[AIM LOGO APPEARS HERE] Dear Shareholder:
[PHOTO of We are pleased to report that during the six months
Charles T. Bauer, covered by this report, Short-Term Investments
Chairman of the Trust (STIT) Treasury Portfolio Institutional Class
LETTER Board of The Fund continued to capture the attractive yields
TO OUR APPEARS HERE] available through a portfolio of U.S. Treasury
SHAREHOLDERS securities and repurchase agreements secured by
such securities.
As of February 29, 1996, the close of the reporting period, the
30-day average yield for the Institutional Class of the Treasury
Portfolio was 5.23%, compared to 4.95% for IBC/Donoghue's Money
Fund Averages(TM)--Government Only/Institutions Only and 4.64% for
IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Averages(TM)-U.S. Treasury & Repurchase
Agreements. The Institutional Class's seven-day yield was 5.23%.
At the close of the reporting period, net assets of the
Institutional Class of the Portfolio were $2.39 billion.
STIT Treasury Portfolio maintained its strict investment
discipline, concentrating investments in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements, with the objective of the maximization
of current income to the extent consistent with the preservation
of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
We are pleased to note that STIT Treasury Portfolio maintained
its AAAm credit quality rating, the highest given by Standard &
Poor's Corporation, a widely known credit rating agency. The AAAm
rating is historical and is based on annual analysis of the
Portfolio's credit quality, composition, management, and weekly
portfolio review.
Financial markets were favorable during the first half of the
reporting period. Inflation seemed thoroughly tamed while economic
growth was a robust 3.6% during the third quarter of 1995.
However, late in 1995, signs of economic weakness began to emerge,
including contraction in industrial production and declines in the
index of leading economic indicators. These were sufficient to
prompt the Federal Reserve Board to lower short-term interest
rates twice, first in December 1995 and again at the end of
January 1996.
At the close of the reporting period, the near-term prognosis
was for slow-to-moderate economic growth coupled with low
inflation. Such conditions could put additional downward pressure
on interest rates, and many believe further rate cuts may be
necessary. However, in testimony before Congress late in February,
Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan described the
economy as "basically on track for sustained growth," leaving open
the possibility that rates could remain unchanged. The relatively
short weighted average maturity of STIT Treasury Portfolio enables
it to respond quickly to changes in the interest rate environment.
At the close of the reporting period, the Portfolio's weighted
average maturity was 39 days.
AIM remains committed to service and to the primary objectives
of safety, liquidity, and yield in institutional money fund
management. We are ready to respond to your comments about this
report and to any questions you may have. Please contact one of
our representatives at 800-659-1005.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ CHARLES T. BAUER
Charles T. Bauer
Chairman
Government securities, such as U.S. Treasury bills and bonds,
offer a high degree of safety and are guaranteed as to timely
payment of principal and interest. Fund shares are not insured
and their yield will vary with market conditions. There can be no
assurance that the Portfolio will be able to maintain a net asset
value of $1.00 per share.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 29, 1996
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Short-Term Investments Trust (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end series, diversified management
investment company. The Fund is organized as a Delaware business trust
consisting of two different portfolios, each of which offers separate series of
shares: the Treasury Portfolio and the Treasury TaxAdvantage Portfolio.
Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the
Treasury Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), with assets, liabilities and operations
of each portfolio being accounted for separately. The Portfolio consists of
five different classes of shares: the Institutional Class, the Private
Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class and
the Resource Class. Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by
the shareholders of each class. As of February 29, 1996, the Resource Class had
not commenced operations. The Portfolio's objective is the maximization of
current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and
the maintenance of liquidity.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Security Valuations - The Portfolio invests only in securities which have
maturities of 397 days or less. The securities are valued on the basis of
amortized cost which approximates market value. This method values a
security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assumes a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
B. Securities Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions - Securities
transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or
losses are computed on the basis of specific identification of the
securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
discounts on investments, is accrued daily. Dividends to shareholders are
declared daily and are paid on the first business day of the following
month.
C. Federal Income Taxes - The Portfolio intends to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment
company and, as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on
otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gains) which is
distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income
taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
D. Expenses - Operating expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are
charged to that class' operations. Expenses which are applicable to more
than one class, e.g., advisory fees, are allocated among them.
NOTE 2-ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with A I M
Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"). Under the terms of the master advisory agreement, AIM
receives a monthly fee with respect to the Portfolio calculated by applying a
monthly rate, based upon the following annual rates, to the average daily net
assets of the Portfolio:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Net Assets RATE
- ----------------------------------------
<S> <C>
First $300 million 0.15%
- ----------------------------------------
Over $300 million to $1.5 billion 0.06%
- ----------------------------------------
Over $1.5 billion 0.05%
- ----------------------------------------
</TABLE>
AIM will, if necessary, reduce its fee for any fiscal year to the extent
required so that the amount of ordinary expenses of the Portfolio (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) paid or
incurred by the Portfolio for such fiscal year does not exceed the applicable
expense limitations imposed by the state securities regulations in any state in
which the Portfolio's shares are qualified for sale. AIM voluntarily reimbursed
expenses of $48,000 on the Personal Investment Class during the six months
ended February 29, 1996.

The Portfolio, pursuant to a master administrative services agreement with
AIM, has agreed to reimburse AIM for certain costs incurred in providing
accounting services to the Portfolio. During the six months ended February 29,
1996, the Portfolio reimbursed AIM $40,783 for such services.
The Portfolio, pursuant to a transfer agent and service agreement, has agreed
to pay A I M Institutional Fund Services, Inc. ("AIFS") a fee for providing
transfer agent and shareholder services to the Portfolio. During the six months
ended February 29, 1996, the Portfolio paid AIFS $126,484 for such services.
Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between Fund Management
Company ("FMC") and the Fund, FMC acts as the exclusive distributor of the
Fund's shares. The Fund has adopted a master distribution plan (the "Plan")
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Private
Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class and
the Resource Class of the Portfolio. The Plan provides that the Private
Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management Class and
the Resource Class pay up to a 0.50%, 0.75%, 0.10%, and 0.20%, respectively,
maximum annual rate of the average daily net assets attributable to such class.
Of this amount, the Fund may pay an asset-based sales charge to FMC and the
Fund may pay a service fee of (a) 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each
of the Private Investment Class and the Personal Investment Class, (b) 0.10% of
the average daily net assets of the Cash Management Class and (c) 0.20% of the
average daily net assets of the Resource Class, to selected banks, broker-
dealers and other financial institutions who offer continuing personal
shareholder services to their customers who purchase and own shares of the
Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash Management
Class or the Resource Class. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such
Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. During the six months ended
February 29, 1996, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class,
the Cash Management Class and the Resource Class accrued for compensation to
FMC amounts of $635,378, $329,835, $137,045 and $0, respectively, under the
Plan. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers of AIM, FMC and
AIFS.
During the six months ended February 29, 1996, the Portfolio paid legal fees
of $7,272 for services provided by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis, Nessen, Kamin &
Frankel. A member of that firm is a trustee of the Fund.
NOTE 3-TRUSTEES' FEES
Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid or accrued to each trustee who is
not an "interested person" of AIM. The Fund invests trustees' fees, if so
elected by a trustee, in mutual fund shares in accordance with a deferred
compensation plan.
