TRUSTEES' REPORT

To Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust Participants:

The Iowa  Public  Agency  Investment  Trust  (IPAIT) is pleased to present  this
semi-annual  report of Trust  operations for the period ended December 31, 1999.
During 1999,  market rates for  short-term  securities  increased as the Federal
Reserve Board increased  overnight rates on three separate occasions for a total
of 0.75 percent.  IPAIT's rates increased during the period by a similar amount.
IPAIT  maintained a  consistent  focus upon its three  complementary  investment
objectives;  protection of invested participant funds, maintaining the necessary
degree of liquidity to accommodate  participant needs and providing participants
with an excellent market rate of return.

Participation  in  IPAIT's  investment  programs  continues  to grow  and  serve
additional  participants.  As of December 31,  1999,  a total of 168 cities,  86
counties,  73 municipal  utilities and 37 28E  organizations, were authorized to
invest in IPAIT. During the semi-annual period, total assets invested within the
liquid funds ranged from a low of $242,104,825 to a high of  $331,481,323.  When
fixed term securities are included,  the respective  figures range from a low of
$405,175,159 to a high of $488,704,626. Average total funds invested in 1999 for
all investment  alternatives  exceeded average total funds for much of the year,
reaching an all-time high of $514,462,963 on April 9, 1999.

IPAIT also introduced  participants to www.ipait.org during the period,  IPAIT's
proprietary  website that  enables  participants  to access  every  component of
program performance,  including electronic transaction investment and withdrawal
requests.

The Board of  Trustees  is very  pleased  with the  success  of the  IPAIT  cash
management  program and would welcome any comments or suggestions that you might
have.  Our goal is to provide a cash  management  program  that is  increasingly
responsive to member needs.


Respectfully,



Robert Hagey, Chair
Board of Trustees

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

During  the  first  half of  fiscal  year  1999-00,  short-term  interest  rates
increased.  The Federal Reserve  increased the Federal Funds rate three times to
stabilize  financial markets and temper domestic economic growth. The Fed became
increasingly concerned that a vibrant domestic economy might expand too rapidly,
introducing the possibility of inflationary excess.


The  domestic  economic  growth  continues  to be strong,  led by  consumer  and
construction spending. The global economic environment has largely stabilized, a
dramatic  turn-around from one year ago. This combination of factors will likely
cause the  Federal  Reserve to  increase  interest  rates over the next  several
months if they change rates at all.

The rate on the IPAIT  Diversified  Fund  increased  from 4.39  percent  to 5.13
percent during the period. The Fund consistently  provided a rate more than 0.20
percent above the IBC Index of national money market funds.

The average  maturity of the Fund ended the period at 44 days,  taking advantage
of increasing  rates in both marketable  securities and  Certificates of Deposit
offered by Iowa financial institutions when advantageous.

The IPAIT program continues to emphasize three elements:  safety, liquidity, and
competitive  rates, in that order. We look forward to continuing to service your
cash management needs.

Sincerely,



Kathryn D. Beyer, CFA
Managing Director
Investors Management Group

IOWA PUBLIC AGENCY INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     ORGANIZATION

Iowa Public Agency  Investment  Trust (IPAIT) is a common law trust  established
under Iowa law  pursuant to Chapter 28E and  Sections  331.555 and 384.21,  Iowa
Code (1987), as amended, which authorizes Iowa public agencies to jointly invest
moneys pursuant to a joint investment  agreement.  IPAIT is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. IPAIT was established by the adoption of a Joint
Powers  Agreement and  Declaration of Trust as of October 1, 1987, and commenced
operations on November 13, 1987. The Joint Powers  Agreement and  Declaration of
Trust was amended September 1, 1988, and again on May 1, 1993. As amended, IPAIT
is authorized  to operate and now operates  investment  programs,  including the
Diversified   Portfolio  and  Direct  Government  Obligation   Portfolios.   The
accompanying  financial  statements  include  activities of the  Diversified and
Direct Government Obligation  Portfolios.  The objective of the portfolios is to
maintain a high degree of liquidity and safety of principal  through  investment
in short-term  securities as permitted for Iowa public  agencies under Iowa law.
Norwest  Bank  Iowa,  N.A.,  serves as the  Custodian  and Bank  Trust  Services
Provider,  and  Investors  Management  Group serves as the  Investment  Advisor,
Administrator and Program Support Provider.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of net investment income during the period.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

In  reporting   financial  activity,   IPAIT  applies  applicable   Governmental
Accounting  Standards  Board  (GASB)  pronouncements,  as well as all  Financial
Accounting Standards Board and predecessor statements and interpretations not in
conflict with GASB pronouncements.

IPAIT  is  exposed  to  various  risks  in  connection  with  operation  of  the
Diversified  Portfolio and adheres to policies which mitigate market risk in the
portfolio and maintains insurance coverage for fidelity and errors and omissions
exposures.  IPAIT has had no claims or settlements under its insurance  coverage
since its organization in 1987.

INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES

The Diversified and Direct Government  Obligation Portfolios consist of cash and
short-term  investments valued at amortized cost pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment  Company Act of 1940. This involves  valuing a portfolio  security at
its original cost on the date of purchase, and thereafter amortizing any premium
or  discount  on a  straight-line  basis to  maturity.  The amount of premium or
discount  amortized  to income  under the  straight-line  method does not differ
materially from the amount which would be amortized to income under the interest
method.  Procedures are followed to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00
per unit for the portfolio.

Security  transactions  are  accounted for on the trade date.  Interest  income,
including the accretion of discount and amortization of premium,  is recorded on
the accrual basis.

IPAIT is authorized  by investment  policy and statute to invest public funds in
obligations  of  the  U.S.  government,   its  agencies  and  instrumentalities;
certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at federally insured Iowa
depository  institutions approved and secured pursuant to Chapter 12 of the Code
of Iowa; and  repurchase  agreements,  provided that the  underlying  collateral
consists   of   obligations   of  the  U.S.   government,   its   agencies   and
instrumentalities  and that IPAIT's  custodian  takes delivery of the collateral
either directly or through an authorized custodian.
<PAGE>

IOWA PUBLIC AGENCY INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

In connection with transactions in repurchase  agreements,  it is IPAIT's policy
that its Custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities,  the
value of which  exceeds  the  principal  amount of the  repurchase  transaction,
including accrued interest at all times. If the seller defaults and the value of
the collateral  declines,  realization of the collateral by IPAIT may be delayed
or limited.  At December 31, 1999,  the  securities  purchased  under  overnight
agreements to resell were  collateralized  by government and  government  agency
securities with market values of $36,498,413 and $53,321,469 for the Diversified
and Direct Government Obligation Portfolios, repsectively.

Certificates  of  deposit  amounts  in excess of the  $100,000  federal  deposit
insurance  are  collateralized  with  securities  or letters  of credit  held by
IPAIT's custodian in IPAIT's name, or by the Iowa multiple financial institution
collateral  pool in  accordance  with  Chapter  12C of the Code of  Iowa,  which
provides for additional assessments against depositories to ensure there will be
no loss of public funds.

Under  Governmental  Accounting  Standards as to custodial credit risk,  IPAIT's
investments in securities are classified as category one.  Category one consists
of insured or registered  securities or securities held by IPAIT or its agent in
IPAIT's name and is the most secure investment category description.

UNIT ISSUES, REDEMPTIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

IPAIT determines the net asset value of each portfolio  daily.  Units are issued
and redeemed  daily at the daily net asset value.  Dividends from net investment
income for each portfolio are declared daily and distributed monthly.

INCOME TAXES

IPAIT is exempt from federal and state income tax.

FEES AND EXPENSES

Under separate  agreements with IPAIT,  Investors  Management  Group (IMG),  the
Investment  Advisor,  Administrator  and Program Support  Provider,  and Norwest

receives  .100  percent of the average  daily net asset value up to $250 million

Obligation  Portfolios  paid  $316,488 and  $124,776,  respectively,  to IMG for
services provided. For each of the portfolios,  Norwest receives .050 percent of
the average daily net asset value up to $150 million,  .045 percent from $150 to
$300 million,  and .040 percent  exceeding $300 million for custodial  services.
Norwest also receives .075 percent of the average daily net asset value for bank
trust  services.  For  the  six  month  period  ended  December  31,  1999,  the
Diversified  and Direct  Government  Obligation  Portfolios  paid  $122,709  and
$47,264,  repsectively,  to Norwest for services provided.  Under a distribution
plan the public agency associations  collectively  receive an annual fee of .100
percent of the daily net asset value of the portfolios. For the six month period
ended  December 31,  1999,  the  Diversified  and Direct  Government  Obligation
Portfolios paid $52,553 and $34,678, respectively, to the Iowa League of Cities,
and $13,387 and  $3,133,  respectively,  to the Iowa  Association  of  Municipal
Utilities.  For the six month period ended  December 31, 1999,  the  Diversified
Portfolio  paid  $33,167  to  Iowa  State  Association  of  Counties.  IPAIT  is
responsible  for operating  expenses  incurred  directly by IPAIT.  All fees are
computed daily and paid monthly.
