      in earnings and have excellent prospects for future growth. The
      portfolio managers consider whether to sell a particular security
      when it no longer meets these criteria. The fund may also invest up
      to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities."

Effective December 1, 1999, the following replaces in its entirety the second
paragraph appearing under the heading "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES -
AIM CONSTELLATION FUND (CONSTELLATION)" on page 1 of the prospectus:

      "The fund seeks to meet this objective by investing principally in common
      stocks of companies the portfolio managers believe are likely to benefit
      from new or innovative products, services or processes as well as those
      that have experienced above-average, long-term growth in earnings and
      have excellent prospects for future growth. The portfolio managers
      consider whether to sell a particular security when it no longer meets
      these criteria."

The following paragraph replaces the second paragraph under the heading
"INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES - AIM CHARTER FUND (CHARTER)" on page 1
of the prospectus:

      "The fund seeks to meet these objectives by investing at least 65% of its
      net assets in income-producing securities, including dividend-paying
      common stocks and convertible securities. The fund's portfolio managers
      purchase securities of established companies that have long-term
      above-average growth in earnings and dividends, and growth companies that
      they believe have the potential for above-average growth in earnings and
      dividends. The fund's portfolio managers consider whether to sell a
      particular security when they believe the security no longer has that
      potential or the capacity to generate income."
