The following information modifies that found in the above-
referenced prospectuses:
The "Foreign investments" subsection of the "Investment policies
and risks" section of the prospectuses for IDS Global Growth Fund
and IDS International Fund is revised as follows:
"Foreign investments are subject to currency fluctuations, and
political and economic risks of the countries in which the
investments are made, including the possibility of seizure or
nationalization of companies, imposition of withholding taxes on
income, establishment of exchange controls or adoption of other
restrictions that might affect an investment adversely. The
limited liquidity and price fluctuations in emerging markets could
make investments in developing countries more volatile."
The "Foreign investments" subsection of the "Investment policies
and risks" section of the prospectus for IDS Global Bond Fund is
supplemented as follows:
"Foreign investments are subject to currency fluctuations, and
political and economic risks of the countries in which the
investments are made, including the possibility of seizure or
nationalization of companies, imposition of withholding taxes on
income, establishment of exchange controls or adoption of other
restrictions that might affect an investment adversely. The
limited liquidity and price fluctuations in emerging markets could
make investments in developing countries more volatile.
Investing in the debt obligations of emerging market nations (rated
below investment grade) involves certain risks. Such nations are
often dependent on external investment sources which can render a
higher volatility to the performance of such obligations, including
potential defaults, than is the case with developed nation debt.
Payment of principal and interest on sovereign debt is dependent on
the country's willingness to pay. The fund may have limited legal
recourse in the event a sovereign government is unwilling or unable
to pay its debt."
The following policy is revised and moved from the "Foreign
investments" section in IDS Global Bond Fund's prospectus, to the
first paragraph of the "Investment policies and risks" section of
the same fund's prospectus:<PAGE>
