[AIM LOGO APPEARS HERE]          Dear Shareholder:
- --Registered Trademark--
                [PHOTO of        As the end of the six-month reporting period
            Charles T. Bauer     arrived, the U.S. economy continued to move
             Chairman of the     ahead at a lively pace. The Federal Reserve
LETTER      Board of The Fund    Board (the Fed) increased the key federal
TO OUR       APPEARS HERE]       funds rate a total of 75 basis points during
SHAREHOLDERS                     1999. At the beginning of this reporting
             period, the Fed's primary focus was to stabilize the markets in
             anticipation of a potential Y2K-related liquidity crisis. Y2K
             thankfully turned out to be a non-event. As 2000 began, the robust
             domestic economy (coupled with inflationary tendencies in certain
             commodity prices) compelled the Fed to increase the federal funds
             rate 25 basis points on March 21 to 6.00%. The Fed will most likely
             continue to increase short-term rates to contain the equity
             markets' high growth performance; there is a strong consensus among
             financial markets that the Fed will increase rates by 25 basis
             points at the May 16 meeting. If the rate hikes do halt or slow the
             equity markets' activity, the money market sector anticipates more
             incoming cash as the year progresses.

             YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
             Through a combination of short-term cash-management vehicles and
             the selective use of a longer maturity schedule for higher yields,
             the portfolio continued to provide attractive returns. The
             portfolio's weighted average maturity (WAM) was kept at a moderate
             length for much of the period due to concerns about an increase in
             short-term interest rates. The WAM remained in the 18- to 31-day
             range, closing the period at 31 days. The portfolio's Institutional
             Class outperformed its comparative indexes as of February 29, 2000,
             as shown in the table. Net assets of the Institutional Class stood
             at $3.2 billion at the close of the reporting period.
               The portfolio continues to hold the highest credit-quality
             ratings given by three widely known credit-rating agencies: AAAm
             from Standard & Poor's, Aaa from Moody's and AAA from Fitch IBCA.
             These historical ratings are based on an analysis of the
             portfolio's credit quality, composition, management and weekly
             portfolio reviews. AIM is the largest multi-fund complex to have
             all its institutional money market portfolios given the highest
             rating by three nationally recognized ratings agencies, according
             to IBC Financial Data, Inc.
               The Treasury Portfolio seeks to maximize current income to the
             extent consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of
             liquidity. It invests only in direct obligations of the U.S.
             Treasury and in repurchase agreements secured by such obligations.
             Government securities, such as U.S. Treasury bills and notes, offer
             a high degree of safety and guarantee the timely payment of
             principal and interest if held to maturity. An investment in a
             money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
             Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
             Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your
             investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money
             investing in the fund.

             OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE

             Gross domestic product growth for the fourth quarter of 1999 was at
             an annualized rate of 7.3%, and for the year 4.2%. There is no
             evidence of a slowdown; there is no inventory drop-off, and
             consumer spending continues to increase. February's rate increase
             has had a minimal effect on the U.S. economy, which continues full
             steam ahead. The Fed will probably continue to raise interest rates
             until a substantial correction occurs within the equity markets. In
             February, the current period of economic expansion became the
             longest in U.S. history. Many analysts expect this growth to
             continue through at least the first half of 2000. It seems that the
             same story that dogged markets in 1999 is so far continuing, with
             persistent upward pressure on interest rates.
               We are pleased to send you this report on your investment. AIM is
             committed to the primary goals of safety, liquidity and yield in

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS:
(a) U.S. Treasury bills are traded on a discount basis. In such cases the
    interest rate shown represents the rate of discount paid or received at the
    time of purchase by the Portfolio.
(b) Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Portfolio's pro-rata
    interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the
    Portfolio upon entering into the repurchase agreement. The collateral is
    marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the
    sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 29, 2000
(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 three different portfolios, each of which offers separate series
of shares: the Treasury Portfolio, the Government & Agency Portfolio and the
Treasury TaxAdvantage Portfolio. Information presented in these financial
statements pertains only to the Treasury Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), with the
assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio being accounted for
separately. The Portfolio currently offers six different classes of shares: the
Institutional Class, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment
Class, the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class.
Matters affecting each class are voted on exclusively by the shareholders of
each class. The Portfolio is a money market fund whose investment objective is
the maximization of current income to the extent consistent with the
preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
   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. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations - The Portfolio's 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 - Distribution expenses directly attributable to a class of shares
   are charged to that class' operations. All other expenses are allocated
   among the classes.

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 investment 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:

has agreed to pay AIM for certain administrative costs incurred in providing

pay A I M Fund Services, Inc. ("AFS") a fee for providing transfer agent and

2000, AFS was paid $404,304 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, the
Reserve Class and the Resource Class of the Portfolio. The Plan provides that
the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the Cash
Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class pay up to a 0.50%,
0.75%, 0.10%, 1.00%, 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, Personal Investment Class, and the Reserve 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, the Reserve Class or the Resource Class. Any amounts not paid as a
service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. The
Plan also imposes a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-
based sales charges, that may be paid by the Portfolio with respect to each
class. Currently, FMC has elected to waive a portion of its compensation
payable by the Fund such that the compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with
respect to the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class, the
Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class, and the Resource Class equals 0.30%,
0.50%, 0.08%, 0.80% and 0.16%, respectively, maximum annual rate of the average
daily net assets attributable to such class. During the six months ended
February 29, 2000, the Private Investment Class, the Personal Investment Class,
the Cash Management Class, the Reserve Class and the Resource Class paid
$1,009,204, $713,303, $377,093, $503,175 and $246,983, respectively, as
compensation under the Plan. FMC waived fees of $1,311,267 for the same period.
   Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers of AIM, FMC and AFS.
   During the six months ended February 29, 2000, the Portfolio paid legal fees
of $3,626 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as
counsel to the Board of Trustees. A member of that firm is a trustee of the
Fund.

NOTE 3-TRUSTEES' FEES

Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid to trustees who are not an
"interested person" of AIM. The Fund may invest trustees' fees, if so elected
by a trustee, in mutual fund shares in accordance with a deferred compensation
plan.
