                      Supplement dated November 3, 2000 to
          the Statement of Additional Information dated June 21, 2000

The following information replaces in its entirety the second paragraph
appearing under the heading "SALES CHARGES AND DEALER CONCESSIONS - ALL GROUPS
OF AIM FUNDS" on page 54 of the Statement of Additional Information:

                  "In addition to, or instead of, amounts paid to dealers as a
     sales commission, AIM Distributors may, from time to time, at its expense
     or as an expense for which it may be compensated under a distribution
     plan, if applicable, pay a bonus or other consideration or incentive to
     dealers. At the option of the dealer, such incentives may take the form of
     payment for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred in connection
     with trips taken by qualifying registered representatives and their
     families to places within or outside the United States. The total amount
     of such additional bonus payments or other consideration shall not exceed
     0.25% of the public offering price of the shares sold or of average daily
     net assets of the AIM Fund attributable to that particular dealer. Any
     such bonus or incentive programs will not change the price paid by
     investors for the purchase of the applicable AIM Fund's shares or the
     amount that any particular AIM Fund will receive as proceeds from such
     sales. Dealers may not use sales of the AIM Funds' shares to qualify for
     any incentives to the extent that such incentives may be prohibited by the
     laws of any state."

The following are added as new categories of purchasers who will not pay
initial sales charges on purchases of Class A shares, under the heading
"REDUCTIONS IN INITIAL SALES CHARGES - PURCHASES AT NET ASSET VALUE" on page 57
of the Statement of Additional Information:

         "o       Qualified State Tuition Programs created and maintained in
                  accordance with Section 529 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code
                  of 1986, as amended; and

         o        Participants in select brokerage programs for defined
                  contribution plans and rollover IRAs who purchase shares
                  through an electronic brokerage platform offered by entities
                  with which AIM Distributors has entered into a written
                  agreement."
