Letter to Our Shareholders

March 1, 1995

Dear Shareholder:

              I am pleased to send you this semiannual report on the
              Institutional Shares of the Limited Maturity Treasury Portfolio
  [PHOTO      for the six-month period ended January 31, 1995.
Charles T.            The Institutional Shares closed the period with a total
  Bauer,      return of 1.63 percent, including reinvested dividends of 25.9 
Chairman      cents per share. This compares favorably with the Lipper Short 
 of the       U.S. Treasury Fund Category, the average performance of short-term
Board of      U.S. Treasury mutual funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services,
the Fund]     Inc., an independent mutual fund performance monitor. The Lipper
              Category delivered total return of 1.34 percent during the same
              six months. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends.
        The Fund's SEC 30-day yield as of January 31, 1995, was 7.24 percent.
The SEC 30-day yield calculation reflects the yield to maturity of the
securities in the portfolio, and includes both interest and amortization of any
discount or premium to the face value of the securities. The 30-day
distribution rate as of January 31, 1995, was 5.82 percent. The distribution
rate reflects the fund's most recent monthly dividend distribution multiplied
by 12 and divided by the most recent month-end maximum offering price. Net
assets of the Limited Maturity Treasury Portfolio Institutional Shares were
$121.2 million as of January 31, 1995. The Fund's net asset value was $9.86,
down slightly from $9.96 as of July 31, 1994.
        Given recent volatility in financial markets, it is worth noting that 
the Fund continues to receive the highest possible credit quality rating of AAAf
from Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P) a widely known independent credit
rating agency. S&P ratings are based upon an annual analysis of the Portfolio's
credit quality, composition, and management, and weekly portfolio review.
        The U.S. economy expanded rapidly throughout 1994. Gross Domestic
Product advanced at a 4.6 percent annual rate in the year's fourth quarter. The
Federal Reserve Board has taken the position that economic growth in excess of
2.5 percent is inflationary. Therefore, it continued its restrictive monetary
policy. By January 31, the Federal Funds Rate stood at 5.50 percent, up from
4.25 percent as of July 31, 1994. Rising short-term interest rates considerably
flattened the yield curve as investors anticipated further tightening by the
Fed. Two-year U.S. Treasury notes started the period at 6.00 percent and traded
as high as 7.73 percent. By the end of the reporting period, two-year Treasury
notes were at 7.24 percent, reflecting a calming of investors' fears.
        In January 1995 evidence began to surface that the Fed's policy was
succeeding in slowing the economy. Retail sales advanced only 0.2 percent in
January, building permits fell by 8.6 percent, and the Fed's index of
industrial production rose only 0.4 percent, less than half the gain during
December 1994.
        Despite rising interest rates and resulting market volatility, the Fund
followed its highly disciplined investment strategy, maintaining a laddered
schedule of maturities between 13 and 24 months. Fund management continues to
buy newly auctioned two-year U.S. Treasury Notes and hold them until they have
one year to maturity. Since this leads to a weighted average maturity of 1.5
years, the impact on the portfolio from interest rate fluctuations is often
tempered. Historically, the strategy has served the Fund well. The rolling
12-month net asset value of a Fund share has never deviated more than 1.74
percent.
        It is possible, based on January's economic performance, that the Fed
has succeeded in engineering a "soft landing" to slower growth for the U.S.
economy, but it is still too early to tell. On January 31, the close of this
reporting period, the Fed began a two-day meeting during which most analysts
expected it to increase short-term rates once more. Fund management remains
confident in its use of a laddered schedule of maturities to moderate the 
influence of any forthcoming rate rise.
        As always, we are ready to respond to your questions or comments about
this report. Please call one of our representatives at (800) 659-1005.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Charles T Bauer

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                    January 31, 1995
                    (Unaudited)
 
                    NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                    AIM Investment Securities Funds (the "Trust") is
                    registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
                    as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series
                    management investment company. The Trust is
                    organized as a Delaware business trust consisting of
                    one portfolio, the Limited Maturity Treasury
                    Portfolio (the "Fund"). The Fund currently offers
                    two different classes of shares: the AIM Limited
                    Maturity Treasury Shares (the "AIM Shares") and the
                    Institutional Shares. Matters affecting each class
                    are voted on exclusively by such shareholders.
                      The following is a summary of the significant
                    accounting policies followed by the Fund in the
                    preparation of its financial statements.
 
                    A. Security Valuations--Debt obligations that are
                       issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury are
                       valued on the basis of prices provided by an
                       independent pricing service. Prices provided by
                       the pricing service may be determined without
                       exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may
                       reflect appropriate factors such as yield, type
                       of issue, coupon rate and maturity date.
                       Securities for which market prices are not
                       provided by the pricing service are valued at the
                       mean between last bid and asked prices based upon
                       quotes furnished by independent sources.
                       Securities for which market quotations are not
                       readily available are valued at fair value as
                       determined in good faith by or under the
                       supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner
                       specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees.
                       Securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days
                       or less are valued at amortized cost which
                       approximates market value.
 
                    B. Securities Transactions and Investment
                       Income--Securities transactions are accounted for
                       on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted
                       for amortization of discounts on investments, is
                       earned from settlement date and is recorded on
                       the accrual basis. It is the policy of the Fund
                       not to amortize bond premiums for financial
                       reporting purposes. Interest income is allocated
                       to each class daily, based upon each class'
                       pro-rata share of the total shares of the Fund
                       outstanding. Realized gains and losses from
                       securities transactions are recorded on the
                       identified cost basis.
 
                    C. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders--It
                       is the policy of the Fund to declare daily
                       dividends from net investment income. Such
                       dividends are paid monthly. Net realized
                       short-term capital gains, if any, are distributed
                       quarterly. Net realized long-term capital gains,
                       if any, are distributed annually.
 
                    D. Federal Income Taxes--The Fund intends to comply
                       with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
                       Code necessary to qualify as a regulated
                       investment company and, as such, will not be
                       subject to federal income taxes on otherwise
                       taxable income (including net realized capital
                       gains) which is distributed to shareholders.
                       Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes
                       is recorded in the financial statements.
 
                    E. Expenses--Operating expenses directly
                       attributable to a class of shares are charged to
                       that class' operations. Expenses which are
                       applicable to more than one class, e.g., advisory
                       fees, are allocated between them.

                    NOTE 2-ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH
                    AFFILIATES
 
                    The Trust has entered into a master investment
                    advisory agreement with A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM")
                    with respect to the Fund. Under the terms of the
                    master investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays
                    AIM an advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of
                    the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily
                    net assets plus 0.175% of the Fund's average daily
                    net assets in excess of $500 million. This agreement
                    requires AIM to reduce its fee or, if necessary,
                    make payments to the extent required to satisfy any
                    expense limitations imposed by the securities laws
                    or regulations thereunder of any state in which the
                    Fund shares are qualified for sale.
                      The Fund, pursuant to a master administrative
                    services agreement with AIM, has agreed to reimburse
                    AIM for certain costs incurred in providing
                    accounting and shareholder services to the Fund.
                    During the six months ended January 31, 1995, the
                    Fund reimbursed AIM $47,231 for such services.
                    Effective September 16, 1994, A I M Institutional
                    Fund Services, Inc. ("AIFS") became a transfer agent
                    to the Fund and was reimbursed $617 for such
                    services during the period ended January 31, 1995.
                    Effective November 1, 1994, A I M Fund Services,
                    Inc. ("AFS") became the transfer agent for the AIM
                    Shares and was paid $15,383 for such services for
                    the three months ended January 31, 1995.
                      The Trust has entered into a master distribution
                    agreement with A I M Distributors, Inc. ("AIM
                    Distributors") to serve as the distributor for the
                    AIM Shares and a master distribution agreement with
                    Fund Management Company ("FMC") to serve as the
                    distributor for the Institutional Shares. The Trust
                    has adopted a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
                    1940 Act (the "Plan") with respect to the AIM
                    Shares. The Fund pays AIM Distributors compensation
                    at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average net assets
                    attributable to the AIM Shares. The Plan is designed
                    to compensate AIM Distributors for certain
                    promotional and other sales related costs, and to
                    implement a program which provides periodic payments
                    to selected dealers and financial institutions who
                    furnish continuing personal shareholder services to
                    their customers who purchase and own AIM Shares of
                    the Fund. Any amounts not paid as a service fee
                    under such Plan would constitute an asset-based
                    sales charge. The Plan also imposes a cap on the
                    total amount of sales charges, including asset-based
                    sales charges, that may be paid by the Fund. During
                    the six months ended January 31, 1995, the AIM
                    Shares paid AIM Distributors $221,572 as
                    compensation under the Plan.
                      AIM Distributors received commissions of $30,277
                    during the six months ended January 31, 1995 from
                    sales of AIM Shares. Such commissions are not an
                    expense of the Fund. They are deducted from, and are
                    not included in, proceeds from sales of shares.
                    Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are
                    officers and directors of AIM, AIM Distributors,
                    FMC, AFS and AIFS.
                      During the six months ended January 31, 1995, the
                    Fund paid legal fees of $2,245 for services rendered
                    by Reid & Priest as counsel to the Board of
                    Trustees. In September 1994, the firm Kramer, Levin,
                    Naftalis, Nessen, Kamin & Frankel was appointed as
                    counsel to the Board of Trustees. The Fund paid
                    legal fees of $650 for services rendered by that
                    firm as counsel. A member of that firm is a trustee
                    of the Trust.
