Dear Fellow IPAIT Participants:
The Iowa Pubic Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) is pleased to submit to you the Diversified Fund and Direct Government Obligation
Fund (DGO) Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
IPAIT has been serving participants’ needs since 1987. Fiscal year 2003-2004 provided many challenges for our participants amidst this low rate environment. The IPAIT Diversified and DGO Funds maintained rates comparable to other money market funds during this time while being an educational resource for IPAIT participants. For a detailed review of the Funds, please refer to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of each Fund located in the Financial Section. IPAIT appreciates the efforts of the individuals involved in the preparation of this report.
Iowa Economy
Iowa’s economy has historically been characterized as slower growth in new jobs and lower personal income levels than the nation. However, the state’s economic stability has served as a source of strength over the course of economic cycles. Iowa has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the Midwest at 4.3 percent versus the nation at 5.6 percent. A natural cause is the dramatically lower level of historical population growth in Iowa at 5.3 percent versus the nation at 13.1 percent. Over the course of the year the unemployment rate has moved lower from 4.5 percent in June of 2003 to 4.4 percent in June of 2004. Most of the improvement in the unemployment rate has come in the finance sector of the economy.
Inflation across the Midwest remains in check. June 2004 year-over-year CPI – Urban figures indicate Midwest inflation growing at 2.7 percent versus the nation at 3.3 percent. An active Fed will assure inflation will stay in check.
Home construction is off this year in Iowa with respect to last year, primarily due to higher mortgage rates. New residential building permits rose three-fold from 2002 to 2003. However from 2003 to 2004, permits have declined by 60 percent, but still much higher than previous highs of 2002.
Commercial construction remains quite healthy in large urban areas across the state. This additional tax revenue will support future spending needs.
Overall, the Iowa economy is healthy. Budget woes from the recent recession have been muted as tax revenues have risen with the economic recovery. Smaller communities will continue to feel the pain of consolidating businesses and lower tax revenues. Job growth will remain spotty across the state as business prospects remain mixed.
Investment Policies and Strategies
IPAIT was created pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 28E in 1987 to enable eligible Iowa public agencies to invest their available operating and reserve funds in a competitive rate environment, safely and effectively. Both the Diversified and DGO Funds have followed established money market mutual fund investment parameters designed to maintain a $1 per unit net asset value since inception.
Investment Safeguards
Both Funds continue to be focused on their investment objectives as stated in the IPAIT Investment Policy. These goals, in order of priority are safety of invested principal, maintenance of adequate liquidity, and maximum yield. Within these objectives, each Fund strives to provide participants with the best available rates of return for legally authorized investments. All security settlements within either 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, IMG, the program’s Investment Advisor, Administrative Services Provider and Program Support Provider, and reviewed by KPMG LLP. IMG 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.

Schedule of Operations
For fiscal year 2003-2004 (FY 03/04) and fiscal year 2002-2003 (FY 02/03) total interest earned, total operating expenses and net investment income for the IPAIT Diversified and the DGO Funds were as follows:
| | Interest Earned | | Expenses | | Net Investment Income | |
| | | | | | | |
Diversified Fund | | | | | | | |
FY 03/04 | | $ | 2,680,795 | | $ | 1,202,977 | | $ | 1,477,818 | |
FY 02/03 | | $ | 4,035,199 | | $ | 1,503,506 | | $ | 2,531,693 | |
| | | | | | | |
DGO Fund | | | | | | | |
FY 03/04 | | $ | 520,560 | | $ | 255,306 | | $ | 265,254 | |
FY 02/03 | | $ | 1,074,831 | | $ | 416,758 | | $ | 658,073 | |
The decrease in the year-over-year interest income for both Funds is attributed to the low interest rate environment and fewer assets invested in the program. Expenses were less in FY 04 versus FY 03 due to a voluntary reduction in fees charged by the investment advisor and administrator. Each program operates pursuant to Service Provider agreements for all aspects of program operation. Every agreement specifies the fees to be charged for each component of IPAIT services.
Financial and operating highlights from this past year include:
• Receipt of a seventh consecutive Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
• Average combined daily investments in the Diversified and DGO Funds of $299,261,038 down from $340,627,139.68 in the last fiscal year.
• Placement of 39 portfolio certificates of deposit in Iowa financial institutions by the Diversified Fund representing over $22,250,000.
• An authorized membership total of 400 public bodies representing 182 municipalities, 78 counties, 81 municipal utilities, and 59 other eligible public agencies.
Total funds invested in the program’s investment alternatives peaked for the fiscal year at $429,059,131 on April 15, 2004.

The GFOA awarded a seventh consecutive Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award, recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR, whose contents conform to program standards. The CAFR must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current report continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement program requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA. IPAIT has adopted GASB Statement No. 34, Basis Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, as amended by Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and modified by Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures, (Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38) effective July 1, 2002. Adoption of Statement Nos., 34, 37, and 38 had no impact on the net assets of the Diversified and the DGO Funds of IPAIT. IPAIT’s annual report has added a section for Management’s Discussion and Analysis as required.
Participant Meeting
IPAIT registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an open end management investment company and money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) in May of 1993 in order to comply with Iowa laws relating to investments of public agencies. IPAIT is routinely examined by the SEC. At the July 12, 2004 Board of Trustees meeting, the Trustees determined to change the way in which they are elected to more closely track the requirements of the 1940 Act and called a meeting of the Participants. At this meeting the Participants were asked to elect the Trustees, approve KPMG as IPAIT’s independent auditors, approve a small change to IPAIT’s investment policies, approve the Advisor Agreement with IMG and approve IPAIT’s Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan which pays fees to the sponsoring associations. We thank all Participants which took the time to return their proxy cards.
The Diversified and DGO Funds were among the first local government investment pools in the country to do so and have been formally regulated by the SEC since that time. In 2004, the SEC conducted an exam of the Diversified and DGO Funds. Upon the SEC findings, the IPAIT Board voted to hold a proxy vote for: 1) Election of Directors, 2) Ratification of Selection of Auditors, 3) Approve Advisor Agreement with Investors Management Group (IMG), 4) Approve the IPAIT Plan under SEC Rule 12B-1, and 5) Change the Investment Policy to change the maximum maturity of securities held in the portfolio from 365 days to 397 days to be consistent with SEC Rule 2a-7 and Iowa statute. The annual shareholder meeting was held on August 24, 2004 and the Trustees’ ratified the proxy statement at the annual IPAIT board meeting on August 25, 2004. IPAIT's Investment Policy (enclosed on page 41) outlines the guidelines and requirements for investment decisions.
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 the Program. Your involvement in the Program is essential in IPAIT’s ability to provide competitive investment alternatives and ongoing education for our members.
As we begin fiscal year 2004-2005, IPAIT will continue to expand services within IPASonline, the Internet-based Participant Accounting System utilized by IPAIT. We strive to be a resource for you and your entities through our quarterly newsletters and webcasts. The www.IPAIT.org website provides monthly updates on the Program as well as access to the secure IPASonline system. We collectively pledge to continue working together to provide a safe source of interest income for every participant and to provide helpful, convenient cash management related information.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
TO IPAIT PARTICIPANTS:
While IPAIT’s Diversified Fund and DGO Fund financial statements and the related financial data contained in these CAFR have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and have been audited by IPAIT’s Independent Auditor, 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 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, IPAIT is regularly subjected to a comprehensive review of all services and costs of operation by the IPAIT Board of Trustees. In September 2003, the investment advisory and administration fee was voluntarily reduced by our service provider. In addition, the Board authorized waiving 2.5 basis points of administrative fees to help improve yield during this low interest rate environment. This year’s CAFR will be submitted to the GFOA for consideration for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting following receipt of a seventh consecutive Certificate of Achievement for the fiscal year ended June 2003 CAFR.
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 and DGO Fund operations and financial condition.
Sincerely, |
|
/s/ Robert Haug | |

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 Portfolio) as of June 30, 2004, and the related statements of operations for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and the financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Those standards require that we plan and perform our audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Investment securities held in custody are confirmed to us by the Custodian. 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.
As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2002, the Diversified Portfolio of the Trust adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and GASB Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Disclosures.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Diversified Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust at June 30, 2004, and the results of its operations for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, 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 presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The management’s discussion and analysis on pages 17 to 18 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
This section of the IPAIT Diversified Portfolio’s annual Financial Statements presents Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the financial position and results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 (FY 04). This information is being presented to provide additional information regarding the activities of the Authority, 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 Independent Auditor’s Report of KPMG LLP, the Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes.
In addition to the historical information, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis includes certain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. The actual results of IPAIT’s Diversified Portfolio may differ materially from the results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a wide range of factors including changes in general economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, and legislative changes.
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) Statement of Net Assets, 2) Statements of Operations, 3) Statements of Changes in Net Assets, 4) Financial Highlights, and 5) Notes to Financial Statements.
• 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 displays the results of operations (income and expenses) of the portfolio for the five most recent fiscal years.
• The Statements of Changes in Net Assets portray participant/unitholder activity (distributions, sales, reinvestments, redemptions) of the portfolio for the two most recent fiscal years.
• The Financial Highlights depict per share/per unit information (net investment income, dividends distributed, net asset value, total return, ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets) and summary total net assets of the portfolio for the five most recent fiscal years.
• The Notes to Financial Statements describe significant accounting policies and disclose summary security transaction amounts of the portfolio.

Year-to-year variances 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 participant/unitholder invested balances). 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.
During FY 04, average net assets decreased 7.44 percent to $248,770,769 from average net assets of $268,772,324 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 (FY 03) for the Diversified Portfolio. While overnight rates remained stable at 1.00 percent through most of FY 04, one-year rates rose dramatically as the economic recovery became reality. The Federal Reserve raised the overnight rate in late June 2004 to 1.25 percent. The one-year rate gradually drifted upward during the first part of the year from 1.12 percent and shifted upward dramatically during the months of April, May and June to 2.33 percent, once the employment numbers began to firm up.

Units Sold | | 941,862,304 | | 912,307,966 | | 3.24 | % |
Units Redeemed | | 933,547,063 | | 923,762,855 | | 1.06 | % |
Total investments and net assets increased 3.76 percent and 4.00 percent, respectively, comparing June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 amounts, due to excess of units sold versus units redeemed in FY 04 and the reinvestment of investment income that resulted in higher aggregate participant balances at FY 04. Investment income and net investment income decreased 33.56 percent and 41.63 percent, respectively, during FY 04 compared to FY 03 primarily due to the lower interest rate environment. Total expenses decreased 19.99 percent during FY 04 compared to FY 03 due to a reduction of both investment advisory and administrative fees. During FY 04 compared to FY 03, units sold and redeemed increased 3.24 percent and 1.06 percent, respectively, caused by an increase in participant transactions. Participant transactions increased due to the participants depositing money in the portfolio until they were able to determine their cash flow needs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) is a common law trust established under Iowa law pursuant to Chapter 28E and Sections 331.555 and 384.21, Iowa Code (1987), as amended, which authorizes Iowa public agencies to jointly invest monies pursuant to a joint investment agreement. IPAIT is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. IPAIT was established by the adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust as of October 1, 1987, and commenced operations on November 13, 1987. The Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust was amended September 1, 1988, and again on May 1, 1993. As amended, IPAIT is authorized to operate and now operates investment programs, one of which is the Diversified Portfolio. 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 Investors Management Group (IMG) serves as the Investment Adviser, Administrator and Program Support Provider.
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.
In reporting financial activity, IPAIT applies applicable Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements, as well as all Financial Accounting Standards Board and predecessor statements and interpretations not in conflict with GASB pronouncements.
IPAIT has adopted GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, as amended by Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and modified by Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures, (Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38) effective July 1, 2002. Adoption of Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38 had no impact on the net assets of the Diversified Portfolio of IPAIT. The Statements require IPAIT to add a section for Management’s Discussion and Analysis as supplementary information to precede the financial statements and can be located on page 17.
IPAIT is exposed to various risks in connection with operation of the Diversified Portfolio and adheres to policies which mitigate market risk in the portfolio and maintains insurance coverage for fidelity and errors and omissions exposures. IPAIT has had no claims or settlements under its insurance coverage since its organization in 1987.
Investments in Securities
The Diversified Portfolio consists of cash and short-term investments valued at amortized cost, which approximates market 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 a straight-line basis to maturity. The amount of premium or discount amortized to income under the straight-line method does not differ materially from the amount which would be amortized to income under the interest method. Procedures are followed to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit for the portfolio.
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, including the accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is recorded daily on the accrual basis.
23
IPAIT is authorized by investment policy and statute to invest public funds in obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at federally insured Iowa depository institutions approved and secured pursuant to Chapter 12 of the Code of Iowa; and repurchase agreements, provided that the underlying collateral consists of obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and that IPAIT’s custodian takes delivery of the collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian.
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is IPAIT’s policy that its Custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest at all times. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by IPAIT may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2004, the securities purchased under overnight agreements to resell were collateralized by government agency securities with a market value of $182,448,435.
Certificate of deposit amounts up to $100,000 are insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Company (FDIC). For public funds deposited in Iowa financial institutions in excess of the $100,000 FDIC insurance, the local financial institution must comply with Iowa Code Section 12c.22 to insure appropriate collateralization. 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.
Under Governmental Accounting Standards as to custodial credit risk, IPAIT’s investments in securities are classified as category one. Category one consists of insured or registered securities or securities held by IPAIT or its agent in IPAIT’s name and is the most secure investment category description.
Unit Issues, Redemptions and Distributions
IPAIT determines the net asset value of 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 federal income taxes pursuant to Section 115 of the internal revenue code and state income taxes.
Fees and Expenses
Under separate agreements with IPAIT, IMG, the Investment Adviser, Administrator and Program Support Provider, and Wells Fargo, the Custodian, are paid an annual fee for operating the investment program.

In addition, IMG received .100 percent of the average daily net asset value up to $250 million and .125 percent exceeding $250 million for program support fees.

Beginning August 28, 2003, the program support fee was reduced to .080 percent of the average daily net asset value. For the year ended June 30, 2004 the Diversified Portfolio paid $824,382 to IMG for services provided.
Wells Fargo receives .050 percent of the average daily net asset value up to $150 million, .045 percent from $150 to $300 million, and .040 percent exceeding $300 million for custodial services.

The accrual of .025 percent has been temporarily suspended through December 31, 2004. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

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 Direct Government Obligation Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (the Portfolio) as of June 30, 2004, and the related statements of operations for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and the financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Those standards require that we plan and perform our audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Investment securities held in custody are confirmed to us by the Custodian. 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.
As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2002, the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio of the Trust adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and GASB Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Disclosures.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust at June 30, 2004, and the results of its operations for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, 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 presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The management’s discussion and analysis on pages 26 to 27 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
This section of the IPAIT DGO Portfolio’s annual Financial Statements presents Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the financial position and results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 (FY 04). This information is being presented to provide additional information regarding the activities of the Authority, 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 Independent Auditor’s Report of KPMG LLP, the Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes.
In addition to the historical information, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis includes certain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. The actual results of IPAIT’s DGO Portfolio may differ materially from the results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a wide range of factors including changes in general economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates, and legislative changes.
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 DGO Portfolio. The following components comprise the financial statements: 1) Statement of Net Assets, 2) Statements of Operations, 3) Statements of Changes in Net Assets, 4) Financial Highlights, and 5) Notes to Financial Statements.
• 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 displays the results of operations (income and expenses) of the portfolio for the five most recent fiscal years.
• The Statements of Changes in Net Assets portray participant/unitholder activity (distributions, sales, reinvestments, redemptions) of the portfolio for the two most recent fiscal years.
• The Financial Highlights depict per share/per unit information (net investment income, dividends distributed, net asset value, total return, ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets) and summary total net assets of the portfolio for the five most recent fiscal years.
• The Notes to Financial Statements describe significant accounting policies and disclose summary security transaction amounts of the portfolio.
Condensed Financial Information and Financial Analysis
Year-to-year variances in most financial statement amounts reported in IPAIT’s DGO Portfolio are most significantly impacted by the level of average net assets (which fluctuates based on the overall levels of participant/unitholder invested balances). 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.
During FY 04, average net assets decreased 29.73 percent to $50,490,269 from average net assets of $71,854,148 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 (FY 03) for the DGO Portfolio. While overnight rates remained stable at 1.00 percent through most of FY 04, one-year rates rose dramatically as the economic recovery became reality. The Federal Reserve raised the overnight rate in late June 2004 to 1.25 percent. The one-year rate gradually drifted upward during the first part of the year from 1.12 percent and shifted upward dramatically during the months of April, May and June to 2.33 percent, once the employment numbers began to firm up.

Units Redeemed | | 45,144,742 | | 58,486,403 | | -22.81 | % |
Total investments and net assets declined 28.25 percent and 28.22 percent, respectively, comparing June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 amounts, due to scheduled withdrawals causing a decrease of participant balances at FY 04. Investment income and net investment income decreased 51.57 percent and 59.69 percent, respectively, during FY 04 compared to FY 03 primarily due to the lower interest rate environment and partially due to lower average net assets. Total expenses decreased 38.74 percent during FY 04 compared to FY 03 due to a reduction both in investment advisory and administrative fees as well as lower average net assets. Both units sold and units redeemed decreased 31.01 percent and 22.81 percent respectively due to limited money movement within the portfolio. The DGO portfolio is for use of restricted funds with specific payout schedules. In FY 04, there was less of a need for funds so money movement decreased from FY 03.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) is a common law trust established under Iowa law pursuant to Chapter 28E and Sections 331.555 and 384.21, Iowa Code (1987), as amended, which authorizes Iowa public agencies to jointly invest monies pursuant to a joint investment agreement. IPAIT is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. IPAIT was established by the adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust as of October 1, 1987, and commenced operations on November 13, 1987. The Joint Powers Agreement and Declaration of Trust was amended September 1, 1988, and again on May 1, 1993. As amended, IPAIT is authorized to operate and now operates investment programs, one of which is the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio. The accompanying financial statements include activities of the Direct Government Obligation 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 Investors Management Group (IMG) serves as the Investment Adviser, Administrator, and Program Support Provider.
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.
In reporting financial activity, IPAIT applies applicable Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements, as well as all Financial Accounting Standards Board and predecessor statements and interpretations not in conflict with GASB pronouncements.
IPAIT has adopted GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, as amended by Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and modified by Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures, (Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38) effective July 1, 2002. Adoption of Statements Nos. 34, 37, and 38 had no impact on the net assets of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio of IPAIT. The Statements require IPAIT to add a section for Management’s Discussion and Analysis as supplementary information to precede the financial statements and can be located on page 26.
IPAIT is exposed to various risks in connection with operation of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio and adheres to policies which mitigate market risk in the portfolio and maintains insurance coverage for fidelity and errors and omissions exposures. IPAIT has had no claims or settlements under its insurance coverage since its organization in 1987.
Investments in Securities
The Direct Government Obligation Portfolio consists of cash and short-term investments valued at amortized cost, which approximates market 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 a straight-line basis to maturity. The amount of premium or discount amortized to income under the straight-line method does not differ materially from the amount which would be amortized to income under the interest method. Procedures are followed to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit for the portfolio.
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income, including the accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is recorded daily on the accrual basis.
31
IPAIT is authorized by investment policy and statute to invest public funds in obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities; 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 its Custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest at all times. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by IPAIT may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2004, the security purchased under an overnight agreement to resell was collateralized by government securities with a market value of $25,694,292.
Under Governmental Accounting Standards as to custodial credit risk, IPAIT’s investments in securities are classified as category one. Category one consists of insured or registered securities or securities held by IPAIT or its agent in IPAIT’s name and is the most secure investment category description.
Unit Issues, Redemptions and Distributions
IPAIT determines the net asset value of the DGO 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 federal income taxes pursuant to Section 115 of the internal revenue code and state income taxes.
Fees and Expenses
Under separate agreements with IPAIT, IMG, the Investment Adviser, Administrator and Program Support Provider, and Wells Fargo, the Custodian, are paid an annual fee for operating the investment programs.
From July 1, 2003 to August 27, 2003, IMG received .305 percent of the average daily net asset value up to $150 million, .260 percent from $150 to $300 million, and .215 percent exceeding $300 million for investment advisory and administrative fees.

Beginning August 28, 2003, the program support fee was reduced to .080 percent of the average daily net asset value. For the year ended June 30, 2004 the DGO Portfolio paid $177,379 to IMG for services provided.
Wells Fargo receives .050 percent of the average daily net asset value up to $150 million, .045 percent from $150 to $300 million, and .040 percent exceeding $300 million for custodial services. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the DGO Portfolio paid $25,314 to Wells Fargo for services provided.
Under a distribution plan the public agency associations collectively receive an annual fee of .100 percent of the daily net asset value of the portfolio. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the DGO Portfolio paid $46,777 to the Iowa League of Cities and $3,852 to the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities.
IPAIT is responsible for other fees and expenses incurred directly by IPAIT. Other fees and expenses were accrued daily at a rate of .025 percent of the average daily net asset value through August 28, 2003, and amounted to $1,984 for the year ended June 30, 2004. The other fees and expenses accrual of .025 percent has been temporarily suspended through December 31, 2004. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

DIVERSIFIED FUND AND
DIRECT GOVERNMENT OBLIGATION FUND
INVESTMENT RESULTS REVIEW
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2004
Introduction
The Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund are each short-term investment pools of high-quality money market instruments. Each pool has been registered since May of 1993 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each is operated in accordance with 17 C.F.R. Section 270.2a-7 (Rule 2a-7). Each pool complied voluntarily with all Rule 2a-7 money market fund operating guidelines from inception.
The Diversified 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 and perfected repurchase agreements, the latter collateralized by U.S. government and federal agency securities. The Diversified Fund is typically used for the investment of all public funds subject to the Iowa public funds statutory provisions invested by a participant unless other participant-specific investment restrictions exist.
The DGO Fund is identical in every respect to the Diversified Fund except that it is invested exclusively in direct U.S. government obligations and repurchase agreements collateralized by direct U.S. government obligations. The DGO Fund is typically used to invest those public funds of a participant that are subject to more stringent investment restrictions than those provided by Iowa public fund statutes, for example bond proceeds whose investment alternatives may be limited to the types of securities found in the DGO Fund.
The investment objective of both the Diversified Fund and the DGO 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. However, in an effort to increase yields, IPAIT may sell securities and realize capital gains when there are perceived disparities between maturities for various categories of authorized investments. Summaries of all security trades for each Fund are regularly provided monthly to the IPAIT Board of Trustees for review.

Both portfolios have been managed by IMG, IPAIT’s Des Moines, Iowa-based investment adviser, since inception. Aggregate cash flows for each Fund 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 generally repetitive. Seventeen years of operating history create a very helpful tool to gauge necessary pool liquidity needs.
The Diversified Fund actively monitors rates offered by Iowa financial institutions for public funds certificates of deposit. Institutions experiencing strong loan demand typically offer rates that are at or above those available for marketable securities, presenting a helpful portfolio investment alternative.
To assure adequate liquidity for anticipated and unanticipated participant withdrawals, IPAIT continually monitors the weighted average maturity (WAM) of both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund. Each Fund’s WAM is similarly compared to the iMoneyNet Financial Data average for all registered money market funds. Presented below is the WAM for each Fund as compared to the iMoneyNet Financial Data average for all similar registered money market funds for the fiscal period.
Each 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 by the amortized cost method. Under this method, a security is initially valued at cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, any premium or discount is amortized on a straight-line basis to maturity.
The IPAIT Administrator-Adviser values each Fund’s portfolio weekly at current market value, based upon actual market quotations. Each 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 each Fund’s $1.00 amortized cost per unit is carefully monitored. Deviations may never exceed 0.5 percent. Illustrated below are the amortized cost versus market value per unit comparisons for the past three fiscal years for each Fund.
The Diversified Fund’s investment performance is regularly compared to three established benchmarks, the iMoneyNet Financial Data average rate for all registered Rule 2a-7 money market funds investing in U.S. government and federal agency securities, 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.
36
The DGO Fund is similarly compared to the iMoneyNet Financial Data average rate for all Rule 2a-7 money market funds that invest in only direct obligations of the U.S. government as well as the Iowa Code Chapter 74A rates for 32-89, and 90-179 day certificates of deposit.
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’s Diversified Fund and DGO Fund typically offer rates at or above the Chapter 74A benchmarks with complete daily liquidity.
Risk Profile
Both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund are low in risk profile. Both Funds limit portfolio investments to:
1. No single portfolio investment may exceed the 397 days as outlined in Rule 2a-7.
2. The weighted average maturity may never exceed 90 days.
In addition to the above investment maturity restrictions common to both Funds, the Diversified 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. The DGO Fund further limits itself to only direct obligations of the U.S. government and perfected repurchase agreements collateralized by direct obligations of the U.S. government. This combination of short average maturities and extremely high-quality credit instruments provides eligible Iowa public fund investors with a safe, effective investment alternative.

As noted previously, both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund carefully limit themselves 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 each Fund’s WAM to take advantage of projected interest rate environments. The Diversified and DGO Funds responded to changing market conditions by increasing the WAM of the Funds closer to the benchmark. The WAM on the Diversified Fund rose from 27 days to 40 days and the WAM for the DGO Fund rose from 15 days to 41 days in response to the steepening yield curve which provided incentive to invest in assets out six months to one year. This enabled portfolio yields to rise as assets were added further out the yield curve at higher rates. Certificates of deposit issued by Iowa banks rose as a percentage of the Diversified Fund as investment opportunities in that sector were more plentiful, and coupon agency bonds rose as a percentage of the DGO Fund as they offered better yield further out the yield curve.
37
It is important to note that portfolio liquidity needs for the program 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 either Fund’s portfolio is not a viable alternative.
Participation membership by affiliation concentration for both the Diversified and DGO Portfolios are illustrated in the following graphs.
Performance Summary
For the one-year period ended June 30, 2004, the Diversified Fund and DGO Fund reported a ratio of net investment income to average net assets of .59 percent and .53 percent respectively, net of all operating expenses. These figures exceeded the iMoneyNet Indices for each Fund, which returned .37 percent and .31 percent respectively for the fiscal period.
Although both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund are liquidity pools, their performance over time has consistently exceeded the iMoneyNet Index as illustrated below.
Also illustrated below are the historical returns for both the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund for the most recent one, three and five year periods.
38
Fees and Commissions
All assets invested in the Diversified Fund and the DGO Fund incur the Total Expense Ratio respective to each portfolio as noted in the Fund Facts Summary for each portfolio noted at the beginning of this Investment Section. There are no additional fees or commissions paid by participants in either portfolio.
Example:
These tables describe the fees and expenses a participant may pay if they buy and hold shares of the Funds. The expense examples are to help the participant compare the cost of investing in the Funds with the cost of investing in other funds. This assumes the participant invests $1,000 in each Fund for the periods indicated, has a one percent return each year and the funds’ expenses remain constant. The actual cost may be higher or lower.

Schedule of Portfolio Holdings
A complete schedule of portfolio holdings is filed with the SEC for the first and third quarters on Form N-Q.

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 investments 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 appears to require 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 1-800-SEC-0330, or by mail at Public Reference Section, SEC, Washington DC 20549 (duplicating fee required) or upon request from IPAIT at 1-800-872-4024.

INVESTMENT COMMENTARY
June 30, 2004
As expected, the economy improved over the last twelve months. Employment data improved considerably and was also fueled by revisions to first quarter 2004 reports. The employment recovery is starting to emulate that of the early nineties before the long bull market of the mid nineties. The employment picture should continue to improve as the economic recovery matures.
But while the economy remains strong, is its pace of growth slowing? After all, the tax cut is now a year old, the Fed has begun to tighten, cash from home refinancing is dwindling and some of the recent data has been soft. Perhaps the Fed senses this fragility and this is why it is being so timid hiking rates.
We do not buy a slowdown argument on either theoretical or empirical grounds. It is too early to see a reversal of monetary and fiscal stimulus. It normally takes six months to see significant impact from monetary tightening and the fiscal stimulus doesn’t end until December 31, when special incentives for capital spending expire. While the year-over-year rate of growth may be decelerating, overall growth should remain strong.
Recent economic data has been erratic rather than depressed. A few reports have been weaker than expected including payroll employment, durable goods orders, and early indicators for consumer spending during the month of June. These reports are volatile on a month-by-month basis but trends remain strong.
Employment, while expected to remain robust, appears to be plateauing as to the dramatic gains achieved over the past quarter. Initial unemployment claims remain very low signaling continued strength. The measure of those willing to leave their jobs is increasing and can be a gauge of confidence in employment prospects.
Also while durable goods orders have declined over the last two months, factory orders continue to improve and ISM manufacturing survey data confirm demand remains strong and idle capacity is quickly being absorbed.
We think something that is more concerning are the factors that could push inflation higher.
First, pricing power will likely increase as economic growth is sustained. Many core goods are rising in price, which are often not captured in surveys or statistics. For example, more and more manufacturers of food goods package less food at the same price. Also manufacturers are seeing rising backlogs, while suppliers are realizing longer delivery times due to excess demand. All are inflationary in nature.
Second, as workers become more confident in job market prospects, demands will rise for higher wages as workers recognize their higher productivity and start to demand a bigger share of the income pie. As the job market continues to improve, wage pressures will increase.
Third, if commodity prices remain high or begin to rise again, manufacturers and service providers will no longer be able to absorb the cost and will look to pass them on in a much friendlier disposable income environment.
In practice it is very hard to measure accurately the exact measure of inflation. However, there are enough elements in the economy that are highly correlated with inflation that are beginning to signal concerns.
With the Fed now in a tightening mode, skeptics are arguing higher rates will stall growth and set the economy back. We believe the rate environment is, and will remain, accommodative even if rates move higher. We remain at historically low rates and a move to slightly higher rates will likely have minimal impact on the sustainability of growth.
As we position portfolios, we remain optimistic about domestic growth potential. While economic data has softened, we are optimistic that trends established earlier this year will continue. We are becoming increasingly concerned inflation could trend higher as the economic expansion continues, however we are not concerned that inflation will get out of control. The Fed has been and will continue to be diligent in keeping inflation contained. The greatest challenge they will have is knowing when to increase rates to stave off inflation without stalling the economic expansion.

10. Underwrite the securities of other issuers.
41
11. Invest in any securities in contravention of the provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as it presently exists or as it may hereafter be amended.
B. Prohibited Investments
Assets of IPAIT shall not be invested in the following:
1. Reverse repurchase agreements.
2. Futures and options contracts.
3. Any security with a remaining maturity of more than 397 days in conformity with Rule 2a-7.
C. Prohibited Investment Practices
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. If a fiduciary or other third party with custody of public investment transaction records of IPAIT fails to produce requested records when requested by IPAIT or its agents within a reasonable time, IPAIT shall make no new investment with or through the fiduciary or third party and shall not renew maturing investments with or through the fiduciary or third party.
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.
42
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 90 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 conform 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.
Provided, however, the Trust may invest Portfolio assets pursuant to the maximum extent possible by Iowa law governing investments by public agencies and Rule 2a-7 and any change in the restrictions of the Iowa law governing investments by public agencies and Rule 2a-7 shall be deemed to be adopted by the Trust, and such change shall not require the approval of the Participants.
Any investment restrictions or limitations referred to above which involve 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 therefrom.
SECTION 3-DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The responsibility for conducting IPAIT investment transactions resides with the IPAIT Board of Trustees. Certain responsibilities have been delegated to the Administrator-Adviser, the Custodian and the Bank Trust Services provider (the “Service Providers”) pursuant to the Administrator-Adviser Agreement, the Custodian Agreement and the Bank Trust Services Agreement with amendments as may be adopted from time to time and the current Information Statement (the “Documents”).
Each Service Provider shall individually notify the IPAIT Board of Trustees in writing within 30 days of receipt of all communications from the auditor of any Service Provider or any regulatory authority of the existence of a material weakness in internal control structure of the Service Provider or regulatory orders or sanctions regarding the type of services being provided to IPAIT by the Service Provider.
The records of investment transactions made by or on behalf of IPAIT are public records and are the property of IPAIT whether in the custody of IPAIT or in the custody of a fiduciary or other third party.
SECTION 4-OBJECTIVES OF INVESTMENT POLICY
The primary objectives, in order of priority, of all investment activities involving the financial assets of IPAIT shall be the following:
1. Safety: Safety and preservation of principal in the overall portfolio is the foremost investment objective.
43
2. Liquidity: Maintaining the necessary liquidity to match expected liabilities is the second investment objective.
3. Return: Obtaining a reasonable return is the third investment objective.
SECTION 5-PRUDENCE
The Board of Trustees, when providing for the investment of deposit of public funds in the IPAIT program, shall exercise the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use to attain the Section 4 investment objectives.
