             SUPPLEMENT DATED FEBRUARY 12, 1996
        TO THE JOINT PROSPECTUS DATED JUNE 1, 1995 OF
  IAI RESERVE FUND (a portfolio of IAI Investment Funds V,
                            Inc.)
     IAI MONEY MARKET FUND (a separate portfolio of IAI
                 Investment Funds VI, Inc.)
                              
                              
      The following supplements the disclosure contained  in
the  section "Investment Objectives and Policies  -  Reserve
Fund".

      Reserve Fund may also invest in below investment grade
securities.   Such securities are commonly  referred  to  as
junk  bonds.  Reserve Fund currently intends to  limit  such
investments to less than 10% of its total assets and not  to
invest in junk bonds rated lower than B by Moody's or S&P.

       Securities  rated  in  the  medium  to  lower  rating
categories  of  nationally  recognized  statistical   rating
organizations  and unrated securities of comparable  quality
are  predominately speculative with respect to the  capacity
to  pay interest and repay principal in accordance with  the
terms  of  the  security  and generally  involve  a  greater
volatility  of  price  than  securities  in  higher   rating
categories.  See "Investment Objectives and Policies" in and
Appendix  A  to the Statement of Additional Information  for
additional information regarding ratings of debt securities.
In  purchasing such securities, Reserve Fund  will  rely  on
IAI's  judgment, analysis and experience in  evaluating  the
creditworthiness of an issuer of such securities.  IAI  will
take  into  consideration, among other things, the  issuer's
financial  resources, its sensitivity to economic conditions
and  trends,  its  operating history,  the  quality  of  the
issuer's management and regulatory matters.

      The following replaces the disclosure under "Risks  of
Lower-Rated Debt Securities".

      Reserve  Fund  may invest in debt securities  commonly
known  as  "junk"  bonds.  Such securities  are  subject  to
higher risks and greater market fluctuations than are lower-
yielding, higher-rating securities.  The price of junk bonds
has been found to be less sensitive to changes in prevailing
interest rates than higher-rated investments, but is  likely
to   be  more  sensitive  to  adverse  economic  changes  or
individual  corporate  developments.   During  an   economic
downturn  or  substantial period of rising  interest  rates,
highly  leveraged  issuers may experience  financial  stress
which  would adversely affect their ability to service their
principal  and interest payment obligations, to  meet  their
projected  business goals or to obtain additional financing.
If  the  issuers of a fixed-income security owned by Reserve
Fund  were  to default, Reserve Fund might incur  additional
expenses to seek recovery.  The risk of loss due to  default
by  issuers of junk bonds is significantly greater than that
associated   with  higher-rated  securities   because   such
securities  generally  are  unsecured  and  frequently   are
subordinated  to  the prior payment of senior  indebtedness.
In  addition, periods of economic uncertainty and change can
be  expected to result in an increased volatility of  market
prices of junk bonds and a concomitant volatility in the net
asset value of a share of Reserve Fund.

     The secondary market for junk bonds is less liquid than
the  markets for higher quality securities and, as such, may
have  an  adverse  effect on the market  prices  of  certain
securities.   The limited liquidity of the market  may  also
adversely affect the ability of Reserve Fund to arrive at  a
fair value for certain junk bonds at certain times and could
make   it   difficult  for  Reserve  Fund  to  sell  certain
securities.   For a description of Moody's and  S&P  ratings
see Appendix A to the Statement of Additional Information.
