LETTER FROM THE CHAIR (UNAUDITED)
August 24, 2015
Dear Fellow IPAIT Participants:
The Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) is pleased to submit the Diversified Portfolio Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2015.
About the Report
While IPAIT's financial statements and the related financial data contained in this report have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and have been audited by IPAIT's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, KPMG LLP, the ultimate accuracy and validity of this information is the responsibility of the management of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust Board of Trustees. To carry out this responsibility, the Board of Trustees maintains financial policies, procedures, accounting systems and internal controls which the Board believes provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that accurate financial records are maintained and investment assets are safeguarded.
In addition, the three ex-officio non-voting trustees meet with the Program's service providers and legal counsel to review all aspects of IPAIT performance each month. The Board of Trustees meets quarterly to similarly review Program performance and compliance. In addition, the IPAIT Board of Trustees regularly subjects IPAIT to a comprehensive review of all services and costs of operation.
In the Board's opinion, IPAIT's internal controls are adequate to ensure that the financial information in this report presents fairly the IPAIT Diversified Portfolio operations and financial condition.
The Federal Reserve has continued to keep interest rates at historically low levels targeting 0.00-0.25 percent since December 16, 2008. During this period, the IPAIT Diversified Portfolio maintained yields comparable to other money market funds. For a detailed review of the Fund, please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Investment Commentary from IPAIT’s Investment Adviser in this report.
Investment Policies and Strategies
IPAIT was created pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 28E in 1987 to enable eligible Iowa public agencies to effectively invest their available operating and reserve funds in a competitive rate environment,that focuses on safety of principal and liquidity. The Diversified Portfolio has followed established money market mutual fund investment parameters designed to maintain a $1 per unit net asset value since inception.
Investment Safeguards
The Fund continues to be focused on the investment objectives as stated in the IPAIT Investment Policy. These goals, in order of priority are: safety of invested principal, maintenance of liquidity, and maximum yield. Within these objectives, the Fund strives to provide participants with the best available rate of return for legally authorized investments. All security settlements within the Fund are settled on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis. DVP settlements greatly reduce the possibility of inappropriate transmission of funds or securities.
Reliability of Investment Section
All commentary and displays in the Investment Section were prepared by IPAIT's service provider, Miles Capital, the program's Investment Adviser, Administrative Services provider, and Program Support provider. Miles Capital has provided services to the IPAIT program since the program's inception in 1987. All services provided by IPAIT to participants are subject to rigorous and regular verification.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR (UNAUDITED)
Miles Capital and IPAIT have designed internal controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to the principal executive officers, David Miles (Chief Executive Officer), Gwen Gosselink (Chief Compliance Officer), and Amy Mitchell (Chief Financial Officer), respectively during the reporting period for the semi-annual and annual report to shareholders. These individuals are required to report any deficiencies and any actual or alleged fraud to the Fund Auditor and to the Executive Committee immediately upon discovery.
Participant Meetings
IPAIT had a participant meeting during the fiscal year with two proposals considered, election of the Board of Trustees and the selection of program auditors. Details of the meeting results and proposal responses can be found later in this report.
Summary
On behalf of IPAIT's Board of Trustees, sponsoring associations and service providers, we thank you for your continued support of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust. We encourage you to contact us with comments and suggestions regarding any improvements to the operation of IPAIT. Your involvement in IPAIT is essential in its ability to provide a competitive investment alternative, and ongoing program opportunities for association members.
As we begin Fiscal Year 2015-2016, IPAIT will continue to be guided by its objectives of safety of principal, liquidity, and competitive return. In addition, IPAIT will be an excellent resource as a user-friendly investment alternative and also an educational resource. The website provides monthly updates as well as access to the secure IPASonline system. We collectively pledge to continue working together to provide a viable investment option for every participant.
Respectfully,

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Unitholders
Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of the Diversified Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (the Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2015, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and the standards applicable to financial statement audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2015, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Diversified Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust as of June 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated August 24, 2015 on our consideration of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audits.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that the management’s discussion and analysis on pages 11-13 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries with management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)
This section of the IPAIT Diversified Portfolio’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report presents management’s discussion and analysis of the financial position and results of operations as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 (FY 15) and 2014 (FY 14). This information is being presented to provide additional information regarding the activities of IPAIT, pursuant to the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments, Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures (Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the basic financial statements of IPAIT’s Diversified Portfolio.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis provides an introduction to and overview of the basic financial statements of IPAIT’s Diversified Portfolio. The following components comprise the financial statements: 1) Schedule of Investments, 2) Statement of Net Assets, 3) Statements of Operations, 4) Statements of Changes in Net Assets, and 5) Notes to Financial Statements.
The Schedule of Investments lists each security held by the portfolio as of the date of current fiscal year end.The Statement of Net Assets shows the financial position (assets and liabilities) of the portfolio as of the date of the current fiscal year end.
The Statements of Operations display the results of operations (income and expenses) of the portfolio for the two most recent fiscal years.
The Statements of Changes in Net Assets display the results of additions (net investment income, unit sales, and reinvestments) and deductions (dividends and unit redemptions) of the portfolio for the two most recent fiscal years.
The Notes to Financial Statements describe significant accounting policies and disclose summary security transaction amounts of the portfolio and other information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Year-over-year changes in most financial statement amounts reported in IPAIT’s Diversified Portfolio are most significantly impacted by the level of average net assets (which fluctuates based on the overall levels of pool participant/unitholder invested balances). The pool is the portfolio. Additionally, changes in the short-term interest rate environment (which follows the general trend established by monetary policy set by the Federal Reserve) contribute to year-over-year variances in the amount of investment income earned by the portfolio. Over the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee did not change the Fed Funds target rate from a range of zero to 0.25 percent. The Fed Funds target rate was set from a range of zero to 0.25 percent on December 16, 2008.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)
Condensed financial information and variance explanations for FY 15, as compared to FY 14, follow.
| | | | | |
| | | Percent | | |
Net Assets | June 30, 2015 | | Change | | June 30, 2014 |
Total investments | $ 297,073,026 | | -6% | | $ 315,533,953 |
Excess of other assets over total liabilities | 124,178 | | 183% | | 43,919 |
Net assets held in trust for pool participants | 297,197,204 | | -6% | | 315,577,872 |
| | | | | |
Average Net Assets | $ 315,975,161 | | -20% | | $ 394,178,911 |
Total investments and net assets decreased 6 percent, comparing June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 amounts. During FY 15, average net assets decreased 20 percent to $315,975,161 from average net assets of $394,178,911 during FY 14. The increase in other assets over liabilities during FY 15 was due to interest receivable at June 30, 2015.
| | | | | |
| | | Percent | | |
Change in Net Assets for the years ended | June 30, 2015 | | Change | | June 30, 2014 |
Investment Income | $ 591,038 | | 15% | | $ 512,932 |
Total Net Expenses | (559,441) | | 18% | | (473,387) |
Dividends to unitholders from net investment income | (31,597) | | -21% | | (39,545) |
Net decrease in net assets | (18,380,668) | | 87% | | (140,119,443) |
Net assets at beginning of year | 315,577,872 | | -31% | | 455,697,315 |
| | | | | |
Net assets at end of year | $ 297,197,204 | | -6% | | $ 315,577,872 |
| | | | | |
Investment income increased 15 percent mainly due to higher short term rates from investments in the ICS, Insured Cash Sweep program. Dividends to unitholders from net investment income decreased 21 percent during FY 15 compared to FY 14 due to lower average net assets. During the 12-month periods in FY 15 and FY 14, the Fed Funds target rate remained at a range from zero to 0.25 percent. The Fed Funds target rate is an economic indicator for short-term investments and has been at the same zero to 0.25 percent level since December 2008. Total net expenses are derived based on net assets held by the Fund and the effect of any fee waivers in place. These expenses increased 18 percent during FY 15 compared to FY 14 due to a reduction in the percentage of fees waived by service providers.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) is a common law trust established under Iowa law pursuant to Chapter 28E and Sections 331.555 and 384.21, Iowa Code (1987), as amended, which authorizes Iowa public agencies to jointly invest monies pursuant to a joint investment agreement. IPAIT is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as required by Iowa Statute and files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Regulation S-X. IPAIT was established by the adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust as of October 1, 1987, and commenced operations on November 13, 1987. The Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust was amended September 1, 1988, May 1, 1993, and again on September 1, 2005. The accompanying financial statements include activities of the Diversified Portfolio. The objective of the portfolio is to maintain a high degree of liquidity and safety of principal through investment in short-term securities as permitted for Iowa public agencies under Iowa law. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo) serves as the Custodian, and Miles Capital, Inc. (Miles Capital) serves as the Investment Adviser, Administrator, and Program Support Provider.
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 amounts of net investment income during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
IPAIT is exposed to various risks in connection with operation of the Diversified Portfolio and adheres to policies which attempt to mitigate market risk in the portfolio and maintains insurance coverage for fidelity and errors and omissions exposures. IPAIT has had no claims or settlements under its insurance coverage since its organization in 1987.
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
The Diversified Portfolio consists of cash and short-term investments valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This involves valuing a portfolio security at its original cost on the date of purchase, and thereafter amortizing any premium or discount on the interest method. Investment policies are followed to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit for the portfolio.
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, including the accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued daily as earned.
IPAIT is authorized by investment policy and statute to invest public funds in obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at federally insured Iowa depository institutions approved and secured pursuant to Chapter 12B of the Code of Iowa; and repurchase agreements, provided that the underlying collateral consists of obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and that IPAIT’s custodian takes delivery of the collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian.
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is IPAIT’s policy that the underlying collateral securities value exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest at all times. If the seller were to default on its repurchase obligation and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by IPAIT may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2015 and 2014, the securities purchased under overnight agreements to resell were collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Securities with a fair value of $97,713,064 and of $157,884,781, respectively with maturities ranging from 02/23/15 to 06/20/44.
Certificates of Deposit and Deposit Accounts up to $250,000 are insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Company (FDIC). For public funds deposited in Iowa financial institutions in excess of the FDIC insurance, the local financial institution must comply with Iowa Code Section 12c.22 to ensure appropriate collateralization. As of June 30, 2015, public funds invested in Certificates of Deposit and Public Fund Deposit Accounts not covered by FDIC insurance were $54,524,701. Public funds not covered by FDIC or collateralization are covered by the state sinking fund in accordance with Chapter 12C of the Code of Iowa, which provides for additional assessments against depositories to ensure there will be no loss of public funds.
CDARS, the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, is a network of banks offering Certificates of Deposit below the standard FDIC insurance maximum so that principal and interest are eligible for full FDIC insurance. As of June 30, 2015, the portfolio held $12,500,000 in the CDARS program.
18
ICS, the Insured Cash Sweep service, is a network of banks offering demand deposit accounts below the standard FDIC insurance maximum so that principal and interest are eligible for full FDIC insurance. As of June 30, 2015, the portfolio held $97,063,479 in the ICS program.
Under Governmental Accounting Standards as to custodial credit risk, IPAIT's investments in securities in the Diversified Portfolio held securities whose S&P credit ratings were 11.1 percent AA+, 56.7 percent not rated (representing all Certificates of Deposit and Deposit Accounts from Iowa financial institutions guaranteed by the FDIC or the state of Iowa sinking fund) and 32.2 percent NA. Securities which are not rated or carry an NA rating are securities guaranteed or issued by government-sponsored entities which are deemed to carry the equivalent of A1+/P1 ratings by the IPAIT Board of Trustees or are repurchase agreements as defined above.
Management attempts to limit the Diversified Portfolio’s exposure to interest rate risk and believes this is addressed by the fact that securities are limited under Rule 2a-7 as well as by investment policy and statute to investments of high quality with durations not to exceed 397 days. Hence it is not expected that any significant change in market interest rates would present long-term risk to the Diversified Portfolio.
UNIT ISSUES, REDEMPTIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
IPAIT determines the net asset value of the Diversified Portfolio daily. Units are issued and redeemed daily at the daily net asset value. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and distributed monthly.
INCOME TAXES
IPAIT is exempt from both state and federal income taxes pursuant to Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code.
FEES AND EXPENSES
Under separate agreements with IPAIT, Miles Capital and Wells Fargo are paid an annual fee for operating the investment program. Effective March 15, 2010, Miles, Wells Fargo, and the public agency associations agreed to waive fees in order for the Diversified Portfolio to pay a net yield no lower than 0.0775 percent to participants. On April 06, 2010, Miles, Wells Fargo, and the public agency associations agreed to waive fees in order for the Diversified Portfolio to pay a net yield no lower than 0.05 percent to participants. On July 7, 2011, Miles, Wells Fargo, and the public agency associations agreed to waive fees in order for the Diversified Portfolio to pay a net yield no lower than 0.01 percent to participants. The total fee may vary each day based on the gross yield earned. These waivers are voluntary and may end at any time with no recovery of previously waived fees.
Miles Capital receives 0.190 percent of the average daily net asset value up to $150 million, 0.160 percent from $150 to $250 million, and 0.130 percent exceeding $250 million for investment adviser and administrative fees. In addition, Miles Capital receives 0.060 percent of the average daily net asset value for program support fees. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Diversified Portfolio paid $329,003 and $280,676, respectively, to Miles Capital for services provided net of waivers. During the year ended June 30, 2015, on various and multiple days, Miles Capital voluntarily waived a portion of the fees. Future waivers may not be required and are determined on market yields and other market considerations.
Wells Fargo receives 0.030 percent of the average daily net asset value of the portfolio for custody fees. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Diversified Portfolio paid $43,270 and $38,171, respectively, to Wells Fargo for services provided net of waivers. During the year ended June 30, 2015, on various and multiple days, Wells Fargo voluntarily waived a portion of the fees. Future waivers may not be required and are determined on market yields and other market considerations.
Under a distribution plan the public agency associations collectively receive an annual fee of 0.075 percent of the average daily net asset value for sponsorship fees. For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Diversified Portfolio paid $64,023 and $62,797 to the Iowa League of Cities, $28,266 and $21,999 to the Iowa State Association of Counties, and $15,886 and $10,617 to the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities, respectively, net of waivers. During the year ended June 30, 2015, on various and multiple days, the public agency associations voluntarily waived a portion of the fees. Future waivers may not be required and are determined on market yields and other market considerations.
IPAIT is responsible for other fees and expenses incurred directly by IPAIT. The other fees and expenses accrual is 0.025 percent of the average daily net asset value, and totaled $78,994 and $59,127 for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, net of waivers. During the year ended June 30, 2015, on various and multiple days, the Diversified Portfolio voluntarily waived a portion of the other fees and expense accrual. Future waivers may not be required and are determined on market yields and other market considerations. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to Level 3 measurements. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels as described below:
Level 1 –
quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
Level 2 –
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotations obtained from pricing services); or
Level 3 –
significant unobservable inputs (including IPAIT’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.)
Securities in the Diversified Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These approximate fair values are all considered level 2 valuations. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the years ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.
(2)
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
Purchases of portfolio securities for the Diversified Portfolio aggregated $33,160,996,431 and $42,261,491,072 for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Proceeds from the maturity and sale of securities for the Diversified Portfolio aggregated $33,179,295,344 and $42,413,807,667 for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
(3) DIRECT GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS PORTFOLIO
In 2010, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution ceasing the investment operations of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio and transferring assets to the Diversified Portfolio. The transfer was facilitated through Rule 17a-7 at fair value. The Portfolio remains available for future investment if IPAIT participants should request it in the future.
(4) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
IPAIT has evaluated the effects of events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2015, and there have been no material events that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO (UNAUDITED)
INTRODUCTION
The IPAIT Diversified Portfolio (the “Fund”) is a short-term investment pool of high-quality money market instruments. The Fund has been registered since May of 1993 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. It is operated in accordance with 17 C.F.R. Section 270.2a-7 (Rule 2a-7). The Fund has complied voluntarily with all Rule 2a-7 money market fund operating guidelines from inception.
The Fund is made up of a professionally managed portfolio of U.S. government and federal agency securities, certificates of deposit issued by Iowa financial institutions, public fund deposit accounts, public fund savings accounts, and perfected repurchase agreements, the latter collateralized by U.S. government and federal agency securities. The Fund is typically used for the investment of public funds subject to the Iowa public funds statutory provisions invested by a participant unless other participant-specific investment restrictions exist.

The Fund has been managed by Miles Capital, IPAIT’s West Des Moines, Iowa-based investment adviser, since inception. Aggregate cash flows are monitored daily and compared to respective Fund cash flow patterns of previous periods. Fund cash flow patterns throughout the fiscal period, as compared to previous years, have traditionally been repetitive. Over twenty-five years of operating history create a very helpful tool to gauge necessary pool liquidity needs.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of invested principal and provision of adequate liquidity to meet participants’ daily cash flow needs. As a general policy, all purchased securities will be held until they mature. Summaries of all security trades for the Fund are provided quarterly to the IPAIT Board of Trustees for review.
The Fund actively monitors rates offered by Iowa financial institutions for public fund certificates of deposit and savings accounts. Institutions experiencing strong loan demand typically offer rates that are at or above those available for marketable securities, presenting a helpful portfolio investment alternative.

The Fund accrues interest income daily and pays accrued income monthly to participant accounts. Interest is paid on the first business day of the month following accrual. Daily income amounts and investment returns are calculated using the interest method. Under this method, a security is initially valued at cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, any premium or discount is amortized using the interest method.
The IPAIT Adviser values the Fund’s portfolio weekly at current fair value, based upon actual market quotations. The Fund’s current market valuation is compared to that Fund’s current amortized cost basis. In accordance with the established operating parameters of Rule 2a-7 and IPAIT’s internal controls and procedures, any deviation in net asset value based upon available market quotations from the Fund’s $1.00 amortized cost per unit is carefully monitored. Deviations may never exceed 0.5 percent. Illustrated above is the amortized cost versus market value per unit comparison for the past three fiscal years.

The Fund’s investment performance is regularly compared to three established benchmarks, the money market benchmark average rate for all registered Rule 2a-7 money market funds investing in U.S. government and federal agency securities and the Iowa Code Chapter 74A rate for 32-89, and 90-179 day certificates of deposit issued by Iowa financial institutions for public funds in the state.
DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO (CONT.) (UNAUDITED)
The Iowa Code Chapter 74A rates are distributed monthly by the state Treasurer’s office for various investment periods and are intended to be the minimum rates at which Iowa financial institutions can accept public funds for timed deposits. While a public body must commit funds for minimum periods of time to access Chapter 74A rates, IPAIT may offer rates at or above the Chapter 74A benchmarks with complete daily liquidity.
RISK PROFILE
The Fund is low in risk profile. Portfolio investments are limited to:
1. No single portfolio investment may exceed the 397 days to maturity as outlined in Rule 2a-7.
2. The weighted average maturity (WAM) of the portfolio may never exceed 60 days.
In addition to the above investment maturity restrictions, the Fund limits itself to U.S. government and federal agency securities, perfected repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government and federal agency securities, and Iowa financial institution certificates of deposit and Iowa depository accounts. This combination of those average maturities and extremely high-quality credit instruments provides eligible Iowa public fund investors with a safe, effective investment alternative.

As noted previously, the Fund carefully limits itself to high credit-quality securities. In addition, IPAIT monitors a broad array of economic indicators as well as activities of the Federal Reserve Board to be able to position the Fund’s WAM to take advantage of projected interest rate environments.
Distribution by Security Type as of June 30, 2015
IPAIT Diversified Portfolio
It is important to note that portfolio liquidity needs for IPAIT must control evaluation of alternative portfolio management opportunities at all times. For example, if historical cash flow analysis indicates that participants will need to withdraw funds, material extension of the Fund’s portfolio is not a viable alternative.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
FUND EXPENSES
It is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s investment income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015. The table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
1. Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
2. Based on hypothetical 5 percent return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a return of 5 percent before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5 percent return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Your fund does not carry a “sales load” or transaction fee. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios for the past five years, in the Financial Highlights section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the Information Statement.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The SAI has additional information about the Fund and is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-872-4024.
SCHEDULE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
A complete schedule of portfolio holdings is posted every month at IPAIT.org and is filed monthly with the SEC (Form N-MFP). Form N-Q (first and third quarters) and the semiannual and annual reports (second and fourth quarter) are available at www.sec.gov, or by phone at 800-SEC-0330, or by mail at Public Reference Section / SEC / Washington DC / 20549 (duplicating fee required) or upon request from IPAIT at 800-872-4024 or at IPAIT.org.
PROXY VOTING
The SEC requires an annual report of the proxy voting record of the Trust. Because the investments allowable under Iowa law restrict the investment for IPAIT to securities to which proxy voting does not apply, IPAIT does not have a proxy voting policy and will report no proxy votes on the Form N-PX. The law requires the filing of the Form N-PX, and this disclosure, even though the Form N-PX will contain no votes. Form N-PX is available at www.sec.gov, or by phone at 800-SEC-0330, or by mail at Public Reference Section SEC / Washington / DC / 20549 (duplicating fee required) or upon request from IPAIT at 800-872-4024.

INVESTMENT COMMENTARY (UNAUDITED)
Our Economy
Although Greece is dominating headlines today, the real story for investors is inflation and the Federal Reserve. The market and systemic risk of a Greek exit from the Eurozone is relatively limited, especially in comparison to the potential impact from a few short years ago. In 2012 when Greece last threatened to leave, market contagion through the banking system was a real concern. Today, Europe is much stronger given the efforts of the European Central Bank to generate growth and shore up the zone’s banking system, and these efforts are reflected in higher GDP and inflation metrics. So as Greece’s future hangs in the balance today, markets show a remarkable lack of volatility.
Domestically, investor focus has shifted to a stronger U.S. economy and a likely Fed rate hike in the second half of the year. Domestic GDP growth slowed again in the first quarter, but has rebounded and is expected to average 3.0% for the remainder of 2015. The housing market has remained surprisingly solid this year despite an increase in mortgage rates and this should translate into additional spending on durable goods. Also, growth in building permits, which is a leading indicator for housing activity, has accelerated and is currently at a seven year high.
Importantly, the Fed remains on track to raise rates in 2015 as the unemployment rate continues to fall toward a sustainable level, even as inflation remains stubbornly low. The Fed will not wait for core inflation to reach its target level of 2% but instead will look for evidence of nascent inflation pressure for justification to begin hiking rates. Indeed, there are already signs that wage pressures are building, including an increase in average hourly earnings, so we expect the Fed will have sufficient evidence later this year to begin the process of normalizing the interest rate environment.
But higher short rates should not limit economic growth nor should they shut down the equity markets. Instead, we expect Fed action to support continued expansion of the economy by confirming the growth story.
Money Market Funds
As money market reform continues to shape the industry, change is happening in many areas. The repo market continues to shrink and volatility of repo rates continues to rise. Variations of fund structure and new offerings are appearing. While we prepare for rising rates in 2015, we are also preparing for new opportunities to serve our participants. We welcome your partnership and look forward to innovating with you through this new environment.

2.
Futures and options contracts.
3.
Any security with a remaining maturity exceeding 397 days as provided in Rule 2a-7.

30
IPAIT INVESTMENT POLICY (UNAUDITED)
The following investment practices are prohibited:
1.
Trading of securities for speculation or the realization of short-term trading gains.
2.
Investing pursuant to a contract providing for the compensation of an agent or fiduciary based upon the performance of the invested assets.
3.

D. Management Policies and Procedures
Following are the fundamental management policies and procedures for IPAIT. All investments shall be maintained in separate IPAIT custodial accounts, segregated by Portfolio on behalf of IPAIT Participants.
1.
Each purchase or sale of a security must be handled on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis. Funds for the purchase of an investment shall not be released to the seller until the security is delivered to the IPAIT Custodian. Conversely, a sold security shall not be released to the buyer until funds for the purchase price of the security have been received by the IPAIT Custodian.
2.
“Free delivery” transactions are prohibited. The Custodian shall never release assets from the IPAIT custodial accounts until the funds for the investment are delivered.
3.
Any material deviation (greater than 0.5 percent) from the amortized cost of investments shall be promptly reported by the Adviser to the Board of Trustees. If such deviation exceeds 0.5 percent, the Adviser will consider what action, if any, should be initiated to reasonably eliminate or reduce material dilution or other unfair results to Participants. Such action may include redemption of Trust Units in kind, selling portfolio securities prior to maturity, withholding distributions or utilizing a net asset value per Trust Unit based upon available market quotations.
4.
The frequent trading of securities, including day trading for the purpose of realizing short-term gains, the purchase and sale of futures and options to buy or sell authorized investments, reverse repurchase agreements, and other similar speculative transactions are expressly prohibited.
5.
IPAIT may not make any investment other than Permitted Investments authorized by the provisions of the law applicable to the investment of funds by the Participants, as such laws may be amended from time to time.
6.
IPAIT may not purchase any Permitted Investment if the effect of such purchase by IPAIT would be to make the average dollar weighted maturity of a portfolio greater than sixty (60) days.
7.
IPAIT may not borrow money or incur indebtedness whether or not the proceeds thereof are intended to be used to purchase Permitted Investments.
8.
IPAIT may not make loans, provided that IPAIT may make Permitted Investments.
9.
IPAIT may not purchase securities or shares of investment companies or any entities similar to IPAIT.
The restrictions set forth above are fundamental to the operation and activities of IPAIT and may not be changed without the affirmative approval, in writing, of a majority of the Participants entitled to vote, except that such restrictions may be changed by the Trustees so as to make them more restrictive when necessary to confirm the investment program and activities of IPAIT to the laws of the State of Iowa and the United States of America as they may from time to time be amended.
The above investment restrictions shall not be changed without the vote of a majority of the Participants in a Portfolio. “Majority” means the lesser of (a) 67 percent of the Trust’s or a Portfolio’s outstanding Trust Units voting at a meeting of the Participants at which more than 50 percent of the outstanding Trust Units are represented in person or by proxy or (b) a majority of the Trust’s or a Portfolio’s outstanding Trust Units.
31

Any investment restrictions or limitations referred to above which involves a maximum percentage of securities or assets shall not be considered to be violated unless an excess over the percentage occurs immediately after an acquisition of securities or utilization of assets and results there from.
