WHAT'S RIGHT WITH THIS MARKET ECONOMIC OUTLOOK 

[PHOTO]
ROY C. GILLSON
PRESIDENT

The stock market has been on a roller coaster of late, and that naturally makes
people uneasy. But if you're a long-term investor, then I would argue that there
are a lot more good things influencing the market than bad things.

True, U.S. corporate earnings are flattening out, and that's putting a damper on
the stock market. When you buy a stock, you're buying a future stream of
dividends as well as a stronger company because most of the profits are being
reinvested. After double-digit growth during much of the 1990s, profits in 1998
are growing in the low single digits. A major reason why profits are sluggish is
the economic and currency turmoil in Asia, which hurts U.S. companies doing
business there.

Another reason for sluggish profit growth is the great job that Corporate
America has done to become more efficient. After years of cost-cutting, there
isn't much cutting left to do. To enhance profits, companies must either boost
prices or sell more products and services. But with inflation at virtually zero,
it's tough to raise prices. So, profit growth must come through increased unit
volume.

And that's where the good news is likely to begin. Even with the dampening
effects of Asia, the U.S. economy is still basically healthy, making it possible
for U.S. corporations to sell more products and services here at home. True,
we're losing business in Asia, because the dollar is so strong compared to their
currencies. But what we're losing in Asia, we're gaining in Europe, as that
region of the world begins to enjoy U.S.-style prosperity. Europe will look even
stronger once the Euro, the Continent's single currency, begins to replace 11
currencies on January 1, 1999.

Asia has helped keep inflation worries away, and that has kept interest rates
low. Recently, the 30-year Treasury bond yield reached its lowest level ever, as
global investors buy our securities for the greatest safety and liquidity.
Partly because of our low inflation environment, worldwide demand for U.S.
stocks and bonds continues to be strong.

Even if 1998 turns out to be a mediocre year for stocks, let's not feel too
sorry for ourselves. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has more than doubled
since 1995 and virtually tripled since the beginning of this decade. Where was
the Dow in 1982? 800! Has your house gone up by a factor of ten in fifteen
years? Probably not. The point is that markets do not go up in a straight line,
and there is bound to be volatility. But if you're an investor for the long
term, then you should be able to step back and see the good in this market.

            IAI CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, IAI EMERGING GROWTH FUND,
                    IAI GROWTH FUND, IAI MIDCAP GROWTH FUND


ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

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

Growth in the U.S. economy is likely to slow in the months ahead, but it is hard
to become too negative on the outlook for the coming year. Although past
performance does not guarantee future success, there is little evidence of a
recession on the horizon. A modest slowdown is more likely, with real growth
dropping to about 2.5% for 1999. Inflation should continue to drift downward.

In general, the world has built excess capacity. Even in the United States,
which is one of the best performing economies, capacity utilization rates are
below peak levels and credit is readily available to make further productive
investments. Although labor markets are tight and employment costs are rising,
inflation is not a near-term threat.

To be sure, the economy is losing some of its forward momentum. The
manufacturing sector is clearly showing signs of weakness. This sector is
directly exposed to the global glut of commodity goods. With weakness overseas,
exports are slowing while imports are rising. Layoff announcements have
picked-up, and consumer confidence has dropped sharply in response to stock
market volatility. Disposable income is still growing, but at a slower pace.
Corporate profits are also being squeezed, which is likely to reduce capital
spending plans for next year. These indicators all point to slower growth ahead.

Yet, growing evidence of economic deterioration--if this occurs--will prompt
further rate reduction. Having taken the first step to ease in three years, the
Fed is now sensitive to overseas conditions and the fluid economic environment.
If the economy appears to be stumbling, the Fed has plenty of room to drop rates
and will do so with little hesitation. Likewise, renewed turmoil in the markets
will also prompt Fed action. Thus our outlook for no recession is driven by our
confidence that the Fed can and will act if necessary.

Fed diligence is also a key ingredient for the markets. Subdued inflation and
the prospect for further cuts in short rates--if need be--will provide good
support for bonds. Stock prices remain trapped in a tug-of-war between feeble
earnings and favorable liquidity. The stock market will be pulled up and down
until one force overcomes the other and sets the next trend.

Please read the Fund Managers' Reviews, which follow this letter, for a detailed
perspective on Fund 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

SINCERELY,

*PERCENTAGE OF NET ASSETS AS OF 9/30/98


HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

The IAI Capital Appreciation Fund declined (27.93%) during the six months ended
September 30, 1998, slightly trailing its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth
Index, which was down (26.00%). The S&P 500 Index was down (6.98%).

WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?

The biggest contributor to performance was Xomed Surgical Products (4.87%)*, the
leading manufacturer and distributor of surgical products for use by ear, nose ,
and throat (ENT) physicians. Xomed's stock has almost tripled since we first
purchased it in early 1997, as the company has executed its plan to introduce
and exploit a new line of minimally-invasive products. Among the many poor
performers was Forcenergy (0.86%)*, an independent exploration and production
company suffering from the collapse in oil and natural gas prices.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

As always, we keep the portfolio refreshed by trimming some holdings and adding
to others. Concerned about the economic outlook, we trimmed or exited positions
in Advanced Lighting Technologies (0.85%)*, Credit Acceptance (0.00%)*, Danka
Business Systems (0.19%)*, Microchip Technology (0.00%)*, Minerals Tech nologies
(0.58%)*, and Oakwood Homes (0.57%)*. We initiated a position in Apollo Group
(3.15%)*, a rapidly-growing, Phoenix-based provider of post-secondary education,
and we added to our position in Nielsen Media Research (2.25%)*, the near
monopolist in television ratings services in the United States and Canada.

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

As we had feared, the "Asian Flu" is proving to be the catalyst for weaker
corporate profits in many sectors. And the consensus among investors appears to
be that the United States will experience an economic recession in 1999. In
light of these factors, investors have moved as a herd out of small-cap stocks.
Given our focus on relatively small companies that are generally not well
understood, our category of stocks has attracted little interest.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

We know that, as some point, the environment will become more favorable for
small-cap growth stocks. However, we have long disavowed any ability to predict
the broader market's direction. Instead, we continue to execute our discipline,
owning well-positioned companies with sustainable competitive advantages in
stable, growing markets. Thus, we expect to deliver strong relative performance
regardless of the environment.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

In absolute terms, the IAI Emerging Growth Fund performed poorly in the third
quarter, losing (20.19%). However, in relative terms, the IAI Emerging Growth
Fund outperformed the Russell 2500 Growth Index which fell (22.21%). The sell
off was widespread as every sector within the index posted sharp declines. For
the past six months, the Fund also outperformed the index, returning (21.70%)
vs. (26.00%). The S&P 500 Index fell (6.98%) for the past six months.

WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?

QLogic Corporation (1.94%)*, a maker of integrated circuits and adapter cards
used in computer systems, was up sharply during the period and was the largest
positive contributor to performance. Saville Systems (0.94%)*, Concentra Managed
Care (0.00%)*, and Advanced Fibre Communications (0.59%)* were the biggest
disappointments.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

We took advantage of the downdraft in the marketplace to add several new
positions. These include Pacific Sunwear (0.91%)*, Medical Manager Corporation
(0.73%)*, Great Plains Software (1.87%)*, Advantage Learning Systems (0.56%)*,
International Telecommunications Data Systems (1.08%)*, and Uniphase Corporation
(0.82%)*. All of these companies possess outstanding growth prospects and
attractive valuations.

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

An overwhelming number of negative events (foreign economic turbulence, hedge
fund bailout, softer corporate earnings) led to an "aversion to risk" mentality,
which set off a wave of selling in the equity markets, especially in the higher
risk sector of small cap stocks.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

As the domestic economy slows and foreign economic problems persist, we may
start to see earnings disappointments from the large multinational corporations.
There are several attractive niches in the small cap market exhibiting strong
growth and selling at prices that already reflect the negative market sentiment.
In fact, relative valuations for small cap stocks have compressed to
multi-decade lows. If the large cap stocks start to disappoint, we believe
investors may turn their attention to the high growth small cap stocks that are
held in the Fund.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

In the worst quarter for domestic stocks since 1990, the IAI Growth Fund lost
(13.74%). The average diversified domestic stock mutual fund declined (15.0%)
and the S&P 500 Index fell (9.95%). Over the past six months, the Fund declined
(12.24%) while the S&P lost (6.98%).

WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?

Lexmark International (2.08%)* was a strong positive contributor to performance.
Lexmark continues to deliver better than expected earnings results as the
company's printers gain market share. Cendant Corporation (2.99%)*, which
continues to be plagued by problems related to the former businesses of CUC
International (0.00%)*, and United Healthcare (1.23%)*, which announced
disappointing earnings, were the major disappointments.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

Given the volatility in the market, transaction activity was higher than normal
as we took advantage of several buying opportunities. We initiated positions in
two pharmaceutical companies, American Home Products (2.05%)* and Warner-Lambert
(0.84%)*, due to positive business fundamentals. Compaq Computer (1.00%)* was
among the stocks we added in the technology area and we expect Compaq's earnings
growth to accelerate.

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

Global economic upheaval led investors to shun risk in markets around the world.
The U.S. stock market was not immune to this as U.S. treasury securities were
deemed the only safe haven. Within the domestic stock market, large cap stocks
once again outperformed small caps.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

The U.S. economy seems to be slowing somewhat due to economic problems overseas.
Stock market volatility should continue until these global economic
uncertainties are resolved. Given this, the market may place a premium on
companies with strong, consistent growth.

HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?

Amid continuing global financial turmoil, the IAI Midcap Growth Fund lost
(12.73%) in the third quarter and (10.91%) over the past six months. Although
bear markets are no cause for celebration, we are pleased that we outperformed
our primary benchmark, the S&P Midcap Index, which fell (15.17%) and (16.30%)
over the same time period. The S&P 500 Index fell (6.98%) for the past six
months.

WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?

Lexmark International (1.24%)*, a maker of computer printers and supplies,
reported very strong earnings and was the largest contributor to the fund's
performance. American Power Conversion (2.65%)*, which dominates the market for
uninterruptible power systems, was also up sharply. Platinum Technology
(2.12%)*, Interim Services (1.70%)*, and Land's End (0.96%)* were the biggest
disappointments.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

We initiated positions in several new stocks. In the consumer cyclical area we
added Bed Bath & Beyond (1.63%)*, Concord EFS (0.00%)*, and Kohl's Corporation
(0.43%)*. In the consumer staples sector we bought Dean's Foods (0.95%)* and
Whitman Corporation (0.74%)*. We added Paychex (0.58%)*and Xilinx (0.48%)* in
the technology sector.

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

The recent market sell-off did not change the market leadership in the United
States. The largest companies in America continued to outperform midcap stocks.
Large-cap stocks lost 10% during the third quarter, as measured by the S&P 500,
while midcap stocks fell 14.5% as measured by the S&P Midcap Index.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

The average midcap stock has undergone a significant decline in valuation. It is
clear that many of our stocks are being priced with quite low expectations for
the future. We believe there are bright prospects ahead for the companies in the
Fund and positive fundamental news should result in good stock performance.

Market value of securities is determined as described in Note 1 to the financial

purchase price was agreed to or the date the Fund first obtained an enforceable
right to obtain the securities. Information concerning each restricted security
held at September 30, 1998, is shown on pages 23-25.

                                       (d)

                                   (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 Capital Appreciation Fund (Capital Appreciation Fund), IAI Emerging
Growth Fund (Emerging Growth Fund) and IAI Midcap Growth Fund (Midcap Growth
Fund) are separate portfolios of IAI Investment Funds VI, Inc. and IAI Growth
Fund (Growth Fund) is a separate portfolio of IAI Investment Funds II, Inc. The
Funds have an overall objective of long-term appreciation through investment in
equity securities.

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.

Restricted securities for which there is no public market are valued at fair
value in good faith under procedures established by the Board of Directors. Such
procedures consider various factors including, but not limited to, the cost of
the security at date of purchase, the current financial statements of the issuer
and special reports prepared by analysts, the size of the position held, recent
purchases or sales of securities of the company, prices and public trading
activity of comparable companies, the nature and duration of restrictions on
disposition, pending public offerings with respect to the security, changes in
economic conditions and industry developments affecting the issuer, and other
relevant matters. Restricted securities represent $11,608,695 (16.3% of net
assets) for Emerging Growth Fund and $1,325,557 (3.4% of net assets) for Midcap
Growth Fund. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated
values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a
ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

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
future 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, a 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.
The 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
purchased 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.

            IAI CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, IAI EMERGING GROWTH FUND,
                    IAI GROWTH FUND, IAI MIDCAP GROWTH FUND


                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)

[1] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

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
of its taxable income to its shareholders, no provision for income taxes is
required. In order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, each Fund
is required to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized gains on a calendar year basis.

Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and
tax purposes primarily because of recognition of limited partnership 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 also differ from its ultimate characterization for tax purposes.

The Emerging Growth Fund elected to utilize equalization debits by which a
portion of the costs of redemptions, which occurred during the year ended March
31, 1998, reduced accumulated net realized gains for tax purposes. As a result
of this, a reclassification has been made on the statement of assets and
liabilities to decrease accumulated net realized gains on investments by
$28,999,125 and increase additional paid-in-capital by $28,999,125.

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 is accrued daily. The Funds amortize discount purchased on
long-term bonds using the level yield method of amortization. Security gains and
losses are determined on the basis of identified cost, which is the same basis
used for federal income tax purposes. The Funds use the equity method of
accounting for limited partnerships.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

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

For federal income tax purposes, it is unlikely the Board of Directors will
authorize a distribution of any net realized gains until the available capital
loss carryover is offset or expires.

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.


                                                                              37

[2] COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

LINE OF CREDIT

At September 30, 1998, Capital Appreciation Fund, Emerging Growth Fund, Growth
Fund, and Midcap Growth Fund had available lines of credit of $8,521,000,
$15,000,000, $2,141,000 and $13,332,000, 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 line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding at
September 30, 1998.

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP COMMITMENTS

At September 30, 1998, the Funds are committed to invest additional amounts in
certain limited partnership investments held, as follows:

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INVESTMENT COMMITMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                      EMERGING GROWTH FUND   MIDCAP GROWTH FUND
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alta Berkeley III L.P.                      $10,000               $    --
Spectrum Equity Investors L.P.               46,000                23,000
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total commitments                           $56,000               $23,000
===============================================================================

Default by a limited partner of payment of a properly requested capital
contribution, other than default due to a legal determination that such
contribution need not be made, would result in forfeiture of such limited
partner's interest in any future profits and loss in the partnership and removal
from the limited partnership.

The Funds' management intends to finance the aforementioned commitments with
available cash or with proceeds from the sale of investments in short-term
securities. Each Fund maintains in a segregated account an amount equal to its
aggregate unpaid commitments.

[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. The fee is equal to an
annual rate of 1.25% (1.40% for Capital Appreciation Fund) declining to 1.10%
(1.30% for Capital Appreciation Fund and 1.00% for Growth Fund) of average daily
net assets. This fee 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.
