                       Supplement dated January 26, 2000
        to the Statement of Additional Information dated March 1, 1999,
                           as revised October 1, 1999


     The following new paragraph is added after the fifth paragraph appearing
under the heading "PERFORMANCE INFORMATION" on page 2 of the Statement of
Additional Information.

           "The Fund may participate in the initial public offering ("IPO")
     market, and a significant portion of the Fund's returns may be
     attributable to its investment in IPOs. Investments in IPOs could have a
     magnified impact on a fund with a small asset base. There is no guarantee
     that as a fund's assets grow, it will continue to experience substantially
     similar performance by investing in IPOs."

     The following new section is added after the second paragraph appearing
under the heading "PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE -- ALLOCATION OF
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS" on page 32 of the Statement of Additional Information:

     "ALLOCATION OF IPO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

           From time to time, certain of the AIM Funds may become interested in
     participating in security distributions that are available in an IPO, and
     occasions may arise when purchases of such securities by one AIM Fund may
     also be considered for purchase by one or more other AIM Funds. In such
     cases, it shall be AIM's practice to specifically combine or otherwise
     bunch indications of interest for IPO securities for all AIM Funds
     participating in purchase transactions for that security, and to allocate
     such transactions in accordance with the following procedures:

           AIM will determine the eligibility of each AIM Fund that seeks to
     participate in a particular IPO by reviewing a number of factors,
     including suitability of the investment with the AIM Fund's investment
     objective, policies and strategies, the liquidity of the AIM Fund if such
     investment is purchased, and whether the portfolio manager intends to hold
     the security as a long-term investment. The allocation of limited supply
     securities issued in IPOs will be made to eligible AIM Funds in a manner
     designed to be fair and equitable for the eligible AIM Funds, and so that
     there is equal allocation of IPOs over the longer term. Where multiple
     funds are eligible, rotational participation may occur, based on the
     extent to which an AIM Fund has participated in previous IPOs as well as
     the size of the AIM Fund. Each eligible AIM Fund with an asset level of
     less than $500 million, will be placed in one of three tiers, depending
     upon its asset level. The AIM Funds in the tier containing funds with the
     smallest asset levels will participate first, each receiving a 40 basis
     point allocation (rounded to the nearest share round lot that approximates
     40 basis points) (the "Allocation"), based on that AIM Fund's net assets.
     This process continues until all of the AIM Funds in the three tiers
     receive their Allocations, or until the shares are all allocated. Should
     securities remain after this process, eligible AIM Funds will receive
     their Allocations on a straight pro rata basis. For the tier of AIM Funds
     not receiving a full Allocation, the Allocation may be made only to
     certain AIM Funds so that each may receive close to or exactly 40 basis
     points.

           Any AIM Funds with substantially identical investment objectives and
     policies will participate in syndicates in amounts that are substantially
     proportionate to each other. In these cases, the net assets of the largest
     AIM Fund will be used to determine in which tier, as described in the
     paragraph above, such group of AIM Funds will be placed. The price per
     share of securities purchased in such syndicate transactions will be the
     same for each AIM Fund."
