INTRODUCTORY SECTION
August 26, 2010
Dear Fellow IPAIT Participants:
The Iowa Pubic Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) is pleased to submit the Diversified Fund and Direct Government Obligation Fund (DGO) Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2010. The IPAIT Board of Trustees and Management are responsible for the content of the reports.
The Federal Reserve has continued to keep interest rates at historically low levels. The Federal Reserve has kept the Federal Funds Rate at 0.00-0.25 percent since December 16, 2008. During this period, the IPAIT Diversified and DGO Funds maintained yields comparable to other money market funds, while being an educational resource for IPAIT participants. For a detailed review of the Funds, please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of each Fund located in the Financial Section.
Our Economy
According to recent economic statistics, the U.S. economy is 12 months into recovery. Over that time, consumer goods prices have barely increased which has allowed borrowing costs to fall to the lowest level in over 50 years. Historically, this kind of news would be the cause for confidence and optimism; however, due to a variety of other equally important economic statistics, U.S. consumers are hardly sanguine.
The most important economic characteristic causing Iowans and the rest of America to worry is jobs, or more specifically the lack of jobs. The U.S. unemployment rate is currently 9.5 percent and hasn’t shown substantial improvement during the economic recovery so far, and while Iowa’s unemployment rate is considerably better than the national rate, it has increased to 6.8 percent from 6.0 percent a year ago. The lack of job growth has also negatively affected consumer sentiment and thus consumer spending. These statistics are very important to our economic health because the consumer is responsible for 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. The lack of consumer confidence is also showing up in the sub-par rebound in the housing market. Even with mortgage rates at historic lows, home prices and transactions are still mired in slowdown, which is helping reinforce the lack of consumer confidence.
One economic bright spot that is important to consumers and businesses alike is the current state of financial companies, especially banks. With the help and resources of the Treasury and Federal Reserve over the past 24 months, a serious banking crisis was averted and the health of the banking system has dramatically improved. The FDIC, the federal agency charged with cleaning up the banking mess, is aggressively addressing lingering problems at poor quality banks. For example, just recently the FDIC was able to sell to investors, for the first time since the financial crisis began, securitized single family home loans from 16 failed banks. The Federal Reserve also continues to play an important role in the process of repairing and energizing the banking system by providing enough liquidity to keep the Federal Reserve Fund Target Rate at 0.25 percent.
Another important economic driver that is reason for optimism is the growth of emerging market giants China and India. Demand for heavy equipment and other durable goods in these very large markets has provided growth opportunities for U.S. manufacturing. Nationwide manufacturing and durable goods industries account for about 14.5 percent of total private (non-government) employment. However, in Iowa, manufacturing and durable goods companies make up approximately 16.5 percent of private employment and unlike Iowa’s overall private sector which fell over the past 12 months, the number of workers in manufacturing and durable good production grew 2.2 percent.
Overall we believe that improvement in job growth and consumer confidence will be slow coming. Thus, our expectation for 2010 and 2011 economic growth is very conservative. However, we don’t expect a double-dip recession or more industry-specific crises like we endured in 2008. In addition, while economic and job growth has been sub par coming out of the 2008-2009 recession, both consumers and businesses are doing one important thing that should be helpful to the U.S. economy in the long run. They are using discretionary income to pay down debt and improve the health of their balance sheets. Thus, in the future, when business and consumer confidence rebounds, there should be plenty of pent up demand to fuel GDP growth as well as private sector jobs.
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 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, 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.
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), Vera Lichtenberger (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.
Statement of Changes in Net Assets
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 (FY 10) and the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 (FY 09) 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 10 | $ 2,294,550 | $ 1,669,195 | $ 625,355 |
FY 09 | $ 5,799,304 | $ 1,487,617 | $ 4,311,687 |
| | | |
DGO Fund | | | |
FY 10 | $ 157,166 | $ 149,057 | $ 8,109 |
FY 09 | $ 290,409 | $ 100,716 | $ 189,693 |
For both the Diversified and DGO Funds, while average invested assets increased from the prior year, the decrease in year-over-year interest earned is directly attributed to lower fund yields in FY 10.
IPAIT operates pursuant to Service Provider agreements for all aspects of 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 an thirteenth 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 $540,130,078, up from $453,884,616 in the previous fiscal year,
·
Placement of 32 Iowa financial institution Certificates of Deposit (includes CDARS) in the IPAIT Diversified Fund representing $137,900,000,
·
An authorized membership total of 428 public bodies representing 206 cities, 95 counties, 89 municipal utilities, and 38 other eligible public agencies, and
·
Total funds invested in IPAIT’s investment alternatives peaked for the fiscal year at $655,092,635 on April 14, 2010.
The GFOA awarded a thirteenth 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, 2009. 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.
Participant Meetings
IPAIT had two participant meetings this year with proposals considered, election of the Board of Trustees selection of program auditors, amendment to the investment policy to allow CDARS investments, amendment to the investment policy to allow for triparty repurchase agreements, and approval of a new Advisor Agreement. Details of the two meeting results and proposal responses can be found on page 45 of 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 2010-2011, IPAIT will continue to be guided by its objectives of safety, 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 IPASonlineTM system. We collectively pledge to continue working together to provide a safe source of interest income for every participant.
Respectfully,

Dianne L. Kiefer
Chair, Board of Trustees
To IPAIT Participants:
While IPAIT's Diversified Fund and Direct Government Obligation (DGO) Fund financial statements and the related financial data contained in these Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR’s) 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 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 and DGO Fund operations and financial condition.
Sincerely,
![[ipait_ncsr012.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001376474-10-000072/ipait_ncsr012.gif)

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
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, 2010 (FY 10) and 2009 (FY 09). 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 Diversif ied 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.
CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL 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, 2010, 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. In the preceeding twelve months, the Fed Funds target rate was lowered three times from 2.00 percent to a range of zero to 0.25 percent.
Condensed financial information and variance explanations for FY 10, as compared to FY 09 follows.
| | | | | |
| | | Percent | | |
Net Assets | June 30, 2010 | | Change | | June 30, 2009 |
Total investments | $ 435,170,555 | | -9% | | $ 480,810,632 |
Excess of other assets over total liabilities | 537,625 | | -9% | | 592,005 |
Net assets held in trust for pool participants | 435,708,180 | | -9% | | 481,402,637 |
| | | | | |
Average Net Assets | $ 499,221,312 | | 17% | | $ 427,380,402 |
Total investments and net assets decreased 9 and 9 percent, respectively, comparing June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 amounts. During FY 10, average net assets increased 17 percent to $499,221,312 from average net assets of $427,380,402 during FY 09. The Diversified portfolio experienced a net increase of average assets in FY 10. With credit issues and economic concerns in the marketplace, IPAIT participants increased average assets held in the Diversified portfolio with its primary objective of preservation of invested principal.

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. As amended, IPAIT is authorized to operate and now operates investment programs, one of which is the Diversified Portfolio. The accompanying financial statements include a ctivities 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), formerly WB Capital Management Inc., 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.
In reporting financial activity, IPAIT applies applicable Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements, as well as all Financial Accounting Standards Board and predecessor statements and interpretations not in conflict with GASB pronouncements.
IPAIT is exposed to various risks in connection with operation of the Diversified Portfolio and adheres to policies which 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 defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by IPAIT may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2010, the securities purchased under overnight agreements to resell were collateralized by government agency securities with a fair value of $200,880,840. At June 30, 2009, the portfolio did not contain any repurchase agreements.
Certificates of Deposit and Public Fund Deposit Accounts up to $250,000 are currently insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Company (FDIC) through December 31, 2013. 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 insure appropriate collateralization. As of June 30, 2010, public funds invested in Certificates of Deposit and Public Fund Deposit Accounts not covered by FDIC insurance were $22,817,000. 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 both principal and interest are eligible for full FDIC insurance. As of June 30, 2010, the portfolio held $83,500,000 in the CDARS program.
As of June 30, 2010, NOW (Negotiable Order of Withdrawal) accounts funded with public funds that earn a rate of return less than 0.50 percent are insured by the FDIC at participating banks. At June 30, 2010, the portfolio had $40,108,371 invested in insured NOW accounts.
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 43.5 percent AAA, 5.0 percent A1+, 0.5 percent not rated (representing all Certificates of Deposit from Iowa financial institutions), and 51.0 percent NA. Securities which carry an NA rating are securities 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 IPAIT’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 IPAIT.
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.
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, 2010 and 2009, the Diversified Portfolio paid $1,067,531 and $932,023, respectively, to Miles Capital for services provided.
Wells Fargo receives 0.030 percent of the average daily net asset value of the portfolio. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Diversified Portfolio paid $149,627 and $128,214, respectively, to Wells Fargo for services provided.
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 the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Diversified Portfolio paid $271,857 and $204,710 to the Iowa League of Cities, $63,856 and $77,354 to the Iowa State Association of Counties, and $38,355 and $38,471 to the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities, respectively.
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 $77,969 and $106,845 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2010, on various and multiple days, the Diversified Portfolio voluntarily waived all or a portion of the other fees and expense accrual. Future waivers are not required and are determined on market yields and other market considerations. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Effective July 1, 2008, IPAIT adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements included in ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”). 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 expand disclosure 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 –
quote 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 the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.)
Securities in the Diversified Fund are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Year-over-year changes 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 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, 2010, 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. In the preceeding twelve months, the Fed Funds target rate was lowered three times from 2.00 percent to a range of zero to 0.25 percent.
Condensed financial information and variance explanations for FY 10 as compared to FY 09 follows.

Net Assets | June 30, 2010 | | Change | | June 30, 2009 |
Total Investments | $ 79,834,676 | | 50% | | $ 53,125,625 |
Excess of other assets over total liabilities | 62,871 | | -31% | | 90,740 |

| | | | | |
Average Net Assets | $ 40,908,766 | | 54% | | $ 26,504,214 |
Total investments and net assets increased 50 percent and 50 percent, respectively, comparing June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 amounts. The DGO portfolio experienced a net increase of assets at the end of FY 10 due to one of the two Fund participants purchasing shares with funds obtained by a bond offering. During FY 10, average net assets increased 54 percent to $40,908,766 from average net assets of $26,504,214 during FY 09.

| | | | | |
Net assets at end of year | $ 79,897,547 | | 50% | | $ 53,216,365 |
Investment income and dividends to unitholders from net investment income decreased 46 percent and 96 percent, respectively, during FY 10 compared to FY 09 due to the lower interest rate environment. During the 12-month period in FY 10, 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. Total expenses are derived based on net assets held by the Fund. These expenses increased 48 percent during FY 10 compared to FY 09 due to higher average net assets for FY 10. During FY 10 compared to FY 09, units sold and redeemed increased 44 percent and 77 percent, respectively. The increase in units sold was due to one of the two Fund participants transferring assets from other IPAIT portfolio options into the DGO Portfolio.

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. As amended, IPAIT is authorized to operate and now operates investment programs, one of which is the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio. The accompanying financial sta tements 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 Miles Capital, Inc. (Miles Capital), formerly WB Capital Management Inc., 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.
In reporting financial activity, IPAIT applies applicable Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements, as well as all Financial Accounting Standards Board and predecessor statements and interpretations not in conflict with GASB pronouncements.
IPAIT is exposed to various risks in connection with operation of the Direct Government Obligation 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 Direct Government Obligation 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; 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 defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by IPAIT may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2010, the securities purchased under overnight agreements to resell were collateralized by government securities with a fair value of $55,913,423. At June 30, 2009, the portfolio did not contain any repurchase agreements.
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 both principal and interest are eligible for full FDIC insurance. As of June 30, 2010, the portfolio held $5,500,000 in the CDARS program.
As of June 30, 2010, NOW (Negotiable Order of Withdrawal) accounts funded with public funds that earn a rate of return less than 0.50 percent are insured by the FDIC at participating banks. At June 30, 2010, the portfolio had $13,003,957 invested in insured NOW accounts.
Under Governmental Accounting Standards as to custodial credit risk, IPAIT's investments in securities in the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio held securities whose S&P credit ratings were 31.3 percent AAA and 68.7% NA. Securities which carry an NA rating are repurchase agreements as defined above.
Management attempts to limit IPAIT’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 IPAIT.
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 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 programs.
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, 2010 and 2009, the DGO Portfolio paid $100,329 and $66,261, respectively, to Miles Capital for services provided.
Wells Fargo receives 0.030 percent of the average daily net asset value of the portfolio. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the DGO Portfolio paid $12,082 and $7,951, respectively, to Wells Fargo for services provided.
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 the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the DGO Portfolio paid $30,212 and $19,878 to the Iowa League of Cities, respectively.
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 $6,434 and $6,626 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2010, on various and multiple days, the DGO Portfolio voluntarily waived a portion of service provider and sponsoring association fees as well as all or part of the other fees and expenses in order to keep the DGO Portfolio's net yield positive. Future waivers are not required and are determined on market yields and other market considerations. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

Effective July 1, 2008, IPAIT adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements included in ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”). 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 expand disclosure 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 –
quote 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 the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.)
Securities in the Diversified Fund are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
Purchases of portfolio securities for the DGO Portfolio aggregated $2,051,691,931 and $2,174,476,726 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Proceeds from the maturity and sale of securities for the DGO Portfolio aggregated $2,024,750,757 and $2,144,638,738 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

PARTICIPANT CONCENTRATION
As of June 30, 2010, two participants hold all outstanding units of the DGO Portfolio.
(4)
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 25, 2010, the board of directors approved a resolution ceasing the investment operations of the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio and transferring existing assets to the Diversified Portfolio. There are two participants in the Portfolio, with one holding over 99 percent of the outstanding shares. The transfer may be facilitated through Rule 17a-7 at fair market value which approximates the recorded value of the investments. No gain or loss is anticipated. The Portfolio will remain available for future investment if IPAIT participants should request it in the future.

Diversified Fund and Direct Government Obligation Fund
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, NOW accounts, public fund deposit accounts, public fund savings accounts,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.
Ownership Analysis as of June 30, 2010
IPAIT Diversified Fund and DGO Fund
![[ipait_ncsr020.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001376474-10-000072/ipait_ncsr020.gif)
The DGO Fund is identical in every respect to the Diversified Fund except that it is invested exclusively in direct U.S. government obligations, NOW accounts 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. During FY 10, there were no such security sales. Summaries of all security trades for each Fund are provided quarterly to the IPAIT Board of Trustees for review.

![[ipait_ncsr024.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001376474-10-000072/ipait_ncsr024.gif)
Both portfolios have been managed by Miles Capital, IPAIT’s West 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 repetitive. Over twenty 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 fund 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 ensure 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 Money Fund Reportä average for registered money market funds. Presented next is the WAM for each Fund as compared to the iMoneyNet Money Fund Reportä 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 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 each Fund’s portfolio weekly at current fair 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 next are the amortized cost versus market value per unit comparisons for the past three fiscal years for each Fund.

![[ipait_ncsr032.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001376474-10-000072/ipait_ncsr032.gif)
The Diversified Fund’s investment performance is regularly compared to three established benchmarks, the iMoneyNet Money Fund Reportä 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.
The DGO Fund is similarly compared to the iMoneyNet Money Fund Reportä 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 the DGO Fund may 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 to maturity as outlined in Rule 2a-7.
2. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio may never exceed 90 days (at June 30, 2010 changed to 60 day maximum average).
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 and NOW accounts. The DGO Fund further limits itself to only direct obligations of the U.S. government, perfected repurchase agreements collateralized by direct obligations of the U.S. government, and Iowa financial institution NOW 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.

![[ipait_ncsr038.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001376474-10-000072/ipait_ncsr038.gif)
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.

![[ipait_ncsr042.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001376474-10-000072/ipait_ncsr042.gif)
It is important to note that portfolio liquidity needs for the 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 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, 2010 the Diversified Fund and DGO Fund reported a ratio of net investment income to average net assets of .13 percent and 0.02 percent, respectively, net of all operating expenses. These figures exceeded the iMoneyNet Money Fund Reportä averages for each Fund, which returned 0.02 percent and 0.01 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 Money Fund Reportä as illustrated below.

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, 2010 to June 30, 2010. 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 appropriate fund Information Statement.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The SAI has additional information about the Funds and is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-872-4024.
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. The portfolio holdings for the second and fourth quarter are available in the semi-annual and annual reports. It 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 or at IPAIT.org. The SEC has proposed a new rule to have portfolio holdings posted on the fund website more frequently, and IPAIT will comply with the new rule.
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.
OTHER INFORMATION
Units of IPAIT’s Diversified Portfolio and Direct Government Obligation Portfolio are not insured by the FDIC or the U.S. Government. Investment products involve investment risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is not predictive of future results, and the composition of each Fund’s portfolio is subject to change.
PARTICIPANT MEETING RESULTS
On August 26, 2009, a participant meeting was held at the Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines, Iowa for election of trustees, the selection of auditors, amendment to the investment policy to allow for CDARS investments, and amendment to the investment policy to allow for triparty repurchase agreements. The proposals were approved by the participants of both funds.

Investment Commentary
The economic recovery is moving forward despite the negative news headlines of the past few months. Unfortunately, the money market yield environment is unlikely to change in 2010, leaving IPAIT participants with little extra income to offset budget pressures. While domestic growth seems to be progressing, headwinds from Europe and uncertainty from the political arena are making markets nervous. With this backdrop, the Federal Reserve is more concerned about aiding growth than stopping inflation, and that means low rates for the foreseeable future.
Deteriorating fiscal conditions in Greece, Portugal and Spain have helped push Treasury yields dramatically lower, and austerity programs for debt-laden European countries will have a dampening effect on global growth. While the U.S. will likely avoid a double-dip into recession, weaker domestic GDP, housing and employment data have weighed heavily on investors. Uncertainty is hard on markets and this flight to quality may persist for a while.
The incredible amount of government intervention in the economy that occurred in late 2008 and early 2009 is now transitioning away, leaving markets to worry about potential missteps. The recent expiration of several programs, such as the new-homebuyer tax credit and the Federal Reserve mortgage buying program is providing a glimpse into the strength of private demand. Unfortunately, the picture is less encouraging than it was at the end of the first quarter. Financial reform regulation has deepened market concerns about future growth, and the upcoming elections will do little to alleviate those fears. However, bright spots like rising business capital expenditures provide optimism that the transition to expansion continues.
As expected, this recovery is occurring in fits and starts. We are wary of the economic and political winds that are blowing and expect that market volatility will remain high for an “extended period”. Still, we are less concerned about monthly data points and more focused on the longer term trajectory which suggests the recovery remains underway. Despite wishes to the contrary, the recovery will take longer than previous recoveries which means money market rates will remain low. Our focus on preservation of capital remains unchanged, and we appreciate the partnership with participants to support local communities.

This Investment Policy is intended to comply with Iowa Code chapters 28E, 12B, 12C and sections 331.555 and 384.21.

Invest more than 5 percent of the value of their total assets in the securities of any one federally insured Iowa depository institution (other than securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities).
2.
Invest 25 percent or more of the value of their total assets in the securities of issuers conducting their principal business activities in any one industry, including financial institutions.

10.
Underwrite the securities of other issuers.
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 exceeding 397 days as provided in 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 maturity 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.
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 PAIT.
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.
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 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.
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, the Adviser, and the
Custodian (the “Service Providers”) pursuant to the Administrator Agreement, the Adviser Agreement, the Custodian 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 thirty 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.
