MARKET OVERVIEW
FUND MANAGEMENT
CHENG-HOCK LAU - Chief Investment Officer, Global Fixed Income. Prior to 1995,
Mr. Lau spent a total of 13 years with Fiduciary Trust, Bankers Trust and Glaxo
Enterprises as a fund manager for Global Fixed Income. He received his B.B.A.
from the University of Oregon.
DAVID HUGHES - Head of Global Fixed Income, North America, and a senior
portfolio manager responsible for global/international fixed income and foreign
currency management for the Fixed Income Group. David earned a B.A. in
Economics (with honors) and Policy and Management Studies with concentrations in
International Studies from Dickinson College in 1991.
CRAIG MUNRO - Head of Emerging Market Debt and a portfolio manager in the
Global Fixed Income Group. Craig earned his B.S. in Finance and Economics in
1985 and his M.B.A. in Finance in 1989, both from Fordham University. He is a
Chartered Financial Analyst.
In this report, Mr. Lau, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Munro discuss their views and
expectations for global fixed income markets.
ESTABLISHED MARKETS
In general terms, bond performance in established markets has been relatively
flat over the past few months. However, despite being soundly outshone by the
stock market, bond performance seems to have been satisfactory for investors.
Two reasons may explain this: first, fears of worldwide inflation are not the
issue they once were; and, second, many investors harbor feelings of elemental
caution about the prolonged, white-hot equity market.
At the end of the first quarter of 1998, yields for 30-year U.S. Treasuries were
up only slightly from last year's end of the fourth quarter. First-quarter 1998
yield on shorter-term U.S. Treasuries were down slightly. In mid-January, U.S.
Treasury yields fell to their lowest point in the last 20 years, under the
shadow of Asia's economic crisis. As the quarter wore on, however, the strength
of the U.S. economy overcame these negative effects.
The bond market in Europe was only slightly more favorable than the U.S. market.
Performance was generally flat throughout the first quarter, due to the Asian
situation, and was suppressed by continued low inflation in the region. Yields
fell sharply in many countries because of enthusiasm about interest rate
convergence, as major European countries move toward monetary union next year.
Performance improved in the second quarter on the back of realization that
events in Asia weren't as dire as first feared.
The first-quarter drop in yields further fueled the longest bull market in
history and continued the trend of retail equity investment in Europe. Europe's
growth cycle seems to be undergoing a shift from export-driven economic activity
to domestic demand momentum, particularly in many smaller European markets.

<PAGE>
Growth of derivatives markets has also slowed, reflecting the decline in
volatility in European interest rates and currencies. Again, this comes in
anticipation of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). In general, European
financial markets have enjoyed buoyant conditions.
In Japan, authorities may have begun to realize the importance of opening up
capital markets. In spite of the country's economic malaise, we are seeing
faint signals of change. For example, we believe the increase in corporate bond
issuance last year may suggest a positive trend.
EMERGING MARKETS
The Asian financial crisis has cast a pall over most emerging bond markets. As
expected, established economies were able to weather the Asian crisis with
aplomb. How emerging markets will fare going forward remains to be seen.
Relatively low global inflation and falling bond yields in established markets
have suppressed investors' exuberance for emerging market debt. Investors
apparently remember the apex of the Asian crisis last year, when emerging
markets yield spreads more than doubled relative to U.S. Treasuries.
Fear also exists that the current deflation in Asia could spread throughout the
global economy. As stated earlier, we believe these fears are unfounded.
However, if established markets become inundated with cheap Asian goods,
corporate pricing power and profits could possibly be undermined. We believe
this scenario has bearish implications for global equity markets. Conversely,
the impact on bonds could be favorable.
Latin America is suffering lingering effects of the Asian meltdown. Lower
commodity prices and increased export competition are resulting in deteriorating
trade accounts for most Latin countries and make exchange rates more difficult
to control.
Looking ahead, the trend of Asia's exports could be a good indicator of whether
the region is on a path to recovery. In a global context, we would expect even
slight deflation to favor bonds over stocks.

The chart above shows the performance of the AIM Global Government Income Fund
Class A shares since inception, versus the J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond
Index. This represents a cumulative return of 90.78% and an average annual
total return of 6.61%. The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 initial
investment in the Fund's Class A shares and reflects all Fund expenses and the
maximum 4.75% sales charge. A $10,000 investment in the Fund's Class B shares
at inception on October 22, 1992, would have been valued at $13,536. This
figure reflects all Fund expenses, the applicable contingent deferred sales
charge (5% in the first year, decreasing to 0% after six years) and assumes
complete redemption at the end of the period. A $10,000 investment in Advisor
Class shares at inception on June 1, 1995, would have been worth $11,919 on
April 30, 1998.

INTERVIEW WITH CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER,
GLOBAL FIXED INCOME, HOCK LAU
Q HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A The Fund outperformed its benchmark, (the J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond
Index(5)) over the six months ending April 30, 1998. Total return for Class A
shares was 4.05% (-0.88% including the maximum 4.75% sales charge) and 3.85%
(-1.15% including the maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge) for Class B
shares. During the same period, total return for the J.P. Morgan Global
Government Bond Index was 1.20%.
Q HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
A The Fund maintained overweighted bond positions in the European bloc and an
underweighted position in Japan during this review period. Additionally, we
favored the dollar bloc Australian market as austere fiscal policies led to low
inflation. While we were underweight in the United States during the review
period, strong economic growth, a rising dollar, prospects for fiscal balance,
and the lowest inflation in over a decade provided a favorable backdrop for
bonds.
In Europe, convergence toward German yield levels in the run-up to Economic
and Monetary Union (EMU) finally came to an end in the beginning of this year.
Most of the former high yielders are now only 0.30% above the German standard.
We favored the bonds of Italy as their hard work to meet Maastricht criteria
resulted in the lowest rates of inflation in over 30 years. Even though the UK
has opted out of EMU membership for the time being, excellent economic
fundamentals, coupled with a strong currency, provided good market returns.
The Fund also had positions in investment grade securities in Mexico, South
Africa, Tunisia and Uruguay.
Q HOW DID FUND HOLDINGS PERFORM?
A Worldwide decline in inflation allowed interest rates in the three major
economies -- Germany, Japan, and the United States -- to trend lower. Steady to
lower interest rates in these countries allowed other global interest rates to
converge. Disappointingly, our German and U.S. holdings were outperformed by the
benchmark index.
Australian bonds converged and actually traded through the United States,
producing 10-year bond yields lower than comparable U.S. bond yields for the
first time since December 1984. European high-yielding bonds were all able to
outperform as they converged to German yield levels.
Our holdings of South African bonds provided a favorable return as expectations
for declining inflation were met. Inflation, at 5.4% on a year over year basis,
was at its lowest level in over three decades. A stable Mexican peso allowed the
Fund to capture higher yielding Mexican treasury bills.
Q WHAT EVENTS DOMINATED GLOBAL DEBT MARKETS?
A What had started out in the summer of 1997 as a few isolated devaluations in
Southeast Asia quickly turned into an economic crisis that engulfed the whole
region. As their currencies devalued, economic growth collapsed, sending many
economies into their first recession in several decades.
As the region's domestic demand collapsed, their need for raw materials also
crumpled. Crude oil and the Commodities Research Bureau (CRB) Index fell to
their lowest levels since the end of 1993. The fall in commodity prices and the
supply of excess labor contributed to deflationary

INTERVIEW WITH THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER Continued
trends that allowed dollar bloc and European bonds to rally even though their
respective economies had been growing.
Q WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR?
A The United States economy has continued to grow strongly despite being in its
seventh year of expansion. There had been talk that the Federal Reserve would
have to raise interest rates to cool consumer demand, which is two-thirds of GDP
and is increasing at its hottest pace in six years. However, even though U.S.
factories are at full capacity and unemployment, at 4.3%, is at a 28-year low,
we believe the excess manufacturing capacity in Asia should be able to meet U.S.
demand and keep its economy from overheating.
Global inflation should continue to trend lower as there is still a lot of
excess capacity left in global manufacturing. Stronger growth in the U.S. and
Europe need not be inflationary if, as has been the case, fiscal spending is
restrained.

INTERVIEW WITH HEAD OF GLOBAL EMERGING MARKET DEBT CRAIG MUNRO
Q HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A Investor confidence in emerging markets has admittedly been weak in recent
months. This is often the case following periods of intense market volatility
such as that produced by the crisis in Asia. On the other hand, this period can
also be viewed as a time of maximum buying opportunity.
Even though it underperformed its index over the six months ending April 30,
1998, the AIM Global High Income Fund performed reasonably well despite
lingering effects in Asia. Total return for Class A shares was 9.73% (4.49%
including the maximum 4.75% sales charge); total return for Class B shares was
9.37% (5.16% including the maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge). During
the same period, total return for the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index
Plus (EMBI+)(5) was 14.28% while the J.P. Morgan EMBI (Brady)(6) returned a
total of 14.56%.
Q WHAT HOLDINGS DID WELL FOR THE FUND?
A As a region, our holdings in Latin America performed fairly well relative to
other regions. Our holdings in Mexico performed relatively well and outperformed
the EMBI+ benchmark by a little over 70 basis points (100 basis points equals
1%). On average, during the period we had nearly 50% of the Fund invested in
Latin America. This weighting was lower than the index's average of 76% because
we felt better bargains could be found outside the region.
Unfortunately, our non-Latin holdings proved to be a detriment to the Fund
relative to the index. However, there were some bright spots. For example, the
portfolio's Russian holdings represented nearly 16% of the portfolio for this
period and outperformed the EMBI+ benchmark by nearly 300 basis points.
Q PLEASE DESCRIBE YOUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY OVER THE REVIEW PERIOD.
A We have been slowly reinvesting in the market since the Asian crisis of last
fall. At the beginning of the period we were very overweighted in Mexico and
South Africa as defensive positions. The Fund's investments in securities from
South Africa have since been sold and its Mexican holdings have been reduced to
fund investments in Brazil, Argentina, Russia and Asia. The Fund, however,
remains overweighted in Mexico relative to the index.
During the period, we were substantially underweight in securities from Brazil
and Argentina relative to the EMBI+ Index. However, subsequently we have
increased our positions, making them the Fund's largest, as we are finding their
prospects increasingly attractive.
We have a number of concerns about Russia going forward, not the least of which
are the poor fiscal situation and large amount of short-term foreign capital in
local markets. However, the Russian government is expected to reach an agreement
with the International Monetary Fund in the next few weeks, and the new
government appears proactive

INTERVIEW WITH PORTFOLIO MANAGER Continued
and committed to reform. While we expect the situation in Russia to remain
volatile, we are positive over the next three to six months.
Q WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK ON MEXICO?
A We continue to favor Mexico on a fundamental basis. The Mexican government has
been extremely proactive, cutting government spending in response to the fall in
oil prices and extending the maturity structure of their debt. The Mexican
economy is growing strongly, and we think the balance of payments looks healthy
for the next three to six months.
Q DO YOU STILL CONSIDER EMERGING MARKETS ATTRACTIVE?
A We continue to find emerging market debt attractive as an asset class. As of
April 30, 1998, yields are over 250 basis points in excess of U.S. high-yield
bonds, an impressive difference. In addition, emerging markets have historically
offered investors important diversification because of their lower correlation
to other financial asset classes. However, investors should be aware that
investing in emerging markets carries certain additional risks relating to
political uncertainty and currency instability.

The chart above shows the performance of the AIM Strategic Income Fund Class A
shares since inception, versus the J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index.
This represents a cumulative return of 142.2% and an average annual total return
of 9.16% for the Fund. The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 initial
investment in the Fund's Class A shares and reflects all Fund expenses and the
maximum 4.75% sales charge. A $10,000 investment in the Fund's Class B shares at
inception on October 22, 1992 would have been valued at $17,134. This figure
reflects all Fund expenses, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (5%
in the first year, decreasing to 0% after six years) and assumes complete
redemption at the end of the period. A $10,000 investment in Advisor Class
shares at inception on June 1, 1996, would have been worth $14,845 on April 30,
1998.

INTERVIEW WITH HEAD OF GLOBAL FIXED INCOME, NORTH AMERICA, DAVID HUGHES
Q HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A The Fund underperformed its benchmark over the last six months ending April
30, 1998. The Fund's benchmark is composed of 60% J.P. Morgan Global Government
Bond Index(5) and 40% J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus (EMBI+)(6).
Total return for Class A shares was 5.92% (0.88% including the maximum 4.75%
sales charge) and 5.58% (0.55% including the maximum 5% contingent deferred
sales charge) for Class B shares. During the same period total return was 1.20%
for the J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index and 14.28% for the J.P. Morgan
EMBI+. The aggregate benchmark (60% J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index,
40% J.P. Morgan EMBI+) returned 6.52% during this period.
The slight underperformance versus the aggregate benchmark was due in part to
our weightings is Asia, which were a little over 5% of the Fund's portfolio,
versus only 0.61% for the benchmark. Holdings in Australia, New Zealand, Hong
Kong and Malaysia all felt the brunt of the Asian meltdown.
Q WHAT HOLDINGS HAVE PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND?
A Holdings in Russia and Mexico were solid performers. We gave Russia a slightly
heavier weighting versus the Fund's benchmark and outperformed the benchmark by
nearly 300 basis points for the period ended April 30, 1998. The Fund's
weighting to Mexico was similar to the benchmark, but, again outperformed the
benchmark by over 300 basis points for the period. In the core section of the
portfolio, holdings in the UK and Sweden were also solid. Additionally, in the
last few months we have added higher yielding bonds to the portfolio, and we are
pleased with the returns from this sector. We do, however, remain cautious with
these types of investments due to the risks inherent in investing in these sorts
of securities.
Q WHAT WAS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY IN ASIA OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS?
A Although we were fairly confident that interest rates would remain stable, we
were still cautious about the situation in Asia. Our South Korean Holdings
performed well from December through April, returning nearly 14.50%. Otherwise,
we had very little exposure to this region in the first three months of the
year. However, once the initial shock died down and falling prices started to
level off, we slowly bought into the region. In general, the portfolio had above
average duration because of our comfort with the global interest rate
environment. Nevertheless, we hedged all non-U.S. holdings in U.S. dollars.
Q HOW HAVE EUROPEAN MARKETS PERFORMED?
A European markets actually performed much better than we predicted. However, we
think this level of performance may be temporary. Going forward, we believe that
the U.S. and its dollar bloc cousins could outperform Europe. European markets
have enjoyed a run-up, mostly in anticipation of Economic and Monetary Union
(EMU). We believe the good news about increased growth is

INTERVIEW WITH THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS CONTINUED
tied into the euro (the new European currency scheduled to take effect January
1, 1999), and expect most European markets may just tread water or even trend
down in the next few months.
Q WHAT EVENTS DOMINATED GLOBAL DEBT MARKETS?
A The Asian market crisis is obviously first on the list. Second is the
anticipation of EMU and its 11 members. This was largely responsible for a
stronger U.S. dollar versus European currencies, as well as a much stronger
European bond market. Lastly, the weakness of the Japanese economy and the
apparent inability of policymakers to come up with a cohesive plan for the
future was another significant global event. As a result, companies around the
world are selling their Japanese assets and the world is faced with a newly
created mountain of global liquidity.
Q WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE U.S. OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A We feel confident the U.S. economy will continue to grow, though perhaps not
at the present rate. Growth could even be a little negative in terms of its
absolute level. We don't fear a recession, but we don't expect the economy to
continue at the torrid pace of last year and the first quarter of this year. We
anticipate no problems form inflation this year despite the strength of the
economy and lower unemployment. We owe this in large part to the Asian
situation and increases in U.S. productivity. For the next few months, we are
less certain about the dollar, relative to European currencies. However, we
forecast the dollar to remain strong against the yen due to the inherent
weakness of the Japanese economy.

NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following Notes to Financial Statements are for the period ending April 30,
1998, and unless otherwise indicated, reflect facts as of that date. Please see
"Note 6 -- Subsequent Events" for a discussion of certain changes which took
place after April 30, 1998.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (SEE ALSO NOTE 6)
GT Global Government Income Fund, GT Global High Income Fund and GT Global
Strategic Income Fund ("Funds") are non-diversified separate series of GT
Investment Funds, Inc. ("Company"). Effective June 1, 1998, the Company was
renamed AIM Investment Funds, Inc. and these separate series were renamed as
follows: AIM Global Government Income Fund, AIM Global High Income Fund and AIM
Strategic Income Fund, respectively. Collectively, these Funds are now known as
the "AIM Global Income Funds." The Company is organized as a Maryland
corporation and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended ("1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Company
has thirteen series of shares in operation, each series corresponding to a
distinct portfolio of investments.
The GT Global High Income Fund invests substantially all of its investable
assets in Global High Income Portfolio ("Portfolio"). The Portfolio is organized
as a New York Trust and is registered under the 1940 Act as a non-diversified,
open-end management investment company.
The Portfolio has investment objectives, policies and limitations substantially
identical to those of its corresponding Fund. Therefore, the financial
statements of the Fund and its respective Portfolio have been presented on a
consolidated basis, and represent all activities of both the Fund and Portfolio.
Through April 30, 1998, all of the shares of beneficial interest of the
Portfolio were owned by either its Fund or Chancellor LGT Asset Management, Inc.
(the "Manager"), which has a nominal ($100) investment in the Portfolio.
The Funds offer 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. 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 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 and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the
financial statements.
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION
The Funds calculate the net asset value of and complete 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 the Manager 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 the
Manager 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 fluctuation, 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 or the Trust's Board of Trustees.
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 or
the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records of each Fund and Portfolio 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 Funds or
Portfolio (the phrase "Funds or Portfolio" hereinafter refers to the GT Global
Government Income Fund, the GT Global Strategic Income Fund, and the Global High
Income Portfolio) after translation to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates
on that day. The cost of each security is determined
F29
<PAGE>
AIM GLOBAL INCOME FUNDS
(FORMERLY GT GLOBAL INCOME FUNDS)
using historical exchange rates. Income and withholding taxes are
translated at prevailing exchange rates when earned or incurred.
A Fund or Portfolio does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from
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 between the trade and
settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the
amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a
Fund's or Portfolio's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts
actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise
from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in
securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
(C) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
With respect to repurchase agreements entered into by a Fund or Portfolio, it is
the Fund's or Portfolio'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 or Portfolio 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 a Fund or Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss.
When the Forward Contract is closed, the Fund or Portfolio 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 amount shown in the Fund's or Portfolio's "Statement of Assets
and Liabilities." A Fund or Portfolio 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. A Fund or Portfolio 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 a Fund or Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the
premium received is included in the Fund's or Portfolio'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 an 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, unless a
quotation from only one broker is available, in which case only that broker's
price will be used. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if
the Fund or Portfolio 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 or Portfolio can write options only on a covered basis,
which, for a call, requires that the Fund or Portfolio hold the underlying
security and, for a put, requires the Fund or Portfolio to set aside cash, U.S.
government securities or other liquid 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 or Portfolio may use options to manage its
exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values or interest
rates.
The premium paid by the Fund or Portfolio for the purchase of a call or put
option is included in the Fund's or Portfolio'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 or Portfolio has
purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Fund or Portfolio
realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Fund or
Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Fund or Portfolio 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 or Portfolio
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 or Portfolio
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 or Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 or Portfolio 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 a
Fund or Portfolio 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 or Portfolio
agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount 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 or Portfolio as
F30
<PAGE>
AIM GLOBAL INCOME FUNDS
(FORMERLY GT GLOBAL INCOME FUNDS)
unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund or Portfolio
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 or Portfolio is that the change in value of the
underlying securities may not correlate to the change in value of the contracts.
A Fund or Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the
stock market and to fluctuations in currency values or interest rates.
(G) SWAP CONTRACTS AND OTHER DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Swap contracts involve the exchange by a Fund or Portfolio with a counterparty
of respective commitments to pay or receive, fixed or floating rates with
respect to a notional amount. A Fund or Portfolio may enter into these
transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment
or portion of its portfolio, to protect against currency fluctuations, as a
technique for managing the portfolio's duration or to protect against any
increase in the price of securities the Fund or Portfolio anticipates purchasing
at a later date. A Fund or Portfolio may be exposed to risk if a counterparty is
unable to meet the terms of the contract, the value of the contract changes
unfavorably, or the change in value of the underlying securities, indexes or
similar reference item does not correlate to the change in the value of the
contracts.
(H) 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 its collection, income is recorded net of all
withholding tax with any rebate recorded when received. A Fund or Portfolio 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
or Portfolio to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices.
(I) PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
At April 30, 1998, stocks with an aggregate value listed below were on loan to
brokers. The loans were secured by cash collateral received by the Funds:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
APRIL 30, 1998 PERIOD ENDED
-------------------------------- APRIL 30, 1998
AGGREGATE VALUE CASH --------------
ON LOAN COLLATERAL FEES RECEIVED
--------------- -------------- --------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
GT Global Government Income Fund........ $ 5,105,020 $ 7,410,000 $313,851
Global High Income Portfolio............ $ 41,346,275 $ 44,614,120 $662,637
GT Global Strategic Income Fund......... $ 23,358,514 $ 25,208,069 $677,327
</TABLE>
For international securities, cash collateral is received by a Fund or Portfolio
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 a Fund or Portfolio against loaned securities in the
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.
The cash collateral is invested in a securities lending trust which consists of
a portfolio of high quality short duration securities whose average effective
duration is restricted to 120 days or less.
(J) TAXES
It is the intended policy of the Funds and Portfolios 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 Funds and
Portfolios 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 GT Global Government
Income Fund has a capital loss carryforward of $139,369,056 of which
$123,623,470 expires in 2002, and $15,745,586 expires in 2003. The GT Global
Strategic Income Fund has a capital loss carryforward of $65,749,433 which
expires in 2003.
(K) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each 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 Funds or Portfolio and timing
differences.
(L) DEFERRED ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES
Expenses incurred by the GT Global High Income Fund and the Portfolio in
connection with their organization, their initial registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and with various states and the initial
public offering of its shares aggregated $149,100 and $25,000, respectively.
These expenses are being amortized on a straightline basis over a five-year
period.
(M) 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 or Portfolio's investment 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.
F31
<PAGE>
AIM GLOBAL INCOME FUNDS
(FORMERLY GT GLOBAL INCOME FUNDS)
(N) INDEXED SECURITIES
A Fund or Portfolio 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.
(O) RESTRICTED SECURITIES
A Fund or Portfolio 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
or Portfolio's Portfolio of Investments.
(P) LINE OF CREDIT
Each of the Funds, along with certain other funds ("Funds") advised and/or
administered by the Manager, has a line of credit with BankBoston. GT Global
Government Income Fund, along with certain other funds ("GT Funds") advised
and/or administered by the Manager, has a line of credit with State Street Bank
& Trust Company. The arrangements with the banks allow all specified funds and
the GT Funds to borrow an aggregate maximum amount of $250,000,000. Each of
these funds is limited to borrowing up to 33 1/3% of the value of each Fund's
total assets. On April 30, 1998, GT Global Government Income Fund and GT Global
Strategic Income Fund had $21,178,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, in loans
outstanding.
For the period ended April 30, 1998, the weighted average outstanding daily
balance of bank loans (based on the number of days the loans were outstanding)
for GT Global Government Income Fund, GT Global High Income Fund, and GT Global
Strategic Income Fund was $14,452,819, $5,000,000 and $4,538,462 respectively,
with a weighted average interest rate of 6.34%, 6.24% and 6.24%, respectively.
Interest expense for the GT Global Government Income Fund, GT Global High Income
Fund and GT Global Strategic Income Fund for the period ended April 30, 1998 was
$394,370, $15,597 and $10,231, respectively. Other interest expense charges
amounted to $31,586, $1,685, and $1,124, respectively.
(Q) SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED OR FORWARD COMMITMENT BASIS
A Fund or Portfolio may trade securities on a when-issued or forward commitment
basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions
are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at
delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the
Fund or Portfolio will generally purchase these securities with the intention of
acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities before the settlement
date. These securities are identified on the accompanying Portfolio of
Investments. The Fund or Portfolio has set aside sufficient cash or liquid
securities as collateral for these purchase commitments.
2. RELATED PARTIES (SEE ALSO NOTE 6)
For the period ended April 30, 1998, Chancellor LGT Asset Management, Inc. was
the Funds' and Portfolios' investment manager and administrator. The GT Global
Government Income Fund and GT Global Strategic Income Fund each pays the Manager
investment management and administration fees at the annualized rate of 0.725%
on the first $500 million of the average daily net assets of the Fund; 0.70% on
the next $1 billion; 0.675% on the next $1 billion; and 0.65% on amounts
thereafter. The GT Global High Income Fund pays administration fees to the
Manager at the annualized rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets. These
fees are computed daily and paid monthly.
The Global High Income Portfolio pays investment management and administration
fees to the Manager at the annualized rate of 0.475% on the first $500 million
of average daily net assets of the Portfolio; 0.45% on the next $1 billion;
0.425% on the next $1 billion; and 0.40% on amounts thereafter, plus 2% of the
Portfolio's total investment income calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, adjusted daily for currency revaluations, on a
mark to market basis, of the Portfolio's assets; provided, however, that during
any fiscal year this amount shall not exceed 2% of the Portfolio's total
investment income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. These fees are computed daily and paid monthly.
For the period ended April 30, 1998, GT Global, Inc. ("GT Global"), an affiliate
of the Manager, serves as the Funds' distributor. The Funds offer 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 Funds' current
prospectus. GT 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 period ended April 30, 1998, GT Global retained the
following sales charges: $1,501 for the GT Global Government Income Fund,
$30,238 for the GT Global High Income Fund, and $13,334 for the GT Global
Strategic Income Fund. Purchases of Class A shares exceeding $500,000 may be
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") upon redemption, in
accordance with the Funds' current prospectus. GT Global collected CDSCs for the
period ended April 30, 1998, as follows: $1,119 for the GT Global Strategic
Income Fund. GT 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, GT 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 Funds' current
prospectus. For the period ended April 30, 1998, GT Global collected CDSCs in
the amount of: $443,566 for the GT Global Government Income Fund, $520,304 for
the GT Global High Income Fund, and $815,729 for the GT Global Strategic Income
Fund. In addition, GT Global makes
F32
<PAGE>
AIM GLOBAL INCOME FUNDS
(FORMERLY GT GLOBAL INCOME FUNDS)
ongoing shareholder servicing and trail commission payments to dealers whose
clients hold Class B shares.
Pursuant to the then effective separate distribution plans adopted under 1940
Act Rule 12b-1 by the Company's Board of Directors with respect to the Funds'
Class A shares ("Class A Plan") and Class B shares ("Class B Plan"), a Fund
reimbursed GT Global for a portion of its shareholder servicing and
distributions expenses. Under that Class A Plan, a Fund was permitted to pay GT
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 GT Global's expenditures incurred in
servicing and maintaining shareholder accounts, and was permitted to pay GT
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 GT Global's expenditures incurred in
providing services as distributor. All expenses for which GT Global was
reimbursed under the Class A Plan would have been incurred within one year of
such reimbursement.
For the period ended April 30, 1998, pursuant to that Fund's Class B Plan, a
Fund was permitted to pay GT 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 GT
Global's expenditures incurred in servicing and maintaining shareholder
accounts, and was permitted to pay GT 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 GT Global's expenditures incurred in providing services as
distributor. Expenses incurred under the Class B Plan in excess of 1.00%
annually were permitted to be carried forward for reimbursement in subsequent
years as long as that Plan continued in effect.
The Manager and GT Global voluntarily undertook to limit each GT Global
Government Income Fund, GT Global High Income Fund and GT Global Strategic
Income Fund's expenses (exclusive of brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, and
extraordinary expense) to the maximum annual rate of 1.75%, 2.40%, and 1.40% 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 the Manager of investment management and administration fees, waivers by GT
Global of payments under the Class A Plan and/or Class B Plan and/or
reimbursements by the Manager or GT Global of portions of the Fund's other
operating expenses.
GT Global Investor Services, Inc. ("GT Services"), an affiliate of the Manager
and LGT and GT Global, is the transfer agent of the Funds. For performing
shareholder servicing, reporting, and general transfer agent services, GT
Services receives an annual maintenance fee of $17.50 per account, a new account
fee of $4.00 per account, a per transaction fee of $1.75 for all transactions
other than exchanges and per exchange fee of $2.25. GT Services also is
reimbursed by the Fund for its out-of-pocket expenses for such items as postage,
forms, telephone charges, stationery and office supplies.
The Manager is the pricing and accounting agent for the Funds and Portfolio. The
monthly fee for these services to the Manager is a percentage, not to exceed
0.03% annually, of a Fund or Portfolio's average daily net assets. The annual
fee rate is derived by applying 0.03% to the first $5 billion of assets of all
registered mutual funds advised by the Manager and 0.02% to the assets in excess
of $5 billion and allocating the result according to each Fund's average daily
net assets.
The Company pays each of its Directors who is not an employee, officer or
director of the Manager or any other affiliated company, $5,000 per year plus
$300 for each meeting of the board or any committee thereof attended by the
Director. Each Portfolio pays each of its Trustees who is not an employee,
officer, or director of the Manager, GT Global or GT Services $500 per year plus
$150 for each meeting of the board or any committee thereof attended by the
Trustees.
