board may require, including a provision for indemnification of the Board and the Trust secured by a bond or other adequate security sufficient to protect the Trust and the Board against any claim that may be made against either, including any expense or liability on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of the certificate. * * * * * * Section 6. TRANSFERS OF SHARES. Shares are transferable, if authorized by the Declaration of Trust, only on the record books of the Trust by the Person in whose name such Shares are registered, or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact or representative. Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of certificated Shares, and upon the surrender for cancellation of such certificates representing the number of Shares to be transferred with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Trust or its agents may reasonably require, the Trust shall cancel the old certificate and record the transaction and ownership of uncertificated Shares upon the books of the Trust. Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of uncertificated Shares, such uncertificated Shares shall be transferred on the record books to the Person entitled thereto. The Trust, its transfer agent or other duly authorized agents may refuse any requested transfer of Shares, or request additional evidence of authority to safeguard the assets or interests of the Trust or of its Shareholders, in their sole discretion. In all cases of transfer by an attorney-in-fact, the original power of attorney, or an official copy thereof duly certified, shall be deposited and remain with the Trust, its transfer agent or other duly authorized agent. In case of transfers by executors, administrators, guardians or other legal representatives, duly authenticated evidence of their authority shall be presented to the Trust, its transfer agent or other duly authorized agent, and may be required to be deposited and remain with the Trust, its transfer agent or other duly authorized agent. Adopted and approved as of October 24, 2017 by the Board of Trustees. /s/ Steven J. Gray__________ (Signature) Steven J. Gray (Name) Assistant Secretary (Title) INTERNAL CONTROL RPT 3 IFT_G_1_a_iii_0618.txt INTERNAL CONTROL REPORT Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Trustees of Institutional Fiduciary Trust and Shareholders of Money Market Portfolio In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Money Market Portfolio (the "Fund") as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), we considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of June 30, 2018. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Trustees of Institutional Fiduciary 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. /s/PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP San Francisco, California August 16, 2018
