ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Organization
BT Institutional Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as
amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized on July 21, 1986, as a
business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Short/Intermediate U.S. Government
Securities Fund (the "Fund") is one of the funds offered to investors by the Trust. The Fund commenced
operations and began offering shares of beneficial interest on August 24, 1992. The Fund invests substantially all

open-end management investment company registered under the Act. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment
objective by investing all of its investable assets in the Portfolio. The value of such investment in the Portfolio
reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. At December 31, 1995, the Fund's
investment was approximately 42% of the Portfolio.
