                             AIM FLOATING RATE FUND

                       Supplement dated December 10, 1999
                      to the Prospectus dated May 3, 1999
                        as Supplemented October 1, 1999


This Supplement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Supplement dated
October 1, 1999.

The following replaces in its entirety the second sentence in the second
paragraph appearing under the heading "DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE" on
Page 27 of the Prospectus:

                "Under the Portfolio's current guidelines, Corporate Loans and
           Corporate Debt Securities for which an active secondary market
           exists to a reliable degree in the opinion of the Sub-advisor and
           for which the Sub-advisor can obtain one or more quotations from
           banks or dealers in Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt Securities
           will be valued by the Sub-advisor utilizing bid quotes of the
           market."


The following is added as a second paragraph under the heading "OTHER
INFORMATION - ORGANIZATION OF THE FUND" on Page 29 of the Prospectus:

                "On December 9, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Fund
           approved a restructuring of the Fund (the "Restructuring") and
           recommended that it be submitted to the Fund's shareholders for
           their approval. The Restructuring would include reorganizing the
           Fund as a Delaware business trust and eliminating the current
           "master/feeder" investment structure. The Restructuring would also
           allow the Fund to offer multiple classes of shares and would commit
           the Fund to making repurchase offers each quarter, thereby assuring
           shareholders of at least partial liquidity for their shares. It is
           anticipated that the Restructuring proposal will be submitted to
           Fund shareholders in February, 2000, and, if approved, that the
           Restructuring would be completed by March, 2000."

The following replaces in its entirety the fifth paragraph under the heading
"INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES" on page 6 of the Prospectus:

                "The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its total assets in any
           of the following: (a) senior floating rate loans made and notes
           issued on an unsecured basis to Borrowers that meet the credit
           standards established by AIM and the Sub-advisor ("Unsecured
           Corporate Loans" and "Unsecured Corporate Debt Securities"); (b)
           secured or unsecured short-term debt obligations including, but not
           limited to, U.S. Government and Government agency securities (some
           of which may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the
           United States), money market instruments (such as certificates of
           deposit and bankers' acceptances), corporate and commercial
           obligations (such as commercial paper and medium-term notes) and
           repurchase agreements, none of which are required to be secured but
           all of which will be (or the securities of counterparties associated
           therewith will be) investment grade (i.e., rated Baa, P-3 or higher
           by Moody's or BBB, A-3 or higher by Standard & Poor's or, if
           unrated, determined to be of comparable quality in the judgment of
           the Sub-advisor); (c) fixed rate obligations of U.S. or non-U.S.
           companies that meet the credit standards established by AIM and the
           Sub-advisor and that the Portfolio expects to swap for a floating
           rate structure; or (d) cash or cash equivalents, except that the
           Portfolio, pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the SEC, may
           invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of money market
           investment companies advised by AIM or its affiliates ("Affiliated
           Money Market Funds"). In general, a purchase of
<PAGE>   2
           investment company securities may result in the duplication of fees
           and expenses. With respect to the Portfolio's purchase of shares of
           Affiliated Money Market Funds, the Portfolio will indirectly pay
           the advisory fees and other operating expenses of the Affiliated
           Money Market Funds. Securities rated Baa, BBB, P-3 or A-3 are
           considered to have adequate capacity for payment of principal and
           interest, but are more susceptible to adverse economic conditions
           and, in the case of securities rated BBB or Baa (or comparable
           unrated securities), have speculative characteristics. Such
           securities or cash will not exceed 20% of the Portfolio's total
           assets except (i) during interim periods pending investment of the
           net proceeds of public offerings of the Fund's securities, (ii)
           pending reinvestment of proceeds of the sale of a security, and
           (iii) during temporary defensive periods when, in the opinion of
           the Sub-advisor, suitable Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt
           Securities are not available for investment by the Portfolio or
           prevailing market or economic conditions warrant. During such
           periods, the Portfolio may also invest up to 25% of its total
           assets in Affiliated Money Market Funds. Investments in Unsecured
           Corporate Loans and Unsecured Corporate Debt Securities will be
           made on the same basis as investments in Corporate Loans and
           Corporate Debt Securities as described herein, except with respect
           to collateral requirements. To a limited extent, incidental to and
           in connection with its lending activities, the Portfolio also may
           acquire warrants and other equity securities."
