The following information replaces in its entirety the fourth full paragraph
appearing under the heading "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIES" on page 1 of
the prospectus:

     "The portfolio managers allocate assets among securities of countries and
in currency denominations where opportunities for meeting the fund's investment
objective are expected to be the most attractive. The portfolio managers select
fixed-income securities based on economic criteria such as yield, maturity,
issue classification, and quality characteristics. The portfolio managers select
equity securities that they believe are undervalued relative to the issuer's
current or projected earnings and that they believe have above-average prospects
for future growth. Currency investments are based on economic factors and on
political and technical data. The portfolio managers consider whether to sell a
particular security when any of those factors materially changes."

The following information replaces in its entirety the information appearing
under the heading "PERFORMANCE INFORMATION - PERFORMANCE TABLE" on page 3 of the

     "The following conditions apply to all exchanges:

     o    You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the AIM Fund into
          which you are exchanging;

     o    Shares of the AIM Fund you wish to acquire must be available for sale
          in your state of residence;

     o    Exchanges must be made between accounts with identical registration
          information;



<PAGE>   2

     o    The account you wish to exchange from must have a certified tax
          identification number (or the Fund has received an appropriate Form
          W-8 or W-9);

     o    Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange;
          and

     o    If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the
          transfer agent prior to the exchange.

     Beginning September 15, 1999, the following exchange condition will apply:

     o    Because excessive short-term trading or market-timing activity can
          hurt fund performance, you are limited to a maximum of 10 exchanges
          per calendar year. If you exceed that limit, or if an AIM Fund or the
          distributor determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term
          trading is excessive or that you are engaging in market-timing
          activity, it may reject any additional exchange orders. An exchange is
          the movement out of (redemption) one AIM Fund and into (purchase)
          another AIM Fund."
