SUMMARY
THE TRUST:
The Trust is a no-load open-end, diversified management investment company
that was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
presently consisting of four separate funds, the INVESCO Treasurer's Money
Market Reserve Fund (the "Money Fund") and the INVESCO Treasurer's Tax-Exempt
Reserve Fund (the "Tax-Exempt Fund") (collectively, the "Funds"), each of which
represents a separate portfolio of investments. This Prospectus describes the
operations of the Money Fund and the Tax-Exempt Fund. Each of the Funds has
separate investment policies. The Funds are designed especially for
consideration by treasurers and financial officers of corporations, financial
institutions, and fiduciary accounts. The securities offered by this Prospectus
consist of shares of beneficial interests of both Funds. Certain of the terms
used in this Prospectus are defined in Appendix A.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES:
The investment objective of each of the Funds is to achieve as high a
level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital, the
maintenance of liquidity, and investing in high quality instruments. A summary
of how each Fund intends to accomplish its objective follows:
INVESCO Treasurer's Money Market Reserve Fund -- This Fund will attempt to
achieve its objective by investing in short-term money market instruments,
consisting of those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies
or instrumentalities, obligations of financial institutions (such as the
following instruments determined to be readily marketable by the Investment
Adviser: certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances of
domestic and foreign banks, and funding agreements issued by domestic insurance
companies) which may include demand features, commercial paper, corporate debt
obligations other than commercial paper and loan participation agreements.
Corporate debt securities acquired by the Money Fund must be rated by at least
two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs"), generally
Standard & Poor's ^ ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's"), in
one of the two highest rating categories (AAA or AA by S&P or Aaa or Aa by
Moody's), or where the obligation is rated only by S&P or Moody's, and not by
any other NRSRO, such obligation is rated AAA or AA by S&P or Aaa or Aa by
Moody's. The Money Fund will limit purchases of instruments issued by banks to
those instruments issued by a bank that meets the criteria discussed in the
section of this Prospectus entitled "Investment Objectives and Policies." The
Money Fund limits investment in foreign bank obligations to U.S. dollar
denominated obligations of foreign banks that have assets of at least $10
billion and have branches or agencies in the U.S.
Commercial paper acquired by the Money Fund must be rated by at least two
NRSROs, generally S&P and Moody's, in the highest rating category (A-1 by S&P or
P-1 by Moody's), or, where the obligation is rated only by S&P or Moody's, and
not by any other NRSRO, such obligation is rated A-1 or P-1. Money market
instruments purchased by the Money Fund that are not rated must be determined by
the Adviser to be of equivalent credit quality to the rated securities in which
the Money Fund may invest. In the Adviser's opinion, obligations that are not
rated are not necessarily of lower quality than those that are rated but may be
less marketable and typically may provide higher yields. The Fund will invest in
such securities only when such investment is in accordance with the Fund's
investment objective of achieving a high level of current income and when such
investment will not impair the Fund's ability to comply with requests for
redemptions.
<PAGE>
INVESCO Treasurer's Tax-Exempt Reserve Fund -- This Fund will attempt to
achieve its objective by investing in the following instruments: short-term
municipal obligations consisting of tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation
notes and bond anticipation notes; short-term municipal bonds; tax-exempt
commercial paper; and variable rate demand notes. Under normal market
conditions, this Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal
obligations that pay interest free from federal income tax.
Municipal obligations other than municipal notes or commercial paper will
be purchased by the Tax-Exempt Fund only if backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States, or if they meet the rating requirements set forth below.
Municipal bonds must be rated by at least two NRSROs generally S&P and Moody's -
in one of the two highest rating categories (AAA or AA by S&P or Aaa or Aa by
Moody's), or where the bond is rated only by one NRSRO - generally S&P or
Moody's - in the single NRSRO's two highest rating categories (AAA or AA by S&P,
or Aaa or Aa by Moody's). Municipal notes or municipal commercial paper must be
rated in the highest rating category by at least two NRSROs, or where the notes
or paper is rated only by one NRSRO, in the highest rating category by that
NRSRO. If a security is unrated, the Fund may invest in such security if the
Adviser determines, in an analysis similar to that performed by Moody's or S&P
in rating similar securities and issuers, that the security is comparable to
that eligible for investment by the Fund.
In order to enhance the liquidity, stability or quality of a municipal
obligation, the Tax-Exempt Fund may acquire a right to sell an obligation to
another party at a guaranteed price approximating par value, either on demand or
at specified intervals. The right to sell may form part of the obligation or be
acquired separately by the Tax-Exempt Fund. These rights may be referred to as
demand features, standby commitments or puts, depending on their characteristics
(collectively referred to as "Standby Commitments"), and may involve letters of
credit or other credit support arrangements supplied by domestic or foreign
banks supporting the other party's ability to purchase the obligation from the
Tax-Exempt Fund.
In fulfillment of their investment objectives, and as part of their
investment strategy, both Funds may enter into repurchase agreements and invest
in bank participation interests and "when issued" securities. Both Funds may
also enter into reverse repurchase agreements, but only for the purpose of
obtaining funds for meeting redemption requests of shareholders. Both Funds may
also hold cash for temporary defensive purposes. (See "Investment Objectives and
Policies.")
Certain of the investments by the Funds may be considered "illiquid
securities." Each of the Funds has adopted an investment policy that prohibits
it from having more than 10% of its total assets invested in illiquid securities
(including restricted securities, repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven days, time deposits without demand features having a stated maturity
greater than seven days, and funding agreements and participation interests
without demand features or for which there is not a readily available market).
INVESTMENT ADVISER:
INVESCO Capital Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Trust's
investment adviser (the "Adviser"), acts as investment adviser to other
investment companies and furnishes investment counseling services to private and
institutional clients. As to each Fund, the Trust pays the Adviser an advisory
fee equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of
the Fund's net assets.
<PAGE>
PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER AND DISTRIBUTOR:
INVESCO Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") serves as the principal
underwriter and distributor of shares of the Trust. The Distributor also
furnishes distribution and investment advisory services to one other investment
company consisting of six portfolios.
PURCHASES:
Each Fund's shares are offered at net asset value, which is expected to be
maintained at a constant $1.00 per share. There is no assurance, however, that a
Fund will be able to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share. The minimum
initial purchase of shares required by the Trust is $1,000,000. In determining
the minimum required, subscribers will be given credit for amounts which they
have invested in either of the Funds. Shares must be purchased by good funds (as
defined under "How to Buy Fund Shares"). The Trust reserves the right to reduce
or to waive the minimum purchase requirements in certain cases. Subsequent
investments in any of the Funds may be made in amounts of $100,000 or more at
any time. Shares may be purchased through the Distributor, acting as agent for
the Trust. Purchase orders may also be placed through member firms of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), who may charge a
reasonable handling fee. Such handling fees can be avoided by investing directly
with the Trust. There are no charges imposed by the Trust or the Distributor on
purchases of Trust shares. (See "How to Buy Fund Shares.")
REDEMPTIONS:
The amount paid upon redemption will be the net asset value per share next
determined after the redemption request is received in proper form. If a
redemption request is received by 11:30 a.m. (New York time) proceeds will
normally be wired that day, if requested by the shareholder, but no dividend
will be earned on the redeemed shares on that day. Proceeds on redemption
requests received after 11:30 a.m. (New York time) will be sent the next
business day when net asset value is determined and will earn any dividends paid
on the redeemed shares up to but not including the day on which such shares are
redeemed. There is no charge imposed in connection with the redemption of
shares. The Trust has the right to redeem shareholder accounts that fall below a
minimum level ($500,000 or less) as a result of redemptions of shares. (See
"Redemption of Shares.")
DIVIDENDS ^:
The Trust intends to declare dividends daily. All ^ dividends paid to a
shareholder will be reinvested automatically in additional Fund shares pursuant
to the Trust's Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan unless the shareholder
specifically elects to receive declared dividends ^ in cash.
(See "Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan.")

THE TRUST
The Trust is a no-load, open-end, diversified management investment
company. The Trust's address is 7800 East Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80237.
The Trust was organized on January 27, 1988, under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust has one class of
shares that may be divided into different series, each representing an interest
in a separate portfolio of investments. Presently, the Trust has four separate
portfolios of investments. This Prospectus describes the INVESCO Treasurer's
Money Market Reserve Fund ("Money Fund") and the INVESCO Treasurer's Tax-Exempt
Reserve Fund ("Tax-Exempt Fund") (collectively, the "Funds").
From time to time the Funds advertise their respective "yield" and
"effective yield." The "yields" shown are based on historical earnings and are
not intended to indicate future performance. Annualized net yields for the seven
days ended December 31, ^ 1995 for the Money Fund and the Tax-Exempt Fund were ^
5.80% and ^ 5.08%, respectively. The yield of a Fund refers to the net income
generated by the investment in the Fund over a seven-day period (which period
will be stated in the advertisement). This income is then annualized. That is,
the amount of income generated by the investment during that week is assumed to
be generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the
investment. The "effective yield" is calculated similarly but, when annualized,
the income earned by an investment in the Fund is assumed to be reinvested. The
"effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the
compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
Average portfolio maturities for the Money Fund and Tax-Exempt Fund were ^
13 days and ^ 5 days, respectively, at December 31, ^ 1995.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objective of each of the Funds is to achieve as high a
level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and
the maintenance of liquidity. Each Fund's assets are invested in securities
having maturities of 397 days or less, and the dollar weighted average maturity
of the portfolio will not exceed 90 days. The Funds buy only securities
determined by the Board of Directors or the Adviser with the approval of the
Board of Directors to be of high quality with minimal credit risk and that are
eligible for investment by the Funds under applicable U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. See Appendix A for descriptions of the
investment instruments referred to below, as well as discussions of the degrees
of risk involved in purchasing these instruments.
INVESCO Treasurer's Money Market Reserve Fund -- The Money Fund attempts to
achieve its objective by investing in money market instruments, consisting of:
short-term money market instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
<PAGE>
or its agencies or instrumentalities, obligations of financial institutions
(such as the following instruments determined to be readily marketable by the
Investment Adviser: certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers'
acceptances of domestic and foreign banks, and funding agreements issued by
domestic insurance companies) which may include demand features, corporate debt
securities, other than commercial paper and loan participation agreements.
Corporate debt securities acquired by the Money Fund must be rated by at least
two NRSROs - generally Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") and Moody's
Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's") - in one of the two highest rating
categories (AAA or AA by S&P or Aaa or Aa by Moody's), or where the obligation
is rated only by S&P or Moody's, and not by any other NRSRO, such obligation is
rated AAA or AA by S&P, or Aaa or Aa by Moody's. The Money Fund limits purchases
of instruments issued by banks to those instruments which are rated in one of
the two highest categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, and which are issued by banks which have total assets in excess of
$4 billion and meet other criteria established by the board of trustees. The
Money Fund limits investments in foreign bank obligations to U.S. dollar
denominated obligations of foreign banks which have assets of at least $10
billion, have branches or agencies in the U.S., and meet other criteria
established by the board of trustees. From time to time, on a temporary basis
for defensive purposes, the Money Fund may hold cash.
Commercial paper acquired by this Fund must be rated by at least two
NRSROs, generally S&P and Moody's, in the highest rating category (A-1 by S&P or
P-1 by Moody's), or, where the obligation is rated by only S&P or Moody's and
not by any other NRSRO, such obligation is rated A-1 or P-1. Money market
instruments purchased by the Money Fund which are not rated by any NRSRO must be
determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent credit quality to the rated
securities in which the Money Fund may invest. In the Adviser's opinion,
obligations that are not rated are not necessarily of lower quality than those
which are rated; however, they may be less marketable and typically may provide
higher yields. The Fund invests in unrated securities only when such an
investment is in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives of achieving a
high level of current income and when such investment will not impair the Fund's
ability to comply with requests for redemptions.
INVESCO Treasurer's Tax-Exempt Reserve Fund -- The Tax-Exempt Fund will
attempt to achieve its objective by investing in short-term instruments the
interest on which is exempt from federal taxation, consisting of: short-term
municipal obligations, such as tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation
notes and bond anticipation notes; tax-exempt commercial paper; and variable
rate demand notes. It is the intention of this Fund to qualify to pay
exempt-interest dividends for federal tax purposes. There can be no assurance
that this Fund will qualify each year to pay exempt-interest dividends.
<PAGE>
It is a fundamental policy of the Fund that, under normal market
conditions, it will have at least 80% of its net assets invested in municipal
obligations that, based on the opinion of counsel to the issuer, pay interest
free from federal income tax. It is the Tax-Exempt Fund's present intention (but
not a fundamental policy) to invest its assets so that ^ substantially all of
its annual income will be tax-exempt. This Fund may invest in municipal
obligations whose interest income ^ may be specially treated as a tax preference
item under the alternative minimum tax^ ("AMT"). Securities that generate income
that is a tax preference item may not be counted towards the 80% tax exempt
threshold described above. Tax-exempt income may result in an indirect tax
preference item for corporations, which may subject an investor to liability
under the alternative minimum tax depending on its particular situation. This
Fund, however, will not invest more than 20% of its net assets in obligations
the interest from which gives rise to a preference item for the purpose of the
alternative minimum tax and in other investments subject to Federal income tax.
Distributions from this Fund may be subject to state and local taxes.
Municipal ^ bonds purchased by the Tax^-Exempt Fund must be rated by at
least two NRSROs - generally S&P and Moody's - in one of the two highest rating
categories (AAA or AA by S&P or Aaa or Aa by Moody's), or where the bond is
rated only by one NRSRO generally S&P or Moody's - in the single NRSRO's two
highest rating categories (AAA or AA by S&P, or Aaa or Aa by Moody's). Municipal
notes or municipal commercial paper must be rated in the highest rating category
by at least two NRSROs, or where the note or paper is rated only by one NRSRO,
in the highest rating category by that NRSRO. If a security is unrated, the Fund
may invest in such security if the Adviser determines, in an analysis similar to
that performed by Moody's or S&P in rating similar securities and issuers, that
the security is comparable to that eligible for investment by the Fund.
In order to enhance the liquidity, stability or quality of a municipal
obligation, the Tax-Exempt Fund may acquire a right to sell an obligation to
another party at a guaranteed price approximating par value, either on demand or
at specified intervals. The right to sell may form part of the obligation or be
acquired separately by the Tax-Exempt Fund. These rights may be referred to as
demand features, standby commitments or puts, depending on their characteristics
(collectively referred to as "Standby Commitments"), and may involve letters of
credit or other credit support arrangements supplied by domestic or foreign
banks supporting the other party's ability to purchase the obligation from the
Tax-Exempt Fund. The Tax-Exempt Fund will acquire these rights solely to
facilitate portfolio liquidity and does not intend to exercise such rights for
trading purposes. In considering whether an obligation meets the Tax-Exempt
Fund's quality standards, the Fund may look to the creditworthiness of the party
providing the right to sell or to the quality of the obligation itself. The
acquisition of a Standby Commitment will not affect the valuation of the
<PAGE>
underlying obligation which will continue to be valued in accordance with
the amortized cost method of valuation (see the "Computation of Net Asset Value"
^ section of this prospectus). For additional information concerning these
rights, see Statement of Additional Information under "Investment Objectives and
Policies."
From time to time, on a temporary basis for defensive purposes, the
Tax-Exempt Fund may also hold 100 percent of its assets in cash or invest in
taxable short term investments ("taxable investments") consisting of:
obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities;
commercial paper limited to obligations which are rated by at least two NRSROs
generally S&P and Moody's - in the highest rating category (A-1 by S&P and P-1
by Moody's), or where the obligation is rated only by one NRSRO - generally S&P
or Moody's - in the single NRSRO's highest rating category (A-1 by S&P, or P-1
by Moody's); certificates of deposit of U.S. domestic banks, including foreign
branches of domestic banks meeting the criteria described in the discussion of
the Money Fund; time deposits; and repurchase agreements with respect to any of
the foregoing with registered broker-dealers, registered government securities
dealers or banks meeting the criteria described in the discussion of the Money
Fund.
OTHER POLICIES RELEVANT TO THE FUNDS
The Trust, on behalf of each of the Funds, may enter into repurchase
agreements and reverse repurchase agreements. (See Appendix A to this Prospectus
for a discussion of these agreements and the risks involved with such
transactions.) The Funds will enter into repurchase agreements and reverse
repurchase agreements only with banks which meet the criteria for banks
discussed above and with registered broker-dealers or registered government
securities dealers which have outstanding either commercial paper or other debt
obligations rated in the highest rating category by at least two NRSROs or by
one NRSRO if such obligations are rated by only one NRSRO. The Adviser will
monitor the creditworthiness of such entities in accordance with procedures
adopted and monitored by the Trustees of the Trust. The Funds will enter into
repurchase agreements whenever, in the opinion of the Adviser, such transactions
would be advantageous to the Funds. Repurchase agreements afford an opportunity
for the Funds to earn a return on temporarily available cash. The Funds will
enter into reverse repurchase agreements only for the purpose of obtaining funds
necessary for meeting redemption requests of shareholders. Interest earned by
the Funds on repurchase agreements would not be tax-exempt, and thus would
constitute taxable income.
The Money ^ Fund may purchase loan participation interests in all or part
of specific holdings of corporate debt obligations. The issuer of such debt
obligations is also the issuer of the loan participation interests into which
the obligations have been apportioned. The Money ^ Fund will purchase only loan
participation interests issued by companies whose commercial paper is currently
<PAGE>
rated, as determined by the investment adviser, in the highest rating
category by at least two NRSROs, generally S&P and Moody's (A-1 by S&P or P-1 by
Moody's), or where such instrument is rated only by S&P or Moody's and not by
any other NRSRO, such instrument is rated A-1 or P-1. Such loan participation
interests will only be purchased from banks which meet the criteria for banks
discussed above and registered broker-dealers or registered government
securities dealers which have outstanding either commercial paper or other
short-term debt obligations rated in the highest rating category by at least two
NRSROs or by one NRSRO if such obligation is rated by only one NRSRO. Such banks
and security dealers are not guarantors of the debt obligations represented by
the loan participation interests, and therefore are not responsible for
satisfying such debt obligations in the event of default. Additionally, such
banks and securities dealers act merely as facilitators, with regard to
repayment by the issuer, with no authority to direct or control repayment. The
Money ^ Fund will attempt to ensure that there is a readily available market for
all of the loan participation interests. The Money ^ Fund's investments in loan
participation interests for which there is not a readily available market are
considered to be investments in illiquid securities.
Each Fund has adopted an investment policy that prohibits each of the
Funds from having more than 10% of its total assets invested in illiquid
securities (including restricted securities, repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days, time deposits without demand features having a stated
maturity greater than seven days, and participation interests and funding
agreements without demand features, for which there is not a readily available
market).
The Money Fund, but not the Tax-Exempt Fund, may maintain time deposits in
and invest in U.S. dollar denominated certificates of deposit issued by foreign
banks and foreign branches of U.S. banks. The Fund limits investments in foreign
bank obligations to U.S. dollar denominated obligations of foreign banks which
have more than $10 billion in assets, have branches or agencies in the U.S., and
meet other criteria established by the board of trustees. Investments in foreign
securities involve special considerations. There is generally less publicly
available information about foreign issuers since many foreign countries do not
have the same disclosure and reporting requirements as are imposed by the U.S.
securities laws. Moreover, foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform
accounting and auditing and financial reporting requirements and standards of
practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Such investments
may also entail the risks of possible imposition of dividend withholding or
confiscatory taxes, possible currency blockage or transfer restrictions,
expropriation, nationalization or other adverse political or economic
developments, and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries.
The Money Fund may also invest in bankers' acceptances, time deposits and
certificates of deposit of U.S. branches of foreign banks and foreign branches
<PAGE>
of U.S. banks. Investments in instruments of U.S. branches of foreign banks
will be made only with branches that are subject to the same regulations as U.S.
banks. Investments in instruments issued by a foreign branch of a U.S. bank will
be made only if the investment risk associated with such investment is the same
as that involving an investment in instruments issued by the U.S. parent, with
the U.S. parent unconditionally liable in the event that the foreign branch
failed to pay on the investment for any reason.
Each Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis, with payment
and delivery to be made at a later date, generally within one month, but in no
event later than 45 days. The price and yield are normally fixed on the date of
the purchase commitment, and the value of the security is thereafter reflected
in the applicable Fund's net asset value computations. During the period between
purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Fund and no interest accrues
to the Fund. At the time of settlement, the market value of the security may be
more or less than the purchase price. Each Fund will maintain, at all times, a
segregated account holding cash or liquid debt securities in an amount equal to
the aggregate amount due on settlement date for all "when-issued" transactions.
Any securities in such segregated account will be marked to market on a daily
basis. Such segregated securities either will mature or, if necessary, be sold
on or before the settlement date. The Funds will not invest more than 10% of
their respective assets in "when issued" securities.
The Money Fund may also invest in funding agreements issued by domestic
insurance companies. Such funding agreements will only be purchased from
insurance companies which have outstanding an issue of long-term debt securities
rated AAA or AA by S&P, or Aaa or Aa by Moody's. In all cases, the Fund will
attempt to obtain the right to demand payment, on not more than seven days'
notice, for all or any part of the amount subject to the funding agreement, plus
accrued interest. The Fund intends to execute its right to demand payment only
as needed to provide liquidity to meet redemptions, or to maintain a high
quality investment portfolio. The Fund's investments in funding agreements that
do not have this demand feature, or for which there is not a readily available
market, are considered to be investments in illiquid securities.
Diversification. Since the Trust is a diversified investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, it must have at least 75% of the value of
the total assets of each Fund represented by a combination of cash and cash
items, government securities, securities of other investment companies and other
securities which represent, in the case of any one issuer, no more than 5% of
the value of each Fund's total assets. ^ The Trust may not change from a
diversified to a non-diversified investment company without the approval of a
majority of each affected Fund's outstanding voting securities, with "majority"
defined as described under the "Investment Restrictions^" section of this
prospectus.
<PAGE>
Portfolio Securities Loans. The Trust, on behalf of each of the Funds, may
lend limited amounts of its portfolio securities (not to exceed 20% of a
particular Fund's total assets) to broker-dealers or other institutional
investors. While there may be delays in recovery of loaned securities or even a
loss of rights in collateral should the borrower fail financially, loans will be
made only to firms deemed by the Adviser to be of good standing and will not be
made unless, in the judgment of the Adviser, the consideration to be earned from
such loans would justify the risk. The Adviser will evaluate the
creditworthiness of such borrowers in accordance with procedures adopted and
monitored by the Trustees of the Trust. It is expected that the Trust, on behalf
of the applicable Fund, will use the cash portions of loan collateral to invest
in short-term income producing securities for the Fund's account and that the
Trust may share some of the income from these investments with the borrower. See
"Portfolio Securities Loans" at Appendix A to this Prospectus.
For an additional discussion of each Fund's fundamental investment
policies, see the "Investment Restrictions^" section of this prospectus.
General. No assurance is or can be given that any Fund will accomplish its
investment objective, as there is some degree of uncertainty in every
investment. An increase in interest rates will generally reduce the value of
portfolio investments in the Funds, and a decline in interest rates will
generally increase the value of each Fund's portfolio investments.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Trust, on behalf of each of the Funds, has adopted the following
investment restrictions, all of which are fundamental policies and may not be
changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Trust's
outstanding voting securities, or if the policy relates only to a specific Fund,
that Fund's outstanding voting securities (which in this Prospectus means, as to
the Trust or each Fund (as applicable), the vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or
more of the voting securities present at a meeting, if the holders of more than
50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy, or
(ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities). The Trust, on behalf
of each of the Funds, may not:
(1) Invest in the securities of issuers (excluding (i) municipal
obligations for the Tax-Exempt Fund only, (ii) bankers'
acceptances, time deposits and certificates of deposit of
domestic branches of U.S. banks and, as to the Money Fund
only, U.S. branches of foreign banks and foreign branches of
U.S. banks, provided that the U.S. branches are subject to
sufficient regulation by government bodies that they can be
considered U.S. banks, and the obligations of the foreign
branches qualify as unconditional obligations of the U.S.
parent, and (iii) U.S. Government obligations) conducting
<PAGE>
their principal business activity in the same industry, if immediately
after such investment the value of a Fund's investments in such industry
would represent 25% or more of the value of such Fund's total assets. It
should be noted that from time to time, the Tax-Exempt Fund may invest
more than 25% of the value of its total assets in industrial development
bonds which, although issued by industrial development authorities, may be
backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental users. The
Tax-Exempt Fund may invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets
in municipal obligations which are related in such a way that an economic
business or political development or change affecting one such security
also would affect the other securities; for example, securities the
interest upon which is paid from revenues of similar types of projects, or
securities whose issuers are located in the same state.
(2) As to 75% of the assets of the Tax-Exempt Fund, and 100% of the assets of
the Money Reserve Fund, invest in the securities of any one issuer, other
than U.S. Government obligations, if immediately after such investment
more than 5% of the value of a Fund's total assets, taken at market value,
would be invested in such issuer.
(3) Underwrite securities of other issuers, except insofar as it may
technically be deemed an "underwriter" under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, in connection with the disposition of a Fund's portfolio
securities.
(4) Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or
management.
(5) Issue any class of senior securities or borrow money, except
borrowings from banks for temporary or emergency purposes not
in excess of 10% of the value of a Fund's net assets (not
including the amount borrowed) at the time the money is
borrowed. The Funds are permitted to borrow money only for
the purpose of meeting redemption requests which might
otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities.
Borrowing is allowed as long as the cost of borrowing is less
than the income which would be lost should securities be sold
to meet the redemption requests. While in a borrowed position
(including reverse repurchase agreements), the Funds may not
make purchases of securities. The Funds may enter into
reverse repurchase agreements only for the purpose of
obtaining funds necessary for meeting redemption requests.
(6) Mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or in any manner transfer as security for
indebtedness any securities owned or held except to secure funds borrowed
and then only to an extent not greater than 10% of the value of the
applicable Fund's total assets.
(7) Make short sales of securities or maintain a short position.
<PAGE>
(8) Purchase securities on margin, except that a Fund may obtain such
short-term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and
sales of portfolio securities.
(9) Purchase or sell real estate or interests in real estate.
(10) Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts.
(11) Make loans to other persons, provided that a Fund may purchase debt
obligations consistent with its investment objectives and policies, may
lend limited amounts (not to exceed 20% of its total assets) of its
portfolio securities to broker-dealers or other institutional investors,
and may enter into repurchase agreements.
(12) Purchase securities of other investment companies except (i)
in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or
reorganization, or (ii) by purchase in the open market of
securities of open-end investment companies involving only
customary brokers' commissions and only if immediately
thereafter (i) no more than 3% of the voting securities of any
one investment company are owned by a Fund, (ii) no more than
5% of the value of the total assets of a Fund would be
invested in any one investment company, and (iii) no more than
10% of the value of the total assets of a Fund would be
invested in the securities of such investment companies.
Subject to these conditions, the Funds intend to invest only
in no-load money market funds not advised by the Adviser or
any company affiliated with the adviser which meet the
requirements of Rule 2a-7 and which do not incur any
distribution expenses. Investors in the Funds should note
that such no-load money market funds will pay an advisory fee
and incur other operational expenses.
(13) Enter into repurchase agreements if more than 10% of the
applicable Fund's net assets will be invested in repurchase
agreements and in participation interests without demand
features, time deposits having a stated maturity greater than
seven days, securities having legal or contractual
restrictions on resale, securities for which there is no
readily available market, or in other illiquid securities.
The term "illiquid securities" includes any security which
cannot be disposed of promptly and in the ordinary course of
business without taking a reduced price. A security is
considered illiquid if a Fund cannot receive the amount at
which it values the instrument within seven days.
Additional investment restrictions adopted by the Trust on behalf of the
Funds and which may be changed by the Trustees at their discretion provide that
the Trust, on behalf of each of the Funds, may not:
(1) Write, purchase or sell puts, calls, straddles, spreads or
combinations thereof. However, in order to enhance the
<PAGE>
liquidity of a municipal obligation, the Tax-Exempt Fund may
acquire Standby Commitments. See the "Investment Objectives
and Policies^" section of this prospectus.
(2) Purchase or sell interests in oil, gas or other mineral leases or
exploration or development programs. A Fund, however, may purchase or sell
securities issued by entities which invest in such interests.
(3) Invest more than 5% of a Fund's total assets in securities of companies
having a record, together with predecessors, of less than three years of
continuous operation.
(4) Purchase or sell warrants.
(5) Purchase or retain the securities of any issuer if any individual officers
and trustees/directors of the Trust, the Adviser, or any subsidiary
thereof owns individually more than 0.5% of the securities of that issuer
and if all such officers and trustees/directors together own more than 5%
of the securities of that issuer.
(6) Engage in arbitrage transactions.
THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
The investment adviser to the Trust is INVESCO Capital Management, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (sometimes referred to as the "Adviser"), having its
principal office at 1315 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The
Adviser is an indirect subsidiary of INVESCO PLC, an English public limited
company which is a global investment manager. The Adviser also has an advisory
office in Coral Gables, Florida and a marketing and client service office in San
Francisco.
The Adviser is the sponsor and will provide general investment advice and
portfolio management to the Trust and the Funds. The Adviser currently manages
in excess of $28.0 billion of assets for its customers, and it believes it has
one of the nation's largest discretionary portfolios of tax-exempt accounts
(such as pension and profit-sharing funds for corporations and state and local
governments). In addition, the Adviser furnishes investment advice to the
following other investment companies: INVESCO Value Trust, INVESCO Variable
Investment Funds, Inc.-Total Return Portfolio, The Target Portfolio Trust-Large
Capitalization Value Portfolio, The Chaconia Growth and Income Fund and ^
INVESCO Advisor Funds, Inc. The Adviser furnishes investment advice to a total
of six investment companies, consisting of 17 different portfolios. Certain
customers of the Adviser may have similar investment objectives to those of
particular mutual funds. Portfolios are supervised by investment managers who
utilize the Adviser's facilities for investment research and analysis, review of
current economic conditions and trends, and consideration of long-range
investment policy matters.
<PAGE>
Under its Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Trust,
the Adviser, subject to the supervision of the Trustees of the Trust, and in
conformance with each Fund's stated policies, is to manage the investment
operations and portfolios of the Funds. In this regard, it will be the
responsibility of the Adviser not only to make investment decisions for the
Funds, but also to place the purchase and sale orders for the portfolio
transactions of the Funds. (See Statement of Additional Information under
"Brokerage and Portfolio Transactions.") The Adviser is also responsible for
furnishing to the Trust, at the Adviser's expense, the services of persons
believed to be competent to perform all executive and other administrative
functions required by the Trust to conduct its business effectively, as well as
the offices, equipment and other facilities necessary for its operations. Such
functions include the maintenance of the Trust's accounts and records, and the
preparation of all requisite corporate documents such as tax returns and reports
to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and shareholders.
Under the Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for the payment of all of
the Funds' expenses, other than payment of advisory fees, taxes, interests and
brokerage commissions. Such expenses include, without limitation, organizational
expenses, compensation of officers, trustees and employees, legal and auditing
expenses, the fees and expenses of the Trust's custodian and transfer agent, and
the expenses of printing and mailing reports and notices to Trust shareholders.
For the services to be rendered and the expenses to be assumed by the Adviser
under the Agreement, the Trust will pay to the Adviser an advisory fee which
will be computed daily and paid as of the last day of each month on the basis of
each Fund's daily net asset value, using for each daily calculation the most
recently determined net asset value of the Funds. (See "Computation of Net Asset
Value.") On an annual basis, the advisory fee paid by each Fund is equal to
0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the applicable Fund's net assets.
For additional information concerning the Agreement, see Statement of Additional
Information under "The Advisory Agreement."
The following individual serves as portfolio manager for the Funds and is
primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolios:
Money Market Reserve Fund and
Tax-Exempt Reserve Fund
George S. Robinson Portfolio manager of the Money
Market Reserve Fund and Tax-Exempt
Reserve Fund since 1988; formerly
(1986 to 1987) Vice President of
Citicorp Investment Bank; began
investment career in 1965.
The Adviser permits investment and other personnel to purchase and sell
securities for their own accounts, subject to a compliance policy governing
<PAGE>
personal investing. This policy requires investment and other personnel to
conduct their personal investment activities in a manner that the Adviser
believes is not detrimental to the Funds or the Adviser's other advisory
clients. See "The Advisory Agreement" section of the Statement of Additional
Information for more detailed information.
THE DISTRIBUTOR
INVESCO Services, Inc., the Trust's distributor (the "Distributor"), a
Georgia corporation, is the principal underwriter and distributor of the shares
of the Funds under a Distribution Agreement dated as of December 30, 1988. All
of the Distributor's outstanding shares of voting stock are owned by the
Adviser. The Distributor is also the sponsor of, investment adviser to and the
principal underwriter for one investment company consisting of six portfolios.
The Distributor acts as agent upon the receipt of orders from investors. The
Distributor's principal office is located at 1315 Peachtree Street, N.E.,
Atlanta, Georgia 30309.
COMPUTATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of each of the Funds is determined daily as
of 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is
open for trading and at such other times and/or on such other days as there is
sufficient trading in the portfolio securities of the Fund such that its net
asset value might be affected materially. Net asset value per share is
determined by adding the value of all assets of each Fund, deducting its actual
and accrued liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
Each Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share
by utilizing the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio securities. There
can be no assurance that the Funds will be able to maintain a net asset value of
$1.00 per share. Under the amortized cost method of valuation, securities are
valued at cost on the date of purchase. Thereafter, the value of the security is
increased or decreased incrementally each day so that at maturity any purchase
discount or premium is fully amortized and the value of the security is equal to
its principal. As a result of minor shifts in the market value of a Fund's
portfolio securities, the amortized cost method may result in periods during
which the amortized cost value of the securities may be higher or lower than
their market value. This would result in the yield on a shareholder's investment
being higher or lower than that which would be recognized if the net asset value
of a Fund's portfolio was not constant and was permitted to fluctuate with the
market value of its portfolio securities. It is believed that any such
differences will normally be minimal.
<PAGE>
CAPITALIZATION
There are no conversion or preemptive rights in connection with any shares
of the Funds, nor are there cumulative voting rights with respect to the shares
of any such Fund. Each issued and outstanding share of each Fund is entitled to
participate equally in dividends and distributions declared by such Fund, and
upon liquidation or dissolution, in the net assets of such Fund remaining after
satisfaction of outstanding liabilities. The Trust's Declaration of Trust
provides that the obligations and liabilities of a particular Fund are
restricted to the assets of that Fund and do not extend to the assets of the
Trust generally.
All issued and outstanding shares of each Fund will be fully paid and
nonassessable and redeemable at net asset value per share. The issuance of
certificates representing shares of the Trust is at the discretion of the
Trustees.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX INFORMATION
DISTRIBUTIONS
The net income and net realized capital gains, if any, of each of the
Funds ^ are declared daily. ^ A Fund's dividends ^ will be reinvested monthly in
additional shares (or fractions thereof) of each applicable Fund pursuant to
each Fund's Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Such reinvestment will take
place on the last business day of each month. Each shareholder may elect to
terminate his participation in such plan and to receive his distributions in
cash. Shareholders who redeem all of their shares at any time during the month
will be paid all dividends accrued through the date of redemption. Shareholders
who redeem less than all of their shares will be paid the proceeds of the
redemption in cash, and dividends with respect to the redeemed shares will be
reinvested in additional shares (unless the shareholder has elected not to
participate in this plan or has elected to terminate his participation in the
plan). (See "Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan.")
FEDERAL TAXES
Each Fund intends to continue to qualify for the special tax treatment
afforded regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). If a Fund qualifies for treatment
as a regulated investment company, it will not be subject to federal income
taxes to the extent that it distributes its ordinary (taxable) income and net
realized capital gains.
It is intended that the Tax-Exempt Fund will qualify to pay
exempt-interest dividends pursuant to Section 852(b)(5) of the Code, and
shareholders will be notified in writing of any dividend, or portion thereof,
which represents an exempt-interest dividend. Exempt-interest dividends are
<PAGE>
excludable from the gross income of a shareholder for federal income tax
purposes, but may be subject to state and local taxes.
With respect to a shareholder that is exempt from federal income taxation
under Section 401(a) or 501(a) of the Code, (which will derive no benefit from
the tax-free nature of the exempt interest dividends paid by the Tax-Exempt
Fund), the distributions made by ^ the Money Fund will not constitute unrelated
business taxable income (i.e., taxable income derived by a tax-exempt entity
from any unrelated trade or business regularly carried on by it) and thus will
not be taxable. ^
With respect to a shareholder that is not exempt from federal income
taxation, all distributions from a Fund, (except for distributions of
exempt-interest dividends by the Tax-Exempt Fund or return of capital
distributions), whether received in cash or in additional shares of ^ the Fund,
will be taxable as a dividend and must be reported by the shareholder on its
federal income tax return. Shareholders of the Trust are advised to consult
their own tax advisers with respect to these matters.
^
Distributions of exempt-interest dividends derived from interest on
certain private activity and industrial development bonds are ^ treated as ^ tax
preference ^ items and may subject ^ shareholders to, or increase their
liability under, the ^ AMT. In addition, corporate shareholders may have to
include exempt- interest dividends when calculating their alternative minimum
taxable income^ ("AMTI").
A corporation's AMTI is increased by 75% of the amount by which its
"adjusted current earnings" (which includes adjustments for items such as
tax-exempt interest) exceeds the amount of its AMTI calculated without regard to
such adjustments.
Information concerning the status of a Fund's distributions for federal
income tax purposes will be mailed to shareholders annually. Such distributions^
may be subject to state and local taxes.
The foregoing is a general and abbreviated summary of the applicable
provisions of the Code ^ presently in effect, and is qualified in its entirety
by reference thereto. The Code and ^ the Regulations thereunder are subject to
change by legislative or administrative action. For further discussion of the
tax consequences of becoming a shareholder of the Trust, see the "Tax
Information" section of the Statement of Additional Information ^ . ^
Shareholders should consult with their tax advisors concerning the tax
consequences of an investment in the Funds.
AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
For the convenience of the shareholders and to permit
shareholders to increase their shareholdings in the Funds in which
<PAGE>
they have invested, the Fund's transfer agent, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc.,
("INVESCO"), is automatically appointed by the investors to receive all
dividends ^ of the respective Funds and to reinvest them on their payment dates
in shares (or fractions thereof) of the Fund at the net asset value per share
next determined after reinvestment.
Shareholders may, however, elect not to participate or to terminate their
participation at any time without penalty in the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment
Plan by notifying INVESCO in writing at the time of investment (for new
investments), or at least 15 days prior to the desired date of termination (for
existing participants). Shareholders may rejoin the plan by notifying the Fund's
transfer agent in writing at least 15 days prior to the payment date on which
such shareholder wishes to rejoin the plan.
Upon termination of a shareholder's participation in the Automatic
Dividend Reinvestment Plan, a check for the market value of any fractional
interest will, at the request of the shareholder, be sent to the shareholder.
All costs of the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan, including those of
registration under applicable securities laws, if any, will be borne by the
Adviser.
HOW TO BUY FUND SHARES
Shares of the Funds are sold at the net asset value per share next
determined after the receipt of the investor's purchase order and payment in
"good funds," as described below. No sales charge is imposed upon the purchase
of shares.
The minimum initial purchase of shares required by the Trust is
$1,000,000. Subscribers will be given credit for amounts that they have invested
in any of the Funds. Subsequent purchases may be made in amounts of $100,000 or
more. The Trustees, acting through the Distributor, reserve the right to reduce
or to waive the minimum purchase requirements in certain cases -- such as
investments involving investors which are affiliated with one another (such as
separate employee benefit plans sponsored by the same employer or separate
companies under common control, for example a parent company and its
subsidiaries or two or more subsidiaries of the same parent company) or where
additional investments are expected to be made on a regular basis in amounts
sufficient to meet the minimum requirement within a reasonable period of time
after the initial investment. The Trustees, acting through the Distributor, also
reserve the right to reject any subscription in whole or in part for any reason
at the time that the subscription is first received. The Trust offers its shares
on a continuous basis; however, the Trust may terminate the continuous offering
of its shares at any time in the discretion of the Trustees.
<PAGE>
Following receipt by the transfer agent, INVESCO (sometimes referred to as
the "Transfer Agent"), of a proper purchase order and good funds ("good funds"
means cashier's, certified, personal or federal funds check or wire transfer, as
described below), the investor will be credited with the number of full and
fractional shares of the stated Fund purchased with the subscription amount.
Checks must be made payable to INVESCO Treasurer's Series Trust, and must
include the name of the desired Fund. Purchase orders, for shares of the Funds
should be forwarded to INVESCO Treasurer's Series Trust, P.O. Box 173710,
Denver, Colorado 80217-3710. Orders sent by overnight courier, including Express
Mail, should be sent to the street address, not Post Office Box, of INVESCO
Funds Group, Inc., 7800 E. Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80237. A confirmation
of the investment will be mailed to the investor.
Additional purchase applications are available from the Distributor.
Investors may call INVESCO Services, Inc., for assistance in completing the
required application and any other authorization forms. The toll free telephone
number (except for Georgia) is 1-800-241-5477. In Georgia, call 404-892-0896.
Investors may also arrange to acquire shares through broker-dealers other
than the Distributor. Such broker-dealers, who must be members of the NASD, may
charge investors a reasonable handling fee. The services to be provided and the
applicable fees are established by each broker-dealer acting independently from
the Trust. Such broker-dealers have the responsibility of promptly transferring
investors' purchase orders and funds to the Transfer Agent and custodian,
respectively. Shares acquired through such broker-dealers will be purchased at
the applicable Fund's net asset value per share next determined after the
receipt by the Fund's transfer agent of a proper purchase order and good funds.
Neither the Distributor nor the Trust receives any part of such handling fees
when charged and such handling fees can be avoided by investing directly with
the Trust through the Distributor.
PURCHASE BY WIRE
Investors may purchase shares of the Funds by transmitting Federal funds
by bank wire to United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A., ABA Routing
#1010-0069-5, Wire text: credit to account 9870287056, FBO INVESCO Funds for
further credit to (Fund name, account # and $ amount), Treasurer's Money Market
Reserve Fund UMB #740115001, or Treasurer's Tax-Exempt Reserve Fund UMB
#740116009. Instructions for new accounts should specify INVESCO Treasurer's
Series Trust, the name of the desired Fund and should include the name, address
and IRS identification number, if applicable, of each person in whose name the
shares are to be registered. Existing shareholders need only to specify INVESCO
Treasurer's Series Trust, the name of the desired Fund and applicable account
number. The required purchase application or additional shares purchase
application should be forwarded to the Distributor (INVESCO Services, Inc.).
Federal funds transmitted by bank wire to the United Missouri Bank of Kansas
City, N.A., and received prior to 11:30 a.m. (New York time), become available
to the Trust and are invested that day. Federal funds transmitted by bank wire
<PAGE>
and received after 11:30 a.m. (New York time) will be available to and deemed
received and invested by the Trust on the next business day. The Trust is not
responsible for delays in any wire transmission.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Shareholders in either of the Funds may exchange shares of their
respective Fund for shares of the other Fund. There is no charge for such
exchanges. Investors should consider the difference in the investment objectives
and portfolio compositions of such Funds, and should be aware that the exchange
privilege may only be available in those states where exchanges may legally be
made, which will require that the shares being acquired are registered for sale
in the shareholder's state of residence.
An exchange request may be given in writing or by telephone to the
Transfer Agent, and must comply with the requirements for a redemption. (See
"Redemption of Shares.") If the exchange request is in proper order, the
exchange will be based on the respective net asset values of the shares involved
which is next determined after the request is received. The exchange of shares
of one of the Funds for shares of another Fund is treated for federal income tax
purposes as a sale of the shares given in exchange and an investor (other than a
tax-exempt investor) may, therefore, realize a taxable gain or loss. ^ The
privilege of exchanging Fund shares by telephone is available to shareholders
automatically unless expressly declined. By signing the New Account Application,
a Telephone Transaction Authorization Form or otherwise utilizing telephone
exchange privileges, the investor has agreed ^ that the Fund will not be liable
for following instructions communicated by telephone that it reasonably believes
to be genuine. The Trust employs procedures, which it believes are reasonable,
designed to confirm that exchange instructions are genuine. These may include
recording telephone instructions and providing written confirmations of exchange
transactions. ^ As a result of this policy, the investor may bear the risk of
any loss due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions; provided, however, that
if the Trust fails to follow these or other reasonable procedures, the Trust may
be liable. The Trust reserves the right to modify or terminate the exchange
privilege at any time.
PURCHASE BY TELEPHONE ORDERS
The purchase of shares of the Funds can be expedited by placing telephone
orders, subject to the minimum share purchase requirements currently in effect.
Shares purchased through telephone orders will be issued at the next determined
net asset value after receipt of an investor's telephone instructions. Since the
Funds currently determine their net asset values at 11:30 a.m. (New York time),
investors placing telephone orders for Fund shares that are received prior to
that time will have shares purchased for their account as of that day. Investors
placing telephone orders that are received after that time will have Fund shares
purchased for their accounts as of the next business day. All payments for
<PAGE>
telephone orders must be received by the Funds' custodian, the United Missouri
Bank of Kansas City, N.A., in "federal funds" (defined as a federal funds check
or wire transfer in proper form) by the close of business on the business day
that shares are purchased for the investor's account or the order will be
cancelled. In the event of such cancellation, the purchaser will be held
responsible for any decline in the value of the shares. INVESCO Services, Inc.
has agreed to indemnify the Funds for any losses resulting from such
cancellations.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
A shareholder wishing to redeem all or any portion of his shares may do so
by giving notice of redemption directly to or through any registered securities
dealer to the Distributor or to the Transfer Agent, in the manner set forth
below. The redemption price is the net asset value per share next determined
after the initial receipt by either the registered securities dealer, the
Distributor or the Transfer Agent of proper notice of redemption. (See "How to
Buy Fund Shares.") Each Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of
$1.00 per share (see "Computation of Net Asset Value"). Securities dealers have
the responsibility of promptly transmitting such redemption notices to the
Distributor or the Transfer Agent. Such securities dealers will only assist
investors in redeeming their shares from the Funds, since no securities dealer
is authorized to repurchase such shares on behalf of the Funds.
If a shareholder holds certificates for the shares to be redeemed, these
must simultaneously be surrendered, properly endorsed with signature(s)
guaranteed by a member firm of a domestic stock exchange, a U.S. commercial
bank, a foreign correspondent of a U.S. commercial bank, or a trust company, and
the certificates must be forwarded to INVESCO Treasurer's Series Trust, P.O. Box
173710, Denver, Colorado 80217-3710. Redemption requests sent by overnight
courier, including Express Mail, should be sent to the street address, not Post
Office Box, of INVESCO Funds Group, Inc., 7800 E. Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado
80237. The signature on any request for redemption of shares not represented by
certificates, or on any stock power in lieu thereof, must be similarly
guaranteed. In each case, the signature or signatures must correspond to the
name or names in which the account is registered. The signature guarantee is to
prevent fraud and is for the protection of the investor as a shareholder.
Shareholders should be advised that if notice of redemption is received
without information thereon sufficient to determine the applicable Fund or the
value or number of shares involved, no redemption will be effected until such
information becomes available.
If a redemption request is received by 11:30 a.m. (New York time),
proceeds will normally be wired that day, if requested by the shareholder, but
no dividend will be earned on the redeemed shares on that day. Proceeds of
<PAGE>
shares on that day. Proceeds of redemption requests received after 11:30 a.m.
(New York time) will be based on the net asset value next determined (which is
11:30 a.m. of the next day that net asset value per share is determined), will
normally be sent on the day such net asset value per share is determined, but in
any event within 7 days, and will not earn a dividend for that day. Although
each Fund attempts to maintain a constant net asset value per share of $1.00,
the value of shares of a Fund on redemption may be more or less than the
shareholder's cost, depending upon the value of the Fund's assets at the time.
REDEMPTION BY CHECK
Shareholders in the Funds may redeem shares by check in an amount not less
than $100,000. At the shareholder's request, the Fund's custodian will provide
the shareholder with checks drawn on the account maintained for that purpose on
behalf of the Funds by the custodian. These checks can be made payable to the
order of any person and the payee of the check may cash or deposit the check in
the same manner as any check drawn on a bank. When such a check is presented for
payment, the applicable Fund will redeem a sufficient number of full and
fractional shares in the shareholder's account to cover the amount of the check.
Shareholders earn dividends on the amounts being redeemed by check until such
time as such check clears the bank. If the amount of the check is greater than
the value of the shares held in the shareholder's account, the check will be
returned, and the shareholder may be subject to extra charges (presently
estimated to be approximately $15.00 per returned check). The Funds and the
custodian each reserves the right at any time to suspend the procedure
permitting redemption by check.
REDEMPTION BY TELEPHONE
Shareholders of the Fund may elect to redeem shares of the Fund by
telephone. Such redemptions are effected by calling the Distributor at
404-892-0896 in Georgia or 800-241-5477, outside of Georgia. The proceeds from a
redemption by telephone will promptly be forwarded according to the
shareholder's instructions. In electing to use the telephone redemption, the
investor authorizes the Distributor to act on telephone instructions from any
person representing himself to be the investor, and whom the Distributor
reasonably believes to be genuine. The Distributor's and Transfer Agent's
records of such instructions are binding. By signing the new account
Application, a Telephone Transaction Authorization Form, or otherwise utilizing
telephone exchange privileges, the investor has agreed that the Funds, INVESCO,
and their affiliates will not be liable for following instructions communicated
by telephone that they reasonably believe to be genuine. The Funds employ
procedures, which they believe are reasonable, designed to confirm that
telephone instructions are genuine. These may include recording telephone
instructions and providing written confirmation of transactions initiated by
telephone. As a result of this policy, the investor may bear the risk of any
<PAGE>
loss due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions; provided, however,
that if a Fund fails to follow these or other reasonable procedures, the Fund
may be liable. The proceeds of shares redeemed by telephone must be in an amount
not less than $100,000. Investors should be aware that a telephone redemption
may be difficult to implement during periods of drastic economic or market
changes. Should redeeming shareholders be unable to implement a telephone
redemption during such periods, or at any other time, they may give appropriate
notice of redemption to the distributor by mail. The Trust reserves the right to
modify or terminate the telephone redemption privilege at any time.
^
GENERAL
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the date of payment for redeemed
shares may be postponed, or the Trust's obligation to redeem its shares may be
suspended (1) for any period during which trading on the New York Stock Exchange
is restricted (as determined by the SEC), (2) for any period during which an
emergency exists (as determined by the SEC) which makes it impracticable for the
Trust to dispose of its securities or to determine the value of a Fund's net
assets, or (3) for such other periods as the SEC may, by order, permit for the
protection of shareholders.
If the Trustees determine that it is in the best interest of a Fund, a
Fund has the right to redeem upon prior written notice, at the then current net
asset value per share, all shareholder accounts which have dropped below a
minimum level ($500,000 or less) as a result of redemption of such Fund's shares
(but not as a result of any reduction in market value of such shares). An
investor will have 60 days to increase the shares in his account to the minimum
level in order to avoid any such involuntary redemption.
SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
The Trust will issue to each of the Fund's shareholders semiannual and
annual reports containing each Fund's financial statements, including selected
per share data and ratios and a schedule of each Fund's portfolio securities.
The federal income tax status of shareholder distributions will also be
reported to shareholders after the end of each year.
Shareholders having any questions concerning the Trust or any of the Funds
may call the Distributor. Outside of Georgia, the toll-free telephone number is
1-800-241-5477. In Georgia, the telephone number is 404-892-0896.
MISCELLANEOUS
As a Massachusetts business trust, the Trust is not required
to hold annual shareholder meetings. However, special meetings of
shareholders for action by shareholder vote may be called for purposes such as
electing or removing trustees, changing fundamental policies, approving an
advisory contract or as may be requested in writing by the holders of at least
10% of the outstanding shares of the Fund or as may be required by applicable
law or the ^ Trust's Declaration of Trust. Additionally, the Trust will assist
shareholders in communicating with other shareholders as required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Each Trust shareholder receives one vote for
each share owned.
<PAGE>
United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A. is the custodian of the
portfolio securities and cash of the Funds. The custodian may use the services
of foreign sub-custodians. Such foreign sub-custodians will be selected in
accordance with the provisions of Rule 17f-5 (or any successor rule) promulgated
under the 1940 Act.
The Transfer Agent will maintain each shareholder's account, as to each
Fund, and furnish the shareholder with written information concerning all
transactions in the account, including information needed for tax records. The
Trust has the right to appoint a successor Transfer Agent. INVESCO also serves
as the Dividend Disbursement and Reinvestment Agent and Redemption Agent of the
Funds. INVESCO does not perform any investment management functions for the
Trust, but performs certain administrative services on its behalf pursuant to an
Administrative Service Agreement (see information below). The Adviser pays the
Transfer Agent an annual fee of $50.00 per shareholder account, per Fund, with a
minimum annual fee of $5,000 per Fund. For the fiscal years ended December 31,
1995, 1994, and 1993, ^ the Trust's Funds paid no transfer agency fees to
INVESCO, as those expenses were absorbed and paid by the Adviser, pursuant to
its Advisory Agreement with the Trust. The principal address of INVESCO is 7800
East Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80237.
The Declaration of Trust pursuant to which the Trust is organized contains
an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the
Trust and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each instrument
entered into or executed by the Trust. The Declaration of Trust also provides
for indemnification out of the Trust's property for any shareholder held
personally liable for any Trust obligation. Thus, the risk of a shareholder
being personally liable as a partner for obligations of the Trust is limited to
the unlikely circumstance in which the Trust itself would be unable to meet its
obligations.
The Trust has entered into an Administrative Services Agreement (the
"Administrative Agreement"), dated as of January 23, 1991, with INVESCO, which
was approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees, including all of the independent
trustees, on January 22, 1991. Pursuant to the Administrative Agreement, INVESCO
will perform certain administrative and internal accounting services, including,
without limitation, maintaining general ledger and capital stock accounts,
preparing a daily trial balance, calculating net asset value daily, and
<PAGE>
providing selected general ledger reports. For such services, the Adviser
pays INVESCO a fee consisting of a base fee of $10,000 per year, per Fund, plus
an additional incremental fee per Fund computed at an annual rate of 0.015% per
annum of the net asset value of the applicable Fund. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, ^ 1995, the Funds paid no administrative services fees to INVESCO,
as those expenses were absorbed and paid by the Adviser, pursuant to its
Advisory Agreement with the Trust.
This Prospectus omits certain information contained in the registration
statement which the Trust has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, and
reference is made to that registration statement and to the exhibits thereto for
further information with respect to the Trust and the shares offered hereby.
Copies of such registration statement, including exhibits, may be obtained from
the Commission's principal office at Washington, D.C., upon payment of the fee
prescribed by the Commission.
LEGAL OPINIONS
The legality of the securities offered by this Prospectus will be passed
upon for the Trust by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP, 1800 ^ Massachusetts Avenue
NW, Washington, D.C. 20036.
<PAGE>
APPENDIX A
Some of the terms used in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information are described below.
Bank obligations include certificates of deposit which are negotiable
certificates evidencing the indebtedness of a commercial bank to repay funds
deposited with it for a definite period of time (usually from 14 days to one
year) at a stated interest rate.
Bankers' acceptances are credit instruments evidencing the obligation of a
bank to pay a draft which has been drawn on it by a customer. These instruments
reflect the obligation both of the bank and of the drawer to pay the face amount
of the instrument upon maturity.
Bond Anticipation Notes normally are issued to provide interim financing
until long-term financing can be arranged. The long-term bonds then provide the
money for the repayment of the Notes.
Bonds: Municipal Bonds may be issued to raise money for various public
purposes -- like constructing public facilities and making loans to public
institutions. Certain types of municipal bonds, such as certain project notes,
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Certain types of
municipal bonds are issued to obtain funding for privately operated facilities.
The two principal classifications of municipal bonds are "general obligation"
and "revenue" bonds. General obligation bonds are backed by the taxing power of
the issuing municipality and are considered the safest type of municipal bond.
Issuers of general obligation bonds include states, counties, cities, towns and
regional districts. The proceeds of these obligations are used to fund a wide
range of public projects including the construction or improvement of schools,
highways and roads, water and sewer systems and a variety of other public
purposes. The basic security of general obligation bonds is the issuer's pledge
of its faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of principal and
interest. Revenue bonds are backed by the net revenues derived from a particular
facility or group of facilities of a municipality or, in some cases, from the
proceeds of a special excise or other specific revenue source. Although the
principal security behind these bonds varies widely, many provide additional
security in the form of a debt service reserve fund whose monies may also be
used to make principal and interest payments on the issuer's obligations.
Industrial development revenue bonds are a specific type of revenue bond backed
by the credit and security of a private user and therefore investments in these
bonds have more potential risk. Although nominally issued by municipal
authorities, industrial development revenue bonds are generally not secured by
the taxing power of the municipality but are secured by the revenues of the
authority derived from payments by the industrial user.
<PAGE>
Commercial paper consists of short-term (usually one to 180 days)
unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations in order to finance their
current operations.
Corporate debt obligations are bonds and notes issued by corporations and
other business organizations, including business trusts, in order to finance
their long-term credit needs.
Money Market refers to the marketplace composed of the financial
institutions which handle the purchase and sale of liquid, short-term,
high-grade debt instruments. The money market is not a single entity, but
consists of numerous separate markets, each of which deals in a different type
of short-term debt instrument. These include U.S. Government securities,
commercial paper, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, which are
generally referred to as money market instruments.
Portfolio Securities Loans: The Trust, on behalf of each of the Funds, may
lend limited amounts of its portfolio securities (not to exceed 20% of a
particular Fund's total assets) to broker-dealers or other institutional
investors. Management of the Trust understands that it is the current view of
the staff of the SEC that the Funds are permitted to engage in loan transactions
only if the following conditions are met: (1) the applicable Fund must receive
100% collateral in the form of cash or cash equivalents, e.g., U.S. Treasury
bills or notes, from the borrower; (2) the borrower must increase the collateral
whenever the market value of the securities (determined on a daily basis) rises
above the level of the collateral; (3) the Trust must be able to terminate the
loan after notice; (4) the applicable Fund must receive reasonable interest on
the loan or a flat fee from the borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any
dividends, interest or other distributions on the securities loaned and any
increase in market value; (5) the applicable Fund may pay only reasonable
custodian fees in connection with the loan; (6) voting rights on the securities
loaned may pass to the borrower; however, if a material event affecting the
investment occurs, the Trust must be able to terminate the loan and vote proxies
or enter into an alternative arrangement with the borrower to enable the Trust
to vote proxies. Excluding items (1) and (2), these practices may be amended
from time to time as regulatory provisions permit.
Repurchase Agreements: A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a
Fund purchases a security and simultaneously commits to sell the security to the
seller at an agreed upon price and date (usually not more than seven days) after
the date of purchase. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed upon market rate of interest which is unrelated to the coupon rate or
maturity of the purchased security. A Fund's risk is limited to the ability of
the seller to pay the agreed upon amount on the delivery date. In the opinion of
management this risk is not material; if the seller defaults, the underlying
security constitutes collateral for the seller's obligations to pay. This
collateral will be held by the custodian for the Trust's assets. However, in
<PAGE>
the absence of compelling legal precedents in this area, there can be no
assurance that the Trust will be able to maintain its rights to such collateral
upon default of the issuer of the repurchase agreement. To the extent that the
proceeds from a sale upon a default in the obligation to repurchase are less
than the repurchase price, the particular Fund would suffer a loss.
Revenue Anticipation Notes are issued in expectation of receipt of other
kinds of revenue, such as federal revenues available under the Federal Revenue
Sharing Program.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Transactions where a Fund temporarily
transfers possession of a portfolio security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash, and agrees to buy the security back at a
future date and price. The use of reverse repurchase agreements will create
leverage, which is speculative. Reverse repurchase agreements are borrowings
subject to the Funds' investment restrictions applicable to that activity. The
Trust will enter into reverse repurchase agreements solely for the purpose of
obtaining funds necessary for meeting redemption requests. The proceeds received
from a reverse repurchase agreement will not be used to purchase securities for
investment purposes.
Short-Term Discount Notes (tax-exempt commercial paper) are promissory
notes issued by municipalities to supplement their cash flow. The ratings A-1
and P-1 are the highest commercial paper ratings assigned by S&P and Moody's,
respectively.
Tax Anticipation Notes are to finance working capital needs of
municipalities and are issued in anticipation of various seasonal tax revenues,
to be payable from these specific future taxes.
Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained in a banking
institution for a specified period of time at a stated interest rate. Time
deposits which may be held by the Funds will not benefit from insurance from the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
U.S. Government securities are debt securities (including bills, notes,
and bonds) issued by the U.S. Treasury or issued by an agency or instrumentality
of the U.S. Government which is established under the authority of an Act of
Congress. Such agencies or instrumentalities include, but are not limited to,
the Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage
Association, the Federal Farm Credit Bank, and the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Although all obligations of agencies, authorities and instrumentalities are not
direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, payment of the interest and principal
on these obligations is generally backed directly or indirectly by the U.S.
Government. This support can range from the backing of the full faith and credit
of the United States to U.S. Treasury guarantees, or to the backing solely of
the issuing instrumentality itself. In the case of securities not backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States, the investor must look principally
<PAGE>
to the agency issuing or guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate
repayment, and may not be able to assert a claim against the United States
itself in the event the agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitments.
RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL AND CORPORATE DEBT OBLIGATIONS
The four highest ratings of Moody's and Standard & Poor's for municipal
and corporate debt obligations are Aaa, Aa, A and Baa and AAA, AA, A and BBB,
respectively.
Moody's. The characteristics of these debt obligations rated
by Moody's are generally as follows:
Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally
referred to as "gilt edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or
by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the
various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be
visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position
of such issues.
Aa -- Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally
known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds
because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or
fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there
may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear
somewhat larger than in Aaa securities. Moody's applies the numerical
modifiers 1, 2 and 3 to the Aa rating classification. The modifier 1
indicates a ranking for the security in the higher end of this rating
category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3
indicates a ranking in the lower end of this rating category.
A -- Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes
and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving
security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements
may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in
the future.
Baa -- Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium grade
obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.
Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present
but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds
lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative
characteristics as well.
<PAGE>
Moody's ratings for state and municipal notes and other short-term loans
are designated Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG"). This distinction is in
recognition of the difference between short-term credit and long-term credit. A
short-term rating may also be assigned on an issue having a demand feature. Such
ratings are designated as VMIG. Short-term ratings on issues with demand
features are differentiated by the use of the VMIG symbol to reflect such
characteristics as payment upon demand rather than fixed maturity dates and
payment relying on external liquidity.
MIG 1/VMIG 1 -- Notes and loans bearing this designation are of the best
quality, enjoying strong protection from established cash flows of funds
for their servicing or from established and broad-based access to the
market for refinancing, or both.
MIG 2/VMIG 2 -- Notes and loans bearing this designation are of high
quality, with margins of protection ample although not so large as in the
preceding group.
Standard & Poor's. The characteristics of these debt obligations rated by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group are generally as follows:
AAA -- This is the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's to a debt
obligation and indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and
interest.
AA -- Bonds rated AA also qualify as high quality debt obligations.
Capacity to pay principal and interest is very strong, and in the majority
of instances they differ from AAA issues only in small degree.
A -- Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects
of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher
rated categories.
BBB -- Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher
rated categories.
Standard & Poor's ratings for short-term notes are as follows:
SP-1 -- Very strong capacity to pay principal and interest.
SP-2 -- Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.
SP-3 -- Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.
<PAGE>
A debt rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold a
security, inasmuch as it does not comment as to market price or suitability for
a particular investor.
RATINGS OF COMMERCIAL PAPER
Description of Moody's commercial paper ratings. Among the factors
considered by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. in assigning commercial paper
ratings are the following: (1) evaluation of the management of the issuer; (2)
economic evaluation of the issuer's industry or industries and an appraisal of
the risks which may be inherent in certain areas; (3) evaluation of the issuer's
products in relation to competition and customer acceptance; (4) liquidity; (5)
amount and quality of long-term debt; (6) trend of earnings over a period of ten
years; (7) financial strength of a parent company and the relationships which
exist with the issuer; and (8) recognition by the management of obligations
which may be present or may arise as a result of public interest questions and
preparations to meet such obligations. Relative differences in strength and
weakness in respect to these criteria would establish a rating of one of three
classifications; P-1 (Highest Quality), P-2 (Higher Quality) or P-3 (High
Quality).
Description of Standard & Poor's commercial paper ratings. A Standard &
Poor's commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the likelihood of
timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days.
Ratings are graded into four categories, ranging from "A" for the highest
quality obligations to "D" for the lowest. The "A" categories are as follows:
A -- Issues assigned this highest rating are regarded as having the
greatest capacity for timely payment. Issues in this category are
delineated with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 to indicate the relative degree of
safety.
A-1 -- This designation indicates that the degree of safety
regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong.
A-2 -- Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation
is strong. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as
for issues designated A-1.
A-3 -- Issues carrying this designation have a satisfactory capacity
for timely payment. They are, however, somewhat more vulnerable to
the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations
carrying the higher designations.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Reference is made to "Investment Objectives and Policies" in the
Prospectus for a discussion of the investment objectives and policies of the
Funds. In addition, set forth below is certain further information relating to
the Tax-Exempt Fund.
TAX-EXEMPT FUND
In order to enhance the liquidity, stability or quality of a municipal
obligation, the Tax-Exempt Fund may acquire a right to sell the obligation to
another party at a guaranteed price approximating par value, either on demand or
at specified intervals. The right to sell may form part of the obligation or be
acquired separately by the Tax-Exempt Fund. These rights may be referred to as
demand features, standby commitments or puts, depending on their characteristics
(collectively referred to as "Standby Commitments"), and may involve letters of
credit or other credit support arrangements supplied by domestic or foreign
banks supporting the other party's ability to purchase the obligation from the
Tax-Exempt Fund. In considering whether an obligation meets the Tax-Exempt
Fund's quality standards, the Fund may look to the creditworthiness of the party
providing the right to sell or to the quality of the obligation itself.
These transactions improve portfolio liquidity by making available
same-day settlements on sales of portfolio securities. The Tax-Exempt Fund may
engage in such transactions subject to any limitations contained in the rules
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. A Standby Commitment is a right
acquired by the Fund, when it purchases a municipal obligation from a broker,
dealer or other financial institution ("seller"), to sell up to the same
principal amount of such securities back to the seller, at the Fund's option, at
a specified price. The exercise by the Tax-Exempt Fund of a Standby Commitment
is subject to the ability of the other party to fulfill its contractual
commitment.
Standby Commitments acquired by the Tax-Exempt Fund will have the
following features: (1) they will be in writing and will be physically held by
the Fund's custodian; (2) the Fund's rights to exercise them will be
unconditional and unqualified; (3) they will be entered into only with sellers
which in the Adviser's opinion present a minimal risk of default; (4) although
Standby Commitments will not be transferable, municipal obligations purchased
subject to such commitments may be sold to a third party at any time, even
though the commitment is outstanding; and (5) their exercise price will be (i)
the Fund's acquisition cost (excluding the cost, if any, of the Standby
Commitment) of the municipal obligations which are subject to the commitment
(excluding any accrued interest which the Fund paid on their acquisition), less
any amortized market premium or plus any amortized market or original issue
discount during the period the Fund owned the securities, plus (ii) all interest
accrued on the securities since the last interest payment date.
<PAGE>
The Trust, on behalf of the Tax-Exempt Fund, expects that Standby
Commitments generally will be available without the payment of any direct or
indirect consideration. However, if necessary or advisable, the Tax-Exempt Fund
will pay for Standby Commitments, either separately in cash or by paying a
higher price for portfolio securities which are acquired subject to the
commitments.
It is difficult to evaluate the likelihood of use or the potential benefit
of a Standby Commitment. Therefore, it is expected that the Trustees of the
Trust will determine that Standby Commitments ordinarily have a "fair value" of
zero, regardless of whether any direct or indirect consideration was paid. When
the Tax-Exempt Fund has paid for a Standby Commitment, its cost will be
reflected as unrealized depreciation for the period during which the commitment
is held.
Management of the Trust understands that the Internal Revenue Service (the
"Service") has issued a favorable revenue ruling to the effect that, under
specified circumstances, a registered investment company will be the owner of
tax-exempt municipal obligations acquired subject to a put option. The Service
has also issued private letter rulings to certain taxpayers (which do not serve
as precedent for other taxpayers) to the effect that tax-exempt interest
received by a regulated investment company with respect to such obligations will
be tax-exempt in the hands of such company and may be distributed to
shareholders as exempt-interest dividends. The Service has subsequently
announced that it will not ordinarily issue advance ruling letters as to the
identity of the true owner of property in cases involving the sale of securities
or participation interests therein if the purchaser has the right to cause the
security, or the participation interest therein, to be purchased by either the
seller or a third party. The Tax-Exempt Fund intends to take the position that
it is the owner of any municipal obligations acquired subject to a Standby
Commitment and that tax-exempt interest earned with respect to such municipal
obligations will be tax-exempt in its hands. There is no assurance that Standby
Commitments will be available to the Fund nor has the Fund assumed that such
commitments would continue to be available under all market conditions.

valuation committees each receive compensation for serving in such capacities in
addition to the compensation paid to all independent directors.

Deferred Compensation Plan discussed below, and not compensation deferred at the
election of the directors/trustees.
3These figures represent the Trust's share of the estimated annual
benefits payable by the INVESCO Complex (excluding The Global Health Sciences
Fund, which does not participate in any retirement plan) upon the trustee's
retirement, calculated using the current method of allocating director/trustee
compensation among the funds in the INVESCO Complex. These estimated benefits
assume retirement at age 72, or the extended retirement date referred
hereinafter, and that the basic retainer payable to the directors will be
adjusted periodically for inflation, for increases in the number of funds in the
INVESCO Complex, and for other reasons during the period in which retirement
benefits are accrued on behalf of the respective directors/trustees. This
results in lower estimated benefits for directors/trustees who are closer to
retirement and higher estimated benefits for directors/trustees who are further
<PAGE>
from retirement. ^ With the exception of Messrs. Frazier and McIntyre, each
of these directors/trustees has served as a director/trustee of one or more of
the funds in the INVESCO Complex for the minimum five-year period required to be
eligible to participate in the Defined Benefit Deferred Compensation Plan.
4Total as a percentage of the Trust's net assets as of December 31, ^ 1995.
5Total as a percentage of the net assets of the INVESCO Complex ^ as of
December 31, ^ 1995.
Messrs. Bishop and Brady, as "interested persons" of the Trust and of the
other funds in the INVESCO Complex, receive compensation as officers or
employees of INVESCO or its affiliated companies, and do not receive any
trustee's fees or other compensation from the Trust or the other funds in the
INVESCO Complex for their service as directors.
The boards of directors/trustees of the mutual funds managed by INVESCO
Funds Group, Inc., ^ INVESCO Advisor Funds, Inc. and the Trust adopted a Defined
Benefit Deferred Compensation Plan for the non-interested directors and trustees
of the funds. Under this plan, each director or trustee who is not an interested
person of the funds (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) and who
has served for at least five years (a "qualified director") is entitled to
receive, upon retiring from the boards at the mandatory retirement age of 72 (or
the retirement age of 73 ^ to 74, if the retirement date is extended by the
board for one or two years, but less than three years), continuation of payments
for one year (the "first year retirement benefit") of the annual basic retainer
payable by the funds to the qualified director at the time of his retirement or
disability (the "basic retainer"). Commencing with any such director's second
year of retirement, and commencing with the first year of retirement of a
director whose retirement has been extended by the board for three years, a
qualified director shall receive quarterly payments at an annual rate equal to
25% of the basic retainer. These payments will continue for the remainder of the
qualified director's life or ten years, whichever is longer (the "reduced
retainer payments"). If a qualified director dies or becomes disabled after age
72 and before age 74 while still a director of the funds, the first year
retirement benefit and the reduced retainer payments will be made to him or to
his beneficiary or estate. If a qualified director becomes disabled or dies
either prior to age 72 or during his 74th year while still a director of the
funds, the director will not be entitled to receive the first year retirement
benefit; however, the reduced retainer payments will be made to his beneficiary
or estate. The plan is administered by a committee of three directors who are
also participants in the plan and one director who is not a plan participant.
The cost of the plan will be allocated among the INVESCO, ^ INVESCO Advisor and
Treasurer's Series funds in a manner determined to be fair and equitable by the
committee. ^ The Trust is not making any payments to directors under the plan as
<PAGE>
of the date of this Statement of Additional Information^. The Trust has no
stock options or other pension or retirement plans for management or other
personnel and pays no salary or compensation to any of its officers.
^
The Trust has an audit committee which ^ is comprised of ^ four of the
trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust. The committee meets
periodically with the Trust's independent accountants and officers to review
accounting principles used by the Trust, the adequacy of internal controls, the
responsibilities and fees of the independent accountants, and other matters.
The Trust also has a management liaison committee which meets quarterly
with various management personnel of the Adviser in order (a) to facilitate
better understanding of management and operations of the Trust, and (b) to
review legal and operational matters which have been assigned to the committee
by the board of trustees, in furtherance of the board of trustees' overall duty
of supervision.

^ As indicated in the Prospectus, ICM permits investment and other
personnel to purchase and sell securities for their own accounts in accordance
with a compliance policy governing personal investing by directors, officers and
employees of ICM and its North American affiliates. The policy requires
officers, inside directors, investment and other personnel of ICM and its North
American affiliates to pre-clear all transactions in securities not otherwise
exempt under the policy. Requests for trading authority will be denied when,
among other reasons, the proposed personal transaction would be contrary to the
provisions of the policy or would be deemed to adversely affect any transaction
then known to be under consideration for or to have been effected on behalf of
any client account including the Funds.
In addition to the pre-clearance requirement described above, the policy
subjects officers, inside directors, investment and other personnel of ICM and
its North American affiliates to various trading restrictions and reporting
obligations. All reportable transactions are reviewed for compliance with the
policy. The provisions of this policy are administered by and subject to
exceptions authorized by ICM.
Under its Investment Advisory Agreement dated as of December 30, 1988 (the
"Agreement") with the Trust, the Adviser will, subject to the supervision of the
Trustees and in conformance with the stated policies of the Trust and of the
Funds, manage the investment operations and portfolios of the Funds. In this
regard, it will be the responsibility of the Adviser not only to make investment
decisions for the Funds, but also to place the purchase and sale orders for the
portfolio transactions of the Funds. (See "Brokerage and Portfolio
Transactions.") The Adviser is also responsible for furnishing to the Trust, at
the Adviser's expense, the services of persons believed to be competent to
perform all executive and other administrative functions required by the Trust
<PAGE>
to conduct its business effectively, as well as the offices, equipment and other
facilities necessary for its operations. Such functions include the maintenance
of the Trust's accounts and records, and the preparations of all requisite
corporate documents such as tax returns and reports to the SEC and shareholders.
Under the Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for the payment of all of
the Funds' expenses, other than payment of advisory fees, taxes, interest and
brokerage commissions, if any. The expenses to be borne by the Adviser include,
without limitation, organizational expenses, compensation of its officers and
employees and expenses of its trustees, legal and auditing expenses, the fees
and expenses of the Funds' custodian and transfer agent, and the expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices to shareholders. For the services to be
rendered and the expenses to be assumed by the Adviser under the Agreement, the
Trust will pay to the Adviser an advisory fee which will be computed daily and
paid as of the last day of each month on the basis of each Fund's daily net
asset value, using for each daily calculation the most recently determined net
asset value of the Funds. (See "Computation of Net Asset Value.") On an annual
basis, the advisory fee paid by each Fund is equal to 0.25% of the average net
asset value of each Fund's net assets.
The Agreement was approved by the shareholders of each Fund on October 11,
1989. The Agreement will continue in effect from year to year provided such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the vote of a
majority of each Fund's outstanding voting securities (as defined in the first
paragraph under "Investment Restrictions" in the Prospectus) or by the Trustees
of the Trust and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who
are not "interested persons" (as such term is defined by the 1940 Act) of the
Trust or the Adviser. The Agreement is terminable on 60 days' written notice by
either party thereto and will terminate automatically if assigned.
The investment advisory services of the Adviser to the Trust are not
exclusive and the Adviser is free to render investment advisory services to
others, including other investment companies.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Trust paid the Adviser an
advisory fee of $393,030, of which $339,497 was allocated to the Money Fund, and

of each of the Funds' net assets. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993,

TAX INFORMATION
FEDERAL TAXES
Each Fund ^ is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax
purposes. In order to continue to qualify for ^ treatment ^ as a regulated
investment company^ ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code as amended (the
"Code"), a Fund must distribute to its shareholders for each taxable year at
least 90% of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally of
taxable net investment income and net short-term capital gain) plus, in the case
of the Tax-Exempt Fund, its net interest income excludable from gross income
under section 103(a) of the Code, and must meet several additional requirements.
With respect to each Fund, these requirements include the following: (1) the
Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from
dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans and gains from
the sale or other disposition of securities, or other income derived with
respect to its business of investing in securities; (2) the Fund must derive
less than 30% of its gross income each taxable year from the sale or other
disposition of securities held for less than three months; (3) at the close of
each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total
assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S. government securities,
securities of other RICs and other securities, with these other securities
limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not exceed 5% of
the value of the Fund's total assets; and (4) at the close of each quarter of
the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may
be invested in securities (other than U.S. government securities (or the
securities of other RICs) of any one issuer. ^
The Tax-Exempt Fund intends to continue to qualify to pay exempt-interest
dividends under ^ section 852(b)(5) of the Code. In order to qualify to pay
exempt-interest dividends in any taxable year, at the close of each quarter of
such taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the total assets of the Fund
must be invested in state, municipal and other obligations the interest on which
is exempt under ^ section 103(a) of the Code. No assurance can be given that the
Tax-Exempt Fund will qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends each year. For
each year that this Fund is qualified to pay exempt-interest dividends, it will
designate any dividends, or portion thereof, being paid as exempt-interest
dividends in a written notice to its shareholders. The proportion of each
<PAGE>
dividend ^ that will be designated as an exempt-interest dividend will be the
same as the proportion of the income from tax-exempt obligations (net of certain
disallowed deductions^), in the taxable year bears to the dividends paid in the
taxable year. Accordingly, with respect to any particular dividend, the portion
designated as an exempt-interest dividend may be substantially different than
the portion of the Tax-Exempt Fund's income ^ that is income from tax-exempt
obligations (net of certain disallowed deductions^) for the period covered by
such dividend. The notice will be mailed approximately thirty (30) days, but no
later than sixty (60) days, after the close of the Tax-Exempt Fund's tax year.
Dividends designated as exempt-interest dividends are excludable from the gross
income of the shareholder under Section 103(a) of the Code.
^ Entities or persons who are "substantial users" (or persons related to
"substantial users") of facilities financed by private activity bonds ^("PABs")
or industrial development bonds ("IDBs") should consult their tax advisers
before purchasing shares of the Tax-Exempt Fund because, for users of certain of
these facilities, the interest on such bonds is not exempt from federal income
tax. For these purposes, the term "substantial user" is defined generally to
include a "non-exempt person" who regularly uses in trade or business a part of
a facility financed from the proceeds of PABs or IDBs.
If the Tax-Exempt Fund invests in any instruments that generate taxable
income, under the circumstances described in the Prospectus, distributions of
the interest earned thereon will be taxable to its shareholders as ordinary
income to the extent of its earnings and profits. Moreover, if that Fund
realizes capital gain as a result of market transactions, any distribution of
that gain will be taxable to its shareholders.
Since the Trust expects, but cannot guarantee, to maintain a constant
$1.00 per share net asset value, upon the redemption of shares of a Fund held by
a non-tax-exempt investor, such investor may realize a capital gain or loss
equal to the difference between the redemption price received by the investor
and the adjusted basis of the shares redeemed. Such capital gain or loss,
generally, will constitute short-term capital gain or loss if the redeemed Fund
shares were held for ^ one year or less, and long-term capital gain or loss if
the redeemed Fund shares were held for more than ^ one year. Any short-term
capital loss realized upon the redemption of shares of the Tax-Exempt Fund
within six months from the date of their purchase will be disallowed to the
extent of any exempt-interest dividends received during such six month period,
although the period may be reduced under Treasury Regulations to be issued.
^ Each Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax to the extent
it fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year substantially all of its
ordinary (taxable) income for that year and capital gain net income for the
one-year period ending on October 31 of that year, plus certain other amounts.
<PAGE>
BROKERAGE AND PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser will arrange for the placement of orders and the execution of
portfolio transactions for each of the Funds. Portfolio securities will be
purchased or sold to parties acting as either principal or agent. Most of the
securities acquired by the Funds normally will be purchased directly from the
issuer or from an underwriter acting as principal. Other purchases will be
placed with those dealers, acting as agents, whom the Adviser believes will
provide the best execution of the transaction at prices most favorable to the
Funds. Usually no brokerage commissions (as such) are paid by the Funds for such
agency transactions, although the price paid usually includes an undisclosed
compensation to the dealer acting as agent. The prices paid to the underwriters
of newly-issued securities normally include a concession paid by the issuer to
the underwriter. Purchases of after-market securities from dealers normally are
executed at a price between bid and asked prices.
Subject to the primary consideration of best execution at prices most
favorable to the Funds, the Adviser may in the allocation of such investment
transaction business consider the general research and investment information
and other services provided by dealers, although it has adopted no formula for
such allocation. These research and investment information services make
available to the Adviser for its analysis and consideration as investment
adviser to the Funds and its other accounts, the views and information of
individuals and research staffs of many securities firms. Although such
information may be a useful supplement to the Adviser's own investment
information, the value of such research and services is not expected to reduce
materially the expenses of the Adviser in the performance of its services under
the Investment Advisory Agreement and will not reduce the advisory fee payable
to the Adviser by the Funds.
The Adviser may follow a policy of considering sales of shares of the
Trust as a factor in the selection of dealers to execute portfolio transactions,
subject to the primary objective of best execution discussed above.
On occasions when the Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to
be in the best interest of the Funds as well as other customers, the Adviser, to
the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may aggregate the
securities to be so purchased or sold for such parties in order to obtain best
execution and lower brokerage commissions. In such event, allocation of the
securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the
transaction, will be made by the Adviser in the manner it considers to be most
equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to all such customers,
including the Funds. In some cases the aggregation of securities to be sold or
purchased could have a detrimental effect on the price of the security insofar
<PAGE>
as each Fund is concerned. However, in other cases, the ability of a Fund
to participate in volume transactions will be beneficial to such Fund.
No brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of the Funds' securities
were incurred for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, 1994^ or 1993 ^.
At December 31, ^ 1995, the Trust's Funds held securities of its regular
brokers or dealers, or their parents, as follows:

CALCULATION OF YIELD
From time to time a Fund may advertise its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. The "yield" of the Fund refers to the income
generated by an investment in the Fund over a seven-day period (which period
will be stated in the advertisement). This income is then "annualized." That is,
the amount of income generated by the investment during that week is assumed to
be generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the
investment. The "effective yield" is calculated similarly but, when annualized,
the income earned by an investment in the Fund is assumed to be reinvested. The
"effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the
compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
Each Fund normally computes its yield by determining for a seven-day base
period the net change, exclusive of capital changes, for a hypothetical
pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the base
period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from shareholder
accounts and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, multiplying the
result by (365/7), with the resulting yield figure carried to at least the
nearest hundredth of one percent. Each Fund may also compute a standardized
effective yield. This is computed by compounding the base period return, which
is done by adding one to the base period return, raising the sum to a power
equal to 365 divided by seven and subtracting one from the result. The yield
paid by the Funds will result in payment of taxable interest to the Fund
shareholders. At December 31, 1995, the Money Reserve Fund's current and
effective yields were 5.64% and 5.80%, respectively; the Tax-Exempt Reserve
Fund's current and effective yields were 4.96% and 5.08%, respectively.

^ 1% of any portfolio's outstanding shares.
NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of each of the Funds is determined daily as
of 11:30 a.m. (New York time), after declaration of the dividend, on each day
that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and at such other times
and/or on such other days as there is sufficient trading in the portfolio
securities of the Fund that might materially affect its net asset value. Net
asset value per share is determined by adding the value of all assets of the
Fund, deducting its actual and accrued liabilities, and dividing by the number
of shares outstanding.
Each Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
There can be no assurance that the Funds will be able to maintain a net asset
value of $1.00 per share. In order to accomplish this goal, each Fund intends to
utilize the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio securities. By using this
method, each Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per
share despite minor shifts in the market value of its portfolio securities.
Under the amortized cost method of valuation, securities are valued at cost on
the date of purchase. Thereafter, the value of the security is increased or
decreased incrementally each day so that at maturity any purchase discount or
premium is fully amortized and the value of the security is equal to its
principal. The amortized cost method may result in periods during which the
amortized cost value of the securities may be higher or lower than their market
value, and the yield on a shareholder's investment may be higher or lower than
that which would be recognized if the net asset value of a Fund's portfolio was
not constant and was permitted to fluctuate with the market value of the
portfolio securities. It is believed that any such differences will normally be
minimal. During periods of declining interest rates, the quoted yield on shares
of each Fund may tend to be higher than a like computation made by a fund with
identical investments utilizing a method of valuation based upon market prices
and estimates of market prices for all of its portfolio instruments. Thus, if
the use of amortized cost by a Fund resulted in a lower aggregate net asset
value on a particular day, a prospective investor in the Fund would be able to
obtain a somewhat higher yield if he or she purchased shares of the Fund on that
day, than would result from investment in a fund utilizing solely market values.
The converse would apply in a period of rising interest rates.
The Trustees of the Trust have undertaken to establish procedures
reasonably designed, taking into account current market conditions and each
Fund's investment objectives, to stabilize, to the extent possible, each Fund's
price per share, as computed for the purposes of sales and redemptions, at
<PAGE>
$1.00. Such procedures include review of each Fund's portfolio holdings by
the Adviser or its agent, at such intervals as it deems appropriate, to
determine whether the Fund's net asset value calculated by using available
market quotations or market equivalents deviates from $1.00 per share based on
amortized cost. If any deviation between the Fund's net asset value based upon
available market quotations or market equivalents and that based upon amortized
cost exceeds 0.5%, the Trustees will promptly consider what action, if any, is
appropriate. The action may include, as appropriate, the sale of portfolio
instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten
the applicable Fund's average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends;
reducing the number of shares outstanding; or utilizing a net asset value per
share determined by using available market quotations.
The net asset value per share of the Funds will normally not be calculated
on days that the New York Stock Exchange is closed. These days include New
Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor
Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
It is possible that in the future, conditions may exist which would, in
the opinion of the Trustees of the Trust, make it undesirable for a Fund to pay
for redeemed shares in cash. In such cases, the Trustees may authorize payment
to be made in portfolio securities or other property of the applicable Fund.
However, the Trust has obligated itself under the 1940 Act to redeem for cash
all shares of a Fund presented for redemption by any one shareholder up to
$250,000 (or 1% of the applicable Fund's net assets if that is less) in any
90-day period. Securities delivered in payment of redemptions are valued at fair
market value as determined in good faith by the Trustees. Shareholders receiving
such securities are likely to incur brokerage costs on their subsequent sales of
such securities.
THE CUSTODIAN
United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A., 928 Grand Avenue, Kansas City,
Missouri 64106, is the custodian of the portfolio securities and cash of the
Funds and maintains certain records on behalf of the Trust and the Funds.
Subject to the Trust's prior approval, the custodian may use the services of
subcustodians for the assets of one or more of the Funds.

ending December 31, 1995, and the report of Price Waterhouse LLP^ with respect
to such financial statements, are incorporated by reference from the Trust's

DECLARATION OF TRUST PROVISIONS
The Declaration of Trust establishing the Trust dated January 27, 1988, a
copy of which, together with all amendments thereto (the "Declaration"), is on
file in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
provides that the name "INVESCO Treasurer's Series Trust" refers to the Trustees
under the Declaration collectively as Trustees, but not as individuals or
personally; and no Trustee, shareholder, officer, employee or agent of the Trust
shall be held to any personal liability; nor shall resort be had to their
private property for the satisfaction of any obligation or claim of the Trust,
but the "Trust Property" only shall be liable.
As a Massachusetts business trust, the Trust is not required to hold
annual shareholder meetings. However, special meetings may be called for
purposes such as electing or removing trustees, changing fundamental policies or
approving an advisory contract. Pursuant to the Declaration, the holders of at
least 10% of the outstanding shares of a Fund may require the Trust to hold a
special meeting of shareholders for any purpose. The Declaration further
provides that any Trustee of the Trust may be removed, with or without cause, at
any meeting of the shareholders of the Trust by a vote of two-thirds of the
outstanding shares of the Trust.

Item 27. Indemnification
Article V of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust provides that the Trust
shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers against all liabilities and
expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection with any action, suit
or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which he may be involved,
except with respect to any matter as to which he shall have acted in bad faith,
willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his duties.
The Trustees have entered into an Indemnification Agreement dated January
27, 1988 with INVESCO Capital Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"), wherein each of
the Trustees agrees to become a trustee of the Trust, and the Adviser agrees to
indemnify each Trustee to the fullest extent permitted by law against all
liability and all expenses reasonably incurred or paid in connection with any
claim, action, suit or proceeding in which the Trustee becomes involved as a
party or otherwise by virtue of being or having been a trustee or officer of the
Trust and against amounts paid or incurred by the Trustee in the settlement
thereof; provided that such indemnification shall apply only to any such
liability, expenses or amounts paid or incurred in settlement in connection with
a claim, action, suit or proceeding which arises during either (i) the term of
the Trustee's service as a trustee of the Trust, or (ii) the four-year period
commencing upon the termination, for whatever reason, of the Trustee's service
as a trustee of the Trust. No indemnification shall be provided to a Trustee
under the Indemnification Agreement for any liability to the Trust, a series of
the Trust, or the shareholders of the Trust by reason of a final adjudication by
a court or other body before which a proceeding was brought that the Trustee
engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the Trustee's office, or with
respect to any matter as to which the Trustee shall have been finally
adjudicated not to have acted in good faith and in responsible belief that the
Trustee's action was in the best interest of the Trust.
The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement dated December 30,
1988 with INVESCO Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") which provides in part that
the Distributor and the Trust will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
other and their respective officers, directors, trustees and controlling persons
(within the meaning of the 1933 Act), from and against any and all such claims,
demands, liabilities and expenses (including cost of investigating or defending
such claims, demands or liabilities, and any attorneys fees incurred in
connection therewith), which such parties may incur under the federal securities
laws, the common law or otherwise.
