      On March 21, 1996, the shareholders of the above-referenced
Funds (except Capital Appreciation Fund) approved IAI's proposal,
effective  April  1,  1996,  to eliminate  each  Fund's  Plan  of
Distribution  and corresponding underwriting agreement  with  IAI
Securities,  Inc.  and  to  replace each  Fund's  management  and
administrative agreements with a new contract between  each  Fund
and  IAI.  Under this new contract, IAI will provide, or  arrange
for the provision of, all services required by a Fund in exchange
for one all-inclusive fee.  The new contracts are not intended to
result  in  a  fee  change.  Because of  these  changes,  certain
portions of this Prospectus have been updated as set forth below.

</TABLE>

      The  purpose  of  the  above table  is  to  assist  you  in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor  in
a  Fund  will  bear directly or indirectly.  Capital Appreciation
Fund  commenced  operations on February 1, 1996.   The  fees  set
forth  in the table reflect estimated fees and expenses  of  such
Fund  for  its initial fiscal period ending March 31, 1996.   For
the remaining Funds, effective April 1, 1996, the information  in
the  table  has  been  restated to reflect each  Fund's  fees  as
amended. The example should not be considered a representation of
past  or future expenses.  Actual expenses may be greater or less
than those shown.

      With  respect  to  Capital Appreciation  Fund,  the  Fund's
investment adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive the Management
Fee  in  excess of 1.25% of the Fund's average daily  net  assets
until  March  31, 1997.  Absent such voluntary waiver,  the  Fund
would pay 1.40% of its average daily net assets as the Management
Fee.

     Further information concerning fees paid by each Fund is set
forth  in the section "Management" below and in the Statement  of
Additional Information.

MANAGEMENT

     The    following   replaces   the   discussion    of    Fund
     administrative and advisory fees, as well as Fund costs,  in
     the  sub-section "All Funds Other than Capital  Appreciation
     Fund".

      Effective  April  1, 1996, each Fund  has  entered  into  a
written  agreement  with IAI (the "Management Agreement"),  under
which  IAI  provides each Fund with investment advisory  services
and  is  responsible for the overall management  of  each  Fund's
business  affairs  subject  to the  authority  of  the  Board  of
Directors.   The Management Agreement also provides that,  except
for  brokerage  commissions and other expenditures in  connection
with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, interest and,
in  certain circumstances, taxes and extraordinary expenses,  IAI
shall  pay  all of a Fund's operating expenses.  As  compensation
under  the Management Agreement, each Fund will pay IAI 1.25%  of
its  average daily net assets, which fee declines to 1.10% (1.00%
for  Growth  and  Growth and Income Funds) of average  daily  net
assets  as the amount of assets in each Fund grows.  Because  IAI
is  paying  Fund  operating expenses, these fees  represent  each
Fund's  total expenses.  With respect to certain of the  services
for  which it is responsible under the Management Agreement,  IAI
may  also  pay  qualifying broker-dealers, financial institutions
and   other  entities  for  providing  such  services   to   Fund
shareholders.

      Under the replaced Advisory Agreements, for the fiscal year
ended  March  31,  1996, each Fund paid IAI advisory  fees  as  a
percentage  of  such  Fund's  average  month-end  net  assets  as
follows:  Emerging Growth Fund:  .72%; Growth Fund:  .74%; Growth
and Income Fund:  .75%; Midcap Growth Fund:  .75%; Regional Fund:
 .71%;  and  Value Fund:  .75%.  Under the replaced Administrative
Agreements, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996,  each  Fund
paid IAI .20% of such Fund's average month-end net assets.

      The  following replaces the discussion of Growth and Income
Fund's portfolio manager.

      Donald  Hoelting has responsibility for the  management  of
Growth and Income Fund.  Mr. Hoelting is a Vice President of  IAI
and  has served as an equity portfolio manager since joining  IAI
in  April  1996.   Prior to joining IAI, Mr. Hoelting  was  Chief
Investment  Officer and Portfolio Manager for Jefferson  National
Bank and Trust from 1989 to 1996.

      On March 21, 1996, the shareholders of the above-referenced
Funds  (except  IAI  Capital Appreciation  Fund)  approved  IAI's
proposal, effective April 1, 1996, to eliminate each Fund's  Plan
of Distribution and corresponding underwriting agreement with IAI
Securities,  Inc.  and  to  replace each  Fund's  management  and
administrative agreements with a new contract between  each  Fund
and  IAI.  Under this new contract, IAI will provide, or  arrange
for the provision of, all services required by a Fund in exchange
for one all-inclusive fee.  The new contracts are not intended to
result in a fee change. Because of these and other changes,  this
Statement of Additional Information has been updated as set forth
below.


Management Agreement- All Funds Other Than Capital Appreciation
Fund

      Effective April 1, 1996, each Fund entered into new written
agreement with IAI (the "Management Agreement").  Pursuant to the
Management Agreement between each Fund and IAI, IAI has agreed to
provide  each  Fund  with  investment  advice,  statistical   and
research   facilities,  and  certain  equipment   and   services,
including, but not limited to, office space and necessary  office
facilities,  equipment, and the services  of  required  personnel
and,  in  connection  therewith, IAI has the sole  authority  and
responsibility  to make and execute investment  decisions  for  a
Fund  within  the  framework of such Fund's investment  policies,
subject  to  review by the directors of the Funds.  In  addition,
IAI  has  agreed to provide or arrange for the provision  of  all
required  administrative,  stock transfer,  redemption,  dividend
disbursing,  accounting,  and  shareholder  services   including,
without  limitation,  the following:  (1) the  maintenance  of  a
Fund's  accounts, books and records; (2) the calculations of  the
daily  net  asset  value  in accordance  with  a  Fund's  current
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information; (3) daily and
periodic  reports; (4) all information necessary to complete  tax
returns,  questionnaires and other reports requested by  a  Fund;
(5) the maintenance of stock registry records; (6) the processing
of  requested  account  registration changes,  stock  certificate
issuances and redemption requests; and (7) the administration  of
payments and dividends and distributions declared by a Fund;  (8)
answering shareholder questions, (9) providing reports and  other
information   and  (10)  other  services  designed  to   maintain
shareholder  accounts.   IAI  may  also  pay  qualifying  broker-
dealers,  financial institutions and other entities that  provide
such services.  In return for such services, each Fund has agreed
to  pay  IAI an annual fee as a percentage of such Fund's average
daily net assets as set forth below:
