Restrictions And Strategies" is amended to (1) delete the section in its
entirety, and (2) substitute the following section in its place:
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS AND STRATEGIES
The Funds operate under certain investment restrictions. For purposes of
the following restrictions, all percentage limitations apply immediately
after a purchase or initial investment. Any subsequent change in a
particular percentage resulting from fluctuations in value does not
require elimination of any security from a Fund.
The following restrictions are fundamental and may not be changed with
respect to a Fund without prior approval of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of that Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund, unless otherwise
indicated, may not:
1. purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, municipal securities or securities issued or
guaranteed by domestic banks, including U.S. branches of foreign banks
and foreign branches of U.S. banks) if, as a result, more than 25% of
the Fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of
companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry;
2. except to the extent permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, or any
successor rule thereto, purchase the securities of any issuer (other
than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of
its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment
companies) if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of the Fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (ii) the
Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
that issuer;
<PAGE>
3. underwrite securities of other issuers, except insofar as it may be
deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, in connection with the disposition of the Fund's portfolio
securities;
4. borrow money, except that the Fund may borrow money in an amount not
exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed)
less liabilities (other than borrowings);
5. issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
6. lend any security or make any loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3%
of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation
does not apply to the purchase of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements;
7. purchase or sell physical commodities; however, this policy shall not
prevent the Fund from purchasing and selling foreign currency, futures
contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars and
other financial instruments; or
8. purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund
from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate
or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).
9. Each Fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company managed by INVESCO Funds Group,
Inc. or an affiliate or a successor thereof, with substantially the
same fundamental investment objective, policies and limitations as the
Fund.
In addition, each Fund has the following non-fundamental policies, which
may be changed without shareholder approval:
A. The Fund may not sell securities short (unless it owns or has the right
to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities
sold short) or purchase securities on margin, except that (i) this
policy does not prevent the Fund from entering into short positions in
foreign currency, futures contracts, options, forward contracts,
swaps, caps, floors, collars and other financial instruments, (ii) the
Fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the
clearance of transactions, and (iii) the Fund may make margin payments
in connection with futures contracts, options, forward contracts,
swaps, caps, floors, collars and other financial instruments.
B. The Fund may borrow money only from a bank or from an open-end
management investment company managed by INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. or
an affiliate or a successor thereof for temporary or emergency purposes
(not for leveraging or investing) or by engaging in reverse repurchase
agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements will be
treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental limitation (4)).
C. The Fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities
that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the
prices at which they are valued.
<PAGE>
D. The Fund may invest in securities issued by other investment companies
to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund's
investment objective and policies and permissible under the 1940 Act.
E. With respect to fundamental limitation (1), domestic and foreign
banking will be considered to be different industries.
In addition, with respect to a Fund that may invest in municipal
obligations, the following non-fundamental policy applies, which may be
changed without shareholder approval:
Each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory
and possession of the United States, each political subdivision, agency,
instrumentality and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of
which a state is a member is a separate "issuer." When the assets and
revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political
subdivision are separate from the government creating the subdivision and
the security is backed only by assets and revenues of the subdivision,
such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the
case of an Industrial Development Bond or Private Activity Bond, if that
bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental
user, then that non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole
issuer.
