REPORT FROM THE FUND MANAGERS

The G.T. Global Growth & Income Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and
current income. In an effort to meet both objectives, the Fund invests in common
and convertible preferred stock of blue-chip companies as well as high-quality
government bonds from around the world.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Fund's total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 1995, was 6.27% for
Class A shares (1.22% including the maximum 4.75% sales charge). Total return
for Class B shares was 5.57% (0.57 % including the maximum effect of the 5%
contingent deferred sales charge). During the same period, the Morgan Stanley
Capital International (MSCI) World Index(1) returned 10.03%, while the total
return for the J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index(2) was 15.36%. The
indices are not available for investment and do not include the effects of sales
charges and professional management fees. For more performance information,
please see page 6.
The Fund's underperformance compared to the indices is primarily attributable to
two factors. First, over the year the Fund maintained a lower weighting in the
U.S. stock market than the benchmark (approximately 22% of the Fund's equity
exposure was to the U.S. versus 41.5% for the MSCI Index). Since the U.S. was
the best-performing major stock market during the period, the Fund's performance
suffered accordingly. Nevertheless, we have remained underweighted in the U.S.
because, at recent record levels for the S&P 500, there are few stocks that meet
our purchase criteria. Second, we expected the U.S. dollar to recover in early
1995 and employed foreign currency hedges, as provided for in the prospectus.
The dollar did not recover as anticipated, and thus the Fund did not benefit
from currency gains when the dollar weakened.

- ------------------
(1) The MSCI World Index is an arithmetic average, weighted by market value, of
the performance
 of 1,577 securities listed on major world stock exchanges -- the U.S., Europe,
Canada, Australia,
 New Zealand and the Far East. It includes the effect of reinvested dividends
and is measured in U.S. dollars.
(2) The J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index is an arithmetic average,
    weighted by market value, of government bonds from 13 major bond markets. It
    includes the effect of reinvested dividends and is measured in U.S. dollars.
    The Fund has changed benchmarks from indices provided by Salomon Brothers to
    indices provided by J.P. Morgan. Because the J.P. Morgan indices use
    weightings based on liquidity, we consider them a better reflection of the
    investment opportunities.

                                                                               1

MARKET REVIEW
Over the period, developed world financial markets made a steady recovery as
inflation fears of 1994 gradually subsided. The recovery of government bond
prices in the U.S., Europe and Japan, and the sluggish performance in the price
of gold seem to provide clear evidence in support of declining inflation
expectations.

Most major markets have responded positively to the combination of moderating
economic growth and modest inflation. Throughout 1995, the U.S. has been the
leading performer as long bond yields declined below 6.5% and the unique U.S.
technology sector shot up. Elsewhere, the Japanese Nikkei Index has recovered
from lows of 14,500 in July of this year to current 18,000 levels, as a result
of monetary authorities reducing short-term interest rates to the historic low
level of 0.5%. European stocks and bonds appreciated over the period, although
they continued to lag the U.S. Overall, we believe European markets have much to
gain from lower inflation expectations, but their economies remain overregulated
and sluggish compared to the U.S.

Despite continued high levels of economic growth, many Asian markets posted
declines. In Asia, asset prices were depressed by the tight credit policies of
central banks fending off the incipient inflationary pressures and the aftermath
of the speculative blow-off in equity markets in late 1993. An exception is Hong
Kong, where prices have recovered in recent months as concerns about the Chinese
economy have alleviated.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY
Our strategy remains to identify assets that meet our valuation criteria and, at
the same time, provide exposure to key economic trends as we perceive them. This
led us to commit some 35% of the portfolio to government bonds over the 12-month
period. We continue to be attracted by the higher, above-inflation income
returns available from bond markets, particularly in Europe. We are likely to
retain a bond weighting of this magnitude as long as we believe inflation
expectations have further to decline. Of course, portfolio holdings are subject
to change with changing market conditions. Our bond holdings at October 31 were
split between Europe and the U.S., with a duration of over seven years, compared
to the benchmark's four years, and we are anticipating potentially good capital
returns from these instruments.

<PAGE>
On the stock side, we favor interest rate-sensitive stock markets and
corporations, especially those more cheaply valued than the world average, as
measured by dividend yields and price/cash multiples (price per share divided by
net cash per share). The Fund's equity portion is underweighted in the U.S. and
Japan, overweighted in Hong Kong and Australia and overweighted in Europe,
particularly the UK and the hard currency markets of the Netherlands,
Switzerland and Germany. Neither the U.S., Japan, nor the Pacific ex-Japan
offers sufficient stocks that meet our investment standards. In Japan
especially, even after the five-year bear market, there are few or no companies
with yields sufficient to merit inclusion. Moreover, price/cash multiples in
Japan (12 times) and the Pacific (11.4 times) are well above the world average
(9.1 times).

Meanwhile, European stock markets offer an average yield of 3.2%, as compared to
a 2.3% yield of the World Index. The 7.1 times price/cash multiple for Europe
also compares favorably to the 9.1 times for the World Index. We expect bond
prices to rise in Europe as economies continue to slow, which we hope will focus
investor attention on the relatively cheap values available in equity markets.

OUTLOOK
The outlook generally remains positive for financial markets. We believe the
current structure of the portfolio, with its emphasis on what we feel are
undervalued assets, should begin to deliver more competitive relative
performance. If the U.S. market begins to lag the rest of the world after
several years of strong gains, the Fund could potentially stand to benefit.

KEY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS*

SWISS BANK CORP.                                                     SWITZERLAND
Swiss Bank Corp. offers a broad range of banking operations, including foreign
exchange and bank note dealings, precious metal trading, mortgages and building
loans. It has operations throughout Switzerland and an extensive network of
international subsidiaries.

ELEKTROWATT AG                                                       SWITZERLAND
Elektrowatt is a Swiss electric power utility offering an above-average dividend
yield compared to the Swiss equity market as a whole. Since utilities have
historically been extremely interest rate-sensitive, Elektrowatt's price should
continue to appreciate if Swiss interest rates post further declines, as we
expect they will.

BROKEN HILL PROPRIETARY COMPANY                                        AUSTRALIA
Broken Hill Proprietary Company (BHP) is an Australian-based international
natural resources company with extensive interests in oil, gas, steel and
mining. We believe its shares will respond to investor expectations of higher
growth in the developed world. The company has been successfully managed during
a difficult period in its core markets, which we believe could translate into
increased dividend growth.

UNION BANK OF SWITZERLAND                                            SWITZERLAND
Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) provides a wide range of banking and financial
services including retail banking and basic banking services, corporate finance,
merchant banking, investment counseling and portfolio management, trading, and
risk management. The company also invests in real estate. UBS is AAA-rated by
Standard & Poor's and pays attractive dividends.

NATIONAL AUSTRALIA BANK (NAB)                                          AUSTRALIA
NAB is one of Australia's largest banks, with a successful record of asset
growth and diversification that has driven dividends to 9.4% annually over the
past five years. By valuation measures, such as historic dividend yield (6.8%)
and price/ book value (price of a stock divided by the per share total net value
of the company's assets -- 1.63 times), we consider the company undervalued,
particularly in light of our expectations of declining Australian inflation and
continued growth in the Pacific Basin.

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB                                               UNITED STATES
Bristol-Myers Squibb offers a wide range of pharmaceutical and toiletry products
and is valued at approximately US$37 billion. The company is the result of one
of the health care mergers that have been a feature of the sector on a global
basis over the past few years. We expect the company's profits to be fueled by
merger benefits for some time to come. In the meantime, the shares are supported
by a historic dividend yield of 3.9%, well in excess of the U.S., stock market
and world average.

CS HOLDINGS (CSH)                                                    SWITZERLAND
Since 1990, CSH has expanded its balance sheet by 80% by acquiring domestic
banks, as well as other businesses including international investment banking,
such as U.S.-based First Boston. The company's stock yields at a premium to the
Swiss market, despite ample opportunities for cost reduction and revenue
generation. The bank has recently focused on shareholder-friendly services such
as its recent conversion of three classes of shares into one.

ROYAL DUTCH PETROLEUM CORP.                                          NETHERLANDS
This Anglo-Dutch oil company, one of the largest internationally, is a key
player in the energy industry, both within Europe and on a global basis. Its
success is based on a proven track record of exploration, together with well-run
marketing and chemical activities. Although the company is exposed to a number
of competitive commodity businesses, it has a solid history of dividend growth.
We see it in a healthy position to expand as a result of its ability to
restructure.

GKN                                                                           UK
GKN is the premier UK engineering company with high market shares in niche areas
such as constant velocity joints for autos and industrial pallets. We believe
this means its margins are under less threat than they would be at more exposed
companies. We think GKN's growth prospects are good, as auto companies continue
to outsource production.

TELECOM CORPORATION OF NEW ZEALAND LTD.                              NEW ZEALAND
We view this full service telecommunications company as having the potential to
benefit from continuing deregulation of the New Zealand economy. We expect
revenues to grow from the increasing demand for toll and cellular services that,
as yet, have shown no signs of slowing. In addition, the company is using its
strong cash flow to invest in added value products such as advanced networks and
information and entertainment services.

                                                                               5

THE CHART AT RIGHT SHOWS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE G.T. GLOBAL
GROWTH & INCOME FUND CLASS A SHARES SINCE THE FUND'S INCEPTION VERSUS THE MSCI
WORLD INDEX AND THE J.P. MORGAN GLOBAL GOVERNMENT BOND INDEX AND THE SALOMON
WORLD GOVERNMENT BOND INDEX. THIS REPRESENTS A CUMULATIVE RETURN OF 60.32% AND

ANNUAL REPORT

To the Shareholders of G.T. Global Growth & Income Fund and Board of Directors
of G.T. Investment Funds, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of G.T.
Global Growth & Income Fund, one of the funds organized as a series of G.T.
Investment Funds, Inc., including the portfolio of investments, as of October
31, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period
then ended. These financial statements and the financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and the financial highlights based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
G.T. Global Growth & Income Fund as of October 31, 1995, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of
the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
G.T. Global Growth & Income Fund ("Fund") is a separate series of G.T.
Investment Funds, Inc. ("Company"). The Company is organized as a Maryland
corporation and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended ("1940 Act"), as a non-diversified, open-end management investment
company. The Company has twelve series of shares in operation, each series
corresponding to a distinct portfolio of investments.

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, and Advisor Class shares, each of which has
equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class A and Class B each has
exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. The Fund
commenced sale of Advisor Class shares on June 1, 1995. Investment income,
realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and the common expenses of the
Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net
assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective service and distribution expenses, and may differ in
its transfer agent, registration, and certain other class-specific fees and
expenses.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(A)  PORTFOLIO VALUATION
The Fund calculates the net asset value of and completes orders to purchase,
exchange or repurchase Fund shares on each business day, with the exception of
those days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.

Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which
such securities are traded, or on the principal over-the-counter market on which
such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the
securities are being valued, or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid
price. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the
securities are valued on the exchange determined by G.T. Capital Management,
Inc. ("G.T. Capital") to be the primary market.

Fixed income investments are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid and
ask prices for such investments or, if such prices are not available, at prices
for investments of comparative maturity, quality and type; however, when G.T.
Capital deems it appropriate, prices obtained for the day of valuation from a
bond pricing service will be used. Short-term investments with a maturity of 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost adjusted for foreign exchange
translation and market fluctuations, if any.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available (including
restricted securities which are subject to limitations on their sale) are valued
at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the
Company's Board of Directors.

Portfolio securities which are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are
generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their
respective exchanges, and those values are then translated into U.S. dollars at
the current exchange rates, except that when an occurrence subsequent to the
time a value was so established is likely to have materially changed such value,
then the fair value of those securities will be determined by consideration of
other factors by or under the direction of the Company's Board of Directors.

(B)  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market
values of foreign securities, currency holdings, and other assets and
liabilities are recorded in the books and records of the Fund after translation
to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates on that day. The cost of each
security is determined using historical exchange rates. Income and withholding
taxes are translated at prevailing exchange rates when earned or incurred.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations
arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and
maturities of short-term securities, forward foreign currency contracts, sales
of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized

                                      F-14
<PAGE>
                        G.T. GLOBAL GROWTH & INCOME FUND
between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the
difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding
taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts
actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses
arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments
in securities at year end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(C)  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
With respect to repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund, it is the Fund's
policy to always receive, as collateral, United States government securities or
other high quality debt securities of which the value, including accrued
interest, is at least equal to the amount to be repaid to the Fund under each
agreement at its maturity.

(D)  FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
A forward foreign currency contract ("Forward Contract") is an agreement between
two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The
market value of the Forward Contract fluctuates with changes in currency
exchange rates. The Forward Contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in
market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the
Forward Contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed. Forward Contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amounts shown in the Fund's "Statement of Assets and Liabilities." The Fund
could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of the
contract or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably. The Fund may enter
into Forward Contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of
securities, or to hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between
currencies.

(E)  OPTION ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium
received is included in the Fund's "Statement of Assets and Liabilities" as an
asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently
marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. The current
market value of an option listed on a traded exchange is valued at its last bid
price, or, in the case of an over-the-counter option, is valued at the average
of the last bid prices obtained from brokers. If an option expires on its
stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction, a gain or loss is realized without regard to any unrealized gain or
loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is
extinguished. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized
from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are
increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is
exercised, the cost of the underlying security purchased would be decreased by
the premium originally received. The Fund can write options only on a covered
basis, which, for a call, requires that the Fund hold the underlying security
and, for a put, requires the Fund to set aside cash, U.S. government securities,
or other liquid, high grade debt securities in an amount not less than the
exercise price or otherwise provide adequate cover at all times while the put
option is outstanding. The Fund may use options to manage its exposure to the
stock or bond market and to fluctuations in currency values or interest rates.

The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is
included in the Fund's "Statement of Assets and Liabilities" as an investment
and subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value of the
option. If an option which the Fund has purchased expires on the stipulated
expiration date, the Fund realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the
option. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the Fund realizes a
gain or loss, depending on whether proceeds from the closing sale transaction
are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a call
option, the cost of the securities acquired by exercising the call is increased
by the premium paid to buy the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, it
realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the
proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid.

The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally
paid. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund may forego the
opportunity of profit if the market value of the underlying security or index
increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that
the Fund may incur a loss if the market value of the underlying security or
index decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there is the risk the
Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid
secondary market.

(F)  FUTURES CONTRACTS
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a
security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract the
Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal
to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange on which the
contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or
pay to the broker an amount

                                      F-15
<PAGE>
                        G.T. GLOBAL GROWTH & INCOME FUND
of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts
or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Fund as
unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract
at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The potential
risk to the Fund is that the change in value of the underlying securities may
not correlate to the change in value of the contracts. The Fund may use futures
contracts to manage its exposure to the stock or bond market and to fluctuations
in currency values or interest rates.

(G) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy
or sell is executed). The cost of securities sold is determined on a first-in,
first-out basis, unless otherwise specified. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Where a high
level of uncertainty exists as to collection, income is recorded net of all
withholding tax with any rebate recorded when received. The Fund may trade
securities on other than normal settlement terms. This may increase the risk if
the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to
subsequently invest at less advantageous prices.

(H)  PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
At October 31, 1995, stocks with an aggregate value of approximately $62,622,697
were on loan to brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral of
$66,191,073. For international securities, cash collateral is received by the
Fund against loaned securities in an amount at least equal to 105% of the market
value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This collateral
must be maintained at not less than 103% of the market value of the loaned
securities during the period of the loan. For domestic securities, cash
collateral is received by the Fund against loaned securities in an amount at
least equal to 102% of the market value of the loaned securities at the
inception of each loan. This collateral must be maintained at not less than 100%
of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. For
the period ended October 31, 1995, the Fund received $192,015 of income from
securities lending which was used to offset the Fund's custody expenses.

(I)  TAXES
It is the policy of the Fund to meet the requirements for qualification as a
"regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended ("Code"). It is also the intention of the Fund to make distributions
sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code.
Therefore, no provision has been made for Federal taxes on income, capital
gains, or unrealized appreciation of securities held, and excise tax on income
and capital gains. The Fund currently has a capital loss carryforward of
$24,154,904, which expires in 2003.

(J)  DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-date. Income
and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income
tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains
on various investment securities held by the Fund and timing differences.

(K)  DEFERRED ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES
Expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with its organization, its initial
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with various states
and the initial public offering of its shares aggregated $107,435. These
expenses have been amortized on a straightline basis over a five-year period.

(L)  FOREIGN SECURITIES
There are certain additional considerations and risks associated with investing
in foreign securities and currency transactions that are not inherent in
investments of domestic origin. The Fund's investments in emerging market
countries may involve greater risks than investments in more developed markets
and the price of such investments may be volatile. These risks of investing in
foreign and emerging markets may include foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations, perceived credit risk, adverse political and economic developments
and possible adverse foreign government intervention.

(M)  INDEXED SECURITIES
The Fund may invest in indexed securities whose value is linked either directly
or indirectly to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, equities,
indices, or other reference instruments. Indexed securities may be more volatile
than the reference instrument itself, but any loss is limited to the amount of
the original investment.

(N)  RESTRICTED SECURITIES
The Fund is permitted to invest in privately placed restricted securities. These
securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the
public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may
involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an
acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period, restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues) are shown at the end of the Fund's Portfolio
of Investments.

                        G.T. GLOBAL GROWTH & INCOME FUND

2. RELATED PARTIES
G.T. Capital is the Fund's investment manager and administrator. The Fund pays
investment management and administration fees to G.T. Capital at the annualized
rate of 0.975% on the first $500 million of average daily net assets of the
Fund; 0.95% on the next $500 million; 0.925% on the next $500 million and 0.90%
on amounts thereafter. These fees are computed daily and paid monthly, and are
subject to reduction in any year to the extent that the Fund's expenses
(exclusive of brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, distribution-related
expenses and extraordinary expenses) exceed the most stringent limits prescribed
by the laws or regulations of any state in which the Fund's shares are offered
for sale, based on the average total net asset value of the Fund.

G.T. Global Financial Services, Inc. ("G.T. Global"), an affiliate of G.T.
Capital, serves as the Fund's distributor. The Fund offers Class A, Class B, and
Advisor Class shares for purchase.

Class A shares are subject to initial sales charges imposed at the time of
purchase, in accordance with the schedule included in the Fund's current
prospectus. G.T. Global collects the sales charges imposed on sales of Class A
shares, and reallows a portion of such charges to dealers through which the
sales are made. For the year ended October 31, 1995, G.T. Global retained
$80,112 of such sales charges. Purchases of Class A shares exceeding $500,000
may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") upon redemption,
in accordance with the Fund's current prospectus. G.T. Global collected CDSCs in
the amount of $19,017 for the year ended October 31, 1995. G.T. Global also
makes ongoing shareholder servicing and trail commission payments to dealers
whose clients hold Class A shares.

Class B shares are not subject to initial sales charges. When Class B shares are
sold, G.T. Global from its own resources pays commissions to dealers through
which the sales are made. Certain redemptions of Class B shares made within six
years of purchase are subject to CDSCs, in accordance with the Fund's current
prospectus. For the year ended October 31, 1995, G.T. Global collected CDSC's in
the amount of $1,533,810. In addition, G.T. Global makes ongoing shareholder
servicing and trail commission payments to dealers whose clients hold Class B
shares.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Company's Board of Directors has
adopted separate distribution plans with respect to the Fund's Class A shares
("Class A Plan") and Class B shares ("Class B Plan"), pursuant to which the Fund
reimburses G.T. Global for a portion of its shareholder servicing and
distribution expenses. Under the Class A Plan, the Fund may pay G.T. Global a
service fee at the annualized rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund's Class A shares for G.T. Global's expenditures incurred in
servicing and maintaining shareholder accounts, and may pay G.T. Global a
distribution fee at the annualized rate of up to 0.35% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund's Class A shares, less any amounts paid by the Fund as the
aforementioned service fee, for G.T. Global's expenditures incurred in providing
services as distributor. All expenses for which G.T. Global is reimbursed under
the Class A Plan will have been incurred within one year of such reimbursement.

Pursuant to the Fund's Class B Plan, the Fund may pay G.T. Global a service fee
at the annualized rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the
Fund's Class B shares for G.T. Global's expenditures incurred in servicing and
maintaining shareholder accounts, and may pay G.T. Global a distribution fee at
the annualized rate of up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's
Class B Shares for G.T. Global's expenditures incurred in providing services as
distributor. Expenses incurred under the Class B Plan in excess of 1.00%
annually may be carried forward for reimbursement in subsequent years as long as
that Plan continues in effect.

G.T. Capital and G.T. Global voluntarily have undertaken to limit the Fund's
expenses (exclusive of brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, and extraordinary
expenses) to the maximum annual rate of 1.85%, 2.50%, and 1.50% of the average
daily net assets of the Fund's Class A, Class B, and Advisor Class shares,
respectively. If necessary, this limitation will be effected by waivers by G.T.
Capital of investment management and administration fees, waivers by G.T. Global
of payments under the Class A Plan and/or Class B Plan and/or reimbursements by
G.T. Capital or G.T. Global of portions of the Fund's other operating expenses.

G.T. Global Investor Services, Inc. ("G.T. Services"), an affiliate of G.T.
Capital and G.T. Global, is the transfer agent of the Fund.

Effective May 1, 1995, G.T. Capital has assumed the role of pricing and
accounting agent for the Fund. The monthly fee for these services to G.T.
Capital is a percentage, not to exceed 0.03% annually, of the Fund's average
daily net assets. The annual fee rate is derived by applying 0.03% to the first
