Noel. P. Rahn,
  Chairman

The good news for retirement is we are living longer. The bad news is it will
cost more. Both of these developments make it increasingly important for you to
develop and implement a well considered investment plan.

According to statistics published by the American Association of Retired Persons
(AARP), retired people are living longer now than ever before. The Association
recently reported that people reaching age 65 could expect to live an additional
17.3 years, on average, (19 years more for women and 15.3 years for men).
Obviously, funding retirement for those additional years can be a formidable
challenge.

However, an even bigger challenge to a comfortable retirement could be the
insidious depletion of your purchasing power due to inflation. Even though
conventional wisdom tells us that a relatively low rate of inflation is
tolerable, when it comes to retirement, no inflation is good inflation.

For example, if you anticipated needing $25,000 a year to cover living expenses
for 18 years after retirement, and inflation was running at a constant 3.5%, the
value of your annual pension would ultimately be cut almost in half, to only
$13,165 a year of purchasing power in today's terms. Even a small increase in
inflation, following several recent years of unusually low rates, could be
devastating. If the inflation rate rose to 5%, the value of your $25,000 annual
pension would be cut to only $9,930 per year in real purchasing power, less than
40% of the amount needed.

We have been taught that saving for retirement is important, and it is. However,
savings alone may not be enough since significant purchasing power can be lost
to inflation. A better approach might be saving for investment, and investing
for retirement. Over the last 10 years, savings rates as represented by money
market mutual funds (Donoghue and Lipper indices) have yielded an annualized
return of 5.7%. However, inflation, running at an annualized rate of 3.6%, as
measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), has reduced the purchasing power of
the money market return by more than half.

Over the same period, an investment in bonds, as measured by the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index, has outpaced inflation more than two-and-a-half times,
earning an annualized 10.1%, and an investment in stocks, as measured by the S&P
500 Index, has appreciated an annualized 14.5%, more than four times the rate of
inflation.

Of course future performance may be different from past performance, but history
shows that investing in financial assets such as stocks and bonds, can be an
important part of a well balanced plan for funding and enjoying the additional
years of retirement.

                           IAI Retirement Funds, Inc.

Economic Outlook

Larry Hill, IAI's Chief Investment Officer, provides his economic outlook below,
as published recently in the Adviser.

Outlook

The myth of an economic soft landing is an attractive idea-growth strong enough
to create new jobs and keep the economy moving forward, and yet slow enough to
prevent inflationary pressures from building. Unfortunately, business cycles
have not been eliminated, and even when a soft landing seems imminent, it is
usually just a temporary phase before moving in one of two different directions.

When the economy pauses, as it has recently in what looks like a soft landing,
it is usually just a temporary phase of continuing growth or slowdown. The key
to which way the economy goes after the pause lies with interest rates. Rising
interest rates lead to slower economic growth, and a recession can follow. On
the other hand, when interest rates fall, as they have recently, there is still
plenty of financial capacity for the economy to grow. Generally, this type of
pause is followed by a reacceleration of economic growth. We expect the
reacceleration to occur in the second half of 1995.

While there are several factors influencing whether, and how much, interest
rates rise or fall, two are key-growth and inflation.

While we anticipate an acceleration of growth, we are not looking for a robust
burst of economic activity. The fourth quarter of 1994 was much stronger than
the long-term trend, and typically when that happens, succeeding quarters are
slower. First quarter 1995 real GDP growth was only 2.7%, and the second quarter
is likely to be weaker.

Looking at the second half of the year, we anticipate a recovery to about 3%
growth in real GDP. With this increase in growth, we expect rising credit
demands, and upward pressure on interest rates.

Inflationary pressures will also increase in the second half of 1995. Price
increases have entered the economic pipeline at the producers' end, but have not
yet flowed into the retail market. Consumers are very price conscious and
businesses have cut costs to compete. However, at some point they will not be
able to cut further, and they will be forced to pass along their higher costs.
The year-over-year increase in the Consumer Price Index has already established
a clear up trend, rising by 3.1% over the last 12 months. We anticipate as much
as a 3.5%-4% increase in inflation on consumer prices which is higher than the
consensus expectation of approximately 3%.

In addition to growth and inflation, several other factors earlier this year
will influence interest rates in the months ahead. The moves in the U.S.
Congress to cut expenditures and balance the budget are gathering momentum, and
that has helped the U.S. bond market. However, the failure of the balanced
budget amendment sparked a substantial decline in the value of the U.S. dollar.
Ironically, this decline helped the U.S. bond market.

As the dollar declined, compared with major currencies, foreign central banks
became large buyers of U.S. bonds in their dollar-support effort which helped
fuel the recent rally in the bond market. However, foreign governments are not
economic buyers, and if the dollar stabilizes or strengthens, they could become
large sellers which could adversely impact U.S. bond prices.


                                                                               3

                                [GLOBE ARTWORK]

Furthermore, cash flows into bond mutual funds have been a negative for bonds
indicating continuing weak demand from individual investors.

Both bonds and stocks have recently been appreciating together which is very
unusual for this latter stage of the cycle. This kind of market behavior is more
typical of the period immediately following a recession, when the Federal
Reserve Board (the Fed) is lowering interest rates and profit growth is
accelerating. The stock market, like the bond market, is also overextended, and
there is a cyclical risk of a relatively strong pullback which could be
triggered by the fear of decelerating earnings.

The larger economic picture is still very positive for financial assets and
should continue over the long term. However, economic cycles still dominate
financial markets, and the current cycle has not yet ended.

We do not anticipate a recession this year. Typically, rates rise into a
recession, and they have been declining during the first half of the year. Those
lower rates will fuel a new burst of economic activity and higher consumer
prices, both of which will put upward pressure on interest rates.

Thus, we are cautious on both bonds and stocks for the second half of this year.
The equity market appears to be more overextended than the bond market, although
both are running well above their average total return trends. We believe the
high rates of return earned in the first half are not sustainable for the full
year.

The Fed has been holding short-term rates steady; however, higher growth and
inflation will begin to push market interest rates up. We believe the Fed is
falling behind the trend toward higher prices, and will be forced to raise
interest rates again as the inflation rate increases later this year.

Strategically, we would remain cautious now, and average in new investments on
significant pullbacks. The conservative investment virtues of patience and
discipline are those most likely to be rewarded during the remainder of the
year.

Please read the Portfolio Managers' Reviews, which follow this letter, for a
detailed perspective on the Funds' performance and our strategy going forward.

During the first half of 1995, large-cap companies outperformed small-cap
companies. However, leadership changed late in the second quarter as small-cap
companies surged ahead. The Fund owns a diversified mix of both large and small
cap companies.

The groups that led performance at the end of 1994 have continued to advance
strongly during the first half of 1995. The two best performing sectors of our
market have been the telecommunications and financial groups.

The telecommunications companies that have contributed most to performance are
those that are serving the needs of the rapidly growing information
superhighway. And, as interest rates have declined, the earnings for financial
companies have soared, particularly for specialty finance companies. In
addition, even though the capital goods sector has not been a major performer as
a group, some broadly diversified capital goods companies have performed
extremely well.

The asset allocation of the IAI Balanced Portfolio is currently 60% invested in
stocks and 40% invested in bonds.

In the stock portion of the portfolio, we continued to apply our bottom-up
approach in the first half of 1995, to identify high quality stocks and
capitalize on opportunities caused by market overreactions to short-term
earnings disappointments.

Our outlook for the fixed income market is cautious. We believe that going
forward, yield, not bond price appreciation, will contribute the most to total
fixed income performance. We have maintained our position in a high quality
intermediate-term security and added exposure in preferred stock to enhance
portfolio yield.

The IAI Reserve Portfolio continues to invest in high quality debt issues to
pursue its goals of current income and principal preservation.

The Portfolio is currently invested 23.6% in United States Treasuries and 76.4%
in agency discount notes.

The U.S. economy is in the latter half of the second phase of the credit cycle,
which is characterized by an expanding economy, diminishing resource capacity,
and adequate credit availability. The Fed has followed a loose monetary policy,
and even though economic growth slowed in the first half of 1995, it is likely
to increase later this year and put upward pressure on interest rates.
Strategically, we continue to maintain a conservative risk stance both in terms
of duration and quality.

referred to as "the Portfolios") are separate portfolios of IAI Retirement
Funds, Inc.  Significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios are
summarized below:

SECURITY VALUATION

Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges are valued at
the last reported sales price at the close of each business day; securities
traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported bid price.
The values of debt securities are determined using pricing services or prices
quoted by independent brokers.  Restricted securities for which there is no
public market are valued at fair value in good faith as determined by the Board
of Directors.  Short-term securities with a maturity of 60 days or less from the
date of purchase are valued at amortized cost.  Short-term securities with a
maturity greater than 60 days from the date of purchase are marked-to-market on
a daily basis.

FEDERAL TAXES

Since it is each Portfolio's policy to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders, no provision for income
taxes is required.

Net investment income and net realized gains may differ for financial statement
and tax purposes primarily because of the deferral of "wash sale" losses for tax
purposes.  The character of distributions made during the year for net
investment income or net realized gains may also differ from its ultimate
characterization for tax purposes.

For federal income tax purposes, Regional Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio and
Reserve Portfolio have capital loss carryovers of $1,959, $670, and $13,
respectively, at December 31, 1994 which, if not offset by subsequent capital
gains, will expire in 2002.  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.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

The Portfolios 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 recorded on the accrual basis.  The
Portfolios 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.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date.  Cash payment and
reinvestments in additional shares are made at the net asset value at the close
of business on the payable date.  Distributions from net investment income are
made semi-annually for Regional Portfolio and Balanced Portfolio and monthly for
Reserve Portfolio.  Capital gains, if any, are primarily distributed at the end
of the calendar year.  Additional capital gains distributions as needed to
comply with federal tax regulations are distributed during the year.

ORGANIZATION COSTS
Organization costs are being amortized over 60 months on a straight-line basis.

                               FEES AND EXPENSES

Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, Regional Portfolio,
Balanced Portfolio and Reserve Portfolio pay Investment Advisers, Inc.
(Advisers) a management fee based upon average daily net assets equal, on an
annual basis, to .65%, .65% and .45%, respectively.

The Portfolios also pay an annual fee to Advisers for acting as the Portfolios'
dividend-disbursing, administrative, and accounting services agent.  The fee is
based on an annual rate of .10% of average daily net assets for each Portfolio.

In addition to the advisory and dividend-disbursing, administrative, and
accounting services fees, the Portfolios are responsible for paying their
operating expenses, including costs incurred in the purchase and sale of assets.
Advisers has currently voluntarily agreed to waive expenses for Regional
Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio and Reserve Portfolio in excess of 1.25%, 1.25%
and .85%, respectively, of average daily net assets.
