                          supplemented March 15, 1999


This supplement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the supplement
dated March 15, 1999.


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."
