MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS  MAY 14, 1999


DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

On behalf of the entire board of directors and management of First American
Asset Management -- we are pleased to welcome all new fund shareholders and to
thank our long-term shareholders for your continued support.

      The economic environment has changed dramatically since September 30, the
date of our last shareholder update. At that time, worried investors drove the
Dow Jones Industrial Average down 20 percent, fueled by fears of an economic
crisis overseas. Some economists even predicted that problems in Asia could
ultimately send the U.S. economy into a recession.

      Since then, the Dow has staged a non-stop rally, rising more than 2,000
points to surpass the 10,000 barrier. Many Asian nations have partially
recovered from their financial crises, while the U.S. economy continues to
expand at an unprecedented rate. Thanks to low unemployment, low inflation,
stable interest rates and strong consumer spending, it is business as usual for
our robust economy.

      With the continuing strong economy, the bond market has weakened as
investors become more concerned about possible acceleration of inflation and
rising demand for capital. The new higher yields of fixed-income securities
represent much more attractive long-term values than those of a few months ago.
The bond market is likely to stay weak until the economy shows some signs of
slowing.

      Municipal bonds, in particular, offer compelling buying opportunities.
Yields on municipals as a percentage of Treasuries remain above historic norms,
offering attractive after-tax yields.

      In these increasingly volatile markets, a well-balanced portfolio may
cushion you against unfavorable developments affecting any particular investment
style or asset class. We believe that successful long-term investing results
from asset allocation among equity, bond and money market funds. An asset
allocation plan can help smooth out market returns to produce more balanced
returns year after year.

      As an investor in First American Funds, you can choose from 38 funds
spanning nine asset classes: money market, tax-free bond, bond, funds of funds,
and large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, international and sector equity funds. First
American offers a wide range of funds to help you create a personalized,
diversified portfolio.

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS  CONTINUED

      In closing, we are pleased to announce that the First American family of
funds recently surpassed $30 billion in total assets -- a significant milestone
which illustrates the broad appeal of our team approach to management and our
commitment to disciplined investment processes.

      Again, thank you for your confidence in our fund family. We look forward
to continuing to serve your investment needs.


Sincerely,



/s/ Virginia L. Stringer

NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    MARCH 31, 1999 (UNAUDITED)

1     ORGANIZATION

The First American California Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate
Tax Free Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund,
Minnesota Tax Free Fund, Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund, and Tax Free Fund
(collectively, the "Funds") are mutual funds offered by First American
Investment Funds, Inc. ("FAIF"). The First American Limited Term Income Fund,
Intermediate Term Income Fund, Intermediate Government Bond Fund, Fixed Income
Fund, Adjustable Rate Mortgage Securities Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Balanced
Fund, Real Estate Securities Fund, Equity Income Fund, Equity Index Fund, Large
Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Regional Equity Fund,
Small Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, International
Index Fund, International Fund, Health Sciences Fund, Technology Fund, Emerging
Markets Fund, and Mid Cap Growth Fund are also funds offered by FAIF but are not
included in this report. FAIF is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end investment management company. FAIF's articles
of incorporation permit the board of directors to create additional funds in the
future.

These FAIF Funds offer class-A and class-Y shares. Minnesota Tax Free Fund and
Tax Free Fund also offer class-C shares. Class-A shares are sold with a
front-end sales charge. Class-Y shares have no sales charge and are offered only
to qualifying institutional investors. Class-C shares are sold with a front-end
sales charge and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for eighteen
months.

The Funds' prospectuses provide a description of each Fund's investment
objectives, policies and strategies. All classes of shares have identical
voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and
conditions, except that the level of distribution fees charged may differ among
classes and each class has exclusive voting rights on any matters relating to
that class' servicing or distribution arrangements.

2     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are as follows:

SECURITY VALUATION - Security valuations for FAIF Fund investments are furnished
by one or more independent pricing services that have been approved by the Board
of Directors. Debt obligations exceeding sixty days to maturity are valued by an
independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that
utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other
electronic data processing techniques. These techniques generally consider such
factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue,
coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. When market quotations
are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in
good faith by procedures established and approved by the Board of Directors.
Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued
at their amortized cost. Investments in closed-end mutual funds which are traded
on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market
system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such
securities on each business day.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME - The Funds record security
transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Interest
income, including


                          42        '99 SEMIANNUAL REPORT   FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS
<PAGE>


amortization of bond premium and discount is recorded on the accrual basis.
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 - The Funds declare and pay income dividends
monthly. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for a Fund are
distributed to shareholders at least annually.

FEDERAL TAXES - It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company and to distribute all of its taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. For Federal
income tax purposes, required distributions related to realized gains from
security transactions are computed as of October 31st.

The amounts of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital
gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which
may differ from those amounts determined under generally accepted accounting
principles. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in
nature and are primarily due to wash sales. The character of distributions made
during the year from net investment income or net realized gains, and the timing
of distributions where the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may
differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by
the Fund. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to
the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the difference arises.

SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS - Delivery and payment for
securities that have been purchased by a Fund on a forward commitment or
when-issued basis can take place up to a month or more after the transaction
date. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations and
the portfolio maintains, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets with
a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments.
The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis may
increase the volatility of a Fund's net asset value if the Fund makes such
investments while remaining substantially fully invested. At March 31, 1999, the
California Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota
Intermediate Tax Free Fund, and Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund had
outstanding when-issued commitments of $1,630,979, $4,245,120, $4,338,820, and
$247,341 respectively.

EXPENSES - Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged
directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses are allocated to the Funds on
the basis of relative net assets. Class specific expenses, such as the 12b-1
fees, are borne by that class. Income, other expenses and realized and
unrealized gains and losses of a Fund are allocated to the respective class on
the basis of the relative net assets each day.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The preparation of
financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amount of net assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT INFORMATION - The financial information presented
for Minnesota Tax Free Fund and Tax Free Fund prior to July 31, 1998, is that of

former Piper Minnesota Tax-Exempt Fund and the former Piper National Tax-Exempt
Fund respectively. The historical financial information of the former Piper
Funds was carried over to the newly formed FAIF Funds.

3     FEES AND EXPENSES

ADVISORY FEES - Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the Agreement),
U.S. Bank National Association (the Advisor) manages each Fund's assets and
furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The
Agreement requires each Fund to pay the Advisor a monthly fee based upon average
daily net assets. The fee for each of the FAIF Funds is equal to an annual rate
of .70% of the average daily net assets.

The Funds may invest in First American Funds, Inc. (FAF), subject to certain
limitations. The terms of such transactions are identical to those of
non-related entities except that, to avoid duplicative investment advisory fees,
the Advisor reimburses each FAIF Fund an amount equal to the investment advisory
fee earned by FAF related to such investments.

ADMINISTRATION FEES - SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC) provides
administrative services, including certain accounting, legal and shareholder
services, at an annual rate of .12% of each FAIF fund's average daily net
assets, with a minimum annual fee of $50,000 for the Minnesota Tax Free Fund and
Tax Free Fund. To the extent that the aggregate net assets of the First American
Family of Funds exceed $8 billion, the annual rate of each FAIF Fund is reduced
to .105% for their relative share of the excess net assets.

SUBADMINISTRATION FEES - U.S. Bank National Association assists the
