COLD MARKETS CAN TURN HOT IN NO TIME

[PHOTO]
I.P. "KIP" KNELMAN
PRESIDENT

In 1994, the U.S. and European stock markets were sluggish, Latin America was in
crisis and Asia was the "economic miracle." Today, Latin America is perceived as
the strongest emerging market while Asia finds itself struggling. Meanwhile, the
U.S. stock market has doubled in three years. And now, Europe seems to be in the
midst of its own miracle.

Thanks to advances in communications technology and falling trade barriers, we
live in a global economy where companies can do business anywhere in the world
and virtually no place on earth is unreachable by investors. Yet, as we've seen
these past few years, markets still move quite independently of each other.

Last fall, Asia's stock markets plummeted, threatening to take the rest of the
markets down with them. In the United States, the Dow Jones Industrial Average,
which peaked at 8,259 on August 6, 1997, fell more than 1,000 points by late
October. But while Asia continued to descend, U.S. stocks staged an impressive
rally. By early December, the Dow had virtually regained all its lost ground.

True, U.S. stocks took another tumble in December and January as more bad news
came out of Asia and a scandal rocked the White House. But once again, the
market roared back by early February as investors were reminded just how good
the economy remained in the United States. The Asian debacle slowed projected
U.S. growth in 1998, which bodes well for keeping interest rates and inflation
low. The President submitted the first balanced federal budget in 30 years, and
corporate profits, although growing slower than before, were stronger than
initially projected.

In Latin America, investors also feared that the "Asian contagion" would depress
other emerging markets. Although there was initial negative impact, Latin
American stock markets held up surprisingly well. A few years back, the region
had its own crisis, and it responded by reducing tariffs, clamping down on
credit, cutting budget deficits and accelerating its privatization programs. It
remains to be seen whether Asia is willing to take the same medicine to solve
its economic problems.

In Europe, companies are streamlining operations, focusing on shareholder value
and the upcoming transition to a single European currency beginning in 1999. In
order to qualify for the Euro, a country must have limited budget deficits, low
inflation and moderate interest rates--which also makes for excellent stock
markets. The countries making up the European Union will comprise an economy and
a bond market that is larger than that of the United States. Investor sentiment
is positive in Europe, and the stock markets there have been strong since early
1997.

So as we move deeper into 1998, we can see that there are clear differences in
markets throughout the world. But markets are constantly shifting. The best way
to make sure you participate in the strongest areas of the world is to be
diversified geographically--and be patient. Ice cold markets can turn hot in no
time.

                       IAI BOND FUND, IAI GOVERNMENT FUND


ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

A summary of economic outlook as provided by Larry Hill, IAI's Chief Fixed
Income Officer, follows.

The current economic backdrop is ideal for financial assets. Strong money growth
is flowing into the markets rather than the real economy. This trend is
bolstered by current demographic conditions. Moreover, low inflation raises
market valuations (P/E ratios and real interest rates) while high consumer and
business optimism raises the willingness to take risk.

What are the risks to the market? Near-term, negative earnings surprises could
stall the equity market, and a weak dollar would not be good for bonds. Over the
intermediate term, if the economic slowdown does not materialize, inflation
concerns will rise and the Fed will tighten. This would hurt valuations in both
stocks and bonds.

Our view is to remain cautiously optimistic on both markets, but watch for the
developing evidence of a slowdown.

Please read the Fund Managers' Reviews, which follow this letter, for a detailed
perspective on each Fund's performance and our strategy going forward. We
appreciate your continued trust and confidence in IAI. If there is any way we
can serve you better, please let us know by calling our toll-free Investor
Services Hotline at 1-800-945-3863.

WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?

The IAI Bond Fund's objective is to provide a high level of current income
consistent with preservation of capital. This objective is pursued by investing
in a diversified portfolio of high quality bonds. The Fund invests primarily in
investment-grade bonds and other debt securities of similar high quality. The
Fund invests in a variety of maturities and sectors which are varied depending
on relative values in the marketplace at a given point in time.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

The Fund gained 4.59% for the six months ended May 31, 1998. This compares to a
return of 4.09% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

The focus of the Fund on sector and issue selection continued throughout the
first half of 1998. The interest sensitivity of the Fund was extended late in
the first half reflecting our favorable outlook for interest rates in the near
term.

CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE?

The strongest sector of the bond market in the first half was the treasury
market. Spread sectors such as corporates and mortgages underperformed. Despite
our emphasis on these spread sectors, the Fund return equaled that of the
overall market.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

Looking ahead, the near-term trends look favorable for bonds. US economic growth
should moderate this summer in response to slower production, reduced inventory
accumulation and rising imports. Soft commodity prices and Asian instability
will keep inflation expectations in check. Federal Reserve policy will remain on
hold. We have positioned the portfolio to benefit from these factors.

    However, we see risks for the market beyond the summer months. Consumer
spending will stay strong, fueled by rising personal income, higher stock
prices, ample job opportunities and a record high level of consumer sentiment.
Inflation isn't dead. Falling commodity prices are currently masking a rising
trend of service-based inflation in such areas as housing rental and medical
care. The Fed may need to take action later in the year. As evidence of these
events materialize, the Fund will be repositioned in a more defensive mode.

IAI GOVERNMENT FUND

[PHOTO]
LARRY R. HILL, CFA
IAI GOVERNMENT FUND MANAGER

WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?

The Fund seeks to provide shareholders with a high level of current income with
preservation of capital. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. Government
securities with dollar-weighted average maturity of seven years or less.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

The Fund gained 3.32% for the six months ended May 31, 1998, compared with a
return of 4.14% for its benchmark, the Salomon Brothers Intermediate
Treasury/Agency/Mortgage-Backed Index.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

The interest rate sensitivity of the Fund was maintained in line with the market
during the first half. The allocation to non-government, non-mortgage sectors
was increased as corporate spreads widened, providing better value.

CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE?

The biggest event during the first half was the inversion of the yield curve
between 2 years and 10 years. two year treasury yields ended the period at 5.49%
while ten year treasuries yielded 5.44%. The underweight position in treasuries
had a negative impact on performance.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

Near-term trends look favorable for bonds. US economic growth should moderate
this summer in response to slower production, reduced inventory accumulation and
rising imports. Soft commodity prices and Asian instability will keep inflation
expectations in check. Federal Reserve policy will remain on hold. We have
positioned the portfolio to benefit from these factors and from the wider
corporate bond spreads.
    However, we see risks for the market beyond the summer months. Consumer
spending will stay strong, fueled by rising personal income, higher stock
prices, ample job opportunities and a record high level of consumer sentiment.
Inflation isn't dead. Falling commodity prices are currently masking a rising
trend of service-based inflation in such areas as housing rental and medical
care. The Fed may need to take action later in the year. As evidence of these
events materialize, the Fund will be repositioned in a more defensive mode.

                       IAI BOND FUND, IAI GOVERNMENT FUND


                                  MAY 31, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)

[1] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The IAI Mutual Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as
amended) as diversified, open-end management investment companies, or series
thereof. IAI Bond Fund (Bond Fund) is a separate portfolio of IAI Investment
Funds I, Inc. IAI Government Fund (Government Fund) is a separate portfolio of
IAI Investment Funds VI, Inc. The Bond Fund's primary objective is to provide a
high level of current income consistent with capital preservation, through
investments in a diversified portfolio of primarily investment grade bonds and
other debt securities of similar high quality. The Government Fund seeks to
provide shareholders with a high level of current income with preservation of
capital by investing primarily in U.S. Government securities. This report covers
only Bond Fund and Government Fund (the Funds).

Significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are summarized below:

SECURITY VALUATION

Portfolio securities are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on
each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for which such information is
regularly reported are valued at the last sale price of the day or, in the
absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or the last sale price on
the prior trading day. Long-term and short-term "non-money market" debt
securities are valued by a portfolio pricing service. Securities which cannot be
valued by the portfolio pricing service are valued using dealer-supplied
valuations, or are valued under consistently applied procedures established by
the Board of Directors to determine fair value in good faith. Short-term "money
market type" debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at
acquisition are valued at cost adjusted for amortization to maturity of any
premium or discount. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued
based on the closing prices of the forward currency contract rates in the London
foreign exchange markets on a daily basis as provided by a reliable bank or
dealer.

SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS

Delivery and payment for securities which have been purchased by the Funds on a
forward commitment or when-issued basis may occur a month or more after the
transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market
fluctuations and the Funds maintain, in segregated accounts, assets with a
market value equal to the amount of their purchase commitments.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS CONTRACTS

In order to increase exposure to and hedge against changes in the market, the
Funds may buy and sell futures contracts and options. The risks of entering into
futures and option contracts include the possibility that changes in the value
of these contracts may not correlate with changes in the underlying security.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price of the exchange on which
they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to
deposit either cash or securities, representing the initial margin, equal to a
certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent changes in the value of the
contract, or variation margin, are recorded daily as unrealized gains or losses.
Variation margin is paid or received in cash daily by the Fund. The Fund
realizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. 

Options traded on an exchange are valued using the last sale price, and those
traded over-the-counter are valued using dealer-supplied valuations, resulting
in unrealized appreciation or depreciation being recorded. The Fund will realize
a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an
option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the
purchase cost for a written put option or the cost of a security for a purchased
put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS AND FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

Bond Fund and Government Fund may invest in foreign securities. The market value
of securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the closing rate of exchange. Purchases
and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate
on the transaction date and are recorded in realized and unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on foreign currency transactions.

Exchange gains and losses may also be realized between the trade and settlement
dates on security and foreign currency contract transactions. The Funds do not
isolate that portion of the result of operations resulting from changes in
foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes
in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net
realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for
operational purposes and to protect against adverse exchange rate fluctuations.
The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual
commitments held by the Funds and the resulting unrealized appreciation or
depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates from an
independent pricing service. The Funds are subject to the credit risk that the
other party will not complete the obligations of the contract.

FEDERAL TAXES

Since it is each Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all
taxable income to shareholders, no provision for income taxes is required. In
order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, the Funds are required
to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized
gains on a calendar year basis.

Net investment income and net realized gains may differ for financial statement
and tax purposes primarily because of recognition of certain foreign currency
gains and losses as ordinary income and the deferral of "wash sale" losses for
tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net
investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate
characterization for tax purposes.

For federal income tax purposes, the Bond Fund and Government Fund have capital
loss carryovers of approximately 2,102,000 and $2,266,000, respectively at
November 30, 1997, which, if not offset by subsequent capital gains, will expire
in 2002 and 2002 through 2005, respectively. It is unlikely the Board of
Directors will authorize a distribution of any net realized gains until the
available capital loss carryovers are offset or expire.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

The Funds record security transactions on trade date, the date the securities
are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income, including level yield amortization of discount for the Funds,
is accrued daily. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of
identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. Distributions
from net investment income are made monthly. Capital gains, if any, are
primarily distributed at the end of the calendar year. Additional capital gains
distributions as needed to comply with federal tax regulations are distributed
during the year.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

[2] COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

For purposes of obtaining certain types of insurance coverage for the Funds and
their officers and directors, the Funds are policyholders in an
industry-sponsored mutual insurance company (the Company). The Funds are
committed to make capital contributions, if requested by the Company.

Bond Fund and Government Fund have available lines of credit of $10,207,000 and
$2,683,000, respectively, with a bank at the prime interest rate. To the extent
funds are drawn against the line, securities are held in a segregated account.
No compensating balances or commitment fees are required under the lines of
credit. During the six months ended May 31, 1998, the Funds paid $2,009 and
$487, respectively, in interest on the line of credit at an average rate of
8.50%. There were no borrowings outstanding at May 31, 1998. 

[3] FEES AND EXPENSES

Under terms of each Fund's Management Agreement, Investment Advisers, Inc.
(Advisers) is required to pay for all expenses of each Fund, except certain
costs (primarily those incurred in the purchase and sale of assets, taxes,
interest and extraordinary expenses), in return for each Fund paying an all
inclusive management fee (unified fee) to Advisers. This fee is equal to an
annual rate of 1.10% declining to 1.00% of average daily net assets and is paid
monthly. The Management Agreements further provide that Advisers will reimburse
the Funds for the fees and expenses it pays to Directors who are not "interested
persons" of the Funds or reduce its fee by an equivalent amount.
