AIM EMERGING MARKETS FUND
Supplement dated December 21, 1998
to the Prospectus dated September 8, 1998,
as supplemented September 28, 1998 and
December 14, 1998
This supplement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the supplement dated
December 14, 1998.
Effective December 21, 1998, Advisor Class shares of AIM Emerging Markets Fund
("Emerging Markets Fund") may be exchanged for AIM Cash Reserve Shares of AIM
Money Market Fund. Advisor Class shareholders may obtain a copy of the AIM Money
Market Fund prospectus by calling (800) 347-4246. In addition, certain
institutional holders of Advisor Class shares may be eligible to invest in other
money market funds advised by A I M Advisors ("AIM Advisors"). For further
information about such institutional money market funds call Fund Management
Company at (800) 659-1005.
Effective December 14, 1998, sub-advisory and sub-administration responsibility
for AIM Investment Funds' Emerging Markets Fund will be transferred from
INVESCO (NY), Inc. to INVESCO Asset Management Ltd., another indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of AMVESCAP PLC. AIM Advisors will continue to serve as the
manager and administrator of Emerging Markets Fund. The transfer will not
change the fees AIM Advisors pays for sub-advisory services and will not change
the nature of the sub-advisory services provided to Emerging Markets Fund or
the personnel providing such services.
The Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds unanimously approved, on September
23, 1998, a Plan of Reorganization and Termination ("Plan") pursuant to which
Emerging Markets Fund, a series of AIM Investment Funds, would transfer
substantially all of its assets to AIM Developing Markets Fund ("Developing
Markets Fund"), another series of AIM Investment Funds. As a result of the
transaction, shareholders of Emerging Markets Fund would receive shares of
Developing Markets Fund in exchange for their shares of Emerging Markets Fund,
and Emerging Markets Fund would cease operations. Developing Markets Fund seeks
long-term capital appreciation and, secondarily seeks income to the extent
consistent with capital appreciation. While Developing Markets Fund may invest
more extensively in debt securities (up to 50% of its assets) than Emerging
Markets Fund, like Emerging Markets Fund, Developing Markets Fund invests
primarily in securities of issuers located in emerging markets.
The Plan requires the approval of Emerging Markets Fund shareholders and will be
submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in
February 1999. If the Plan is approved by shareholders of Emerging Markets Fund
and certain conditions required by the Plan are satisfied, the transaction is
expected to become effective before the end of February 1999.
