2005Annual Report

First American Index Funds

An index fund is a mutual fund that seeks to mirror, as closely as possible, the returns of a market index. It does so by purchasing almost all of the holdings in the index in roughly the same percentages. An equity index measures the collective value of a group of stocks in a specific segment of the marketplace. The most commonly known market index is the S&P 500 Index.

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2004

Equity Index fund

Investment Objective: to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index ("S&P 500 Composite Index")

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Equity Index Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 11.92% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 11.69% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Composite Index*, returned 12.25% for the same period.

How did general economic and market conditions affect performance?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004. The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. The energy sector proved a standout, making the most substantial contribution to the fund's performance.

While stocks in general were up in excess of their long-term historical averages, mid- and small-capitalization stocks generally outperformed large-capitalization stocks as they were more leveraged to the growing economy. The S&P 500 Composite Index, constructed of large-cap stocks, lagged somewhat behind the mid- and small- cap indices but still experienced positive returns of more than 12%.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Fund Overview

The fund is invested to replicate the S&P 500 Composite Index as closely as possible with consideration to turnover costs and fees. As a result, the fund performed very similarly to the index. The index includes 500 leading companies in the leading industries of the U.S. economy and covers about 75% of the dollar value of all traded stocks in the U.S. market.

During the fiscal year, Standard & Poor's modified its methodology: rather than counting all shares outstanding of a particular stock, the index now counts only the freely traded "float" shares outstanding. Since insiders often have significant impediments to trading even if the stock appears over or undervalued, tracking holdings of independent investors (i.e., noninsiders) allows the index to better reflect the consensus judgment of the potential benefit of holding a specific company's stock.

Like the index, the fund benefited from strong performance by the energy sector, which had a total return of 48%. Of the 29 company stocks currently in the energy sector, seven more than doubled in price and none had a total return of less than 24%. In keeping with the developments in the energy market, the small utilities sector rose 39%, primarily on the performance of independent power producers.

Last year's top performer, the consumer discretionary sector, proved the largest detractor from performance during this fiscal period, with a total return of 5% for the year. Although the economy was growing steadily and consumer spending remained robust, the sector was weakened chiefly because it contained two of the three worst performing industries, automobiles and auto components (the third was leisure equipment and products).

*Unlike mutual funds, index returns do not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects.

Value of $10,000 Investment^{1, 3}as of September 30, 2005

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in the index is not available.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

²  An unmanaged index of large-capitalization stocks that includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500 focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with over 80% coverage of U.S. equities, it also serves as a proxy for the total market.

³  Performance for Class B, Class C, and Class R shares is not presented. Performance for these classes will vary due to different expense structures.

The charts above illustrate the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares (from 9/30/1995 to 9/30/2005) as compared to the S&P 500 Composite Index.²

Equity Index fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Equity Index Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expense Examples

¹ Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio for the most recent six-month period of 0.62%, 1.37%, 1.37%, 0.87% and 0.37% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent half-year/365 days (to reflect the one-half year period).

² Based on the actual returns for the six months ended September 30, 2005: 4.76% for Class A, 4.38% for Class B, 4.36% for Class C, 4.60% for Class R, and 4.84% for Class Y.

Mid Cap Index fund

Investment Objective: to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Composite Index ("S&P MidCap 400 Index")

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Mid Cap Index Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 21.82% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 21.43% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index*, returned 22.16% for the same period.

How did general economic and market conditions affect performance?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004. The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. The energy sector proved a standout, making the most substantial contribution to the fund's performance.

While stocks in general were up in excess of their long-term historical averages, the fund benefited from the fact that mid- and small-capitalization stocks generally outperformed large-capitalization stocks as they were more leveraged to the growing economy. The S&P MidCap 400 Index, constructed of stocks in the middle range of company size (companies with market capitalizations between $1.5 billion to $5 billion) reflected this performance, returning more than 22% for the fiscal year.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Fund Overview

The fund is invested to replicate the S&P MidCap 400 Index closely before fees, while attempting to reduce turnover costs. As a result, the fund performed very similarly to that index. The index includes stocks that reflect the risk and return characteristics of the broader mid-cap universe. Mid-cap stocks are now being recognized as an independent asset class and the capitalization range of this index covers about 10% of the U.S. equities market.

During the fiscal year, the largest contributor to performance for the fund was the energy sector, which had, on an average, a weighting of 9% and a total return of 61%. Other contributors to the fund's performance were the consumer staples and utilities sectors, which performed better than the overall index.

The telecommunications sector, in which the fund had a small position, experienced the worst overall performance, falling 2.5% during the fiscal year.

*Unlike mutual funds, index returns do not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects.

Mid Cap Index fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Mid Cap Index Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Small Cap Index fund

Investment Objective: to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Small Cap Index Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 16.93% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 17.08% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index*, returned 17.95% for the same period.

How did general economic and market conditions affect performance?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004. The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. The energy sector proved a standout, making the most substantial contribution to the fund's performance.

While stocks in general were up in excess of their long-term historical averages, the fund benefited from the fact that mid- and small-capitalization stocks generally outperformed large-capitalization stocks as they were more leveraged to the growing economy. The Russell 2000 Index, constructed of small-cap stocks, reflected this performance, returning more than 17% for the fiscal year.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Fund Overview

The fund is invested to replicate the Russell 2000 Index as closely as possible with consideration to turnover costs and fees. The index includes the traded shares of U.S. companies ranked 1,001 through 3,000 in size, thereby skipping large- and mid-capitalization names in the list of investable companies. When Russell "re-constitutes" its list to reflect changes in company size (in late June of each year), the index incurs turnover in excess of 25%.

Unlike the index, the fund must pay transactions costs to adjust its holdings. From these costs – and from management's efforts to reduce them by updating holdings at slightly different dates than other index managers were selling and buying the same names – the fund's performance lagged slightly behind the index.

The fund's 6% weighting in the energy sector helped it take advantage of a very strong performance in that area. During the fiscal year, the sector rose 74%, with many of the smaller, independent producers more than doubling in price. The fund also benefited from exposure to industrials, with a 14% weighting, mainly due to the strong performance of the construction and engineering industries.

Last year's top performer, the consumer discretionary sector, proved the largest detractor from performance during this fiscal period, with a total return of 10.5% for the year. Although the economy was growing steadily and consumer spending remained robust, the sector was weakened chiefly because it contained two of the three worst performing industries, automobiles and auto components (the third was leisure equipment and products).

*Unlike mutual funds, index returns do not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects.

Value of $10,000 Investment^{1, 3}as of September 30, 2005

The charts above illustrate the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the funds Class A and Class Y shares (from 12/30/1998 to 9/30/2005) as compared to the Russell 2000 Index.²

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in the index is not available.

Stocks of small-capitalization companies involve substantial risk. These stocks historically have experienced greater price volatility than stocks of larger companies, and they may be expected to do so in the future.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

On September 24, 2001, the Small Cap Index Fund became the successor by merger to the Firstar Small Cap Index Fund, a series of the Firstar Funds, Inc. Prior to the merger, the First American Fund had no assets or liabilities. Performance presented prior to September 24, 2001, represents that of the Firstar Small Cap Index Fund. The Firstar Small Cap Index Fund was organized on December 11, 2000, and, prior to that, was a separate series of Mercantile Mutual Funds, Inc.

²  An unmanaged index that measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

³  Performance for Class B, Class C, and Class R shares is not presented. Performance for these classes will vary due to different expense structures.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Small Cap Index Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class Y Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$	1,000.00	$	1,021.91	$	3.19

¹ Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio for the most recent six-month period of 0.88%, 1.63%, 1.63%, 1.13% and 0.63% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

² Based on the actual returns for the six months ended September 30, 2005: 8.57% Class A, 8.14% Class B, 8.15% Class C, 8.52% Class R, and 8.70% for Class Y, respectively.

³ Prior to July 1, 2005 the contractual limitation on annual expenses was 0.93%, 1.68%, 1.68%, 1.18%, and 0.68% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y, respectively. Effective July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y was lowered to 0.83%, 1.58%, 1.58%, 1.08%, and 0.58%, respectively. If this new limitation had been in place during the entire period, actual and hypothetical ending account balances would hav e been $1,085.96 and $1,020.91 for Class A, $1,081.66 and $1,017.15 for Class B, $1,081.76 and $1,017.15 for Class C, $1,085.46 and $1,019.65 for Class R, and $1,087.26 and $1,022.16 for Class Y, and the actual and hypothetical expenses paid during the period would have been approximately $4.34 and $4.20 for Class A, $8.24 and $7.99 for Class B, $8.24 and $7.99 for Class C, $5.65 and $5.47 for Class R, and $3.03 and $2.94 for Class Y.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
First American Investment Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Equity Index, Mid Cap Index, and Small Cap Index Funds (series of First American Investment Funds, Inc.) (the "funds") as of September 30, 2005, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, except as noted below. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of the Mid Cap Index and Small Cap Index Funds for the periods presented through October 31, 2000, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 29, 2000 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designating audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the ac counting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights audited by us as referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the funds listed above of the First American Investment Funds, Inc. at September 30, 2005, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial StatementsSeptember 30, 2005

1 >  Organization

The Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, and Small Cap Index Fund (each a "fund" and collectively, the "funds") are mutual funds offered by First American Investment Funds, Inc. ("FAIF") which is a member of the First American Family of Funds. As of September 30, 2005, FAIF offered 38 funds, including the funds listed above. FAIF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. FAIF's articles of incorporation permit the funds' board of directors to create additional funds in the future. The Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund and Small Cap Index Fund are each diversified open-end management investment companies.

FAIF offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y shares. Prior to July 1, 2004, Class R shares were named Class S shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for six years and automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for 12 months, and will not convert to Class A shares. Class R shares have no sales charge and are offered only through certain tax-deferred retirement plans. Class Y shares have no sales charge and are offered only to qualifying institutional investors and certain other qualifying accounts.

The funds' prospectuses provide descriptions of each fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that certain fees, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, may differ among classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights on any matters relating to that class' servicing or distribution arrangements.

On June 22, 2005 the funds' board of directors approved a change in the funds' fiscal year-end from September 30 to October 31, effective with the one-month period ending October 31, 2005.

2 >  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

SECURITY VALUATIONS – Security valuations for the funds' investments are furnished by one or more independent pricing services that have been approved by the funds' board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the funds utilize the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask range of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask rang e, and falls above the ask, the ask will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 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 formula-driven valuation 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. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. When market quot ations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the funds' board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, and various other indices, may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. The use of fair value pric ing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. As of September 30, 2005, the Equity Index Fund and Small Cap Index Fund had fair valued securities with a total market value of $0 and $0 or 0.0% and 0.0%, respectively, of total net assets for the fund. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective net asset value of each underlying fund on the valuation date.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recorded on an 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. The resulting gain/loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value and the underlying cost of the security on the transaction date. Each fund reserves the right to pay part or all of the proceeds from a redemption request in a proportionate share of readily marketable securities in the fund instead of cash.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for Mid Cap Index Fund and Small Cap Index Fund and monthly for Equity Index Fund, and are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Any net realized capital gains on sales of a fund's securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.

FEDERAL TAXES – Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to losses deferred from wash sales, the tax recognition of mark to market gains (losses) on open futures contracts, proceeds from securities litigation, book gains recognized from in-kind distributions and the sale of Real Estate Investment Trust securities. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.

On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made (000):

Fund	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)			Undistributed Net Investment Income			Portfolio Capital
Equity Index Fund	$	(115,376	)	$	(157	)	$	115,533
Mid Cap Index Fund		(2,697	)		6			2,691
Small Cap Index Fund		243			(256	)		13

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) are recorded by the fund. The distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, were characterized as follows (000):

	2005
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long Term Gain		Return of Capital		Total

Notes to Financial StatementsSeptember 30, 2005

The difference between book and tax basis unrealized appreciation is primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the amount of gain (loss) recognized for tax purposes due to mark to market adjustments on open futures contracts, and return of capital distributions related to Real Estate Investment Trust investments.

As of September 30, 2005, the following fund had capital loss carryforwards (000):

	Expiration Year
Fund	2010		2011		2013		Total
Equity Index Fund	$	3,112	$	10,900	$	64	$	14,076

Equity Index Fund incurred a loss of $1,376,053 for tax purposes for the period from November 1, 2004 to September 30, 2005. As permitted by tax regulations, the fund intends to elect to defer and treat this loss as arising in the one-month fiscal period ending October 31, 2005.

FUTURES TRANSACTIONS – In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market, the funds may enter into S&P and Russell Index futures contracts and other stock index futures contracts.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government securities in an amount equal to five percent of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract (initial margin). Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or securities, are made or received by the fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain (loss) equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the fund's basis in the contract.

The funds' investment in stock index futures contracts is designed to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests and to increase the level of fund assets devoted to replicating the composition of the S&P and Russell Indices while reducing transaction costs. Risks of entering into futures contracts, in general, include the possibility that there will not be a perfect price correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that a fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the fund's statement of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains (losses) on outstanding positions in futures contracts held at the close of the year will be recognized as capital gains (losses) for federal income tax purposes.

ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the funds' board of directors as reflecting fair value. Each fund intends to invest no more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and m ay have contractual restrictions on resale. Certain restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, including Rule 144A securities, are not subject to the limitation on a fund's investment in illiquid securities if they are determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the funds' board of directors. At September 30, 2005, Equity Index Fund and Small Cap Index Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $0 and $0, respectively, or 0.0% and 0.0%, respectively of total net assets.

Information concerning illiquid securities, including restricted securities considered to be illiquid, is as follows:

SECURITIES LENDING – In order to generate additional income, each fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets (which includes collateral for securities on loan) to broker-dealers, banks, or other institutional borrowers of securities. Each fund's policy is to maintain collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities, or other high-grade debt obligations equal to at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. The collateral is then "marked-to-market" daily until the securities are returned. As with other extensions of credit, there may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the security fail financially. As of September 30, 2005, cash collateral invested was as follows (000):

	Commercial Paper		Corporate Obligations		Repurchase Agreements		Other Short-Term Securities		Total
Equity Index Fund	$	173,876	$	204,715	$	318,368	$	15,418	$	712,377
Mid Cap Index Fund		33,162		39,044		60,720		2,941		135,867
Small Cap Index Fund		10,005		11,779		18,319		887		40,990

U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM") serves as the securities lending agent for the funds in transactions involving the lending of portfolio securities on behalf of the funds. USBAM acts as the securities lending agent pursuant to, and subject to compliance with conditions contained in, an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, USBAM received fees equal to 35% of each fund's income from securities lending transactions. Effective January 1, 2006, such fees will be lowered to 32% of each fund's income from securities lending transactions. Fees paid to USBAM by the funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, were as follows (000):

Fund	Total
Equity Index Fund	$	337
Mid Cap Index Fund		68
Small Cap Index Fund	��	75

SECURITY LITIGATION SETTLEMENTS – Income from settlement proceeds related to portfolio securities is recorded as an adjustment to realized or unrealized gains or losses. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, the Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund and the Small Cap Index Fund recorded $102,331, $70,024, and $6,761 respectively, as an adjustment to realized gains or losses for settlement proceeds related to securities no longer included in the portfolios.

EXPENSES – Expenses that are directly related to one of the funds are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are generally allocated to the funds on the basis of relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds. Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees are borne by that class. Income, other expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of a fund are allocated to each respective class in proportion to the relative net assets of each class.

INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM – Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies in the First American Family of Funds, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. The funds did not have any interfund lending transactions during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN – Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested directors of the First American Family of Funds, including First American Investment Funds, Inc., may participate and elect to defer receipt of part or all of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of selected open-end First American Funds as designated by the board of directors. All amounts in the Plan are 100% vested and accounts under the plan are obligations of the funds. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the plan.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U. S. 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 results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3 >  Fees and Expenses

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement"), USBAM, a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), manages each fund's assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research, and personnel. The Agreement requires each fund to pay USBAM a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. The annual fee for Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund and Small Cap Index Fund is 0.25%, 0.25% and 0.40%, respectively. USBAM has agreed to waive fees and reimburse other fund expenses through June 30, 2006, so that total fund operating expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, do not exceed the following amounts:

	Share Class
Fund	A			B			C			R			Y
Equity Index Fund		0.62	%		1.37	%		1.37	%		0.87	%		0.37	%

The funds may invest in related money market funds that are series of First American Funds, Inc. ("FAF"), subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to USBAM, which acts as the investment advisor to both the investing funds and the related money market funds, USBAM will reimburse each investing fund an amount equal to that portion of USBAM's investment advisory fee received from the related money market funds that is attributable to the assets of the investing fund. For financial statement purposes, these reimbursements are recorded as investment income.

ADMINISTRATION FEES – Effective July 1, 2005, USBAM serves as the funds' administrator pursuant to an administration agreement between USBAM and the funds. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC ("USBFS") serves as sub-administrator pursuant to a sub-administration agreement between USBFS and USBAM. Both U.S. Bank and USBFS are direct subsidiaries of U.S. Bancorp. Under the administration agreement, USBAM is compensated to provide, or compensate other entities to provide, services to the funds. These services include various legal, oversight and administrative services and accounting services. Effective July 1, 2005, the funds pay USBAM administration fees, which are calculated daily and paid monthly, equal to each fund's pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annua l basis, to 0.15% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds, up to $8 billion, 0.135% on the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.12% on the next $25 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.10% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. All fees paid to the sub-administrator are paid from the administration fee. In addition to these fees, the funds may reimburse USBAM and, indirectly, the sub-administrator for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing administration services.

Prior to July 1, 2005, USBAM and USBFS served as "co-administrators" pursuant to a co-administration agreement between the co-administrators and the funds. The funds paid the administration fees to the co-administrators, which were calculated daily and paid monthly, equal to each fund's pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds, up to $8 billion, 0.235% of the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.22% of the next $25 billion of the aggregate daily net assets, and 0.20% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. In addition, the funds paid transfer agent fees under the co-administration agreement of $18,500 per share class plus additional per account fees. In addition to these fees, the funds r eimbursed the co-administrators for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing administration services.

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES – Quasar Distributors, LLC ("Quasar"), a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, serves as the distributor of the funds pursuant to a distribution agreement with FAIF.

No distribution or shareholder servicing fees are paid by Class&nbs p;Y shares. These fees may be used by Quasar to provide compensation for sales support, distribution activities, or shareholder servicing activities.

FAIF has also adopted and entered into a shareholder servicing plan and agreement with USBAM with respect to the Class R shares. Each fund pays USBAM a monthly shareholder servicing fee equal to an annual rate of 0.15% of each fund's average daily net assets of the Class R shares.

(a) and (b) are based on a percentage of the fund's total distributions.

(c) is based on a percentage of ordinary income distributions of the fund.

(d) For the fiscal period ended September 30, 2005, certain dividends paid by the funds may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15% as provided for by the Internal Revenue Code 1(h). The funds intend to designate the maximum amounts as taxed at the maximum rate of 15%. Complete information will be computed and reported in conjunction with your 2005 Form 1099-DIV.

HOW TO OBTAIN A COPY OF THE FUNDS' PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROXY VOTING RECORD

A description of the policies and procedures that the funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities, as well as information regarding how the funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, 2005, is available (1) without charge upon request by calling 800.677.FUND; (2) at firstamericanfunds.com; and (3) on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commision's website at http://www.sec.gov.

FORM N-Q HOLDINGS INFORMATION

Each fund is required to file its complete schedule of portfolio holdings for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. The funds' Forms N-Q are available (1) without charge upon request by calling 800.677.FUND and (2) on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commision's website at http://www.sec.gov.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTThe Board of Directors of the Funds (the "Board"), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, oversees the management of each Fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Funds' advisory agreement with U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM").

At a meeting on May 3-5 2005, the Board considered information relating to the Funds' investment advisory agreement with USBAM (the "Agreement"). In advance of the meeting, the Board received materials relating to the Agreement, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. At a subsequent meeting on June 20-22, 2005, the Board concluded its consideration of and approved the Agreement through June 30, 2006.

Although the Agreement, which is with First American Investment Funds, Inc., relates to all of the Funds, the Board separately considered and approved the Agreement with respect to each Fund. In considering the Agreement, the Board,

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

56

advised by independent legal counsel, reviewed and considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of USBAM's services to the Fund, (2) the investment performance of the Fund, (3) the profitability of USBAM related to the Fund, including an analysis of USBAM's cost of providing services and comparative expense information, (4) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels are adjusted to enable Fund investors to share in these economies of scale, and (5) other benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the Funds. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board's decision to approve the Agreement.

Before approving the Agreement, the Board met in executive session with its independent counsel on numerous occasions to consider the materials provided by USBAM and the terms of the Agreement. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board concluded that the Agreement is fair and in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered the following:

Nature, Quality and Extent of Investment Advisory Services

The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by USBAM to each Fund. The Board reviewed USBAM's key personnel who provide investment management services to each Fund as well as the fact that, under the Agreement, USBAM has the authority and responsibility to make and execute investment decisions for each Fund within the framework of that Fund's investment policies and restrictions, subject to review by the Board. The Board further considered that USBAM's duties with respect to each Fund include (i) investment research and security selection, (ii) adherence to (and monitoring compliance with) the Fund's investment policies and restrictions and the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (iii) monitoring the performance of the various organizations providing services to the Fund, including the Fund's distributor, sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian. Final ly, the Board considered USBAM's representation that the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement are the type of services customarily provided by investment advisors in the fund industry.

The Board also considered compliance reports about USBAM from the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer.

Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that each Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Funds

The Board considered the performance of each Fund, including how the Fund performed versus the median performance of a group of comparable funds selected by an independent data service (the "performance universe") and how the Fund performed versus its benchmark index. The performance periods reviewed by the Board all ended on February 28, 2005.

Equity Index Fund. The Board noted that the objective of the Fund is to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index. The Board considered that, while the Fund performed slightly below its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, on a gross-of-fees basis, the Fund achieved a correlation with its benchmark index over the past three years of over 99.9%. The Fund's performance was comparable to that of its performance universe for all periods, being generally equal to or slightly above the performance universe for Class Y shares and slightly below the performance universe for Class A shares. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's close tracking of its benchmark index and co mpetitive performance vis-à-vis its performance universe, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Mid Cap Index Fund. The Board noted that the objective of the Fund is to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Composite Index. The Board considered that, while the Fund performed below its benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods, on a gross-of-fees basis, the Fund achieved a correlation with its benchmark index over the past three years of over 99.9%. The Fund's performance was equal to or better than that of its performance universe for all periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's close tracking of its benchmark index and competitive performance vis-à-vis its performance universe, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Small Cap Index Fund. The Board noted that the objective of the Fund is to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index. The Board considered that, while the Fund performed slightly below its benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods, on a gross-of-fees basis, the Fund achieved a correlation with its benchmark index over the past three years of over 99.9%. For the five-year period, the Fund performed significantly better than its benchmark index. This performance period, however, included a period of time when the Fund was benchmarked against a different index. The Fund underperformed its performance universe for all periods. The Board considered USBAM's assertion, however, that while the performance universe consists of a very large number of funds, only a small number of funds (the "custom performance universe") appear to track the Russell 2000 Index. The Board noted that the Fund's performance compared favorably to the performance of the custom performance universe, being approximately equal to that of the custom performance universe for the one-year period, and slightly lower for the three-year period. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's close tracking of its benchmark index and its competitive performance when compared to other funds that track the Russell 2000 Index, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by USBAM

The Board reviewed USBAM's estimated costs in serving as the Funds' investment manager, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage each Fund. The Board also considered the reported profitability of USBAM and its affiliates resulting from their relationship with each Fund. For each Fund, the Board reviewed fee and expense information as compared to that of other funds and accounts managed by USBAM and of comparable funds managed by other advisers. The Board found that while the management fees for USBAM's institutional separate accounts are lower than the Funds' management fees, the Funds receive additional services from USBAM that separate accounts do not receive.

Using information provided by an independent data service, the Board also evaluated each Fund's advisory fee compared to the median advisory fee for other mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy, and each Fund's expense ratio after waivers compared to the median expense ratio, after waivers, of comparable funds. In connection with its review of Fund fees and expenses, the Board asked USBAM to articulate its pricing philosophy. USBAM responded that it attempts generally to maintain each Fund's total operating expenses at a level that approximates its peer group median expense ratio. In addition, USBAM committed to waive its investment advisory fees to the extent necessary to maintain the Funds' total expense ratios at levels generally in line with their respective peer groups. Consistent with this pricing philosophy, and after discussions with the Board, USBAM proposed certain chan ges to the expense ratios of the Small Cap Index Fund, as discussed in more detail below. The Board concluded that USBAM's pricing philosophy is a reasonable one and, after taking into account USBAM's proposed change to the expense ratio of Small Cap Index Fund, that the Funds' advisory fees and expense ratios are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the advisory fees and expense ratios of each Fund is set forth below:

Equity Index Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's contractual advisory fee is equal to its peer group median contractual advisory fee and that, after waivers, the Fund's advisory fee is significantly lower and the Fund's expense ratio is slightly lower than the peer group median. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are reasonable.

Mid Cap Index Fund. The Board considered that both the Fund's contractual advisory fee and its advisory fee after waivers are significantly lower than the peer group median fees. In addition, the Fund's expense ratio after waivers is slightly lower than the peer group median. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are reasonable.

Small Cap Index Fund. The Board considered that, while the Fund's contractual advisory fee is slightly higher than that of the peer group median, after waivers, the Fund's advisory fee is equal to the peer group's median advisory fee. The Board also noted, however, that the Fund's total expense ratio after waivers of 0.93% was higher than the Lipper expense group median of 0.77%. To bring the Fund's total expense ratio more closely in line with that of its peer group median, USBAM agreed to cap total Fund expenses at 0.83%. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the new expense cap, are reasonable.

Economies of Scale in Providing Investment Advisory Services

The Board considered the extent to which each Fund's investment advisory fee reflects economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Based on information provided by USBAM, the Board noted that profitability will likely increase somewhat as assets grow over time. The Board considered that, although the Funds do not have advisory fee breakpoints in place, USBAM has committed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary to keep each Fund's total expenses generally in line with the median total expenses of a peer group of funds as selected by an independent data service. The median total expense ratio of a Fund's peer group will necessarily reflect the effect of any breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules of the funds in that group. Therefore, by capping a Fund's total expense ratio at a level close to the median, Fund shareholders will effectively receive the benefit of any breakpoints in the comparable funds' advisory fee schedules. In light of USBAM's commitment to keep total Fund expenses competitive, the Board concluded that it would be reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Other Benefits to USBAM

In evaluating the benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that USBAM and certain of its affiliates serve the Funds in various capacities, including as advisor, administrator, sub-administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian and securities lending agent, and receive compensation from the Funds in connection with providing services to the Funds. The Board considered that each service provided to the Funds by USBAM or one of its affiliates is pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically as required by law.

The Board also considered USBAM's use of the Funds' portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain research. The Board concluded, based on its own review and on representations of USBAM, that USBAM's use of "soft" commission dollars was consistent with regulatory requirements.

After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that approval of the Agreement was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.

Arizona Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Arizona state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Arizona Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 3.65% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 3.49%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 4.05%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper Arizona Municipal Debt Funds Category Average, was 2.95%.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Despite these short-term measured rate increases, long-term rates for municipals fell, resulting in generally positive price performance for bonds maturing in 15 years or longer. The flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made refunding attractive. Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance. The prevalence of insurance, combined with investor appetite for higher yields, highlighted the scarcity of lower-graded municipals, making them more valuable. Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Portfolio structure and security selection were primary contributors to the fund's positive performance relative to its peer group. An overweight in bonds with 15-year and longer maturities allowed the fund to limit the effects of rising short-term rates (when interest rates increase, bond prices generally decline). While short-term interest rates continued to rise during the fiscal period, longer-term rates fell, causing longer-maturity bonds to outperform short- and intermediate-maturity bonds in terms of income and price appreciation.

The sectors with the most notably positive effect on performance were healthcare and transportation. Longer-term general obligation bonds also added value.

In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals. The fund's increased position in A-rated bonds enjoyed strong performance due to narrowing spreads. However, as spreads narrowed and lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-rated ones, the fund was unable to increase its percentage of BBB-rated securities due to limited supply. The fund held a significant position of prefunded bonds, which significantly underperformed the general obligation and revenue issues.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

The fund's duration was shortened. Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we sold shorter prerefunded bonds and moved the proceeds to bonds with maturities of 20 years and longer. We continued to selectively increase positions in A-rated securities.

Arizona Tax Free fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Arizona Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

California Intermediate Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and California state income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American California Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 2.66% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 2.51%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 2.03%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper California Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Category Average, was 1.88%.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Despite these short-term measured rate increases, long-term rates for municipals fell, resulting in generally positive price performance for bonds maturing in 15 years or longer. The flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made refunding attractive. Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance. The prevalence of insurance, combined with investor appetite for higher yields, highlighted the scarcity of lower-graded municipals, making them more valuable. Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Portfolio structure and security selection were primary contributors to the fund outperforming the index. The fund emphasized longer-term securities in order to benefit from the flattening yield curve. Consequently, as short-term interest rates continued to rise while longer-term rates declined, this emphasis on longer-term securities (10 years or more) provided better price appreciation along with higher income. The fund also benefited from an incremental "barbelling" strategy, whereby short- and intermediate-maturity bonds are de-emphasized in favor of cash and longer-maturity issues.

In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals. Consequently, the fund's holdings in BBB-rated bonds and A-rated bonds had a positive effect on the fund's performance.

Because of the steadily rising short-term interest rates, shorter-maturity bonds, though generating positive returns, nonetheless underperformed longer-maturing bonds. With credit spreads narrowing, the performance of higher-rated bonds was weaker, as was that of prerefunded bonds.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we increased weighting for bonds with maturities of 10 years or more. The fund's duration was neutral to slightly long to its benchmark throughout most of the fiscal year.

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American California Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 3.85% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 3.50%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 4.05%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Category Average, was 4.52%.

As short-term interest rates continued to rise while longer-term rates declined, shorter-maturity bonds, though generating positive returns, nonetheless underperformed. While the fund emphasized longer-term securities, which provided favorable income with better price appreciation, it would have benefited from a higher allocation at the long end of the yield curve (bond maturities of 22 years or more).

In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals. The fund's holdings rated BBB outperformed higher-rated bonds as spreads narrowed. Despite the strong performance by these bonds, the fund as a whole underperformed relative to the index, largely because of its relatively lower allocation in bonds with longer maturities.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we increased weighting for bonds in the maturity range of 15 to 20 years. We were able to slightly increase the weighting for lower-rated bonds. The fund's duration was mostly neutral to the benchmark during the fiscal year.

The First American Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 2.36% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 2.11%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 2.03%.

The fund's emphasis on revenue bonds vs. general obligations bonds was a positive contributor to performance as revenue bonds generally outperformed. The sector with the most notably positive effect on performance was healthcare.

In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals. The fund's holdings rated A or lower outperformed.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we increased the weighting for bonds in the maturity range of 10 to 15 years. We also slightly increased the weighting for bonds rated A and BBB. The fund's duration was neutral to slightly long vs. the benchmark during the fiscal year.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Colorado Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Colorado state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Colorado Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 3.70% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 3.36%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 4.05%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper Colorado Municipal Debt Funds Category, was 3.37%.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Despite these short-term measured rate increases, long-term rates for municipals fell, resulting in generally positive price performance for bonds maturing in 15 years or longer. The flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made refunding attractive. Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance. The prevalence of insurance, combined with investor appetite for higher yields, highlighted the scarcity of lower-graded municipals, making them more valuable. Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Portfolio structure and security selection were primary contributors to the fund's positive performance relative to its peer group. In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals. Consequently, the fund's holdings in BBB-rated bonds and A-rated bonds had a positive effect on the fund's performance. However, due to limited supply in the state, the fund was unable to increase its percentage of nonrated securities, which contributed to its underperformance as spreads narrowed substantially on these securities.

An overweight in bonds with 15-year and longer maturities allowed the fund to limit the effects of rising short-term rates (when interest rates increase, bond prices generally decline). While short-term interest rates continued to rise during the fiscal year, longer-term rates fell, causing longer-maturity bonds to outperform short- and intermediate-maturity bonds in terms of income and price appreciation.

The fund's emphasis on revenue bonds vs. general obligations bonds was a positive contributor to performance as revenue bonds generally outperformed. The sectors with the most notably positive effect on performance were healthcare, housing, and solid waste disposal.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

The fund's duration was shortened from long to the benchmark to neutral to the benchmark. Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we sold underperforming prerefunded bonds and moved the proceeds to bonds with maturities of 20 years and longer. We continued to selectively increase positions in A/BBB-rated bonds.

Intermediate Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: current income that is exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 2.47% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 2.31%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 2.03%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Category Average, was 1.79%.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The fund had well under 1% of its assets in Louisiana and Mississippi combined, the majority of which are insured.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Portfolio structure and security selection were primary contributors to the fund outperforming the index. The fund emphasized longer-term securities in order to benefit from the flattening yield curve. Consequently, as short-term interest rates continued to rise while longer-term rates declined, this emphasis provided better price appreciation along with higher income.

The fund's emphasis on revenue bonds vs. general obligations bonds was also a positive contributor to performance as revenue bonds generally outperformed. The sectors with the most notably positive effect on performance were healthcare and continuing care retirement community.

In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we increased the weighting for bonds in the maturity range of 10 or more years. We slightly increased the fund's weighting for A-rated securities. The fund's duration was mostly neutral to its benchmark throughout the fiscal year.

Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance. The prevalence of insurance, combined with investor appetite for higher yields, highlighted the scarcity of lower-graded municipals, making them more valuable. Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Portfolio structure and security selection were primary contributors to the fund outperforming the index. The fund emphasized longer-term securities in order to benefit from the flattening yield curve. Consequently, as short-term interest rates continued to rise while longer-term rates declined, this emphasis on longer-term securities provided better price appreciation along with higher income.

The fund's emphasis on revenue bonds vs. general obligations bonds was also a positive contributor to performance as revenue bonds generally outperformed. The sector with the most notably positive effect on performance was healthcare.

In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we decreased the weighting for bonds with maturities of five years or less and increased the weighting for bonds with maturities of 10 years or more. The fund's duration was reduced from neutral to slightly short. We also increased the weighting for bonds rated A or lower and increased our position in the healthcare sector.

Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expense Examples

	Beginning Account Value (4/1/05)		Ending Account Value (9/30/05)		Expenses Paid During Period1 (4/1/05 to 9/30/05)

Minnesota Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Minnesota state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Minnesota Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 4.69% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 4.42%, without taking the sales charge into consideration, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 4.05%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds Objective Average, was 3.57%.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Despite these short-term measured rate increases, long-term rates for municipals fell, resulting in generally positive price performance for bonds maturing in 15 years or longer. The flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made refunding attractive. Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance. The prevalence of insurance, combined with investor appetite for higher yields, highlighted the scarcity of lower-graded municipals, making them more valuable. Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Portfolio structure and security selection were primary contributors to the fund outperforming the index. An overweight in bonds with 17-year and longer maturities allowed the fund to limit the effects of rising short-term rates (when interest rates increase, bond prices generally decline). While short-term interest rates continued to rise during the fiscal period, longer-term rates fell, causing longer-maturity bonds to outperform short- and intermediate-maturity bonds in terms of income and price appreciation.

The fund's emphasis on revenue bonds vs. general obligations bonds was a positive contributor to performance as revenue bonds generally outperformed. The sectors that had a positive effect on performance were healthcare and electric utility revenue.

The fund held positions in bonds that were advance-refunded during the fiscal year, which also made a positive contribution to performance. They significantly increased in value following news of their refunding because of their relatively high coupons and now shorter maturities. These bonds will now be retired on their call date, which is typically much earlier than original maturity.

The fund's positions in general obligation bonds detracted from overall performance, as these issues underperformed the broad municipal index.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we sold short and intermediate maturities (two to nine years) and purchased issues with maturities of 15 years or more. We also placed more emphasis on premium coupon structures – bonds with a coupon that is higher than current market rates. If rates rise, this higher coupon can act as a cushion or buffer.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Minnesota Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Missouri Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Missouri state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Missouri Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 3.08% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 2.74%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 4.05%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper Missouri Municipal Debt Funds Category Average, was 3.53%

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Despite these short-term measured rate increases, long-term rates for municipals fell, resulting in generally positive price performance for bonds maturing in 15 years or longer. The flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made refunding attractive. Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance.

Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

As short-term interest rates continued to rise while longer-term rates declined, shorter-maturity bonds, though generating positive returns, nonetheless underperformed. While the fund emphasized longer-term securities, which provided favorable income with better price appreciation, it would have benefited from a higher allocation at the long end of the yield curve (bond maturities of 22 years or more).

In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities – specifically the fund's holdings rated A or lower – outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals. However, due to limited supply, the fund was unable to increase its position in lower-rated bonds to desired levels.

The fund's emphasis on revenue bonds vs. general obligations bonds was a positive contributor to performance as revenue bonds generally outperformed. The sector with the most notably positive effect on performance was healthcare.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we increased the weighting for bonds in the maturity range of 17 to 22 years and decreased the weighting for bonds with maturities of 10 years or under.

We also increased the weighting for bonds rated A or lower and decreased the AA-rated allocation. The fund's duration was neutral during most of the fiscal year.

Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Nebraska Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Nebraska state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Nebraska Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 3.45% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 3.20%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 4.05%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Category Average, was 2.73%.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Despite these short-term measured rate increases, long-term rates for municipals fell, resulting in generally positive price performance for bonds maturing in 15 years or longer. The flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made refunding attractive. Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance. The prevalence of insurance, combined with investor appetite for higher yields, highlighted the scarcity of lower-graded municipals, making them more valuable. Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

During this fiscal period, as short-term interest rates continued to rise while longer-term rates declined, the fund held a significant position of its assets in securities maturing in 15 years and longer. To take further advantage of the yield curve flattening, the fund's 13% increase in net assets was directed to bonds with maturities of 20 years and longer. However, though longer-term municipals generally posted outstanding performance, an overweight position of the fund's assets were invested in bonds with maturities between 10 and 15 years, which underperformed the bonds with longer maturities.

In terms of credit quality, as spreads narrowed and lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-rated ones, the fund was unable to increase its percentage of BBB-rated securities due to limited supply.

The fund's positions in the electric utilities sector underperformed. The sector with the most notably positive effect on performance was healthcare and longer-term general obligation bond sectors.

The fund held positions in bonds that were advance-refunded during the fiscal period, which also made a positive contribution to performance. They significantly increased in value following news of their refunding because of their relatively high coupons and now shorter maturities. These bonds will now be retired on their call date, which is typically much earlier than original maturity.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

The fund's duration was shortened. Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we sold shorter prerefunded bonds and purchased issues with maturities of 20 years or more. We continued to selectively increase positions in A-rated securities when available.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Nebraska Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Ohio Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Ohio state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Ohio Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 3.12% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 2.86%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 4.05%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Category Average, was 3.13%.

Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

The fund was launched in 2002 in a low-rate environment and has had limited opportunity to take advantage of refundings, which could have initially provided an increase in price, subsequent underperformance notwithstanding. As short-term interest rates continued to rise while longer-term rates declined, the fund emphasized longer-term securities, which provided favorable income with better price appreciation. However, the fund's shorter-maturity bond holdings, though generating positive returns, nonetheless underperformed.

In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities – namely the fund's holdings rated A and lower – outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals. However, due to limited supply and pricing opportunities, the fund was unable to increase its position in lower-rated bonds to desirable levels, which had a negative impact the fund's performance.

The fund's increase in revenue bond holdings and reduction in general obligations were positive contributors to performance as the former generally outperformed the latter.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

On the basis of their performance, we increased weighting for bonds rated A or lower. We increased exposure to healthcare and reduced exposure to school districts. The fund's duration was slightly lengthened as lower-rated, higher-yielding securities were added in the range of 15 years or more.

Investment Objective: current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Oregon state income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 1.82% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 1.67%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 2.03%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Category Average, was 1.65%.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Despite these short-term measured rate increases, long-term rates for municipals fell, resulting in generally positive price performance for bonds maturing in 15 years or longer.

Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance. The prevalence of insurance, combined with investor appetite for higher yields, highlighted the scarcity of lower-graded municipals, making them more valuable. Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Portfolio structure was the primary contributor to the fund's outperformance of its peer group. As short-term interest rates continued to rise while longer-term rates declined, the fund sought to benefit from the yield curve flattening by emphasizing longer-term securities, which provided favorable income with better price appreciation. The fund also reduced its exposure to securities with maturities shorter than five years. These shorter-maturity bond holdings, though generating positive returns, nonetheless detracted from performance.

In terms of credit quality, as spreads narrowed and lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-rated ones, the fund was unable to increase its percentage of lower-rated securities due to very limited supply in the state. This less-than-optimal allocation was the primary contributor to the fund's underperformance relative to the index.

Higher coupon bonds were refunded, which caused an initial increase in price, but the refunded bonds subsequently underperformed. A decrease in revenue bonds in the portfolio also had a negative impact on performance

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we increased our weighting for bonds in the maturity range of 10 or more years. We have increased the fund's weighting for AA-rated securities. The fund's duration was relatively neutral throughout the fiscal year.

Performance prior to August 8, 1997, is that of Oregon Municipal Bond Trust Fund, a predecessor common trust fund. On August 8, 1997, substantially all of the assets of Oregon Municipal Bond Trust Fund were transferred into Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund. The objectives, policies, and guidelines of the two funds were, in all material respects, identical. Oregon Municipal Bond Trust Fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore was not subject to certain investment restrictions that might have adversely affected performance.

Oregon Intermediate Tax Free fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Short Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: to provide investors with currrent income that is exempt from federal income tax, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Short Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 0.83% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 0.67%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman 3-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 0.77%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Category Average, was 1.17%.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Despite these short-term measured rate increases, long-term rates for municipals fell, resulting in generally positive price performance for bonds maturing in 15 years or longer. The flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made refunding attractive. Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance. The prevalence of insurance, combined with investor appetite for higher yields, highlighted the scarcity of lower-graded municipals, making them more valuable. Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Portfolio structure and security selection were primary contributors to the fund's performance. Selling bonds with the maturities of two and three years and moving to cash and cash equivalents and/or four- to five-year securities gave the portfolio more of a "barbell" structure throughout the year, enabling it to take better advantage of the flattening yield curve (with longer-maturity bonds outperforming short-term issues).

The fund's emphasis on revenue bonds vs. general obligations bonds was a positive contributor to performance as revenue bonds generally outperformed. The sector with the most notably positive effect on performance was healthcare.

In terms of credit quality, lower-rated, investment-grade securities outperformed higher-quality, investment-grade municipals. The fund's increased positions in A-rated and BBB-rated securities had a positive impact on performance.

The fund shortened its duration to 70% of its benchmark through the first and second quarter with a modest extension during the third quarter. With duration shorter than its benchmark for most of the year, the fund outperformed the benchmark but it underperformed its Lipper peer group as a result of being longer than its peers. The fund held a position of 12.7% of the fund's net assets in the prerefunded sector, which underperformed the general obligations and revenue sectors.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

The fund's duration was shortened. To capture the increase in short rates as a result of the Fed tightening, we moved out of the two- to three-year securities and invested in variable rate demand notes. We continued to selectively increase positions in A-rated and BBB-rated securities when available.

Tax Free fund

Investment Objective: maximum currrent income that is exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with the prudent investment risk

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Tax Free Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 4.77% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 4.51%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 4.05%. Performance for the fund's peer group, the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Objective Average, was 3.49%

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Despite these short-term measured rate increases, long-term rates for municipals fell, resulting in generally positive price performance for bonds maturing in 15 years or longer. The flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made refunding attractive. Refunding is the refinancing of older, higher-coupon bonds by issuing new, lower-coupon bonds. Heavy refunding volume, in turn, gave rise to the record-breaking supply of new municipal bonds. More than half of these new issues carried insurance. The prevalence of insurance, combined with investor appetite for higher yields, highlighted the scarcity of lower-graded municipals, making them more valuable. Consequently, the difference, or spread, between yields on lower- and higher-rated issues continued to narrow, leading the lower-rated municipals to outperform higher-rated ones.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The fund had less than 2% of its assets in Louisiana, all of which were AAA-rated and insured or escrowed in U.S. government securities. The fund had no assets in Mississippi.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Portfolio structure and security selection were primary contributors to the fund's positive performance relative to the index. An overweight in bonds with 17-year and longer maturities allowed the fund to limit the effects of rising short-term rates (when interest rates increase, bond prices generally decline). While short-term interest rates continued to rise during the fiscal period, longer-term rates fell, causing longer-maturity bonds to outperform short- and intermediate-maturity bonds in terms of income and price appreciation. The fund also benefited from being underweight in shorter-term bonds.

The fund's emphasis on revenue bonds vs. general obligations bonds was a positive contributor to performance as revenue bonds generally outperformed. The sectors that had a positive effect on performance included healthcare and industrial development/pollution control revenue.

Overweighting in Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Colorado, all of which outperformed the broad index, proved beneficial to the fund – as did underweighting in Florida, which underperformed the broad index. The fund's underweighting in California and overweighting in Washington and Indiana detracted from performance.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Given the potential for further short-term rate increases and the flattening yield curve, we sold short and intermediate maturities (two to nine years) and purchased issues with maturities of 15 years or more. We also placed more emphasis on premium coupon structures – bonds with a coupon that is higher than current market rates. If rates rise, this higher coupon can act as a cushion or buffer.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of the Missouri Tax Free and Tax Free Funds for the period presented through October 31, 2000, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 29, 2000 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designating audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, a ssessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights audited by us as referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the funds listed above of First American Investment Funds, Inc. at September 30, 2005, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 VALUATIONS – Security valuations for the funds' investments are furnished by one or more independent pricing services that have been approved by the funds' board of directors. Debt obligations exceeding 60 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 formula-driven valuation 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. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. 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 funds' board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from ne t asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. As of September 30, 2005, the funds held no fair-valued securities. Debt obligations with 60 days or

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

less remaining until maturity will be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective net asset value of each underlying fund on the valuation date.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recorded on an 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. Each fund reserves the right to pay part or all of the proceeds from a redemption request in a proportionate share of readily marketable securities in the fund instead of cash. The resulting gain/loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value and the underlying cost of the security on the transaction date.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid monthly and are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of each respective fund. Any net realized capital gains on sales of a fund's securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.

FEDERAL TAXES – Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to book and tax differences for classification of dividends paid by the funds. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.

On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the following reclassifications were made (000):

Fund	Accumulated Net Realized Gain			Undistributed Net Investment Income
Arizona Tax Free Fund	$	(5	)	$	5

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, 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. The distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, were characterized as follows (000):

As of September 30, 2005, Short Tax Free Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $238,000 that will expire in 2013.

The Short Tax Free Fund incurred a loss for tax purposes for the period from November 1, 2004 to September 30, 2005. As permitted by tax regulations, the fund intends to elect to defer and treat those losses as arising in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006. The fund had a deferred loss of $387,000.

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 fund 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 September 30, 2005, the following funds had outstanding when-issued commitments (000):

ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the funds' board of directors as reflecting fair value. Each fund intends to invest no more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and&n bsp;may have contractual restrictions on resale. Certain restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, including Rule 144A securities, are not subject to the limitation on a fund's investment in illiquid securities if they are determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the funds' board of directors. At September 30, 2005, no fund had investments in illiquid securities.

INVERSE FLOATERS – As part of their investment strategy, the funds may invest in certain securities for which the potential income return is inversely related to changes in a floating interest rate ("inverse floaters"). In general, income on inverse floaters will decrease when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Inverse floaters may be characterized as derivative securities and may subject a fund to the risks of reduced or eliminated interest payments and losses of invested principal. In addition, inverse floaters have the effect of providing investment leverage and, as a result, the market value of such securities will generally be more volatile than that of fixed-rate, tax-exempt securities. To the extent the funds invest in inverse floaters, the net asset value of the funds' shares may be more volatile than if the funds did not invest in such securities. At September 30, 2005, no fund had investments in inverse floaters.

EXPENSES – Expenses that are directly related to one of the funds are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are generally allocated to the funds on the basis of relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds. Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees are borne by that class. Income, other expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of a fund are allocated to each respective class in proportion to the relative net assets of each class.

INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM – Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds, along with other registered investment companies in the First American Family of Funds, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. The funds did not have any interfund lending transactions during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN – Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), non-interested directors of the First American Family of Funds may participate and elect to defer receipt of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of selected open-end First American Funds as designated by the board of directors. All amounts in the Plan are 100% vested and accounts under the Plan are obligations of the funds. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 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.

3 >  Fees and Expenses

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement"), U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM"), a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), manages each fund's assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research, and personnel. The Agreement requires each fund to pay USBAM a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. The annual fee for each fund is 0.50%. USBAM has agreed to waive fees and reimburse other fund expenses through June 30, 2006, so that total fund operating

The funds may invest in related money market funds that are series of First American Funds, Inc. ("FAF"), subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to USBAM, which acts as the investment advisor to both the investing funds and the related money market funds, USBAM will reimburse each investing fund an amount equal to that portion of USBAM's investment advisory fee received from the related money market funds that is attributable to the assets of the investing fund. For financial statement purposes, these reimbursements are recorded as investment income.

ADMINISTRATION FEES – Effective July 1, 2005, USBAM serves as the funds' administrator pursuant to an administration agreement between USBAM and the funds. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC ("USBFS") serves as sub-administrator pursuant to a sub-administration agreement between USBFS and USBAM. Both U.S. Bank and USBFS are direct subsidiaries of U.S. Bancorp. Under the administration agreement, USBAM is compensated to provide, or compensates other entities to provide, services to the funds. These services include various legal, oversight and administrative services and accounting services. Effective July 1, 2005, the funds pay USBAM administration fees, which are calculated daily and paid monthly, equal to each fund's pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.15% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds, up to $8 billion, 0.135% on the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.12% on the next $25 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.10% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. All fees paid to the sub-administrator are paid from the administration fee. In addition to these fees, the funds may reimburse USBAM and, indirectly, the sub-administrator for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing administration services.

Prior to July 1, 2005, USBAM and USBFS served as "co-administrators" pursuant to a co-administration agreement between the co-administrators and the funds. The funds paid the administration fees to the co-administrators, which were calculated daily and paid monthly, equal to each fund's pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds, up to $8 billion, 0.235% of the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.22% of the next $25 billion of the aggregate daily net assets, and 0.20% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. In addition, the funds paid transfer agent fees under the co-administration agreement of $18,500 per share class plus additional per account fees. In addition to these fees, the funds reimbu rsed the co-administrators for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing administration services.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, administration fees paid to USBAM and USBFS by the funds included in this annual report were as follows (000):

TRANSFER AGENT FEES – Effective July 1, 2005, USBFS serves as the funds' transfer agent pursuant to a transfer agent and shareholder servicing agreement with FAIF. FAIF pays transfer agent fees of $18,500 per share class and additional per account fees for transfer agent services. These fees are allocated to each fund based upon the fund's pro rata share of the aggregate average daily net assets of the funds that comprise FAIF. Under the new transfer agent and shareholder servicing agreement, FAIF also pays USBFS a fee equal, on an annual basis, to 0.10% of each fund's

average daily net assets. This fee compensates USBFS for providing certain shareholder services and reimburses USBFS for its payments to financial institutions that establish and maintain omnibus accounts and provide customary services for such accounts. In addition to these fees, the funds reimburse USBFS for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services. Prior to July 1, 2005, these services were provided by USBFS pursuant to the co-administration agreement.

The Arizona Tax Free Fund, California Intermediate Tax Free Fund, California Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Colorado Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, Missouri Tax Free Fund, Nebraska Tax Free Fund, Ohio Tax Free Fund, and Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund invest in debt instruments of municipal issuers in specific states. Although these funds monitor investment concentration, the issuers' ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in the specific state or region. Additionally, each state has various guidelines relating to the tax treatment of the income distributed from each fund.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Board of Directors of the funds (the "Board"), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, oversees the management of each fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the funds' advisory agreement with U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM").

At a meeting on May 3-5 2005, the Board considered information relating to the funds' investment advisory agreement with USBAM (the "Agreement"). In advance of the meeting, the Board received materials relating to the Agreement, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. At a subsequent meeting on June 20-22, 2005, the Board concluded its consideration of and approved the Agreement through June 30, 2006.

Although the Agreement, which is with First American Investment Funds, Inc., relates to all of the funds, the Board separately considered and approved the Agreement with respect to each fund. In considering the Agreement, the Board, advised by independent legal counsel, reviewed and considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality, and extent of USBAM's services to the fund, (2) the investment performance of the fund, (3) the profitability of USBAM related to the fund, including an analysis of USBAM's cost of providing services and comparative expense information, (4) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the fund grows and whether fee levels are adjusted to enable fund investors to share in these economies of scale, and (5) other benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the funds. In its deliberations, the Board di d not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board's decision to approve the Agreement.

Before approving the Agreement, the Board met in executive session with its independent counsel on numerous occasions to consider the materials provided by USBAM and the terms of the Agreement. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board concluded that the Agreement is fair and in the best interests of the shareholders of each fund. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered the following:

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Investment Advisory Services

The Board examined the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided by USBAM to each fund. The Board reviewed USBAM's key personnel who provide investment management services to each fund as well as the fact that, under the Agreement, USBAM has the authority and responsibility to make and execute investment decisions for each fund within the framework of that fund's investment policies and restrictions, subject to review by the Board. The Board further considered that USBAM's duties with respect to each fund include (i) investment research and security selection, (ii) adherence to (and monitoring compliance with) the fund's investment policies and restrictions and the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (iii) monitoring the performance of the various organizations providing services to the fund, including the fund's distributor, sub-administrator, transfer agent, and custodian. Fin ally, the Board considered USBAM's representation that the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement are the type of services customarily provided by investment advisors in the fund industry.

The Board also considered compliance reports about USBAM from the fund's Chief Compliance Officer.

Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that each fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Funds

The Board considered the performance of each fund, as summarized below, including how the fund performed versus the median performance of a group of comparable funds selected by an independent data service (the "performance universe") and how the fund performed versus its benchmark index. The performance periods reviewed by the Board all ended on February 28, 2005. In the case of each of the state-specific funds, the Board considered that fund's benchmark index is a national municipal index, rather than a state-specific index, and noted USBAM's assertion that the Board should place more weight on the fund's performance compared to its performance universe.

Arizona Tax Free Fund. The fund significantly outperformed its performance universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The fund also outperformed its benchmark index for the three- and five-year periods (although it underperformed the index

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

128

for the one-year period). The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe and its long-term out-performance of its benchmark, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

California Intermediate Tax Free Fund. The fund significantly outperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the one-year period. For the three- and five-year periods, the fund outperformed its performance universe, but underperformed its benchmark index. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe and its recent out-performance of the benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

California Tax Free Fund. The fund outperformed its performance universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The fund's Class Y shares also outperformed the benchmark index for each of these periods; the fund's Class A shares outperformed the benchmark index for the five-year period. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe and its long-term out-performance of the benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Colorado Tax Free Fund. The fund's performance was comparable to or better than that of its performance universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. Also, the fund outperformed its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods (although it underperformed its benchmark index for the one-year period). The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe and its long-term out-performance of the benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund. The fund significantly outperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the one-year period. For the three-, five-, and ten-year periods, the fund outperformed its performance universe, but underperformed its benchmark index. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe and its recent out-performance of the benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Intermediate Tax Free Fund. The fund significantly outperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the one-year period. For the three-, five-, and ten-year periods, the fund outperformed its performance universe, but underperformed its benchmark index. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe and its recent out-performance of the benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Minnesota Tax Free Fund. The fund significantly outperformed its performance universe for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, although it underperformed its benchmark index for each of those periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund. The fund significantly outperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the one-year period. For the three-, five-, and ten-year periods, the fund outperformed its performance universe, but underperformed its benchmark index. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe and its recent out-performance of the benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Missouri Tax Free Fund. The fund's performance was slightly below that of its performance universe for the one-year period. For the three- and five-year periods, Class Y shares outperformed the performance universe and Class A shares underperformed, whereas for the ten-year period, both share classes outperformed the performance universe. The fund underperformed its benchmark index for each of the periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's longer-term competitive performance compared to the fund's performance universe, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Nebraska Tax Free Fund. The fund outperformed its performance universe for the one- and three-year periods. The fund underperformed its benchmark for the one-year period. For the three-year period, the fund's Class Y shares outperformed the

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

129

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS September 30, 2005 (unaudited)

benchmark and Class A shares underperformed the benchmark. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Ohio Tax Free Fund. The fund commenced operations in April 2002. For the one-year period, the fund underperformed its benchmark index. For the period since inception, Class Y share performance was in line with the benchmark, while Class A share performance was below that of the benchmark. Class Y share performance was equal to that of the performance universe for the one-year period, while Class A shares underperformed. The Board noted USBAM's assertion that interest rates at the time the fund commenced operations precluded the fund from benefiting from pre-refundings that occurred at that time. USBAM also explained that the fund's performance had been adversely affected by the difficulty of obtaining lower investment grade issues, which have generally ou tperformed since the fund's inception. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's fairly short operating history and its generally competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement and to continue to monitor the development of the fund's performance record.

Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund. The fund outperformed its performance universe for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. For each of these periods, the fund underperformed its benchmark index. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Short Tax Free Fund. The fund performed in line with its benchmark index for the period since the fund's inception in October 2002 through February 28, 2005. For the one-year period ended February 28, 2005, the fund underperformed both its performance universe and its benchmark. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's competitive performance since inception as compared to that of its benchmark, and the fund's fairly limited performance history, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement and to continue to monitor the development of the fund's performance record.

Tax Free Fund. The fund significantly outperformed its performance universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The fund outperformed its benchmark for the three-year period (although it underperformed its benchmark for the one- and five-year periods). The Board concluded that, in light of the fund's strong performance compared to the fund's performance universe and its three-year out-performance of the benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by USBAM

The Board reviewed USBAM's estimated costs in serving as the funds' investment manager, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage each fund. The Board also considered the reported profitability of USBAM and its affiliates resulting from their relationship with each fund. For each fund, the Board reviewed fee and expense information as compared to that of other funds and accounts managed by USBAM and of comparable funds managed by other advisers. The Board found that while the advisory fees for USBAM's institutional separate accounts are lower than the funds' advisory fees, the funds receive additional services from USBAM that separate accounts do not receive.

Using information provided by an independent data service, the Board also evaluated each fund's advisory fee compared to the median advisory fee for other mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy, and each fund's expense ratio after waivers compared to the median expense ratio, after waivers, of comparable funds. In connection with its review of fund fees and expenses, the Board asked USBAM to articulate its pricing philosophy. USBAM responded that it attempts generally to maintain each fund's total operating expenses at a level that approximates its peer group median expense ratio. In addition, USBAM committed to waive its investment advisory fees to the extent necessary to maintain the funds' total expense ratios at levels generally in line with their respective peer groups. The Board concluded that USBAM's pricing philosophy is a reasonable one.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the advisory fees and expense ratios of each fund is set forth below:

Arizona Tax Free Fund, California Tax Free Fund, Colorado Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, Missouri Tax Free Fund, Nebraska Tax Free Fund, Ohio Tax Tree Fund, and Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund. For

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

130

each of the foregoing funds, the fund's contractual advisory fee was equal or nearly equal to the peer group median advisory fee and, on an after waivers basis, the fund's advisory fee was lower than the peer group median. Furthermore, each of the foregoing funds had a total expense ratio after waivers that was lower than the peer group median expense ratio, except that the total expense ratios for Minnesota Tax Free Fund and Missouri Tax Free Fund were slightly higher than the peer group median expense ratio.

California Intermediate Tax Free Fund. The fund's advisory fee, both before and after waivers, was slightly higher than the peer group median, as was the fund's total expense ratio after waivers.

Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund. The fund's contractual advisory fee was equal to the peer group median advisory fee. On an after waivers basis, the fund's advisory fee and the peer group's advisory fee were nearly the same. Furthermore, the fund's total expense ratio after waivers was equal to the peer group median.

Short Tax Free Fund. The fund's advisory fee, after waivers, was slightly lower than the peer group median (although, on a contractual basis, it was slightly higher than the peer group median advisory fee). The fund's total expense ratio after waivers was slightly lower than the peer group median.

Tax Free Fund. The fund's advisory fee was slightly higher than the peer group median on a contractual basis, and nearly the same as the peer group median on an after waivers basis. The fund had a total expense ratio after waivers that was slightly higher than the peer group median

As noted above, in most cases the funds' advisory fees and expense ratios were lower than those of the respective peer group. In those instances where fees and expenses were slightly higher, the Board noted that they were nevertheless in a range consistent with USBAM's pricing philosophy. The Board concluded that the funds' advisory fees and expense ratios are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Economies of Scale in Providing Investment Advisory Services

The Board considered the extent to which each fund's investment advisory fee reflects economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Based on information provided by USBAM, the Board noted that profitability will likely increase somewhat as assets grow over time. The Board considered that, although the funds do not have advisory fee breakpoints in place, USBAM has committed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary to keep each fund's total expenses generally in line with the median total expenses of a peer group of funds as selected by an independent data service. The median total expense ratio of a fund's peer group will necessarily reflect the effect of any breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules of the funds in that group. Therefore, by capping a fund's total expense ratio at a level close to the median, fund shareholders will effectively receive the benefit of any breakpoints in the comparable funds' advisory fee schedules. In light of USBAM's commitment to keep total fund expenses competitive, the Board concluded that it would be reasonable and in the best interest of each fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Other Benefits to USBAM

In evaluating the benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the funds, the Board noted that USBAM and certain of its affiliates serve the funds in various capacities, including as advisor, administrator, sub-administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian, and securities lending agent, and receive compensation from the funds in connection with providing services to the funds. The Board considered that each service provided to the funds by USBAM or one of its affiliates is pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically as required by law.

After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that approval of the Agreement was in the best interest of each fund and its shareholders.

First American Stock Funds

Stocks are shares of ownership that a company sells in order to raise money to run its business. As an owner or shareholder, you take part in the company’s achievements and failures.

Stocks and stock funds offer you a number of options. Some are defined by the size of the companies they invest in, some by the style of the company, and others by where they invest – by geographic location or by industry. Because the various types of stocks outperform and underperform at different times, dividing your money among several types may help smooth out your portfolio’s returns.

Real Estate Securities fund

Investment Objective: to provide above-average current income and long-term capital appreciation

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Real Estate Securities Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 29.25% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 28.99% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International U.S. Real Estate Investment Trust Index* ("MSCI U.S. REIT Index*"), returned 27.10% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

During the fiscal year, sustained employment growth improved the outlook for most commercial property types.

Occupancy levels rose, which should lead to rent growth and improved earnings outlook for the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector.

What worked for the fund and why?

The fund benefited from strong individual stock selection. The portfolio had a definite bias toward growth and quality, and continued to adhere to a bottom-up approach (with focus on individual stocks rather than economic or market cycles) to temper volatility in the REIT market. An emphasis on coastal markets, which experienced better job growth and better supply and demand dynamics, proved beneficial. The fund's best-performing sectors were office, healthcare (due to an underweight), specialty, and diversified.

What did not work for the fund and why?

In what was another year of strong performance for the REIT sector, even an average cash position of 2% was detrimental to the fund's performance. A hotel stock, Great Wolf Resorts, had significant negative performance on weak second-quarter results and forward guidance.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

The fund's emphasis on coastal markets was a successful strategy. The fund was overweight in the hotel sector and industrial sector, given increased employment, sustained GDP growth, and favorable supply/demand characteristics. The fund was underweight in the healthcare sector due to its more bond-like characteristics and the potential for rising interest rates.

*Unlike mutual funds, index returns do not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects.

Value of a $10,000 Investment^1,3as of September 30, 2005

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in the index is not available.

Sector funds such as the First American Real Estate Securities Fund are more vulnerable to price fluctuation as a result of events that may affect the industry in which they focus than are funds that invest in multiple industries. Share prices of sector funds also will fluctuate with changing market conditions, as will share prices of other stock funds. Sector funds should not be treated as a core investment; rather, their role is to round out the growth portion of a well-diversified investment portfolio.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares in the first year, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

²  An unmanaged index of the most actively traded real estate investment trusts.

³  Performance for Class B, Class C, and Class R shares is not presented. Performance for these classes will vary due to different expense structures.

The chart above illustrates the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares (from 9/30/95 to 9/30/05) as compared to the MSCI U.S. REIT Index².

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Real Estate Securities Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

¹Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio for the most recent six-month period of 1.24%, 1.99%, 1.99%, 1.49% and 0.99% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

²Based on the actual returns for the six months ended September 30, 2005: 17.77% for Class A, 17.29% for Class B, 17.28% for Class C, 17.60% for Class R and 17.87% for Class Y.

³Prior to July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses was 1.23%, 1.98%, 1.98%, 1.48% and 0.98% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y, respectively. Effective July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses for each class was removed. If this limitation had not been in place during the entire period, actual and hypothetical ending account balances would have been approximately $1,177.58 and $1,018.75 for Class A, $1,172.77 and $1,014.99 for Class B, $1,172.67 and $1,014.99 for Class C, $1,175.87 and $1,017.48 for Class R, and $1,178.57 and $1,020.00 for Class Y and actual and hypothetical expenses paid during the period would have been approximately $6.88 and $6.38 for Class A, $10.95 and $10.15 for Class B, $10.95 and $10.16 for Class C, $8.26 and $7.66 for Class R and $5.52 and $5.12 for Class Y.

International fund

Investment Objective: long-term growth of capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American International Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 21.12% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 20.80% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe and Australasia, Far East Equity Index* ("MSCI EAFE Index*"), returned 26.32% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

For the year ending September 30, 2005, equity markets posted extremely attractive returns. International stocks continued to outpace the United States. This strong return reflects both attractive earnings numbers and continued productivity gains. Global growth, driven in large part by Asia, also had a positive effect on performance.

What worked for the fund and why?

Stock selection has been the primary source of performance. The portfolio benefited from holdings in emerging markets, Japan, and the Pacific-Rim. From a sector perspective, energy, telecommunications, and information technology added the most value.

Within the energy sector our two largest positions, Total (French oil company) and ENI (Italian oil and gas producer), contributed positively to performance. Both companies reaped benefits from higher oil prices and remain attractively valued.

Opportunistic exposure to emerging markets proved advantageous, with emerging equities outpacing the developed markets. In particular, our position in CVRD, the Brazilian iron ore producer, proved beneficial, with continued demand for iron ore leading to a very strong pricing environment.

What did not work for the fund and why?

While the portfolio achieved a very attractive absolute return, the fund did lag the benchmark. In a market that, during the period, was dominated by small-cap and value stocks, the portfolio's slight bias toward large capitalization, quality, and growth style was the main cause of underperformance.

At a regional level, stock selection in the United Kingdom was difficult. U.K. consumer stocks – for example, William Morrison (food retailer) and Kingfisher (home improvement retailer) – were affected by negative U.K. consumer sentiment in the wake of rising interest rates. Both companies, however, remain attractively valued. At the sector level, industrials, consumer discretionary, and healthcare held back performance.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

The fund was positioned to focus on larger-capitalization companies growing at a faster pace than their peers yet more attractively priced. In keeping with this general orientation, we reduced a number of holdings in the portfolio. The valuation of small-cap stocks currently looks stretched in relation to their large-cap peers, so a future correction of that valuation is likely to add luster to large-caps.

Value of a $10,000 Investment^1,3as of September 30, 2005

The chart above illustrates the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares (from 9/30/95 to 9/30/05) as compared to the MSCI EAFE Index².

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in the index is not available.

International investing involves risks not typically associated with domestic investing, including risks of adverse currency fluctuations, potential political and economic instability, different accounting standards, foreign government regulations, currency exchange rates, limited liquidity, and volatile prices.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares in the first year, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Effective December 8, 2004, J.P. Morgan was named the fund's subadvisor and began managing the fund's assets.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the International Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

¹Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio for the most recent six-month period of 1.56%, 2.31%, 2.31%, 1.81%, and 1.31% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

²Based on the actual returns for the six months ended September 30, 2005: 8.13% for Class A, 7.71% for Class B, 7.64% for Class C, 7.89% for Class R and 8.21% for Class Y.

³Prior to July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses was 1.60%, 2.35%, 2.35%, 1.85% and 1.35% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y, respectively. Effective July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses was lowered to 1.52%, 2.27%, 2.27%, 1.77%, and 1.27% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y, respectively. If this new limitation had been in place during the entire period, actual and hypothetical ending account balances would have been approximately $1,081.51 and $1,017.45 for Class A, $1,077.31 and $1,013.69 for Class B, $1,076.61 and $1,013.69 for Class C, $1,079.11 and $1,016.19 for Class R, and $1,082.31 and $1,018.70 for Class Y and actual and hypothetical expenses paid during the period would have been approximately $7.93 and $7.69 for Class A, $11.82 and $11.46 for Class B, $11.82 and $11.46 for Class C, $9.22 and $8.95 for Class R and $6.63 and $6.43 for Class Y.

Small Cap Growth Opportunities fund

Investment Objective: growth of capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 24.47% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 24.21% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index*, returned 17.97% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

During most of the fiscal year – except toward the end – the market generally favored small-cap companies, because of stronger-than-expected consumer spending (despite rising gas prices) and readily available financing for small-cap company growth. However, in an economic environment of growing uncertainty, like that produced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, smaller companies tend to look riskier to investors and potential creditors. Furthermore, while a year ago the valuations for small caps were cheap relative to their mid- and large-cap counterparts, this gap has closed somewhat because of small caps' strong performance.

What worked for the fund and why?

Technology was the largest contributor to performance, due to both stock selection and an overweight position in the sector. Favorable supply and demand characteristics fueled the performance of energy stocks in the portfolio, and unflagging consumer spending benefited the consumer discretionary sector.

The fund's best performing stock was Energy Conversion, developer of solar cells and hybrid vehicle technology. The company's stock was buoyed by the changing investor attitudes toward alternative energy solutions, which no longer appear cost-prohibitive in view of rising oil prices. In the consumer sector, upscale restaurant chains Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang's, and Cosi added value. We believe that demand for upscale dining is less impacted by rising energy prices as higher-income consumers view dining out as a staple, rather than luxury item. Lottery businesses also performed well, as lottery play is largely unaffected by fluctuations in disposable income.

What did not work for the fund and why?

Returns from the fund's healthcare sector lagged those of the Russell 2000 Growth benchmark, led by Xenogen, which sells products that increase the efficiency and productivity of drug discovery. Investor concerns include potential additional funding requirements and questions over the ultimate timing of profitability, despite the company's strong revenue growth and capable management team.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

During the latter part of the fiscal year, we began reducing the fund's energy positions, as solid fundamentals became fully reflected in stock prices. Consumer stocks remain a focus for us, although we are levered primarily to the upper-income consumer. We remain heavily weighted in technology shares, as valuations are attractive and the companies benefit from strong secular trends. We continue to maintain small underweight positions in healthcare and financials, as valuations in those sectors seem fairly priced.

The chart above illustrates the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares (from 10/31/95 to 9/30/05) as compared to the Russell 2000 Growth Index².

Stocks of small-capitalization companies involve substantial risk. These stocks historically have experienced greater price volatility than stocks of larger companies, and they may be expected to do so in the future.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares in the first year, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

On December 12, 2002, the fund changed its main investment strategy such that it was permitted to invest in securities of companies with market capitalizations within the range of companies in the Russell 2000 Index. Previously, the fund invested primarily in companies with market capitalizations of below $500 million at the time of purchase.

On September 24, 2001, the First American Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund became the successor by merger to the Firstar MicroCap Fund, a series of Firstar Funds, Inc. Prior to the merger, the First American fund had no assets or liabilities. Performance presented prior to September 24, 2001, represents that of the Firstar MicroCap Fund.

The First American Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund's 1999 returns were higher due in substantial part to its strategy of investing in IPOs in a period favorable for IPO investing. Of course, such favorable returns involve accepting the risk of volatility, and there is no assurance that the fund's future investment in IPOs will have the same effect on performance as it did in 1999.

Small Cap Select fund

Investment Objective: capital appreciation

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Small Cap Select Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 20.73% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 20.46% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index*, returned 17.95% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

Furthermore, while a year ago the valuations for small caps were cheap relative to their mid- and large-cap counterparts, this gap has closed somewhat because of small caps' strong performance.

What worked for the fund and why?

Good stock selection was the driver of fund performance relative to its index for the fiscal year. Stock selection in the healthcare, technology, and industrial sectors was especially good, with each sector adding more than 100 basis points in relative performance. Stock selection was lead by Renal Care Group (a dialysis provider) in the healthcare sector, Logitech International (a hardware manufacturer) in the technology sector, and Chicago Bridge and Iron in the industrial sector. Chicago Bridge and Iron specializes in engineering and construction of refineries and saw demand for its services skyrocket in the current environment of surging energy demand.

What did not work for the fund and why?

The only sector with meaningful underperformance relative to the index was materials. Century Aluminum (an aluminum manufacturer) was the primary culprit in the sector as aluminum prices never saw the strength of some of the other commodity prices like steel. Also, the fact that the fund was underweight in steel stocks over the course of the fiscal year added to weakness in the sectors results. In the financial sector, Investors Financial Services Corp, a bank holding company, saw its shares drop after the firm provided guidance significantly below street expectations primarily due to a flattening yield curve.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Relative to the index, the fund keeps its sector weights fairly neutral, allowing stock selection to drive portfolio performance. The fund has trimmed its position in Chicago Bridge and Iron and AirTran as these stocks have hit our price targets. We sold our holdings in Investors Financial Services since we believe their operating performance will take a number of quarters to regain its momentum.

Value of $10,000 Investment^1,3as of September 30, 2005

The chart above illustrates the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares (from 11/30/95 to 9/30/05) as compared to the Russell 2000 Index².

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in an index is not available.

Stocks of small-capitalization companies involve substantial risk. These stocks historically have experienced greater price volatility than stocks of larger companies, and they may be expected to do so in the future.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares in the first year, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Small Cap Select Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

²Based on the actual returns for the six months ended September 30, 2005: 11.57% for Class A, 11.09% for Class B, 11.13% for Class C, 11.40% for Class R and 11.66% for Class Y.

³Prior to July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses was 1.21%, 1.96%, 1.96%, 1.46% and 0.96% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y, respectively. Effective July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses for each class was removed. If this limitation had not been in place during the entire period, actual and hypothetical ending account balances would have been approximately $1,115.59 and $1,018.79 for Class A, $1,110.79 and $1,015.04 for Class B, $1,111.19 and $1,015.03 for Class C, $1,113.93 and $1,017.44 for Class R, and $1,116.49 and $1,020.05 for Class Y and actual and hypothetical expenses paid during the period would have been approximately $6.64 and $6.33 for Class A, $10.59 and $10.11 for Class B, $10.59 and $10.11 for Class C, $8.06 and $7.69 for Class R and $5.31 and $5.07 for Class Y.

Small Cap Value fund

Investment Objective: capital appreciation

Recent changes to the fund:

Effective July 25, 2005, the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the management of the fund have changed. See additional details in the front of this report.

How did the Fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Small Cap Value Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 17.08% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 16.78% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index*, returned 17.75% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

During most of the fiscal year – except toward the end – the market generally favored small-cap companies because of stronger-than-expected consumer spending (despite rising gas prices) and readily available financing for small-cap company growth. However, in an economic environment of growing uncertainty, like that produced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, smaller companies tend to look riskier to investors and potential creditors. Furthermore, while a year ago the valuations for small caps were cheap relative to their mid- and large-cap counterparts, this gap has closed somewhat because of small caps' strong performance.

What worked for the fund and why?

The fund's overweight in the energy sector benefited the portfolio because of the favorable supply and demand characteristics in the energy market and the resulting rise in energy prices. Healthcare and utilities were strong performers, and an overweight in materials also added value, especially the initial upward pricing in chemicals and the demand for those goods from overseas.

Among individual stocks, CNS, a manufacturer of health and personal care products, proved a true value gem, with a steep rise in sales and profitability, driven by the launch of new products and international expansion. In the energy sector, TODCO, a leading provider of contract oil and gas drilling services, benefited from demand-driven increase in drilling requests and needs. And in technology, NETGEAR, a developer of networking products for small business and home users, enjoyed revenue growth of more than 20%, with healthy profit margins and improving cash flow management.

What did not work for the fund and why?

With the pressure of rising interest rates and commodity costs on consumers' wallets and the squeeze on margins for small industrial players, both the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors underperformed the index. Adverse stock selection in several different sectors also detracted from performance. GrafTech, a manufacturer of carbon and graphite products, saw declining revenue due to pricing pressure and lower-than-expected sales. A chemical stock, Georgia Gulf Corp., was hurt by lower prices in the PVC plastic market, led by overseas PVC price declines on rising capacity in Asia. And NCO Group, a debt-collection firm, saw a rising number of new competitors, which caused investor concerns about margin opportunities and growth, hurting the stock performance.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Having benefited from last year's move to an overweight position in the energy sector, we began reducing that overweight based on valuations, which reached our target. At the same time, we increased the fund's technology weighting based on historically more reasonable values and better earnings growth outlook.

Small-Mid Cap Core fund (formerly Technology Fund)

Investment Objective: long-term growth of capital

Recent changes to the fund:

On October 3, 2005, the fund's name was changed from the First American Technology Fund to the First American Small-Mid Cap Core Fund (the "fund"), and a new investment strategy was implemented. The fund no longer concentrates its investments solely in the technology sector, although it may continue to make investments in that sector. Instead, the fund now invests primarily in common stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies. These companies are defined as companies having market capitalizations within the range of market capitalizations of companies constituting the Russell 2500 Index. The discussion below relates to the fund's performance before these changes were implemented, when the fund operated as a technology fund.

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The fund's Class Y shares, returned 12.66% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 12.30% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark during the fiscal year, the Merrill Lynch 100 Technology Index*, returned 20.42% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

What worked for the fund and why?

To a limited extent, the fund benefited from good stock selection. Among the standout performers were NETGEAR (networking solutions for home and business users), aQuantive (digital marketing), Concord Communications (business software service management and application performance management), and Synaptics (custom-designed user interface solutions for mobile computing, communications and entertainment devices).

What did not work for the fund and why?

Poor sector allocation was the primary reason for the fund's underperformance relative to the index. Having adopted a fairly defensive portfolio strategy, the fund held an overweight in aerospace and defense stocks and an underweight in technology. The overall effect of these allocations was detrimental to the fund's performance, since the technology sector, benefiting from solid economic growth, produced strong results during the fiscal year.

Adverse stock selection also detracted from performance. The fund was underweight in Autodesk, a supplier of advanced PC design tools, and Corning, a diversified technology company, at the time when both companies recorded strong revenues. The fund was also hurt by not owning certain other strong-performing stocks. Among such missed opportunities were graphic chipmaker nVidia and data storage card company Sandisk, both of which posted strong results, as well as National Semiconductor, its earnings reflecting increased demand for semiconductor products.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Continuing last year's defensive strategy relative to technology stocks, the fund allocated a large portion of the portfolio to stocks not associated with the technology market. This approach did not, however, achieve positive results, as technology stocks enjoyed generally strong performance this fiscal year, benefiting from solid economic growth.

Value of a $10,000 Investment^1,3as of September 30, 2005

The chart above illustrates the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares (from 9/30/95 to 9/30/05) as compared to the Merrill Lynch 100 Technology Index².

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in the index is not available.

Investments in the First American Technology Fund are more vulnerable to price fluctuation as a result of the narrow focus of technology investing and the fact that the products of companies in which the fund invests may be subject to rapid obsolescence.

Effective October 3, 2005, the fund's investment strategy changed. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies involve substantial risk and may be subject to increased volatility and more price fluctuation than large-capitalization companies.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares in the first year, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

The Technology Fund's 1999 returns were higher due in part to its strategy of investing in IPOs and technology-related stocks in a period favorable for IPO and technology stock investing. Of course, such favorable returns involve accepting the risk of volatility, and there is no assurance that the fund's future investment in IPOs and technology stocks will have the same effect on performance as it did in 1999.

Small-Mid Cap Core fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Small-Mid Cap Core Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

¹Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio for the most recent six-month period of 1.63%, 2.39%, 2.39% and 1.37% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

²Based on the actual returns for the six months ended September 30, 2005: 7.23% for Class A, 6.87% for Class B, 6.98% for Class C, and 7.47% for Class Y.

³Prior to July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses was 1.23%, 1.98%, 1.98% and 0.98% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y, respectively. Effective July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses for each class was removed. If this limitation had not been in place during the entire period, actual and hypothetical ending account balances would have been approximately $1,071.82 and $1,016.43 for Class A, $1,068.23 and $1,012.63 for Class B, $1,069.32 and $1,012.62 for Class C, and $1,074.21 and $1,017.72 for Class Y and actual and hypothetical expenses paid during the period would have been approximately $8.95 and $8.71 for Class A, $12.86 and $12.51 for Class B , $12.89 and $12.53 for Class C, and $7.63 and $7.42 for Class Y.

Mid Cap Growth Opportunities fund

Investment Objective: capital appreciation

Recent changes to the fund:

Effective September 8, 2005, the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the management of the fund have changed. See additional details in the front of this report.

How did the Fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 26.57% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 26.25% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index*, returned 23.47% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Energy was one of the dominant economic considerations throughout the year, and it had a meaningful bearing on the fund's strategy and a positive effect on its performance. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

What worked for the fund and why?

The fund's outperformance relative to the index was in large measure a result of good stock selection in the consumer discretionary, information technology, and healthcare sectors. An overweight in the energy sector also added value, as energy stock prices continued to rise, propelled by unflagging demand for energy and soaring commodity prices. In the consumer discretionary space the top performers were women's clothier Chicos, leisure company Marvel Entertainment (benefiting from various licensing initiatives), and Scientific Games Corp., a service and systems provider for lottery and wagering industries. The technology sector saw gains by Apple Computer, whose profits rose steadily thanks in part to the success of its iPod digital player and iTunes music store. MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc., a supplier of silicone and other semiconductor-grade wafers, also added value. In healthcare, the best-perfo rming stocks belonged to insurers Aetna and Pacificare, as well as pharmacy benefits manager Caremark.

What did not work for the fund and why?

The fund's underweight in the utilities and telecommunications services detracted somewhat form performance. Adverse stock selection in the financial sector also had a negative impact on performance: Investors Financial Services Corp., a service provider for a variety of asset managers, saw its stock price decline following lower-than-expected earnings.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Having benefited from last year's move to an overweight position in the energy sector, we then took a more defensive approach and began reducing that overweight, based on valuations, which reached our target price.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Effective July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses for each class was removed.

Mid Cap Value fund

Investment Objective: capital appreciation

How did the Fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Mid Cap Value Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 24.68% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 24.38% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index*, returned 26.13% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

What worked for the fund and why?

The fund benefited from strong performance in the financials, industrials, energy, and utilities sectors. Strong energy demand boosted the results of the companies involved in oil services and exploration and production: National Oilwell Varco, Newfield Exploration, and EOG Resources. In concert with the energy market, several utility stocks also turned in strong performance, notably TXU, a Texas electricity provider, and Constellation Energy Group, a power wholesaler. Joy Global, a mining equipment and service company, was the top contributor to performance across all sectors. Other notable performers included Norfolk Southern, which enjoyed rising revenues during the period, and technology stocks including National Semiconductor and Harris Corp.

What did not work for the fund and why?

Adverse stock selection in the materials sector, coupled with a slight overweight and unfavorable stock selection in the consumer discretionary area, caused the fund to underperform relative to the index. In the materials sector, chemical companies Cytec Industries and Lyondell, specialty packaging producer Pactiv Corp, and paper company MeadWestvaco, performed below expectations. Most of the weak performance for the stocks in the consumer discretionary space occurred during the second half of the fiscal year, mainly due to concerns about higher energy prices and their impact on consumer spending. In this environment, both paint retailer Sherwin-Williams and power tool maker Black & Decker underperformed.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

In terms of sector positioning, the fund ended the fiscal year as it began. Overweights were maintained in the technology and energy sectors as we continued to feel that technology stocks would benefit from a growing economy and that the continuation of high commodity prices, coupled with favorable supply and demand characteristics, would lead to strong performance in the energy sector. We maintained underweights in the financials and utilities sectors based on our belief that these sectors are enjoying peak fundamental conditions and full valuations.

Mid Cap Value fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Mid Cap Value Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Large Cap Growth Opportunities fund

Investment Objective: long-term growth of capital

How did the Fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 12.58% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 12.30% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index*, returned 11.60% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Energy was one of the dominant economic considerations throughout the year, and it had a meaningful bearing on the fund's strategy and a positive effect on its performance. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have increased with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

What worked for the fund and why?

The fund's outperformance relative to the index was in large measure a result of good stock selection in the information technology, healthcare, and consumer discretionary sectors. An overweight in the energy sector also added value, as energy stock prices continued to rise, propelled by unflagging demand for energy and soaring commodity prices. Within the technology sector, the Internet portal Google was a robust performer, continuing to gain market value at a record-breaking pace and quadrupling its share price in the 14 months since going public. NCR Corp., a provider of hardware and software business solutions, was another standout, as was Texas Instruments, its earnings reflecting increased demand for semiconductor products. In healthcare, insurer Aetna and Alcon, a manufacturer of eye-care drugs and d evices, led the way, while in the consumer space, hotel chain Marriott, global information-media services company McGraw-Hill, and women's clothing company Chicos drove performance.

What did not work for the fund and why?

Adverse stock selection in the financials sector detracted from performance relative to the index. Investors Financial Services Corp., a service provider for a variety of asset managers, saw its stock price decline following lower-than-expected earnings. MBNA, a credit card company, also experienced a slump in earnings, reflecting a continued slowdown in the U.S. credit-card business.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

The fund management team gained confidence in specific companies throughout the fiscal year, which led the team to reduce the number of stocks held within the portfolio and increase the weightings of the holdings relative to the fund's benchmark. In its stock selection, the fund continues to focus on companies that demonstrate the potential for sustainable earnings growth.

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds.

Large Cap Select fund

Investment Objective: capital appreciation

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Large Cap Select Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 18.14% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 17.83% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index* ("S&P 500 Composite Index*"), returned 12.25% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

What worked for the fund and why?

Good stock selection across most sectors, as well as overweights in energy and healthcare and underweights in materials and telecommunications services, caused the fund to outperform relative to the index. In the energy sector, where rising prices made for strong profit growth, standout performers – National Oilwell Varco, Amerada Hess, Halliburton, and Conoco – are engaged either in oil and gas exploration or petroleum production and sales, and their strong performance was spurred by growing demand and higher prices. In healthcare, Wyeth, a pharmaceutical company, produced strong results following a turnaround, while in the technology sector Motorola, a mobile phone and semiconductor manufacturer, and NCR Corp., a provider of hardware and software business solutions, were key drivers of performan ce.

What did not work for the fund and why?

The fund was underweight in utilities, which performed better than expected, but this deficiency had a negligible impact on performance since good stock selection in the sector compensated for it.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

The fund adheres closely to the First American Funds signature approach to the stock selection process, whereby fundamental analysts, quantitative analysts, and portfolio managers collaborate closely in making portfolio decisions. Convinced of the effectiveness of this investment process, we trimmed the number of the names in the portfolio as our investment process increased our conviction. We moved to an overweight in the technology sector, based on historically more reasonable values and better earnings growth outlook. Early in the fiscal year we moved the fund to an overweight in the energy sector, taking advantage of the supply/demand imbalance that brought prices higher and generated strong earnings growth; we have now reduced this overweight based on valuations, which reached our target price. We expect to get most of our return through stock selection.

You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Large Cap Value fund

Investment Objective: primary – capital appreciation; secondary – current income

How did the Fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Large Cap Value Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 17.92% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 17.62% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index*, returned 16.69% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

What worked for the fund and why?

Strong performance and good stock selection in the energy, technology, consumer discretionary, and utilities sectors contributed to the fund's outperformance relative to the index. High energy demand, coupled with rising prices, boosted the results of the companies involved in crude oil and natural exploration and production – Conoco Phillips and EOG Resources – as well as those in the oil service industry, like Halliburton and National Oilwell Varco. In the technology sector, strong results from Texas Instruments and National Semiconductor were a reflection of increased demand for a broad range of semiconductor products. NCR Corp., a provider of hardware and software business solutions, and Motorola were also strong performers in the technology sector. In the consumer discretionary sector, high o ccupancy levels driven by increased company travel budgets led to positive results from Hilton Hotels. The fund also benefited from positive performance by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Goldman Sachs, and Phelps Dodge.

What did not work for the fund and why?

Weaker performance in the consumer staples, industrials, and materials sectors detracted from the overall performance of the fund. In the consumer staples area, our lack of exposure to grocery store retailers earlier in the fiscal year proved a missed opportunity, as these stocks traded up on speculation of buyout activity. Clorox and General Mills performed below expectations. In the materials sector, Dow Chemical, as well as Weyerhauser and MeadWestvaco (paper companies), produced disappointing results, as did Tyco and Eaton Corp. in the industrial sector.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

In terms of sector positioning, the fund ended the fiscal year as it began. Overweights were maintained in the technology and energy sectors, as we continued to feel that technology stocks would benefit from a growing economy and that the continuation of high commodity prices, coupled with favorable supply and demand characteristics, would lead to strong performance in the energy sector. We maintained underweights in the financials and utilities sectors based on our belief that these sectors are enjoying peak fundamental conditions and full valuations.

Value of a $10,000 Investment^1,3as of September 30, 2005

The chart above illustrates the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares (from 9/30/95 to 9/30/05) as compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index².

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in the index is not available.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares in the first year, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Large Cap Value Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Balanced fund

Investment Objective: maximize total return (capital appreciation plus income)

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Balanced Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 14.76% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 14.51% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index* and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index*, returned 12.60% and 2.80%, respectively, for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

While the Fed's measured approach to tightening monetary policy helped foster stability in the bond market, it had little effect on long-term rates, which remained low as short-term rates inched higher. As a result, the flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term rates than in long-term rates) made bonds with maturities of 10 years or longer more attractive than their shorter-term counterparts. The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. As a result, high-yield credit enjoyed continued strong performance, though increasingly there have been indications that the credit cycle has passed its peak.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

What worked for the fund and why?

Within the stock portion of the fund, good stock selection across several sectors, as well as overweights in energy and healthcare and underweights in materials and telecommunications services, caused the fund to outperform relative to the index. In the energy sector, where rising prices made for strong profit growth, standout performers – National Oilwell Varco, Amerada Hess, Halliburton, and Conoco Phillips – engaged in oil and gas exploration or petroleum production and sales, and their strong performance was spurred by growing demand and higher prices. In healthcare, Wyeth, a pharmaceutical company, produced strong results following a turnaround, while in the technology sector Motorola and NCR Corp., a provider of hardware and software business solutions, were key drivers of performance.

Within the bond section, the fund's strategic positioning to take advantage of the flattening yield curve was the main driver of performance. Emerging market bonds (issued by national governments) also added value, as did asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.

What did not work for the fund and why?

In the stock portion, the fund was underweight in utilities, which performed better than expected, but this deficiency had negligible impact on performance since good stock selection in the sector compensated for it. In fixed income, periodic underweights in A- and AA-rated corporate bonds dampened performance as credit continued to rally. On the whole, however, this portion of the portfolio also enjoyed very strong performance.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Along with maintaining larger-than-normal allocations to equities generally, and to large-capitalization stocks in particular, we established positions in foreign stocks by investing in Exchange Traded Index Funds midway through the reporting period. These investments, which offer fairly broad diversification across developed and emerging markets, currently amount to approximately 10% of the fund's total equity segment. Added to the portfolio in anticipation of good results due to strong growth and reasonable valuations abroad, this portion of the fund produced strong outperformance against domestic equities in the final quarter of the reporting period.

The fixed-income portion of the portfolio was positioned for the flatter yield curve and was modestly short on duration. Having begun the fiscal year with overweights in lower-grade (BBB) corporate bonds and high-yield bonds, we reduced these positions late in the fiscal year, given the maturing credit cycle and less attractive valuations following a year of strong performance.

Equity Income fund

Investment Objective: long-term growth of capital and income

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Equity Income Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 10.94% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 10.65% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Standard and Poor's 500 Composite Index* ("S&P Composite Index*"), returned 12.25% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The corporate sector of the economy has performed very well in this economic environment, with operating earnings up sharply through the third quarter of 2005. Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

With its emphasis on companies that pay dividends, the fund is generally expected to perform better in down markets and lag the index in up markets, a tendency that was reflected during this fiscal year's strong market environment.

What worked for the fund and why?

The fund benefited from an overweight and good stock selection in the energy sector, where rising commodity prices made for strong profit growth. Standout performers in this sector – Conoco Phillips, Apache Corporation, Halliburton, Kerr McGee, and British Petroleum – are engaged in oil and gas exploration, production, or refining and their strong performance was spurred by growing demand and higher commodity prices. The fund's underweight in the consumer discretionary sector also proved beneficial, since the sector lagged during the year, with a number of stocks weak, discounting investor concerns about a slowdown in consumer spending trends. In addition, stock selection in the healthcare sector had a positive impact on performance: Baxter International, a medical products and services company, M cKesson, a drug distributor, and Wyeth, a pharmaceutical company, posted strong returns on better-than-expected company earnings growth.

What did not work for the fund and why?

The fund's overweight in the materials sector contributed to the fund's underperformance. Particularly disappointing performance came from Bemis, a packaging materials company and DuPont, a paint and chemical coating producer, where earnings results disappointed investors. Stock selection in the utilities space also detracted from fund performance. The fund continued to focus on higher dividend-paying utilities rather than the stronger performing lower-dividend paying companies. Finally, a few individual stocks took their toll on performance, notably insurance broker Marsh & McLennan, which experienced a management turnover and lower earnings as a result of the New York attorney general's investigation into the firm's pricing practices.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Earlier in the fiscal year, we moved the fund to an overweight position in the energy sector, taking advantage of investor pullback from energy stocks and following our conviction that the supply/demand imbalance in the energy market would persist, bringing the prices higher and generating strong earnings growth. We also moved to an overweight in the technology sector, based on historically more reasonable values and better earnings growth outlook. We maintained an underweight in the consumer discretionary space out of concern about a decline in the rate of growth in consumer spending.

Value of a $10,000 Investment^1,3as of September 30, 2005

The chart above illustrates the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares (from 9/30/95 to 9/30/05) as compared to the S&P 500 Composite Index².

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in the index is not available.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares in the first year, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

On May 18, 1994, the Equity Income Fund became the successor by merger to the Boulevard Strategic Balance Fund. Prior to the merger, the First American fund had no assets or liabilities. Performance prior to May 18, 1994, is that of the Boulevard Strategic Balance Fund.

Although the S&P 500 focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with over 80% coverage of U.S. equities, it also serves as a proxy for the total market.

³  Performance for Class B, Class C, and Class R shares is not presented. Performance for these classes will vary due to different expense structures.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Equity Income Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

²Based on the actual returns for the six months ended September 30, 2005: 4.22% for Class A, 3.82% for Class B, 3.81% for Class C, 4.12% for Class R and 4.32% for Class Y.

³Prior to July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses was 1.15%, 1.90%, 1.90%, 1.40% and 0.90% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y, respectively. Effective July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses for each class was removed. If this limitation had not been in place during the entire period, actual and hypothetical ending account balances would have been approximately $1,042.09 and $1,019.06 for Class A, $1,038.09 and $1,015.30 for Class B, $1,037.99 and $1,015.30 for Class C, $1,041.10 and $1,017.82 for Class R, and $1,043.08 and $1,020.32 for Class Y and actual and hypothetical expenses paid during the period would have been approximately $6.13 and $6.06 for Class A, $9.95 and $9.84 for Class B, $9.95 and $9.84 for Class C, $7.40 and $7.32 for Class R and $4.86 and $4.80 for Class Y.

We were not engaged to perform an audit of the funds internal control over financial reporting. Our Audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the funds internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights audited by us as referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds listed above of First American Investment Funds, Inc. at September 30, 2005, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1 >  Organization

The Real Estate Securities Fund, International Fund, Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Small Cap Select Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund (named Technology Fund prior to October 3, 2005), Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Select Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Balanced Fund and Equity Income Fund (each a "fund" and collectively, the "funds") are mutual funds offered by First American Investment Funds, Inc. ("FAIF"), which is a member of the First American Family of Funds. As of September 30, 2005, FAIF offered 38 funds, including the funds listed above. FAIF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. FAIF's articles of incorporation permit the fund's board of directors to create additional funds in the future. Each Fund other than Real Estate Sec urities Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company. The Real Estate Securities Fund is a non-diversified open-end management investment company. Prior to October 3, 2005, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund had different investment strategies, was named Technology Fund and also was non-diversified (see Note 12). Non-diversified funds may invest a large component of their net assets in securities of relatively few issuers.

FAIF offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y shares. Prior to July 1, 2004, Class R shares were named Class S shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for six years and automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for 12 months, and will not convert to Class A shares. Class R shares have no sales charge and are offered only through certain tax-deferred retirement plans. Class Y shares have no sales charge and are offered only to qualifying institutional investors and certain other qualifying accounts. Class R shares are not offered by the Small-Mid Cap Core Fund.

The funds' prospectuses provide descriptions of each fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks. All classes of shares of a fund have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that certain fees, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, may differ among classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights on any matters relating to that class' servicing or distribution arrangements.

On June 22, 2005, the funds' board of directors approved a change in the funds' fiscal year end from September 30 to October 31, effective with the one month period ended October 31, 2005.

2 >  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

SECURITY VALUATIONS – Security valuations for the funds' investments are furnished by one or more independent pricing services that have been approved by the funds' board of directors. Investments in equity securities that 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. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the funds utilize the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask range of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask will be th e closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 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 formula-driven valuation 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. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. 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 funds' board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

the securities are purchased and sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value. The International Fund is supplied with information from an unaffiliated third party with respect to the fair value of foreign securities. Price movements in futures contracts and American Depository Receipts, and various other indices, may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. As of September 30, 2005, Real Estate Securities Fund, International Fund, Small Cap Growt h Opportunities Fund, and Balanced Fund held fair valued securities with a market value of $255,913, $0, $122,540, and $24,215, respectively, or 0.0%, 0.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0% of total net assets, respectively. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities are valued at the closing prices on the principal exchange on which they trade. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Exchange rates are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective net asset value of each underlying fund on the valuation date.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recorded on an 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 – Equity Income Fund and Large Cap Value Fund declare and pay income dividends monthly. Balanced Fund, Large Cap Select Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund declare and pay income dividends quarterly. Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Growth Opportunites Fund, Small Cap Growth Opportunites Fund, Small Cap Select Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund and the International Fund declare and pay income dividends annually. Distributions are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the funds. Any net realized capital gains on sales of a fund's securities are distributed to shareholders at l east annually.

The Real Estate Securities Fund receives substantial distributions from holdings in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"). Distributions from REITs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or a return of capital to the REIT shareholder. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, Real Estate Securities Fund must use estimates in reporting the character of its income and distributions for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to fund shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by a fund shareholder may represent a return of capital.

FEDERAL TAXES – Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to post-October losses, losses deferred due to wash sales, proceeds from securities litigation, book gains recognized from in-kind distributions, foreign currency gains and losses, investments in limited partnerships and REITs, decreases in undistributed amounts due to shareholder redemptions and the "mark-to-market" of certain Passive Foreign Investment Companies ("PFICs") for tax purposes. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, 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. The distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005, and 2004, were characterized as follows (000):

As of September 30, 2005, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows (000):

Equity Income Fund		-		7,683		-			309,284		-			316,967

The difference between book and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and investments in limited partnerships and REITs, and the amount of gain (loss) recognized for tax purposes due to mark to market adjustments on open futures contracts and the mark to market for certain PFICs for tax purposes.

As of September 30, 2005, the following funds had capital loss carryforwards (000):

	Expiration Year

Balanced Fund		-		-		-		-		41		-		41

In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, utilization of all or a portion of the above capital loss carryovers is limited on an annual basis for International Fund, Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Small Cap Select Fund, and Small-Mid Cap Core Fund to (000) $4,046, $24,385, $10,084, $9,721 and $1,524, respectively.

FUTURES TRANSACTIONS – In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market and to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests, certain funds may enter into S&P stock index futures contracts and other stock index futures contracts. The Balanced Fund may also enter into interest rate index futures contracts.

Upon entering into a futures or currency contract, the fund is required to deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government securities in an amount equal to five percent of the purchase price indicated in the futures or currency contract (initial margin). Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or securities, are made or received by the fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain (loss) equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the fund's basis in the contract.

Risks of entering into futures contracts, in general, include the possibility that there will not be a perfect price correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist, resulting in an inability to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that a fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. These

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

113

Notes to Financial StatementsSeptember 30, 2005

contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the fund's statement of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains (losses) on outstanding positions in futures contracts held at the close of the year will be recognized as capital gains (losses) for federal income tax purposes.

OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS – The funds may utilize options in an attempt to manage market or business risk or enhance their yield. When a call or put option is written, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. The liability is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a written option expires, a gain is realized in the amount of the premium originally received. If a closing purchase contract is entered into, a gain or loss is realized in the amount of the original premium less the cost of the closing transaction. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a writte n put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which is purchased upon exercise of the option.

Purchased options are recorded as investments and marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option contract. If a purchased option expires, a loss is realized in the amount of the cost of the option. If a closing transaction is entered into, a gain or loss is realized, to the extent that the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security by adjusting the proceeds from such sale by the amount of the premium originally paid. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased upon exercise is increased by the premium originally paid.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION – The books and records of the International Fund relating to the fund's non-U.S. dollar denominated investments are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following basis:

•  market value of investment securities, assets, and liabilities are translated at the current rate of exchange; and

•  purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The International Fund does not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

The International Fund reports certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. At September 30, 2005, foreign currency holdings consisted of multiple denominations, primarily European Monetary Units and Australian Dollar.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS – The International Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions or fund positions. The aggregate principal amount of the contracts are not recorded because the International Fund intends to settle the contracts prior to delivery. All commitments are "marked-to-market" daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The International Fund realizes gains or losses at the time the forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the period are recognized as ordinary income or loss for federal income tax purposes.

The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit a potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the fund's statement of assets and liabilities. The face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the fund has in that particular currency contract. In addition, there could be exposure to risks (limited to the amount of unrealized gains) if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. There were no outstanding forward foreign currency contracts at September 30 , 2005.

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 the fund's net asset value if the fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. At September 30, 2005, the following fund had outstanding when-issued commitments (000):

Fund	Cost		Segregated Assets
Balanced Fund	$	4,997	$	6,317

In connection with the ability to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, each fund may also enter into dollar rolls in which the fund sells securities purchased on a forward-commitment basis and simultaneously contracts with a counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon, and maturity), but not identical securities on a specified future date. As an inducement for the fund to "roll over" its purchase commitments, the fund receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price of the commitment. Dollar rolls are considered a form of leverage.

ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the funds' board of directors as reflecting fair value. Each fund intends to invest no more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and m ay have contractual restrictions on resale. Certain restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, including Rule 144A securities, are not subject to the limitation on a fund's investment in illiquid securities if they are determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the funds' board of directors.

SECURITIES LENDING – In order to generate additional income, a fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets (which includes collateral for securities on loan) to broker-dealers, banks, or other institutional borrowers of securities. Each fund's policy is to maintain collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities, or other high-grade debt obligations equal to at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. The collateral is then "marked-to-market" daily

U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM") serves as the securities lending agent for the funds in transactions involving the lending of portfolio securities on behalf of the funds. USBAM acts as the securities lending agent pursuant to, and subject to compliance with conditions contained in, an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, USBAM received fees equal to 35% of each fund's income from securities lending transactions. Effective January 1, 2006, such fees will be lowered to 32% of each fund's income from securities lending transactions. With respect to International Fund, a portion of this amount was paid to State Street Bank and Trust for acting as sub-lending agent. Fees paid to USBAM by the funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, were as follows (000):

Fund	Amount

SWAP AGREEMENTS – The Balanced fund may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The fund may enter into interest rate and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk.

Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (i.e., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to the notional amount of principal). At September 30, 2005, Balanced Fund had not entered into any interest rate swap agreements.

In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a specified issuer on its obligation (typically a corporate issue or sovereign issue of an emerging country). The fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the fund owns an issuance of or otherwise has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default.

Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected on the Statement of

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

116

Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received by the fund are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

SECURITY LITIGATION SETTLEMENTS – Income from settlement proceeds related to portfolio securities is recorded as an adjustment to realized or unrealized gains or losses. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, Real Estate Securities Fund, Small Cap Growth Opportunities, Small Cap Select, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund, Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Balanced Fund and Equity Income Fund received settlement proceeds of $942, $1,063,765, $40,402, $84,326, $140,115, $8,035, $72,577, $152,053, $31,571 and $25,533 respectively, as an adjustment to realized gains or losses for settlement proceeds related to securities no longer included in the portfolio.

EXPENSES – Expenses that are directly related to one of the funds are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses generally are allocated to the funds on the basis of relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds. Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees and servicing fees, are borne by that class. Income, other expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of a fund are allocated to each respective class in proportion to the relative net assets of each class.

INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM – Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies in the First American Family of Funds, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. The funds did not have any interfund lending transactions during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN – Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), non-interested directors of the First American Family of Funds may participate and elect to defer receipt of part or all of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of selected open-end First American Funds as designated by the board of directors. All amounts in the Plan are 100% vested and accounts under the Plan are obligations of the funds. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. 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.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement"), USBAM, a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), manages each fund's assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research, and personnel.

7 >  Concentration of Risks

Portfolios that primarily invest in a particular sector may experience greater volatility than portfolios investing in a broad range of industry sectors. Real Estate Securities Fund primarily invests in income-producing common stocks of publicly traded companies engaged in the real estate industry. The real estate industry has been subject to substantial fluctuations and declines on a local, regional and national basis in the past and may continue to in the future. Through the fiscal year-end, the Small-Mid Cap Core Fund primarily invested in the technology industry. Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition of companies in this industry. For example, if technology continues to advance at an accelerate rate and the number of companies could become offerings continue to expand these companies and because increasingly sensitive to short production cycles and aggressive pricing. Prior to October 3, 2005, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund, operating as the Technology Fund primarily invests in equity securities of companies in the technology industry. Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition of companies in this industry. For example, if technology continues to advance at an accelerated rate and the number of companies and product offerings continues to expand, these companies could become increasingly sensitive to short product cycles and aggressive pricing. As of September 30, 2005, Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund and Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund had a significant portion of their assets invested in the information technology sector, which could be more sensitive to short product cycles and aggressive pricing than the technology industry as a whole. As of the same date, Small Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, and Mid Cap Value Fund had significant portions of their assets invested in the fina ncials sector. The financials sector may be more greatly impacted by the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence and spending.

8 >  Indemnifications

The funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the funds have not had prior claims of losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

USBAM has reported this to the Fund's board of directors and to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC is investigating the matter, and USBAM is cooperating fully with the investigation.

10>  Replacement of Investment Sub-Advisor

On September 16, 2004, the funds' board of directors approved the appointment of J.P. Morgan ("JPMorgan") to replace Clay Finlay, Inc. as the investment sub-advisor to International Fund.

APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Board of Directors of the Funds (the "Board"), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, oversees the management of each Fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Funds' advisory agreement with U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM"). In addition to determining whether to renew the agreement with USBAM, the Board also is responsible for determining whether to approve subadvisory agreements for the Funds.

At a meeting on May 3-5 2005, the Board considered information relating to the Funds' investment advisory agreement with USBAM (the "Agreement") and, with respect to the International Fund, information relating to the sub-advisory agreement between USBAM and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JP Morgan") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement"). In advance of the meeting, the Board received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. At a subsequent meeting on June 20-22, 2005, the Board concluded its consideration of and approved the Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement through June 30, 2006.

Although the Agreement, which is with First American Investment Funds, Inc., relates to all of the Funds, the Board separately considered and approved the Agreement with respect to each Fund. In considering the Agreement, the Board, advised by independent legal counsel, reviewed and considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of USBAM's services to the Fund, (2) the investment performance of the Fund, (3) the profitability of USBAM related to the Fund, including an analysis of USBAM's cost of providing services and comparative expense information, (4) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels are adjusted to enable Fund investors to share in these economies of scale, and (5) other benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the Funds. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board's decision to approve the Agreements.

Before approving the Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board met in executive session with its independent counsel on numerous occasions to consider the materials provided by USBAM and the terms of the Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board concluded that the Agreement is fair and in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund and that the Sub-Advisory Agreement is fair and in the interests of the shareholders of the International Fund. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered the following:

Nature, Quality and Extent of Investment Advisory Services

The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by USBAM to each Fund, and the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by JP Morgan to the International Fund.

For the Funds other than the International Fund, the Board reviewed USBAM's key personnel who provide investment management services to each Fund as well as the fact that, under the Agreement, USBAM has the authority and responsibility to make and execute investment decisions for each Fund within the framework of that Fund's investment policies and restrictions, subject to review by the Board. The Board further considered that USBAM's duties with respect to each Fund include (i) investment research and security selection, (ii) adherence to (and monitoring compliance with) the Fund's investment policies and restrictions and the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (iii) monitoring the performance of the various organizations providing services to the Fund, including the Fund's distributor, sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian. Finally, the Board considered USBAM's representation t hat the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement are the type of services customarily provided by investment advisors in the fund industry.

With respect to the International Fund, the Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by JP Morgan and reviewed JP Morgan's key personnel who provide investment management services to the Fund. The Board noted that, under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, JP Morgan has the authority and responsibility to make and execute investment decisions for the Fund within the framework of the Fund's investment policies and restrictions, subject to the supervision of USBAM and review by the Board. The Board further considered that JP Morgan's duties with respect to the International Fund include investment research and stock selection and adherence to the Fund's investment policies and restrictions. The Board noted that, under the Agreement, USBAM is responsible for monitoring the performance of JP Morgan as well as various organizations providing services to the International Fund, including the Fund's distributor, sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian. Finally, the Board considered USBAM's representation that the services provided by JP Morgan under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are the type of services customarily provided by investment advisors in the fund industry.

The Board considered compliance reports about USBAM and JP Morgan from the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO).

Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that (i) each Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement and (ii) the International Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by JP Morgan under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Funds

The Board considered the performance of each Fund, including how the Fund performed versus the median performance of a group of comparable funds selected by an independent data service (the "performance universe") and how the Fund performed versus its benchmark index.

Balanced Fund. The Board considered that the Fund significantly outperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the year ended February 28, 2005. For longer periods, the Fund generally underperformed both its benchmark index and the performance universe. The Board noted, however, that the Fund's current management team has been in place only since 2004. Thus, the underperformance for longer time periods is attributable to a former management team. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's good relative performance over the last year, which was achieved by its new management team, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholder s to renew the Agreement and to continue to allow the current management team to develop its performance record with the Fund.

Equity Income Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's performance was comparable to that of its benchmark for the one-year period ended February 28, 2005 and that the Fund outperformed the benchmark for the five-year period ended February 28, 2005. While the Fund's performance was below the median of its performance universe for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended February 28, 2005, the Board considered USBAM's assertion that the performance universe included a number of funds which had different investment restrictions and styles than those of the Fund. USBAM represented to the Board that this difference contributed to the Fund's underperf ormance compared to its performance universe. In light of this discrepancy, the Board compared the Fund's performance to the performance of a custom performance universe which USBAM indicated provided a more meaningful comparison. The Board noted that the Fund's performance compared favorably to this custom performance universe for the five- and ten-year periods, although it still lagged for the more recent periods The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's positive long-term performance vis-à-vis

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

128

its benchmark and the custom performance universe, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement, while continuing to monitor the Fund's performance closely.

International Fund. The Board noted that the Fund has underperformed both its benchmark and its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended February 28, 2005. The Board considered, however, that the Fund's new sub-adviser, JP Morgan, did not begin managing the Fund until December 2004 and that JP Morgan, therefore, is not responsible for the performance record reviewed by the Board. The Board concluded that, in light of JP Morgan's very limited period of managing the Fund, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement and to closely monitor the performance record that JP Morgan develops as subadviser to the Fund.

Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund significantly outperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended February 28, 2005. The Fund underperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the ten-year period ended February 28, 2005, but the Board noted that this underperformance could be attributed to a former management team. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's strong performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Large Cap Select Fund. The Board considered that the Fund significantly outperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the one-year period ended February 28, 2005, and that the Fund's performance since inception (January 31, 2003) through February 28, 2005 was only slightly below that of its benchmark. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's recent strong performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Large Cap Value Fund. The Board noted that the Fund significantly outperformed its performance universe for the one-year period ended February 28, 2005, although it did underperform its benchmark. The Board also noted that the Fund's performance was below that of its performance universe and its benchmark for the three-, five- and ten-year periods ended February 28, 2005. The Board, however, also considered the management transitions that have occurred during the past five years, and that USBAM is currently seeking a new manager. The Board concluded that, in light of these facts, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement, while continuing to closely monitor USBAM's search for a new team and the performance of the Fund.

Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund significantly outperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended February 28, 2005. The Board concluded that, in light of this performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement with respect to the Fund.

Mid Cap Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the one-year period ended February 28, 2005. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund's three- and five-year performance also was strong, although somewhat below the benchmark for the five-year period. While the Fund underperformed both its benchmark index and its performance universe for the ten-year period ended February 28, 2005, the Board noted that this underperformance could be attributed primarily to a former management team. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's strong recent performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Real Estate Securities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's performance was better than or comparable to that of its benchmark index and its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended February 28, 2005 and for the period since inception in 1995 through February 28, 2005. The Board concluded that, in light of this performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended February 28, 2005 and for the period since inception in 1995 through February 28, 2005. The Board also considered that the Fund's performance was below that of its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended February 28, 2005. The Board considered, however, USBAM's assertion that the Fund's performance should

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

129

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS September 30, 2005 (unaudited)

be compared to a universe of small-cap growth funds, rather than the universe of small-cap core funds provided by the independent data service, because the new portfolio management team does not manage the Fund as a micro-cap fund (which the prior management team did). When compared to a small- cap growth universe, the Fund outperformed for the three- and five-year periods ended February 28, 2005. Finally, the Board considered that the current portfolio management team has been in place for less than one year, and that any underperformance for that one-year period could be attributed to the transition to that new management team. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's outperformance of both its benchmark and the small-cap growth fund universe for the three- and five-year periods, and the Fund's new management team, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the A greement and to closely monitor the performance record that the new management team develops.

Small Cap Select Fund. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was in line with its benchmark and performance universe for the three-, five- and ten-year periods ended February 28, 2005. The Board also considered that, while the Fund's performance was significantly below that of its benchmark and its performance universe for the one-year period ended February 28, 2005, the Fund significantly exceeded its benchmark for the five-year period. The Board considered that current Fund management has been in place for less than one year, and that the underperformance for that first year could be attributed to the transition to the new management team. The Board concl uded that, in light of the Fund's new management team and the Fund's competitive long-term performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement and to monitor the performance record that the new management team develops.

Small Cap Value Fund. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed both its benchmark and its performance universe for the year ended February 28, 2005. Furthermore, the Fund outperformed its performance universe for the three-, five- and ten-year periods, although it underperformed the benchmark for each of these periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's strong recent performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Small-Mid Cap Core Fund. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was below that of its benchmark and its performance universe for the one-, five- and ten-year periods ended February 28, 2005. The Board also considered, however, that the Fund soon would be converted to a small- and mid-cap core fund, with a different management team and different investment objectives and policies. In light of the impending change, the Board concluded it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement and to closely monitor the performance record developed by the Fund in its new form.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by USBAM

The Board reviewed USBAM's estimated costs in serving as the Funds' investment manager, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage each Fund. The Board also considered the reported profitability of USBAM and its affiliates resulting from their relationship with each Fund. For each Fund, the Board reviewed fee and expense information as compared to that of other funds and accounts managed by USBAM and of comparable funds managed by other advisers. The Board found that while the management fees for USBAM's institutional separate accounts are lower than the Funds' management fees, the Funds receive additional services from USBAM that separate accounts do not receive.

Using information provided by an independent data service, the Board also evaluated each Fund's advisory fee compared to the median advisory fee for other mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy, and each Fund's expense ratio after waivers compared to the median expense ratio, after waivers, of comparable funds. In connection with its review of Fund fees and expenses, the Board asked USBAM to articulate its pricing philosophy. USBAM responded that it attempts generally to maintain each Fund's total operating expenses at a level that approximates its peer group median expense ratio. In addition, USBAM committed to waive its investment advisory fees to the extent necessary to maintain the Funds' total expense ratios at levels generally in line with their respective peer groups. Consistent with this pricing philosophy, and after discussions with the Board, USBAM proposed certain chan ges to the advisory fees and expense ratios of the Funds, as discussed in more detail below. The Board concluded that USBAM's pricing philosophy is a reasonable one and, after taking into account USBAM's proposed changes to advisory fees and expense ratios, that the Funds' advisory fees and expense ratios are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the advisory fees and expense ratios of each Fund is set forth below:

Balanced Fund. The Board considered that, after waivers, the Fund's advisory fee is significantly lower and the Fund's expense ratio is slightly lower than the peer group median (even though, ignoring the waivers, the Fund's contractual advisory fee is slightly higher than that of its peer group median) The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to increase its voluntary expense cap for the Fund by 0.05%, which would lower the Fund's expense ratio from 1.15% to 1.10%. The Board noted that this change would bring the Fund to within 3 basis points of the peer group median expense ratio of 1.07%. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap change, are reasonable.

Equity Income Fund. The Board considered that, after waivers, the Fund's advisory fee is close to the peer group median advisory fee and the Fund's expense ratio is slightly lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board also considered that the Fund's contractual advisory fee is slightly higher than the peer group median advisory fee. The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove the expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that, absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would have remained competitive. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap remo val, are reasonable.

International Fund. The Board noted that the Fund's advisory fee, both before and after waivers, is higher than that of its peer group median, as is the Fund's total expense ratio after waivers. To bring the Fund's total expense ratio more closely in line that of its peer group median, the Board and USBAM agreed to contractually decrease the advisory fee from 1.10% to 1.00% and to cap total Fund expenses at 1.52%. The Board noted that although the Fund's advisory fee will continue to be higher than that of its peer group median, the expense cap change would bring the Fund to within 10 basis points of the peer group median expense ratio of 1.42%. The Board concluded that th e Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the contractual decrease in the advisory fee and the expense cap change, are reasonable.

Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's contractual advisory fee is equal to the peer group median advisory fee. The Board also considered that, after waivers, the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove the expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that, absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would have still been lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap removal, are reasonable.

Large Cap Select Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's advisory fee, both contractual and after waivers, and its expense ratio after waivers are lower than the peer group median. The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove the expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that, absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would still have been lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap removal, are reasonable.

Large Cap Value Fund. The Board considered that, after waivers the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are lower than the peer group median (even though, if the waivers were ignored, the Fund's contractual advisory fee is slightly higher than that of its peer group median). The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove the expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that, absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would have continued to be competitive. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap removal, are reasonable.

Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's advisory fee, both contractual and after waivers, and its expense ratio after waivers are lower than the peer group median. The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove the expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that, absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would still have been lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap removal, are reasonable.

Mid Cap Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's advisory fee, both contractual and after waivers, and its expense ratio after waivers are lower than the peer group median. The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove

the expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that, absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would still have been lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap removal, are reasonable.

Real Estate Securities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's advisory fee, both contractual and after waivers, and its expense ratio after waivers are lower than the peer group median. The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove the expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that, absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would still have been lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap removal, are reasonable.

Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's advisory fee, both contractual and after waivers, and its expense ratio after waivers are higher than the peer group median. To bring the Fund's total expense ratio more closely in line with that of its peer group median, the Board and USBAM agreed to contractually decrease the advisory fee from 1.40% to 1.00% and to cap total Fund expenses at 1.47%. The Board noted that although the Fund's advisory fee would continue to be higher than the peer group median, the expense cap change would bring the Fund to within 10 basis points of the peer group median expense ratio of 1.37%. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the contractual decrease in the advisory fee and the expense cap change, are reasonable.

Small Cap Select Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's advisory fee, both contractual and after waivers, and its expense ratio after waivers are lower than the peer group median. The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove the expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that, absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would still have been lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap removal, are reasonable.

Small Cap Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's advisory fee, both contractual and after waivers, and its expense ratio after waivers are lower than the peer group median. The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove the expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that, absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would still have been lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap removal, are reasonable.

Small-Mid Cap Core Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's contractual advisory fee and its expense ratio after waivers are lower than the peer group median. The Board also considered that the Fund's advisory fee after waivers is approximately equal to the peer group median. The Board then considered USBAM's proposal to remove the expense cap for the Fund. Absent the expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would still have been lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap removal, are reasonable.

Economies of Scale in Providing Investment Advisory Services

The Board considered the extent to which each Fund's investment advisory fee reflects economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Based on information provided by USBAM, the Board noted that profitability will likely increase somewhat as assets grow over time. The Board considered that, although most Funds do not have advisory fee breakpoints in place, USBAM has committed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary to keep each Fund's total expenses generally in line with the median total expenses of a peer group of funds as selected by an independent data service. The median total expense ratio of a Fund's peer group will necessarily reflect the effect of any breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules of the funds in that group. Therefore, by capping a Fund's total expense ratio at a level close to the median, Fund shareholders will effectively receive the benefit of any breakpoints in th e comparable funds' advisory fee schedules. In light of USBAM's commitment to keep total Fund expenses competitive, the Board concluded that it would be reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Other Benefits to USBAM

In evaluating the benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that USBAM and certain of its affiliates serve the Funds in various capacities, including as advisor, administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian and securities lending agent, and receive compensation from the Funds in connection with providing services to the Funds. The Board considered that each service provided to the Funds by USBAM or one of its affiliates is pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically as required by law.

The Board also considered USBAM's use of the Funds' portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain research. The Board concluded, based on its own review and on representations of USBAM, that USBAM's use of "soft" commission dollars was consistent with regulatory requirements.

After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that approval of the Agreement was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

Core Bond fund

Investment Objective: high current income consistent with limited risk to capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Core Bond Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 3.01% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 2.75% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index*, returned 2.80% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

While the Fed's measured approach to tightening monetary policy helped foster stability in the bond market, it had little effect on long-term rates, which remained low as short-term rates inched higher. As a result, the flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made bonds with maturities of 10 years or longer more attractive than their shorter-term counterparts. Given strong corporate profits, corporate bonds enjoyed continued strong performance, though increasingly there have been indications that the credit cycle has passed its peak.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

The fund's strategic positioning to take advantage of the flattening yield curve by underweights in intermediate-term bonds accounted for a significant portion of the fund's outperformance relative to the index. With lower-quality issues outperforming higher-rated bonds, the fund benefited from an overweight in BBB-rated credit throughout most of the fiscal year. An overweight in mortgage-backed securities, as well as overweights in asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, also added value.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

The fund gradually trimmed its overweight in BBB-rated bonds, as these issues performed increasingly well. By the end of the reporting period, the fund shifted to a modest underweight in BBB-rated bonds and remained underweight in higher-quality corporate issues as well. Though this transition was driven chiefly by less attractive valuations rather than the fundamental economic developments, we believe that the credit cycle has peaked and that an increase in shareholder friendly activity (mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, share buybacks, etc,) makes corporate bonds less appealing. Although we believe rates will continue to increase, we view current valuations on mortgage-backed securities as attractive and are overweight in this position. We continue to emphasize high-quality collateral in the mortgage-backed and asset-backed markets as the economic expansion matures and credit risk for consu mers increases. We believe the continued economic growth and mounting inflationary pressures will drive the interest rates upward; accordingly the fund's duration is shorter than the benchmark.

*Unlike mutual funds, index returns do not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects.

Value of $10,000 Investment^1,3as of September 30, 2005

The chart above illustrates the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares (from 9/30/1995 to 9/30/2005) as compared to the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index.²

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in the index is not available.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including maximum sales charges of 4.25% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

²  An unmanaged index comprised of the Lehman Government/Credit Bond Index, the Lehman Mortgage Backed Securities Index, and the Lehman Asset Backed Securities Index. The Lehman Government/Credit Bond Index is comprised of Treasury securities, other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, including U.S. agency mortgage securities, and investment-grade corporate debt securities. The Lehman Mortgage Backed Securities Index is comprised of the mortgage-backed pass-through securities of Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. The Lehman Asset Backed Securities Index is comprised of debt securities rated investment grade or higher that are backed by credit card, auto, and home equity loans.

³  Performance for Class B, Class C, and Class R shares is not presented. Performance for these classes will vary due to different expense structures.

Core Bond fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Core Bond Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expense Examples

	Beginning Account Value (4/01/05)		Ending Account Value (9/30/05)		Expenses Paid During Period1 (4/01/05 to 9/30/05)
Class A Actual2	$	1,000.00	$	1,019.00	$	4.81
Class A Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$	1,000.00	$	1,020.31	$	4.81
Class B Actual2	$	1,000.00	$	1,015.30	$	8.59

Class Y Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$	1,000.00	$	1,021.56	$	3.55

¹Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio for the most recent six-month period of 0.95%, 1.70%, 1.70%, 1.20% and 0.70% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

²Based on the actual returns for the six months ended September 30, 2005: 1.90% for Class A, 1.53% for Class B, 1.62% for Class C, 1.84% for Class R, and 2.12% for Class Y.

High Income Bond fund

Investment Objective: high current income

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American High Income Bond Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 7.01% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 6.74% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Corporate High Yield Index*, returned 6.71% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation has risen with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

While the Fed's measured approach to tightening monetary policy helped foster stability in the bond market, it had little effect on long-term rates, which remained low as short-term rates inched higher. As a result, the flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made bonds with maturities of 10 years or longer more attractive than their shorter-term counterparts. Given strong corporate profits, high-yield credit enjoyed continued strong performance, though increasingly there have been indications that the credit cycle has passed its peak.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Most of the decisions that affected the fund during the fiscal year were related to individual security selections. Benefiting the fund were overweights in corporate bonds that outperformed the benchmark through much of the reporting period: Allegheny Technologies, Case New Holland, Dobson Cellular, McDermott International, North American Energy, Roundy's, and Witco Chemical.

In terms of credit quality, the fund benefited from an overweight to CCC-rated securities in the fall of 2004, when these issues handily outperformed others in the high-yield area. Later on during the fiscal year, the fund's position in BBB-rated securities helped us weather the weak spell in the high-yield market. Also contributing to the good returns were positions taken in emerging markets.

On the downside, adverse security selection detracted somewhat from the fund's performance, with overweights to bonds that underperformed, including Calpine, Collins & Aikman, Delphi, Elan, Intelsat, Mercer, and Tembec.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Due to increasing concern about the maturing credit cycle, we improved the overall quality of the fund by eliminating the overweight in CCC-rated debt early in 2005. Similarly, we began to shift emphasis from idiosyncratic risk (large positions in single names) to market risk, reducing a number of large overweights in individual names while increasing our exposure to derivative products where the underlying credit risk is diversified among a large number of corporate issuers. During the year, we tactically invested in emerging market debt, specifically sovereign debt (issued by national governments).

High Income Bond fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the High Income Bond Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Effective July 1, 2005, the contractual limitation on annual expenses for each class was increased to 1.10%, 1.85%, 1.85%, 1.35%, and .085% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y respectively. If this new limitation had been in place during the entire period, actual and hypothetical ending account balances would have been $1,038.15 and $1,019.55 for Class A, $1,034.44 and $1,015.79 for Class B, $1,034.44 and $1,015.79 for Class C, $1,036.35 and $1,018.30 for Class R, and $1,039.44 and $1,020.81 for Class Y and actual and hypothetical expenses paid during the period would have been $5.62 and $5.57 for Class A, $9.44 and $ 9.35 for Class B, $9.44 and $9.35 for Class C, $6.89 and $6.83 for Class R and $4.35 and $4.31 for Class Y.

Inflation Protected Securities fund

Investment Objective: provide investors with total return while providing protection against inflation

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Inflation Protected Securities Fund (the "fund") Class Y shares, returned 5.24% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 4.93% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index*, returned 5.90% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

The Fed's measured approach to tightening monetary policy helped foster stability in the bond market, keeping long-term rates anchored while short-term rates moved higher. As a result, the yield curve flattened. Given strong corporate profits, corporate bonds enjoyed continued strong performance, though increasingly there have been indications that the credit cycle has passed its peak.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) did not enjoy particularly strong performance during this fiscal year, underperforming dramatically during the second quarter and recovering thereafter. As yield spreads between five-year and 30-year Treasuries narrowed dramatically throughout the reporting period, the fund's overweight in longer maturities was a positive contributor to performance. The non-TIPS allocation was beneficial to the fund in the second quarter, when TIPS underperformed, but non-TIPS bonds gave back gains when TIPS recovered in the third quarter. The fund's underweight in short-maturity TIPS detracted from performance, as these bonds – especially the two-year sector – outperformed other Treasuries, their principal value increasing as a result of the inflationary change triggered by rising energy prices. We adjusted the fund's duration tactically as rates moved up or down within the market range throughout the fiscal year.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

With yield curve spreads much compressed, we've reduced our position in longer-maturity TIPS, increasing our holdings in bonds with five-year maturities. Because of tight spreads, we eliminated our exposure to emerging market and high-yield bonds (which accounted for 5% of the portfolio), and we are looking for a more advantageous point at which to resume holding these securities. We continue to hold short-duration asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities, a good alternative to holding short-end TIPS, which tend to be volatile with energy price movements.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds.

Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Intermediate Government Bond fund

Investment Objective: provide investors with current income that is exempt from state income tax, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Intermediate Government Bond Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 1.43% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 1.40% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Intermediate Treasury Bond Index*, returned 1.00% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation has been basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

While the Fed's measured approach to tightening monetary policy helped foster stability in the bond market, it had little effect on long-term rates, which remained low as short-term rates inched higher. As a result, the flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made bonds with maturities of 10 years or longer more attractive than their shorter-term counterparts.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

The fund's strategic positioning to take advantage of the flattening yield curve was the main contributor to performance: as the yield spread between the two-year and 10-year Treasury bonds collapsed throughout the fiscal year, the fund benefited from an overweight in longer maturities (mainly 10-year and, to a lesser extent, 10- to 15-year Treasuries). An overweight to agency bonds, which are not included in the fund's benchmark index, was another significant contributor to performance. On average, 50% of the portfolio was composed of agency bonds, which provided good returns. We adjusted the fund's duration tactically as rates moved up or down within the market range throughout the fiscal year.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

During most of the fiscal year, the fund maintained an overweight in longer-maturity bonds in order to take advantage of the flattening yield curve. As yield curve spreads compressed, we reduced out overweight in long-maturity bonds, looking for further curve flattening to come more slowly. In line with this more defensive position, we also reduced the fund's overweight to agency bonds, particularly ones with longer maturities. We continue to approach the fund's duration tactically, remaining neutral relative to the index.

Intermediate Term Bond fund

Investment Objective: current income to the extent consistent with preservation of capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Intermediate Term Bond Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares, returned 1.85% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 1.69% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index*, returned 1.50% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

The fund's strategic positioning to take advantage of the flattening yield curve was the main contributor to performance: as the yield spread between the two-year and 10-year Treasury bonds collapsed throughout the fiscal year, the fund benefited from an overweight in longer maturities (mainly 10-year and, to a lesser extent, 10- to 15-year Treasuries). In general, our duration was neutral or short relative to the index – a fairly defensive position we assumed in view of the rising short-term interest rates. The fund's investments in nonindex securities (mainly structured products like mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities) paid off, as these sectors performed well for most of the reporting period. Our overweight in BBB-rated securities brought strong gains early in the fiscal period, but their performance declined later on, especially following the downgrades of Ford and General Motors bonds to junk status, which caused BBB-rated issues to underperform.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

We moved to a sizeable underweight in corporate bonds because, while corporate earnings growth remains strong, the reward for credit risk is not compelling, especially in an environment increasingly characterized by shareholder friendly activity on the part of issuers (leveraged buyouts, share buybacks, etc.). The fund maintained an overweight in structured securities, principally asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed. As we monitor the effects of rising interest rates, we continue to approach the fund's duration tactically, remaining modestly defensive relative to the index.

Intermediate Term Bond fundcontinued

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Intermediate Term Bond Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expense Examples

	Beginning Account Value (4/01/05)		Ending Account Value (9/30/05)		Expenses Paid During Period1 (4/01/05 to 9/30/05)
Class A Actual2	$	1,000.00	$	1,016.20	$	3.79

Short Term Bond fund

Investment Objective: current income while maintaining a high degree of principal stability

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Short Term Bond Fund (the "fund") Class Y shares returned 1.23% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 1.08% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index*, returned 1.19% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

While the Fed's measured approach to tightening monetary policy helped foster stability in the bond market, it had little effect on long-term rates, which remained low as short-term rates inched higher. As a result, the flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made bonds with longer maturities more attractive, helping five-year issues outperform their two-year counterparts.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

With its emphasis on short-term securities, fund's strategy is defensive, seeking to minimize risk to income from rate changes over the long term. Therefore, in an environment characterized by rising short-term rates, which adversely affect short-term bond yields, returns tend to be modest, as they indeed were during this fiscal year. The fund's positive performance came from a combination of sector weighting, duration strategy, and yield-curve positioning. The fund focused on generating income by overweighting sectors not included in its benchmark index; in this space, an overweight to asset-backed securities proved beneficial, as they performed very well during the fiscal year. An overweight to short-term mortgage products also added value. In terms of duration, we were defensively positioned (80% to 90% of the benchmark), which added to performance. An underweight in short-term Treasury bonds helped the fund benefit from the flattening yield curve, as the fund held a combination short reset-floating-rate securities and three- to five-year securities as a substitute. An overweight to BBB-rated corporate bonds held back performance during the spring months, when Ford and General Motors bonds were downgraded to junk status; but, in the context of the entire fiscal year, this period of underperformance had a negligible effect.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

Because of the increase in shareholder friendly activity (mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, stock buybacks) in the corporate sector, we trimmed the fund's overweight position in BBB-rated corporate bonds, moving instead to asset-backed securities and to mortgage-backed securities. Generally, we have been reducing lower-quality risk and ensuring that the fund is well diversified by keeping allocations to individual names small. While we believe the Fed will continue to raise short-term rates, the tightening cycle is, in our view, nearing the end; accordingly, we have moved the fund's duration from short to neutral.

Total Return Bond fund

Investment Objective: high current income consistent with prudent risk to capital

Change of fund name, strategy and index:

In May 2005, the fund changed its name from the First American Corporate Bond Fund to the First American Total Return Bond Fund (the "fund"). The new name reflects the key change in the fund's investment strategy: to expand risk-adjusted return opportunities, the fund now provides tactical allocation to nontraditional fixed-income sectors. These allocations, which can constitute up to 30% of the portfolio, include high yield (below-investment-grade corporate bonds with none rated lower than CCC), nondollar denominated bonds, and emerging market bonds (dollar-denominated bonds issued by governments and corporations in emerging markets such as Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe). At least 70% of the portfolio is composed of actively managed mortgage-backed, corporate, asset-backed, and U.S. Government securities. The benchmark for the fund was cha nged to the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index.

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American Total Return Fund, Class Y shares, returned 3.83% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 3.57% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index*, returned 2.80% for the same period. The fund's benchmark prior to its investment strategy changes, the Lehman U.S. Credit A/Baa Index*, returned 2.85% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal period. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

While the Fed's measured approach to tightening monetary policy helped foster stability in the bond market, it had little effect on long-term rates, which remained low as short-term rates inched higher. As a result, the flattening yield curve (i.e., a greater rise in short-term than in long-term rates) made bonds with maturities of 10 years or longer more attractive than their shorter-term counterparts. Given strong corporate pr ofits, both investment-grade and high-yield credit enjoyed continued strong performance, though increasingly there have been indications that the credit cycle has passed its peak.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

The fund's strategic positioning to benefit from the flattening yield curve was a positive contributor to performance, as were the fund's positions in all three of its noncore sectors during the latter part of the period: emerging markets, high yield, and nondollar denominated bonds. Emerging markets enjoyed a particularly strong year, boosted both by fundamental improvements (notably improved public finances and improving credit ratings) and by the economic cycle, with growing demand for commodities and continued global growth making for positive trade flow and exports. An overweight in high-yield corporate bonds proved beneficial, as these issues enjoyed strong performance. The fund's positioning in asset-backed and mortgage-backed sectors, as well as issue selection within corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities also added value.

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

With high-yield corporate bonds and, to a lesser extent, emerging market bonds becoming more expensive later in the second half of the fiscal year, we reduced their weights in the portfolio. This was primarily driven by less attractive valuations and, in the case of corporate bonds, increased risk to bondholders from the issuers' shareholder friendly activities (mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, share buybacks, etc.). In keeping with this more defensive position, we increased our holdings in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality mortgage-backed securities. We continue to view foreign bond markets as attractive relative to the United States, and although we expect some strength in the U.S. dollar in the near term, our longer-term outlook for the dollar is marginally negative.

A significant portion of the Fund's portfolio may consist of lower-rated debt obligations, which are commonly called "high-yield" securities or "junk bonds." High-yield securities generally have more volatile prices and carry more risk to principal than investment-grade securities. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including maximum sales charges of 4.25% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

The Lehman Government/Credit Bond Index is comprised of Treasury securities, other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, including U.S. agency mortgage securities, and investment-grade corporate debt securities. The Lehman Mortgage Backed Securities Index is comprised of the mortgage-backed pass-through securities of Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. The Lehman Asset Backed Securities Index is comprised of debt securities rated investment grade or higher that are backed by credit card, auto, and home equity loans. Previously, th e fund used the Lehman U.S. Credit A/Baa Bond Index as a benchmark. Going forward, the fund will use the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index as a comparison, because its composition better matches the fund's investment strategies.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Total Return Bond Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

U.S. Government Mortgage fund

Investment Objective: high current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005?

The First American U.S. Government Mortgage Fund (the "fund"), Class Y shares returned 2.75% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (Class A shares returned 2.59% without taking the sales charge into account). By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Mortgage-Backed Securities Index*, returned 3.29% for the same period.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the fiscal year?

Economic growth moderated but nevertheless continued at a solid pace over the course of the fiscal year. Solid economic growth, in turn, improved labor market conditions. While core inflation remained basically stable at a relatively low level, overall inflation rose with the continuing climb of energy prices during the past year. The combination of solid growth, lower unemployment, and the potential for higher energy prices to be reflected by broader inflation measures has kept the Fed incrementally raising the Fed Funds Rate at each Federal Open Market Committee meeting since June 2004.

While the Fed's measured approach to tightening monetary policy helped foster stability in the bond market, it had little effect on long-term rates, which remained low as short-term rates inched higher. The low, long-term rates boosted the housing market, which, along with the low-volatility environment promoted by the Fed's measured tightening, created a favorable market climate for mortgage-backed securities.

Underlying economic conditions remain generally favorable for the financial markets, although risks have risen with energy prices and the widespread disruption to activity from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund's performance?

Mortgages performed reasonably well in the final quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, but their performance flagged thereafter, so in aggregate the returns were positive but unspectacular during the fiscal year. Rising interest rates, the flatter yield curve, and a lack of sufficient sponsorship from traditional mortgage investors like banks or government-sponsored enterprises all contributed to the somewhat lackluster sector performance. An overweight in the fund's nonagency mortgage position also added value, as these securities outperformed agency issues. 

What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?

In view of the rising rates and slowing growth in the housing market, the fund has been making a transition to a more defensive posture, with emphasis on higher-quality mortgage-backed securities. Motivated by concern about extension risk (i.e., a lengthening in a security's duration due to the deceleration of prepayments), we have been focusing on higher-coupon issues and underweighting discount securities, which pose the greatest extension risk. To bolster stability, we have increased our position in seasoned paper (mortgages that have been outstanding for three to four years). We have also been acquiring higher-quality, nonagency securities in order to minimize potential risk. While we believe the Fed will continue to raise short-term rates, the tightening cycle is, in our view, nearing the end; accordingly, we have moved the fund's duration from short to neutral.

*Unlike mutual funds, index returns do not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects.

Value of $10,000 Investment^1,3as of September 30, 2005

The chart above illustrates the total value of an assumed $10,000 investment in the fund's Class A and Class Y shares from (11/30/1995 to 9/30/2005) as compared to the Lehman Mortgage-Backed Securities Index.²

The performance data quoted on this page represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 800.677.FUND.

¹  Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers that are or were in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. Index is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects. Direct investment in the index is not available.

Total returns at net asset value ("NAV") reflect performance over the time period indicated without including the fund's maximum sales charge and assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

Total returns at public offering price ("POP") reflect performance over the time period indicated including maximum sales charges of 4.25% for Class A shares and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") for Class B and Class C shares for the relevant period. Maximum CDSC is 5.00% for Class B shares, decreasing annually to 0% in the seventh year following purchase, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Total returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV.

On September 24, 2001, the U.S. Government Mortgage Fund became the successor by merger to the Firstar U.S. Government Securities Fund, a series of Firstar Funds, Inc. Prior to the merger, the First American fund had no assets or liabilities. Performance presented prior to September 24, 2001, represents that of the Firstar U.S. Government Securities Fund. The Firstar U.S. Government Securities Fund was organized on November 27, 2000, and, prior to that, was a separate series of Mercantile Mutual Funds, Inc.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

²  An unmanaged index comprised of the mortgage-backed pass-through securities of Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. It is formed by grouping the universe of more than 600,000 individual fixed-rate MBS pools into approximately 3,500 generic aggregates. The aggregates included are priced daily using a matrix pricing routine based on trade price quotations by agency, program, coupon, and degree of seasoning.

³  Performance for Class B, Class C, and Class R shares is not presented. Performance for these classes will vary due to different expense structures.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the U.S. Government Mortgage Fund (the "fund"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2005, to September 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
First American Investment Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Core Bond, High Income Bond, Inflation Protected Securities, Intermediate Government Bond, Intermediate Term Bond, Short Term Bond, Total Return Bond, and U.S. Government Mortgage Funds (series of First American Investment Funds, Inc.) (the "funds") as of September 30, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, except as noted below. These financial statements and the financial highlights are the responsibility of the funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of the Intermediate Term Bond and U.S. G overnment Mortgage Funds for the periods presented through October 31, 2000, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 29, 2000 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the funds' internal control of financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights audited by us as referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the funds listed above of First American Investment Funds, Inc. at September 30, 2005, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(a)  U.S. Treasury inflation-protection securities (TIPS) are securities in which the principal amount is adjusted for inflation and the semiannual interest payments equal a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount.

(b)  Principal only – Represents securities that entitle holders to receive only principal payments on the underlying mortgages. The yield to maturity of a principal only is sensitive to the rate of principal payments on the underlying mortgage assets. A slow (rapid) rate of principal repayments may have an adverse (positive) effect on yield to maturity. The zero coupon rate represents the lack of interest as part of payments received.

FAIF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. FAIF's articles of incorporation permit the funds' board of directors to create additional funds in the future. Each fund is a diversified open-end management investment company.

FAIF offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y shares. Prior to July 1, 2004, Class R shares were named Class S shares. Class A shares of Intermediate Government Bond Fund, Intermediate Term Bond Fund, and Short Term Bond Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of 2.25%. Class A shares of Core Bond Fund, High Income Bond Fund, Inflation Protected Securities Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, and U.S. Government Mortgage Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of 4.25%. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for six years and automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for 12 months, and will not convert to Class A shares. Class R shares have no sales charge and are offered only through certain tax-deferred r etirement plans. Class Y shares have no sales charge and are offered only to qualifying institutional investors and certain other qualifying accounts. Class B, Class C, and Class R shares are not offered by Intermediate Government Bond Fund, Intermediate Term Bond Fund, or Short Term Bond Fund. Class B shares are not offered by Inflation Protected Securities Fund.

The funds' prospectuses provide descriptions of each fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks. All classes of shares in a fund have identical voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that certain fees, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, may differ among classes. 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 VALUATIONS – Security valuations for the funds' investments are furnished by one or more independent pricing services that have been approved by the funds' board of directors. Investments in equity securities that 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. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the funds utilize the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask range of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask price will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 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 formula driven valuation 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. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely used quotation system. When market quotations are not readily available, securi ties are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the funds' board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value. Price movements in futures contracts

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

and ADRs (American Depositary Receipts), and various other indices, may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. As of September 30, 2005, Core Bond Fund, High Income Bond Fund, and Short Term Bond Fund held fair value securities with a value of $90,227, $0, and $0, respectively, or 0.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0% of total net assets, respectively. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity will be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities are valued at the closing prices on the principal exchanges on which they trade. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollar s using currency exchange rates. Exchange rates are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective net asset value of each underlying fund on the valuation date.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recorded on an 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. The resulting gain/loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value and the underlying cost of the security on the transaction date. Each fund reserves the right to pay part or all of the proceeds from a redemption request in a proportionate share of readily marketable securities in the fund instead of cash.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid monthly and are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Any net realized capital gains on sales of a fund's securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.

FEDERAL TAXES – Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to deferred wash sale losses, paydowns on pass through obligations, return of capital distributions and tax mark to market adjustments under Section 311(e) of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.

On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the following reclassifications were made (000):

Fund	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)			Undistributed Net Investment Income			Portfolio Capital
Core Bond Fund	$	(4,335	)	$	4,351		$	(16	)
High Income Bond Fund		13			(9	)		(4	)

Total Return Bond Fund		(157	)		157			-
U.S. Government Mortgage Fund		(1,004	)		1,004			-

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, 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. The distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, were characterized as follows (000):

	2005

Notes to Financial StatementsSeptember 30, 2005

As of September 30, 2005, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were (000):

Fund	Undistributed Ordinary Income		Undistributed Long Term Capital Gains		Accumulated Capital and Post-October Losses			Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)			Other Accumulated Gains (Losses)			Total Accumulated Earnings (Deficit)
Core Bond Fund	$	12,336	$	-	$	(354	)	$	(18,997	)	$	(517	)	$	(7,532	)

U.S. Government Mortgage Fund		132		-		(4,888	)		(2,011	)		-			(6,767	)

The difference between book and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, tax mark to market adjustments for certain derivatives in accordance with IRC Section 1256, and tax mark to market adjustments made under Section 311(e) of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997.

As of September 30, 2005, the following funds had capital loss carryforwards (000):

	Expiration Year

In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, utilization of all or a portion of the above capital loss carryovers is limited on an annual basis for Total Return Bond Fund to $6,352,310 per tax year for a portion of their capital loss carryover.

Certain funds incurred a loss for tax purposes for the period from November 1, 2004 to September 30, 2005. As permitted by tax regulations, the funds intend to elect to defer and treat these losses as arising in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006. The following funds had deferred losses (000):

Fund	Amount
Core Bond Fund	$	354
Inflation Protected Securities Fund		100
Intermediate Term Bond Fund		3,873
Short Term Bond Fund		8,342
U.S. Government Mortgage Fund		450

FUTURES TRANSACTIONS – In order to protect against changes in the market and to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests, each fund may enter into futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government securities in an amount equal to five percent of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract (initial margin). Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or securities, are made or received by the fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) until the contract is closed. When the contract i s closed, the fund records a realized gain (loss) equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the fund's basis in the contract.

Risks of entering into futures contracts, in general, include the possibility that there will not be a perfect price correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that a fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the fund's statement of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains (losses) on outstanding positions in futures contracts held at the close of the year will be recognized as capital gains (losses) for federal income tax purposes.

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS – The funds may utilize options in an attempt to manage market or business risk or enhance their yield. When a call or put option is written, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. The liability is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a written option expires, a gain is realized in the amount of the premium originally received. If a closing purchase contract is entered into, a gain or loss is realized in the amount of the original premium less the cost of the closing transaction. If a written call is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put o ption is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security that is purchased upon exercise of the option.

Purchased options are recorded as investments and marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option contract. If a purchased option expires, a loss is realized in the amount of the cost of the option. If a closing transaction is entered into, a gain or loss is realized, to the extent that the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security by adjusting the proceeds from such sale by the amount of the premium originally paid. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased upon exercise is increased by the premium originally paid.

INFLATION-INDEXED BONDS – The funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION – The books and records of the High Income Bond Fund relating to the fund's non-U.S. dollar denominated investments are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following basis:

•  market value of investment securities, assets, and liabilities are translated at the current rate of exchange; and

•  purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The High Income Bond Fund does not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in debt securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. The High Income Bond Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates when determining the gain or loss upon sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to the federal income tax regulations. Such amounts are categorized as foreign currency gain or loss for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

The High Income Bond Fund reports certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

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 the fund's net asset value if the fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. At September 30, 2005, the following funds had outstanding when-issued commitments (000):

Fund	Cost		Segregated Assets
Core Bond Fund	$	47,704	$	110,827
Total Return Bond Fund		9,065		32,245
U.S. Government Mortgage Fund		32,294		49,604

In connection with the ability to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, each fund may also enter into dollar rolls in which the fund sells securities purchased on a forward-commitment basis and simultaneously contracts with a counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon, and maturity), but not identical securities on a specified future date. As an inducement for the fund to "rollover" its purchase commitments, the fund receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price of the commitment. Dollar rolls are considered a form of leverage.

ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the funds' board of directors as reflecting fair value. Each fund intends to invest no more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have c ontractual restrictions on resale, and may be valued under methods approved by the funds' board of directors as reflecting fair value. Certain restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, including Rule 144A securities, are not subject to the limitation on a funds' investment in illiquid securities if they are determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the funds' board of directors. At September 30, 2005, Core Bond Fund, High Income Bond Fund, and Short Term Bond Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $95,215, $12,458, and $0, respectively, or 0.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0%, respectively, of total net assets.

Information concerning illiquid securities, including restricted securities considered to be illiquid, is as follows (000):

SECURITIES LENDING – In order to generate additional income, a fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets (which includes collateral for securities on loan) to broker-dealers, banks, or other institutional borrowers of securities. Each fund's policy is to maintain collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities, or other high-grade debt obligations equal to at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. The collateral is then "marked to market" daily until the securities are returned. As with other extensions of credit, there may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the security fail financially. As of September 30, 2005, cash collatera l invested was as follows (000):

	Commercial Paper		Corporate Obligations		Repurchase Agreements		Other Short-Term Securities		Total

U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM") serves as the securities lending agent for the funds in transactions involving the lending of portfolio securities on behalf of the funds. USBAM acts as the securities lending agent pursuant to, and subject to compliance with conditions contained in an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). During the fiscal year ended September 30 2005, USBAM received fees equal to 35% of each fund's income from securities lending transactions. Effective January 1, 2006, such fees will be lowered to 32% of each fund's income from security lending transactions. Fees paid to USBAM by the funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 were as follows (000):

Fund	Amount
Core Bond Fund	$	519
High Income Bond Fund		89
Inflation Protected Securities Fund		26
Intermediate Term Bond Fund		341
Short Term Bond Fund		82
Total Return Bond Fund		42
U.S. Government Mortgage Fund		19

SWAP AGREEMENTS – The funds may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The funds may enter into interest rate and credit default swap agreements to manage exposure to interest rates and credit risk.

Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, (i.e., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) with respect to the notional amount of principal.

In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a specified issuer on its obligation (typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country). The fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the fund owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default.

Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received by the fund are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid m arket for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

EXPENSES – Expenses that are directly related to one of the funds are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are generally allocated to the funds on the basis of relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds. Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees and servicing fees, are borne by that class. Income, other expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of a fund are allocated to each respective class in proportion to the relative net assets of each class.

INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM – Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies in the First American Family of Funds, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. The funds did not have any interfund lending transactions during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN – Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), non-interested directors of the First American Family of Funds may participate and elect to defer receipt of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of selected open-end First American Funds as designated by the Directors. All amounts in the Plan are 100% vested and accounts under the Plan are obligations of the funds. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of 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.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement"), USBAM, a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), manages each fund's assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research, and personnel. The Agreement requires each fund to pay USBAM a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. The annual fee for each fund is as follows:

The funds may invest in related money market funds that are series of First American Funds, Inc. ("FAF"), subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to USBAM, which acts as the investment advisor to both the investing funds and the related money market funds, USBAM will reimburse each investing fund an amount equal to that portion of USBAM's investment advisory fee received from the related money market funds that is attributable to the assets of the investing fund. For financial statement purposes, these reimbursements are recorded as investment income.

ADMINISTRATION FEES – Effective July 1, 2005, USBAM serves as the funds' administrator pursuant to an administration agreement between USBAM and the funds. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC ("USBFS") serves as sub-administrator pursuant to a sub-administration agreement between USBFS and USBAM. Both U.S. Bank and USBFS are direct subsidiaries of U.S. Bancorp. Under the administration agreement, USBAM is compensated to provide, or compensate other entities to provide, services to the funds. These services include various legal, oversight and administrative services and accounting services. Effective July 1, 2005, the funds pay USBAM administration fees, which are calculated daily and paid monthly, equal to each fund's pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual bas is, to 0.15% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds up to $8 billion, 0.135% on the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.12% on the next $25 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.10% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. All fees paid to the sub-administrator are paid from the administration fee. In addition to these fees, the funds may reimburse USBAM and, indirectly, the sub-administrator for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing administration services.

Prior to July 1, 2005, USBAM and USBFS served as "co-administrators" pursuant to a co-administration agreement between the co-administrators and the funds. The funds paid the administration fees to the co-administrators, which were calculated daily and paid monthly, equal to each fund's pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds up to $8 billion, 0.235% of the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.22% of the next $25 billion of the aggregate daily net assets, and 0.20% of

FAIF pays transfer agent fees of $18,500 per share class and additional per account fees for transfer agent services. These fees are allocated to each fund based upon the fund's pro rata share of the aggregate average daily net assets of the funds that comprise FAIF. Under the new transfer agent and shareholder servicing agreement, FAIF also pays USBFS a fee equal, on an annual basis, to 0.10% of each fund's average daily net assets. This fee compensates USBFS for providing certain shareholder services and reimburses USBFS for its payments to financial institutions that establish and maintain omnibus acco unts and provide customary services for such accounts. In addition to these fees, the funds reimburse USBFS for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services. Prior to July 1, 2005, these services were provided by USBFS pursuant to the co-administration agreement.

Effective July 1, 2005, the fee for each fund was reduced from an annual rate of 0.01% of average daily net assets to an annual rate of 0.005% of average daily net assets. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

Effective July 1, 2005, the funds have entered into an arrangement with their custodian whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances will be used to reduce a portion of each funds's custodian expenses. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, custodian fees were not reduced as a result of interest earned.

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES – Quasar Distributors, LLC ("Quasar"), a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, serves as the distributor of the funds pursuant to a distribution agreement with FAIF. Under the distribution agreement, and pursuant to a plan adopted by each fund under rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, each fund pays Quasar a monthly distribution and/or shareholder servicing fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25%, 1.00%, 1.00% and 0.50% of each fund's average daily net assets of the Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares, respectively. No distribution or shareholder servicing fees are paid by Class Y shares. These fees may be used by Quasar to provide compensation for sales support, distribution activiti es, or shareholder servicing activities.

Quasar is currently waiving fees equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets for Class A shares of the Intermediate Government Bond Fund, Intermediate Term Bond Fund and Short Term Bond Fund.

assets of the Class R shares. USBAM is currently waiving all fees under this plan and agreement. This waiver may be discontinued at any time.

OTHER FEES AND EXPENSES – In addition to the investment advisory fees, custodian fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, transfer agent fees and administration fees, each fund is responsible for paying other operating expenses, including: fees and expenses of independent directors, registration fees, postage and printing of shareholder reports, legal, auditing, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, legal fees and expenses were paid to a law firm of which an Assistant Secretary of the funds is a partner.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES – A contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") is imposed on redemptions made in the Class B shares. The CDSC varies depending on the number of years from time of payment for the purchase of Class B shares until the redemption of such shares.

Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years.

Year Since Purchase	Contingent Deferred Sales Charge as a Percentage of Dollar Amount Subject to Charge
First		5.00	%
Second		5.00
Third		4.00
Fourth		3.00
Fifth		2.00
Sixth		1.00
Seventh		0.00
Eighth		0.00

A CDSC of 1.00% is imposed on redemptions made in Class C shares for the first 12 months.

The CDSC for Class B and Class C shares is imposed on the value of the purchased shares, or the value at the time of redemption, whichever is less.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, total front-end sales charges and CDSCs retained by affiliates of USBAM for distributing the funds' shares were as follows (000):

7 >  Concentration of Risks

Each fund (other than Intermediate Government Bond Fund and U.S. Government Mortgage Fund) may invest in foreign securities. A fund's investment in foreign securities subjects it to special risks associated with foreign investing and to a decline in net asset value resulting from changes in exchange rates between the United States dollar and foreign currencies. Because of the special risks associated with foreign investing, a fund investing in foreign securities may be subject to greater volatility than most mutual funds which invest primarily in domestic securities.

Core Bond Fund, High Income Bond Fund and Total Return Bond Fund invest in lower-rated (i.e., rated Ba or lower by Moody's or BB or lower by Standard & Poor's) corporate and foreign debt obligations, which are

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

84

commonly referred to as "junk bonds." Lower-rated securities will usually offer higher yields than higher-rated securities. However, there is more risk associated with these investments. These lower-rated bonds may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic conditions than investment grade bonds. Lower-rated securities tend to have more price volatility and carry more risk to principal than higher-rated securities.

The rating of long-term securities as a percentage of total value of investments at the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, were as follows (unaudited):

Standard & Poor's/ Moody's Ratings	Core Bond Fund			High Income Bond Fund			Total Return Bond Fund
AAA/Aaa		88.0	%		2.9	%		80.1	%
AA/Aa		1.9			-			1.0
A/A		1.8			-			5.3
BBB/Baa		8.3			4.1			9.2
BB/Ba		-			31.2			3.5
B/B		-			44.5			0.9
CCC/Caa		-			15.3			-
CC/Ca		-			0.3			-
C/C		-			0.1			-
NR		-			1.6			-

In the case of split ratings, a security is considered to be rated in the listed category if two of Moody's Investor Service, Standard & Poor's, and Fitch rate the security in that category. If ratings are provided by only two of those rating agencies, the lower rating is used. If only one of those rating agencies provides a rating, that rating is used.

8 >  Indemnifications

The funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

9 >  Investment Strategy Changes and Name Change for Corporate Bond Fund

On March 7, 2005, the funds' board of directors approved a number of changes to the investment strategies of Corporate Bond Fund and a corresponding change of the fund's name to Total Return Bond Fund. These changes took effect on May 16, 2005.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Board of Directors of the Funds (the "Board"), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, oversees the management of each Fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Funds' advisory agreement with U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM").

At a meeting on May 3-5 2005, the Board considered information relating to the Funds' investment advisory agreement with USBAM (the "Agreement"). In advance of the meeting, the Board received materials relating to the Agreement, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. At a subsequent meeting on June 20-22, 2005, the Board concluded its consideration of and approved the Agreement through June 30, 2006.

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

Although the Agreement, which is with First American Investment Funds, Inc., relates to all of the Funds, the Board separately considered and approved the Agreement with respect to each Fund. In considering the Agreement, the Board, advised by independent legal counsel, reviewed and considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of USBAM's services to the Fund, (2) the investment performance of the Fund, (3) the profitability of USBAM related to the Fund, including an analysis of USBAM's cost of providing services and comparative expense information, (4) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels are adjusted to enable Fund investors to share in these economies of scale, and (5) other benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the Funds. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board's decision to approve the Agreement.

Before approving the Agreement, the Board met in executive session with its independent counsel on numerous occasions to consider the materials provided by USBAM and the terms of the Agreement. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board concluded that the Agreement is fair and in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered the following:

Nature, Quality and Extent of Investment Advisory Services

The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by USBAM to each Fund. The Board reviewed USBAM's key personnel who provide investment management services to each Fund as well as the fact that, under the Agreement, USBAM has the authority and responsibility to make and execute investment decisions for each Fund within the framework of that Fund's investment policies and restrictions, subject to review by the Board. The Board further considered that USBAM's duties with respect to each Fund include (i) investment research and security selection, (ii) adherence to (and monitoring compliance with) the Fund's investment policies and restrictions and the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (iii) monitoring the performance of the various organizations providing services to the Fund, including the Fund's distributor, sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian. Finally, t he Board considered USBAM's representation that the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement are the type of services customarily provided by investment advisors in the fund industry.

The Board also considered compliance reports about USBAM from the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer.

Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that each Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by USBAM under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Funds

The Board considered the performance of each Fund, as summarized below, including how the Fund performed versus the median performance of a group of comparable funds selected by an independent data service (the "performance universe") and how the Fund performed versus its benchmark index. The Board also considered that, in reviewing the comparative performance of income funds, the different expense levels of a fund's share classes can result in different net performance results for each of those classes. Thus, while the Board considered the performance of all classes, it focused on Class Y shares, which, because they have the lowest expense ratios, offered the most meaningful data on performance alone. The performance periods reviewed by the Board all ended on February 28, 2005.

Core Bond Fund. The Fund's Class Y shares outperformed the Fund's performance universe for the one- and five-year periods. The Class Y shares underperformed the performance universe for the three- and five year periods and the benchmark index for all periods. The Board noted that the Fund's performance had improved since a new, team-based sector specialist management model was implemented by USBAM in early 2003. The Board concluded that, in light of the change to the fixed-income model implemented in 2003, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement, but to continue to closely monitor the performance record being developed under the changed model.

High Income Bond Fund. The Fund outperformed its performance universe for the one- and three-year periods. In addition, for the one-year period, the Fund's Class Y shares outperformed the Fund's benchmark index, though they underperformed it for

FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2005

87

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS September 30, 2005 (unaudited)

the three-year period. The Board concluded that, in light of the strong performance compared to the performance universe and benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Inflation Protected Securities Fund. The Board did not receive any comparative performance information from the independent data service because the Fund had not been offered for a full calendar year.

Intermediate Government Bond Fund. The Fund's Class Y shares outperformed the Fund's benchmark index for the one-year period and for the period since the Fund's inception in October 2002. While the Board considered that, for the one-year period, the Fund underperformed its performance universe, the Board also noted USBAM's assertion that the Fund has a stricter investment policy than that of its peers. As a result, the Fund can investment only in U.S. Treasury securities and certain state tax-exempt agency securities, whereas most of the Fund's peers also may invest in mortgage-backed securities. Thus, USBAM asked that the Board give more weight to the Fund's performance compared to that of its benchmark index. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's strong performance compar ed to that of its benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Intermediate Term Bond Fund. The Fund outperformed its performance universe for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Fund also outperformed its benchmark index for the one-year period (though it underperformed its benchmark index for the longer periods). The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's strong performance compared to its performance universe and its recent strong performance versus its benchmark index, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Short Term Bond Fund. The Fund's Class Y shares outperformed the performance universe for the three-, five- and ten-year periods (although they did not outperform the universe for the one-year period). The Fund underperformed its benchmark index for each of the periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the long-term performance compared to that of the performance universe, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Total Return Bond Fund. The Fund outperformed its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods. In addition, the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the one-year period, although it underperformed the index for the other periods. The Board noted that, effective May 13, 2005, the Fund changed its name from Corporate Bond Fund to Total Return Bond Fund. In conjunction with that change, the Fund changed its investment strategies and benchmark. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund's strong performance compared to its performance universe, its recent out-performance of the benchmark index and in light of the recent changes to the Fund's investment strategies, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement. The Board al so concluded it would continue to monitor the Fund's performance record as it operates pursuant to the changed investment strategies.

U.S. Government Mortgage Fund. The Fund's Class Y shares outperformed the Fund's performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Fund underperformed its performance universe for the ten-year period and underperformed its benchmark index for all periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the competitive performance compared that of the performance universe, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement. The Board also concluded that it would continue to closely monitor the performance of this Fund compared to that of its benchmark index.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by USBAM

The Board reviewed USBAM's estimated costs in serving as the Funds' investment manager, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage each Fund. The Board also considered the reported profitability of USBAM and its affiliates resulting from their relationship with each Fund. For each Fund, the Board reviewed fee and expense information as compared to that of other funds and accounts managed by USBAM and of comparable funds managed by other advisers. The Board found that while the management fees for USBAM's institutional separate accounts are lower than the Funds' management fees, the Funds receive additional services from USBAM that separate accounts do not receive.

Using information provided by an independent data service, the Board also evaluated each Fund's advisory fee compared to the median advisory fee for other mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy, and each Fund's expense

ratio after waivers compared to the median expense ratio, after waivers, of comparable funds. In connection with its review of Fund fees and expenses, the Board asked USBAM to articulate its pricing philosophy. USBAM responded that it attempts generally to maintain each Fund's total operating expenses at a level that approximates its peer group median expense ratio. In addition, USBAM committed to waive its investment advisory fees to the extent necessary to maintain the Funds' total expense ratios at levels generally in line with their respective peer groups. Consistent with this pricing philosophy, and after discussions with the Board, USBAM proposed changes to the advisory fees and expense ratios of certain Funds, as discussed in more detail below. The Board concluded that USBAM's pricing philosophy is a reasonable one and, after taking into account USBAM's proposed changes to advisory fees and expens e ratios, that the Funds' advisory fees and expense ratios are reasonable in light of the services provided. Further detail considered by the Board regarding the advisory fees and expense ratios of each Fund is set forth below:

Core Bond Fund. The Fund's contractual advisory fee equaled the peer group median advisory fee and, after waivers, the Fund's advisory fee was lower than the peer group median. Furthermore, the Fund had a total expense ratio after waivers that was lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are reasonable in light of the services provided.

High Income Bond Fund. After waivers, the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio were lower than the peer group median. (Without waivers, the advisory fee was higher than the median). The Board considered USBAM's proposal to change the expense cap for the Fund from 1.00% to 1.10%. The Board noted that, even with this new expense cap, the Fund's total expense ratio for its last fiscal year would have continued to be competitive with the peer group median expense ratio of 1.08%. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account the expense cap increase, are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Inflation Protected Securities Fund. The Fund's advisory fee was lower than the peer group median advisory fee, both before and after waivers. Further, the Fund's total expense ratio after waivers was lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Intermediate Government Bond Fund. The Fund's contractual advisory fee equaled the peer group median advisory fee and, after waivers, the Fund's advisory fee was lower than the peer group median. Further, the Fund had a total expense ratio after waivers that was lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Intermediate Term Bond Fund. The Fund's advisory fee was lower than the peer group median advisory fee, both before and after waivers. Further, the Fund's total expense ratio after waivers was lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Short Term Bond Fund. Although the Fund's contractual advisory fee was higher than its peer group median advisory fee, after waivers, the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio were lower than the peer group median. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Total Return Bond Fund. After waivers, the Fund's advisory fee was slightly lower than the peer group median. (Without the waiver it was higher). Though the Fund's total expense ratio after waivers was close to the peer group median, USBAM proposed to (1) contractually reduce its advisory fee from 0.70% to 0.60% and (2) decrease the amount of its expense waiver for the Fund by 0.10%. The Board considered that, implemented together, USBAM's proposals resulted in no net change to the Fund's total expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio, after taking into account USBAM's proposals, are reasonable in light of the services provided.

U.S. Government Mortgage Fund. The Fund's advisory fee was lower than the peer group median advisory fee, both before and after waivers. Further, the Fund's total expense ratio after waivers was lower than the peer group median expense ratio. The Board concluded that the Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Economies of Scale in Providing Investment Advisory Services

The Board considered the extent to which each Fund's investment advisory fee reflects economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Based on information provided by USBAM, the Board noted that profitability will likely increase somewhat as assets grow over time. The Board considered that, although the Funds do not have advisory fee breakpoints in place, USBAM has committed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary to keep each Fund's total expenses generally in line with the median total expenses of a peer group of funds as selected by an independent data service. The median total expense ratio of a Fund's peer group will necessarily reflect the effect of any breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules of the funds in that group. Therefore, by capping a Fund's total expense ratio at a level close to the median, Fund shareholders will effectively receive the benefit of any breakpoints in the comparable funds' advisory fee schedules. In light of USBAM's commitment to keep total Fund expenses competitive, the Board concluded that it would be reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Other Benefits to USBAM

In evaluating the benefits that accrue to USBAM through its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that USBAM and certain of its affiliates serve the Funds in various capacities, including as adviser, administrator, sub-administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian and securities lending agent, and receive compensation from the Funds in connection with providing services to the Funds. The Board considered that each service provided to the Funds by USBAM or one of its affiliates is pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically as required by law.

After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that approval of the Agreement was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.

(e)(1) The audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures pursuant to paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are set forth below:

Audit Committee policy regarding pre-approval of services provided by the Independent Auditor

The Audit Committee of the First American Funds (“Committee”) has responsibility for ensuring that all services performed by the independent audit firm for the funds do not impair the firm’s independence. This review is intended to provide reasonable oversight without removing management from its responsibility for day-to-day operations. In this regard, the Committee should:

• Understand the nature of the professional services expected to be provided and their impact on auditor independence and audit quality

• Examine and evaluate the safeguards put into place by the Company and the auditor to safeguard independence

• Meet quarterly with the partner of the independent audit firm

• Consider approving categories of service that are not deemed to impair independence for a one-year period

It is important that a qualitative rather than a mere quantitative evaluation be performed by the Committee in discharging its responsibilities.

Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds

On an annual basis, the Committee will review and consider whether to pre-approve the financial plan for audit fees as well as categories of audit-related and non-audit services that may be performed by the funds’ independent audit firm directly for the funds. At least annually the Committee will receive a report from the independent audit firm of all audit and non-audit services, which were approved during the year.

The engagement of the independent audit firm for any non-audit service requires the written pre-approval of the Treasurer of the funds and all non-audit services performed by the independent audit firm will be disclosed in the required SEC periodic filings.

In connection with the Committee review and pre-approval responsibilities, the review by the Committee will consist of the following:

Audit Services

The categories of audit services and related fees to be reviewed and considered for pre-approval annually by the Committee or its delegate include the following:

• Annual Fund financial statement audits

• Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)

• SEC and regulatory filings and consents

Audit-related Services

In addition, the following categories of audit-related services are deemed to be consistent with the role of the independent audit firm and, as such, will be considered for pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate, on an annual basis.

• Accounting consultations

• Fund merger support services

• Other accounting related matters

• Agreed Upon Procedure Reports

• Attestation Reports

• Other Internal Control Reports

Notwithstanding any annual pre-approval of these categories of services, individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $25,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair or its delegate on a case-by-case basis. Individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $50,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate on a case-by-case basis.

Tax Services

The following categories of tax services are deemed to be consistent with the role of the independent audit firm and, as such, will be considered for pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate, on an annual basis.

• Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following:

• Federal, state and local income tax compliance, and

• Sales and use tax compliance

• Timely RIC qualification reviews

• Tax distribution analysis and planning

• Tax authority examination services

• Tax appeals support services

• Accounting methods studies

• Fund merger support services

• Tax consulting services and related projects

Notwithstanding any annual pre-approval of these categories of services, individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $25,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair or its delegate on a case-by-case basis. Individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $50,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate on a case-by-case basis.

Other Non-audit Services

The SEC auditor independence rules adopted in response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act specifically allow certain non-audit services. Because of the nature of these services, none of these services may be commenced by the independent audit firm without the prior approval of the Committee. The Committee may delegate this responsibility to one or more of the Committee members, with the decisions presented to the full Committee at the next scheduled meeting.

Proscribed Services

In accordance with SEC rules on independence, the independent audit firm is prohibited from performing services in the following categories of non-audit services:

• Management functions

• Accounting and bookkeeping services

• Internal audit services

• Financial information systems design and implementation

• Valuation services supporting the financial statements

• Actuarial services supporting the financial statements

• Executive recruitment

• Expert services (e.g., litigation support)

• Investment banking

Policy for Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities within the Investment Company Complex

The Committee is also responsible for pre-approving certain non-audit services provided to U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc., U.S. Bank N.A., Quasar Distributors, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC and any other entity under common control with U.S. Bancorp Asset Management,��Inc., that provides ongoing services to the funds. The only non-audit services provided to these entities which require pre-approval are those services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the funds.

Although the Committee is not required to pre-approve all services provided to U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. and other affiliated service providers, the Committee will annually receive a report from the independent audit firm on the aggregate fees for all services provided to U.S. Bancorp and affiliates.

(e)(2) All of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item 4 that were provided to the registrant on or after May 6, 2003, the effective date of SEC rules relating to the pre-approval of non-audit services, were pre-approved by the audit committee.

(f) All services performed on the engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end were performed by the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by E&Y to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, totaled $144,841 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 and $181,918 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, including services provided prior to May 6, 2003, the effective date of SEC rules relating to the pre-approval of non-audit services.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, that were not pre-approved and that were rendered on or after May 6, 2003 (the effective date of SEC rules relating to the pre-approval of non-audit services), is compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence.
