                                       C shares of the fund. Please read it

                             AIM CONSTELLATION FUND
                             ----------------------

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fund's investment objective is growth of capital. The fund's investment
objective may be changed by the fund's Board of Directors without shareholder
approval.


  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 fund may also
invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities.

  In anticipation of or in response to adverse market conditions, for cash
management purposes, or for defensive purposes, the fund may temporarily hold
all or a portion of its assets in cash, money market instruments, shares of
affiliated money market funds, bonds or other debt securities. As a result, the
fund may not achieve its investment objective.


PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the
fund. The value of your investment in the fund will go up and down with the
prices of the securities in which the fund invests. The prices of equity
securities change in response to many factors including the historical and
prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic
conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. This is
especially true with respect to equity securities of smaller companies, whose
prices may go up and down more than equity securities of larger,
more-established companies. Also, since equity securities of smaller companies
may not be traded as often as equity securities of larger, more-established
companies, it may be difficult or impossible for the fund to sell securities at
a desirable price.

  Foreign securities have additional risks, including exchange rate changes,
political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information about these
companies, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict
financial and accounting controls and standards.

  The value of your shares could be adversely affected if the computer systems
used by the fund's investment advisor and the fund's other service providers are
unable to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900.

  The fund's investment advisor and independent technology consultants are
working to avoid year 2000-related problems in its systems and to obtain
assurances that other service providers are taking similar steps. Year 2000
problems may also affect issuers in whose securities the fund invests.

  An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency.

(1) If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares and redeem these shares
    within 18 months from the date of purchase, you may pay a 1% contingent
    deferred sales charge (CDSC) at the time of redemption.
(2) The investment advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its
    fees.

As a result of 12b-1 fees, long-term shareholders in the fund may pay more than
the maximum permitted initial sales charge.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in different
classes of the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

  The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
fund's gross operating expenses remain the same. To the extent fees are waived,
the expenses will be lower. Although your actual returns and costs may be higher
or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to the fund, A I M Advisors, Inc. serves as investment advisor to
many other mutual funds (the AIM Funds). The following information is about all
the AIM Funds.

CHOOSING A SHARE CLASS

Many of the AIM Funds have multiple classes of shares, each class representing
an interest in the same portfolio of investments. When choosing a share class,
you should consider the factors below:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
CLASS A                              CLASS B                              CLASS C

                                       distributions(1)

  long-term investors                  amounts less than $250,000           for short-term investors
</TABLE>

      (1) AIM Money Market Fund: Class B shares convert to AIM Cash Reserve
          Shares.

          AIM Global Trends Fund: If you held Class B shares on May 29,
          1998 and continue to hold them, those shares will convert to
          Class A shares of that fund seven years after your date of
          purchase. If you exchange those shares for Class B shares of
          another AIM Fund, the shares into which you exchanged will
          not convert to Class A shares until eight years after your
          date of purchase of the original shares.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) FEES

Each AIM Fund (except AIM Tax-Free Intermediate Fund) has adopted 12b-1 plans
that allow the AIM Fund to pay distribution fees to A I M Distributors, Inc.
(the distributor) for the sale and distribution of its shares and fees for
services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are
paid to the dealer of record. Because the AIM Fund pays these fees out of its
assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

SALES CHARGES

Generally, you will not pay a sales charge on purchases or redemptions of Class
A shares of AIM Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM Money
Market Fund. You may be charged a contingent deferred sales charge if you redeem
AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM Money Market Fund acquired through certain
exchanges. Sales charges on all other AIM Funds and classes of those Funds are
detailed below. As used below, the term "offering price" with respect to all
categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.

INITIAL SALES CHARGES

The AIM Funds are grouped into three categories with respect to initial sales
charges. The "Other Information" section of your prospectus will tell you in
what category your particular AIM Fund is classified.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES FOR CLASS A SHARES

You can purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares at net asset value.
However, if you purchase shares of that amount in Categories I or II, they will
be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% if you redeem them
prior to 18 months after the date of purchase. The distributor may pay a dealer
concession and/or a service fee for purchases of $1,000,000 or more.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES FOR
CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES

You can purchase Class B and Class C shares at their net asset value per share.
However, when you redeem them, they are subject to a CDSC in the following
percentages:

COMPUTING A CDSC

The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their
original purchase price or current market value, net of reinvested dividends and
capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, we will
assume that you have redeemed shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then,
shares in the order of purchase.

REDUCED SALES CHARGES AND SALES CHARGE EXCEPTIONS

You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. To qualify
for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial consultant must
provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to verify that your
purchase qualifies for such treatment.

REDUCED SALES CHARGES

You may be eligible to buy Class A shares at reduced initial sales charge rates
under Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent under certain circumstances.

Rights of Accumulation

You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares with Class A shares
currently owned for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge
rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for
the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the current
value of all Class A shares you own.

Letters of Intent

Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount
of Class A shares of AIM Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree
to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full face
amount of the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your
account will be adjusted to the higher initial sales charge level for the
amount actually invested.

INITIAL SALES CHARGE EXCEPTIONS

You will not pay initial sales charges

- - on shares purchased by reinvesting dividends and distributions;

- - when exchanging shares among certain AIM Funds;

- - when using the reinstatement privilege; and

- - when a merger, consolidation, or acquisition of assets of an AIM Fund occurs.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE (CDSC) EXCEPTIONS

You will not pay a CDSC

- - if you redeem Class B shares you held for more than six years;

- - if you redeem Class C shares you held for more than one year;

- - if you redeem shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and
  distributions; and

- - on increases in the net asset value of your shares.

There may be other situations when you may be able to purchase or redeem shares
at reduced or without sales charges. Consult the fund's Statement of Additional
Information for details.

                                 -------------

SPECIAL PLANS

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN

You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the AIM Funds by authorizing
the AIM Fund to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on
a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $50. You may stop the
Automatic Investment Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten
days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING

Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic monthly or quarterly
exchanges, if permitted, from one AIM Fund account to one or more other AIM Fund
accounts with the identical registration. The account from which exchanges are
to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option.
Exchanges will occur on (or about) the 10th or 25th day of the month, whichever
you specify, in the amount you specify. The minimum amount you can exchange to
another AIM Fund is $50.

AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND INVESTMENT

All of your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or invested in any
AIM Fund at net asset value. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and
distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same AIM Fund. You may
invest your dividends and distributions (1) into another AIM Fund in the same
class of shares; or (2) from Class A shares into AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM
Money Market Fund, or vice versa.

  You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your
dividends and distributions in shares of another AIM Fund:

(1) Your account balance (a) in the AIM Fund paying the dividend must be at
    least $5,000; or (b) in the AIM Fund receiving the dividend must be at least
    $500;

(2) Both accounts must have identical registration information; and

(3) You must have completed an authorization form to reinvest dividends into
    another AIM Fund.

PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM

If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the
Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the
total value of your AIM Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage
basis, between two and ten of your AIM Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or
annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares
in one or more of your AIM Funds for shares of the same class of one or more
other AIM Funds in your portfolio. If you wish to participate in the Program,
make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request
to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business
days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the
last month of the period you choose. You may realize taxable gains from these
exchanges. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60
days' prior written notice.

RETIREMENT PLANS

Shares of most of the AIM Funds can be purchased through tax-sheltered
retirement plans made available to corporations, individuals and employees of
non-profit organizations and public schools. A plan document must be adopted
to establish a retirement plan. You may use AIM Funds-sponsored retirement
plans, which include IRAs, Education IRAs, Roth IRAs, 403(b) plans, 401(k)
plans, SIMPLE IRA plans, SEP/SARSEP plans and Money Purchase/Profit Sharing
plans, or another sponsor's retirement plan. The plan custodian of the AIM
Funds-sponsored retirement plan assesses an annual maintenance fee of $10.
Contact your financial consultant for details.

REDEEMING SHARES

REDEMPTION FEES

Generally, we will not charge you any fees to redeem your shares. However, if
you acquired Class A shares of AIM Developing Markets Fund in connection with
the reorganization of AIM Eastern Europe Fund, you will be charged a redemption
fee of 2% of the net asset value of those shares, which will be paid to AIM
Developing Markets Fund, if you redeem your shares within the first year after
the reorganization. Your broker or financial consultant may charge service fees
for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).

REDEMPTION OF AIM CASH RESERVE SHARES OF
AIM MONEY MARKET FUND ACQUIRED BY EXCHANGE

If you redeem AIM Cash Reserve Shares acquired by exchange from Class A shares
subject to a CDSC within 18 months of the purchase of the Class A shares, you
will be charged a CDSC.

REDEMPTION OF CLASS B SHARES OR CLASS C
SHARES ACQUIRED BY EXCHANGE FROM AIM CASH
RESERVE SHARES OF AIM MONEY MARKET FUND

We will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on Class B
shares or Class C shares acquired by exchange from AIM Cash Reserve Shares of
AIM Money Market Fund at the time of the exchange into Class B shares or Class C
shares.

REDEMPTION OF CLASS B SHARES ACQUIRED BY
EXCHANGE FROM AIM FLOATING RATE FUND

If you redeem Class B shares you acquired by exchange via a tender offer by AIM
Floating Rate Fund, the early withdrawal charge applicable to shares of AIM
Floating Rate Fund will be applied instead of the CDSC normally applicable to
Class B shares.

                              resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are

                              information before you can redeem from an employer-sponsored
                              retirement plan. Contact your employer for details.

By Telephone                  Call the transfer agent. You will be allowed to redeem by
                              telephone if (1) the proceeds are to be mailed to the
                              address on record (if there has been no change communicated
                              to us within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically

                              plans, may not be redeemed by telephone. The transfer agent
                              must receive your call during the hours the New York Stock

TIMING AND METHOD OF PAYMENT

We normally will send out checks within one business day, and in any event no
more than seven days, after we accept your request to redeem. If you redeem
shares recently purchased by check, you will be required to wait up to ten
business days before we will send your redemption proceeds. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase check has cleared.

REDEMPTION BY MAIL

If you mail us a request in good order to redeem your shares, we will mail you a
check in the amount of the redemption proceeds to the address on record with us.
If your request is not in good order, you may have to provide us with additional
documentation in order to redeem your shares.

REDEMPTION BY TELEPHONE

If you redeem by telephone, we will mail you a check in the amount of the
redemption proceeds to your address of record (if there has been no change
communicated to the transfer agent within the previous 30 days) or transmit them
electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine and are not
liable for telephone instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.

REDEMPTION BY INTERNET

If you redeem by internet, we will transmit your redemption proceeds
electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. We use reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by internet are genuine and are not
liable for internet instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.

PAYMENT FOR SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS

You may arrange for regular monthly or quarterly withdrawals from your account
of at least $50. You also may make annual withdrawals if you own Class A shares.
We will redeem enough shares from your account to cover the amount withdrawn.
You must have an account balance of at least $5,000 to establish a Systematic
Withdrawal Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior
notice to the transfer agent.

EXPEDITED REDEMPTIONS

(AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM Money Market Fund only)

If we receive your redemption order before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time, we will try

REDEMPTIONS BY CHECK

(Class A shares of AIM Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM
Money Market Fund only)

You may redeem shares of these AIM Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or
more if you have completed an authorization form. Redemption by check is not
available for retirement accounts.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

We require a signature guarantee when you redeem by mail and

(1) the amount is greater than $50,000;

(2) you request that payment be made to someone other than the name registered
    on the account;

(3) you request that payment be sent somewhere other than the bank of record on
    the account; or

(4) you request that payment be sent to a new address or an address that changed
    in the last 30 days.

The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of
financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some
institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check
with the guarantor institution.

REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE (Class A shares only)

You may, within 90 days after you sell Class A shares (except Class A shares of
AIM Tax-Exempt Cash Fund), reinvest all or part of your redemption proceeds in
Class A shares of any AIM Fund at net asset value in an identically registered
account. If you sold Class A shares of AIM Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or AIM
Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, you will incur an initial sales charge reflecting
the difference between the initial sales charges on those Funds and the ones in
which you will be investing. In addition, if you paid a contingent deferred
sales charge (CDSC) on any reinstated amount, you will not be subject to a CDSC
if you later redeem that amount. You must notify the transfer agent in writing
at the time you reinstate that you are exercising your reinstatement privilege.
You may exercise this privilege only once per year.

REDEMPTIONS BY THE AIM FUNDS

If your account has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional
purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of
your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months due to redemptions or
exchanges (excluding retirement accounts), the AIM Funds have the right to
redeem the account after giving you 60 days' prior written notice. You may avoid
having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account
value up to $500 or by utilizing the Automatic Investment Plan.

  If an AIM Fund determines that you have provided incorrect information in
opening an account or in the course of conducting subsequent transactions, the
AIM Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds
to you.

EXCHANGING SHARES

You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one AIM Fund for those
of another AIM Fund. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the
AIM Fund you wish to acquire. Exchange privileges also apply to holders of the
Connecticut General Guaranteed Account, established for tax-qualified group
annuities, for contracts purchased on or before June 30, 1992.

PERMITTED EXCHANGES

Except as otherwise stated below, you may exchange your shares for shares of the
same class of another AIM Fund. You may exchange AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM
Money Market Fund for Class A shares of another AIM Fund, or vice versa. You
also may exchange AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM Money Market Fund for Class B
shares or Class C shares of another AIM Fund, but only if the AIM Cash Reserve
Shares were purchased directly and not acquired by exchange. You may be required
to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial
sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange from
Class A shares not subject to a CDSC into Class A shares subject to those
charges, you will be charged a CDSC when you redeem the exchanged shares. The
CDSC charged on redemption of those shares will be calculated starting on the
date you acquired those shares through exchange.

  You also may exchange AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM Money Market Fund for
Advisor Class shares, but only if you acquired the AIM Cash Reserve Shares
through an exchange from Advisor Class shares.

YOU WILL NOT PAY A SALES CHARGE WHEN EXCHANGING:

(1) Class A shares with an initial sales charge (except for Class A shares of
    AIM Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and AIM Tax-Free Intermediate Fund) for
    Class A shares of another AIM Fund or AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM Money
    Market Fund;

(2) Class A shares of AIM Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and AIM Tax-Free
    Intermediate Fund for

    (a) one another;

    (b) AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM Money Market Fund or Class A shares of
        AIM Tax-Exempt Cash Fund; or

    (c) Class A shares of another AIM Fund, but only if

       (i)  you acquired the original shares before May 1, 1994; or

       (ii) you acquired the original shares on or after May 1, 1994 by way of
            an exchange from shares with higher sales charges;

(3) AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM Money Market Fund or Class A shares of AIM
    Tax-Exempt Cash Fund for

    (b) Class A shares of an AIM Fund subject to an initial sales charge (except

(4) Class B shares for other Class B shares, and Class C shares for other Class
    C shares.

(5) AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM Money Market Fund for Class B shares and
    Class C shares.

EXCHANGES NOT PERMITTED

You may not exchange Class A shares subject to contingent deferred sales charges
for Class A shares of AIM Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, AIM Tax-Free
Intermediate Fund or AIM Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.

EXCHANGE CONDITIONS

The following conditions apply to all exchanges:

- - You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the AIM Fund into which
  you are exchanging;

- - Shares of the AIM Fund you wish to acquire must be available for sale in your
  state of residence;

- - Exchanges must be made between accounts with identical registration
  information;

- - The account you wish to exchange from must have a certified tax identification
  number (or the Fund has received an appropriate Form W-8 or W-9);

- - Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange;

- - If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer
  agent prior to the exchange; and

- - You are limited to a maximum of 10 exchanges per calendar year, because
  excessive short-term trading or market-timing activity can hurt fund
  performance. If you exceed that limit, or if an AIM Fund or the distributor
  determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading is excessive
  or that you are engaging in market-timing activity, it may reject any
  additional exchange orders. An exchange is the movement out of (redemption)
  one AIM Fund and into (purchase) another AIM Fund.

TERMS OF EXCHANGE

Under unusual market conditions, an AIM Fund may delay the purchase of shares
being acquired in an exchange for up to five business days if it determines that
it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange
proceeds. There is no fee for exchanges. The exchange privilege is not an option
or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating AIM Funds or the
distributor may modify or discontinue this privilege at any time.

BY MAIL

If you wish to make an exchange by mail, you must include original signatures of
each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered, the account
registration and account number, the dollar amount or number of shares to be
exchanged and the names of the AIM Funds from which and into which the exchange
is to be made.

BY TELEPHONE

Conditions that apply to exchanges by telephone are the same as redemptions by
telephone, including that the transfer agent must receive exchange requests
during the hours the NYSE is open for business; however, you still will be
allowed to exchange by telephone even if you have changed your address of record
within the preceding 30 days.

BY INTERNET

You will be allowed to exchange by internet if (1) you do not hold physical
share certificates; (2) you can provide proper identification information; and
(3) you have established the internet trading option.

EXCHANGING CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES

If you make an exchange involving Class B or Class C shares, the amount of time
you held the original shares will be added to the holding period of the Class B
or Class C shares, respectively, into which you exchanged for the purpose of
calculating contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) if you later redeem the
exchanged shares. If you redeem Class B shares acquired by exchange via a tender
offer by AIM Floating Rate Fund, you will be credited with the time period you
held the shares of AIM Floating Rate Fund for the purpose of computing the early
withdrawal charge applicable to those shares.

 EACH AIM FUND AND ITS AGENTS RESERVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO:

 - REJECT OR CANCEL ANY PART OF ANY PURCHASE OR EXCHANGE ORDER;

 - MODIFY ANY TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE OF SHARES OF ANY AIM FUND;

 - REJECT OR CANCEL ANY REQUEST TO ESTABLISH THE AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN AND
   SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN OPTIONS ON THE SAME ACCOUNT; OR

 - WITHDRAW ALL OR ANY PART OF THE OFFERING MADE BY THIS PROSPECTUS.

PRICING OF SHARES

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

The price of each AIM Fund's shares is the fund's net asset value per share. The
AIM Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily
available at market value. The AIM Funds value short-term investments maturing
within 60 days at amortized cost, which approximates market value. AIM Money
Market Fund and AIM Tax-Exempt Cash Fund value all of their securities at
amortized cost. AIM High Income Municipal Fund, AIM Municipal Bond Fund, AIM
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of Connecticut and AIM Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value
variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature
exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of
such securities.

  The AIM Funds value all other securities and assets at their fair value.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S.
dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. In addition, if,
between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the
NYSE, events occur that materially affect the value of the security, the AIM
Funds may value the security at its fair value as determined in good faith by or
under the supervision of the Board of Directors or Trustees of the AIM Fund. The
effect of using fair value pricing is that an AIM Fund's net asset value will be
subject to the judgment of the Board of Directors or Trustees or its designee
instead of being determined by the market. Because some of the AIM Funds may
invest in securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges, the value
of those funds' shares may change on days when you will not be able to purchase
or redeem shares.

  Each AIM Fund determines the net asset value of its shares as of the close of
the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business. AIM Money Market Fund also
determines its net asset value as of 12:00 noon Eastern Time on each day the
NYSE is open for business.

TIMING OF ORDERS

You can purchase, exchange or redeem shares during the hours the NYSE is open
for business. The AIM Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at
the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in
good form. An AIM Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual
circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as
when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.

TAXES

In general, dividends and distributions you receive are taxable as ordinary
income or long-term capital gains for federal income tax purposes, whether you
reinvest them in additional shares or take them in cash. Distributions are
taxable to you at different rates depending on the length of time the fund holds
its assets. Different tax rates apply to ordinary income and long-term capital
gain distributions, regardless of how long you have held your shares. Every
year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and
distributions you received from each AIM Fund during the prior year.

  Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of AIM
Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. Exchanges of shares for
shares of another AIM Fund are treated as a sale, and any gain realized on the
transaction will generally be subject to federal income tax.

  INVESTORS IN TAX-EXEMPT FUNDS SHOULD READ THE INFORMATION UNDER THE HEADING
"OTHER INFORMATION -- SPECIAL TAX INFORMATION REGARDING THE FUND" IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.

  The foreign, state and local tax consequences of investing in AIM Fund shares
may differ materially from the federal income tax consequences described above.
You should consult your tax advisor before investing.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AIM CHARTER FUND (CHARTER)

The fund's primary investment objective is growth of capital with a secondary
objective of current income. The fund's investment objectives may be changed by
the fund's Board of Directors without shareholder approval.


  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.


  The fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to
achieve its investment objectives. If the fund does trade in this way, it may
incur increased transaction costs and brokerage commissions, both of which can
lower the actual return on your investment. Active trading may also increase
short-term capital gains and losses, which may affect the taxes you have to pay.

AIM CONSTELLATION FUND (CONSTELLATION)

The fund's investment objective is growth of capital. The fund's investment
objective may be changed by the fund's Board of Directors without shareholder
approval.


  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.


AIM WEINGARTEN FUND (WEINGARTEN)

The fund's investment objective is to seek growth of capital primarily by
investing in common stocks of seasoned and better-capitalized companies. The
investment objective may be changed by the fund's Board of Directors without
shareholder approval.

  The fund's portfolio managers focus on companies that have experienced
above-average growth in earnings and have excellent prospects for future growth.
The fund's portfolio managers consider whether to sell a particular security
when any of those factors materially changes.

ALL FUNDS

Each fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities.


  In anticipation of or in response to adverse market conditions, for cash
management purposes, or for defensive purposes, each of the funds may
temporarily hold all or a portion of its assets in cash, money market
instruments, shares of affiliated money market funds, bonds or other debt
securities. As a result, a fund may not achieve its investment objective.


PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the
funds and that the income you may receive from your investment in Charter may
vary. The value of your investment in a fund will go up and down with the prices
of the securities in which the fund invests. The prices of equity securities
change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective
earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions,
interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. This is especially
true with respect to equity securities of smaller companies, whose prices may go
up and down more than equity securities of larger, more-established companies.
Also, since equity securities of smaller companies may not be traded as often as
equity securities of larger, more-established companies, it may be difficult or
impossible for a fund to sell securities at a desirable price.

  The values of the convertible securities in which the funds may invest also
will be affected by market interest rates, the risk that the issuer may default
on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying common stock
into which these securities may be converted. Specifically, since these types of
convertible securities pay fixed interest and dividends, their values may fall
if market interest rates rise and rise if market interest rates fall.
Additionally, an issuer may have the right to buy back certain of the
convertible securities at a time and at a price that is unfavorable to the fund.

  Foreign securities have additional risks, including exchange rate changes,
political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information about these
companies, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict
financial and accounting controls and standards.

  The value of your shares could be adversely affected if the computer systems
used by the funds' investment advisor and the funds' other service providers are
unable to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900.

  The funds' investment advisor and independent technology consultants are
working to avoid year 2000-related problems in its systems and to obtain
assurances that other service providers are taking similar steps. Year 2000
problems may also affect issuers in whose securities the funds invest.

  An investment in the funds is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency.

with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

  The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
fund's gross operating expenses remain the same. To the extent fees are waived,
the expenses will be lower. Although your actual returns and costs may be higher
or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
DIVIDENDS


The funds generally declare and pay dividends, if any, annually, with respect to
Constellation and Weingarten, and quarterly, with respect to Charter. Following
Charter's June 1999 quarterly dividend, the fund will begin declaring and paying
dividends, if any, annually.

CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS

The funds generally distribute long-term and short-term capital gains (including
any net gains from foreign currency transactions), if any, annually.

SUITABILITY FOR INVESTORS

The Institutional Classes of the funds are intended for use by institutions,
particularly banks, acting for themselves or in a fiduciary or similar capacity.
Shares of the Institutional Classes of the funds are available for collective
and common trust funds of banks, banks investing for their own account and banks
investing for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states,
cities, or government agencies) that does not pay commissions or distribution
fees. Prospective investors should determine if an investment in a fund is
consistent with the objectives of an account and with applicable state and
federal laws and regulations. Fund Management Company (the distributor) will
review each application for purchase of the Institutional Classes and reserves
the right to reject any order to purchase based upon a review of the suitability
of the investor.

  The Institutional Classes of the funds are designed to be convenient and
economical vehicles in which institutions can invest in a portfolio of equity
securities. An investment in the funds may relieve the institution of many of
the investment and administrative burdens encountered when investing in equity
securities directly. These include: selection and diversification of portfolio
investments; surveying the market for the best price at which to buy and sell;
valuation of portfolio securities; receipt, delivery and safekeeping of
securities; and portfolio recordkeeping. It is anticipated that most investors
will perform their own subaccounting.

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PURCHASING SHARES

The minimum initial investment in any of the funds is $100,000. No minimum
amount is required for subsequent investments in a fund nor are minimum balances
required.

  Shares of the Institutional Class of each fund are sold on a continuing basis
at their respective net asset values. Although no sales charge is imposed in
connection with the purchase of shares, banks or other financial institutions
may charge a recordkeeping, account maintenance or other fee to their customers,
and beneficial holders of shares of the funds should consult with such
institutions to obtain a schedule of such fees. Institutions may be requested to
maintain separate master accounts in each fund for shares held by the
institution (a) for its own account, for the account of other institutions and
for accounts for which the institution acts as a fiduciary; and (b) for accounts
for which the institutions acts in some other capacity. An institution's master
accounts and subaccounts with a fund may be aggregated for the purpose of the
minimum investment requirement. Prior to the initial purchase of shares, an
account application must be completed and sent to Fund Management Company (the
distributor) at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77046-1173. An
account application may be obtained from the distributor.

  In order to be accepted for execution, purchase orders must be submitted in
proper form and received during the hours the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is
open for business and such orders will be confirmed at the net asset value
determined as of the close of that day (trade date). Subsequent purchases of
shares of the funds may also be made via AIM LINK Remote, a personal computer
application software product.

  Payments for shares purchased must be in the form of federal funds or other
funds immediately available to the funds and must be made on the "settlement
date," which shall be the next business day of the funds following the trade
date. Federal Reserve wires should be sent as early as possible on the
settlement date in order to facilitate crediting to the shareholder's account.
Any funds received in respect of an order which is not accepted by a fund and
any funds received for which an order has not been received will be returned to
the sending institution. An order to purchase shares must specify which fund is
being purchased, otherwise any funds received will be returned to the sending
institution.

REDEEMING SHARES

TIMING OF REDEMPTIONS

You can redeem shares during the hours the NYSE is open for business. A fund may
postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or
suspends trading.

  A shareholder may redeem any or all of its shares at the net asset value next
determined after receipt of the redemption request in proper form by the
applicable fund. Redemption requests with respect to shares for which
certificates have not been issued are normally made by calling the distributor.

  Shareholders may request a redemption by telephone. The transfer agent and the
distributor will not be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any
telephone redemption request effected in accordance with the authorization set
forth in the account application if they reasonably believe such request to be
genuine, but may in certain cases be liable for losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent transactions. Procedures for verification of telephone transactions
may include recordings of telephone transactions (maintained for six months),
and mailings of confirmation promptly after the transaction. Redemption of
shares of the funds may also be made via AIM LINK Remote.

TIMING AND METHOD OF PAYMENT

If a redemption request is received during the hours the NYSE is open for
business, the redemption will be effected at the net asset value determined as
of the close of that day (the redemption date).

  Payment for redeemed shares is normally made by Federal Reserve wire to the
commercial bank account designated in the shareholder's Account Application, but
may be remitted by check upon request by a shareholder. The proceeds of a
redemption request will be wired on the next business day following the
redemption date.

  Payment for shares redeemed by mail and payment for telephone redemptions in
amounts under $1,000 may, at the option of a fund, be made by check mailed
within seven days after receipt of the redemption request in proper form. A fund
may make payment for telephone redemptions in excess of $1,000 by check when it
is considered to be in the fund's best interest to do so.

REDEMPTIONS BY THE FUNDS

If a fund determines that you have provided incorrect information in opening an
account or in the course of conducting subsequent transactions, the fund may, at
its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.

  The Board of Directors may redeem shares if it determines in its sole
discretion that failure to so redeem may have materially adverse consequences to
the shareholder of such fund.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 EACH OF THE FUNDS AND THE DISTRIBUTOR RESERVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO REJECT
 OR CANCEL ANY PART OF ANY PURCHASE OR EXCHANGE ORDER; MODIFY ANY TERMS OR
 CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE OF SHARES OF ANY FUND; OR WITHDRAW ALL OR ANY PART OF
 THE OFFERING MADE BY THIS PROSPECTUS. TO PROTECT THE INTERESTS OF INVESTORS,
 EACH FUND AND THE DISTRIBUTOR MAY REJECT ANY ORDER CONSIDERED MARKET-TIMING
 ACTIVITY.

PRICING OF SHARES

Each of the funds prices its shares based on its net asset value. The funds
value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at
market value. The funds value short-term investments maturing within 60 days at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.

The funds value all other securities and assets at their fair value. Securities
and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based
on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. In addition, if, between the time
trading ends on a particular security and the close of the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE), events occur that materially affect the value of the security,
the funds may value the security at its fair value as determined in good faith
by or under the supervision of the Board of Directors of the funds. The effect
of using fair value pricing is that a fund's net asset value will be subject to
the judgment of the Board of Directors or its designee instead of being
determined by the market. Because some of the funds may invest in securities
that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges, the value of those fund's shares
may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares.

  Each fund determines the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the
NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business. The funds price purchase and
redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent
receives an order in good form.

TAXES

In general, dividends and distributions you receive are taxable as ordinary
income or long-term capital gains for federal income tax purposes, whether you
reinvest them in additional shares or take them in cash. Distributions are
taxable to you at different rates depending on the length of time the fund holds
its assets. Different rates of tax apply to ordinary income and long-term
capital gain distributions. Every year, information showing the amount of
dividends and distributions you received from each fund during the prior year
will be sent to you.

  Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of fund
shares will be subject to federal income tax.

  The foreign, state and local tax consequences of investing in fund shares may
differ materially from the federal income tax consequences described above. You
should consult your tax advisor before investing.

OBTAINING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More information may be obtained free of charge upon request. The Statement of
Additional Information (SAI), a current version of which is on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), contains more details about the funds
and is incorporated by reference into the prospectus (is legally a part of this
prospectus). Annual and semiannual reports to shareholders contain additional
information about each fund's investments. Each fund's annual report also
discusses the market conditions and investment strategies that significantly
affected the fund's performance during its last fiscal year.

  If you have questions about these funds, another fund in The AIM Family of
Funds--Registered Trademark--or your account, or wish to obtain free copies of
a fund's current SAI or annual or semiannual reports, please contact us

Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control With Registrant

   Provide a list or diagram of all persons directly or indirectly controlled
by or under common control with the Registrant. For any person controlled by
another person, disclose the percentage of voting securities owned by the
immediately controlling person or other basis of that person's control. For
each company, also provide the state or other sovereign power under the laws of
which the company is organized.

         None.

Item 25. Indemnification

         State the general effect of any contract, arrangement or statute under
which any director, officer, underwriter or affiliated person of the Registrant
is insured or indemnified against any liability incurred in their official
capacity, other than insurance provided by any director, officer, affiliated
person, or underwriter for their own protection.

         Under the terms of the Maryland General Corporation Law and the
         Registrant's Charter and By-Laws, the Registrant may indemnify any
         person who was or is a director, officer or employee of the Registrant
         to the maximum extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation
         Law; provided, however, that any such indemnification (unless ordered
         by a court) shall be made by the Registrant only as authorized in the
         specific case upon a determination that indemnification of such person
         is proper in the circumstances. Such determination shall be made (I)
         by the Board of Directors, by a majority vote of a quorum which
         consists of directors who are neither "interested persons" of the
         Registrant as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, nor parties
         to the proceeding, or (ii) if the required quorum is not obtainable
         or, if a quorum of such directors so directs, by independent legal
         counsel in a written opinion. No indemnification will be provided by
         the Registrant to any director or officer of the Registrant for any
         liability to the Registrant or shareholders to which he would
         otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
         gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty.

         Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
         Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
         persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
         otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
         public policy as expressed in the 1940 Act and is, therefore
         unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
         such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
         incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
         Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
         proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
         person in connection with the securities being registered, the
         Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
         been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
         appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
         it is against public policy as expressed in the 1940 Act and will be
         governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Insurance coverage
         is provided under a joint Mutual Fund & Investment Advisory
         Professional and Directors & Officers Liability Policy, issued by ICI
         Mutual Insurance Company, with a $35,000,000 limit of liability.

substantial nature that each investment advisor and each director, officer or
partner of the advisor, is or has been, engaged within the last two fiscal
years, for his or her own account or in the capacity of director, officer,
