                  Supplement to Prospectus Dated March 1, 1999

The section of the Funds' Prospectus  entitled "Fees And Expenses" is amended to
(1) delete the table following the heading  "Shareholder Fees Paid Directly From
Your Account" and (2) substitute the following in its place:

         Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases
           (as a percentage of offering price)                    None
         Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load)                     None
         Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Reinvested
           Dividends and Other Distributions                      None
         Redemption Fee (as a percentage of amount redeemed)      2.00%*
         Exchange Fee                                             2.00%*
         Maximum Account Fee                                      None

In addition,  the section of the Funds' Prospectus  entitled "Fees And Expenses"
is amended to (1) delete the last footnote and (2)  substitute  the following in
its place:

      * A 2% fee shall be imposed on redemptions or exchanges of shares that
      you have held three months or less.

The section of the Funds' Prospectus  entitled "How to Buy Shares" is amended to
(1) delete the second  sentence of the first  paragraph and (2)  substitute  the
following in its place:

      There is no charge to invest directly  through INVESCO.  However,  upon an
      exchange of shares held three  months or less (other than shares  acquired
      through reinvestment of dividends or other distributions),  a fee of 2% of
      the current net asset value of the shares being exchanged will be assessed
      and retained by the Funds for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.

The section of the Funds' Prospectus  entitled "How to Buy Shares" is amended to
(1) delete the ninth paragraph  (entitled  "Redemption  Fee") and (2) substitute
the following in its place:

      If you exchange  shares of these Funds after  holding them three months or
      less (other than shares  acquired  through  reinvestment  of  dividends or
      other  distributions),  a fee of 2% of the  current net asset value of the
      shares being  exchanged will be assessed and retained by the Funds for the
      benefit of the remaining  shareholders.  This fee is intended to encourage
      long-term  investment in the Fund, to avoid transaction and other expenses
      caused by early redemption,  and to facilitate portfolio  management.  The
      fee is currently waived for institutional,  qualified  retirement plan and

<PAGE>

      other  shareholders  investing  through omnibus  accounts,  due to certain
      economies  associated with these accounts.  However, the Funds reserve the
      right to impose redemption fees on shares held by such shareholders at any
      time if warranted by the Funds' future cost of processing redemptions. The
      redemption fee may be modified or discontinued at any time or from time to
      time. This fee is not a deferred sales charge, is not a commission paid to
      INVESCO,  and does not  benefit  INVESCO  in any way.  The fee  applies to
      redemptions  from the Funds and  exchanges  into any of the other  no-load
      mutual funds which are also advised by INVESCO and distributed by IDI. The
      Funds will use the "first-in,  first-out" method to determine your holding
      period.  Under this method,  the date of  redemption  or exchange  will be
      compared  with the earliest  purchase date of shares held in your account.
      If your holding period is less than three months, the  redemption/exchange
      fee will be assessed on the current net asset value of those shares.

The section of the Funds' Prospectus entitled "How To Sell Shares" is amended to
(1) delete the seventh paragraph (entitled  "Redemption Fee") and (2) substitute
the following in its place:

      If you exchange or redeem  shares of these Funds after  holding them three
      months  or less  (other  than  shares  acquired  through  reinvestment  of
      dividends  or other  distributions),  a fee of 2% of the current net asset
      value of the shares  being  exchanged  or redeemed  will be  assessed  and
      retained by the Funds for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.  This
      fee is intended to encourage  long-term  investment in the Funds, to avoid
      transaction  and  other  expenses  caused  by  early  redemptions,  and to
      facilitate  portfolio   management.   The  fee  is  currently  waived  for
      institutional,  qualified retirement plan and other shareholders investing
      through omnibus accounts,  due to certain economies  associated with these
      accounts.  However,  the Funds reserve the right to impose redemption fees
      on shares held by such shareholders at any time if warranted by the Funds'
      future cost of processing redemptions.  The redemption fee may be modified
      or  discontinued  at any  time or from  time to  time.  This  fee is not a
      deferred sales charge,  is not a commission paid to INVESCO,  and does not
      benefit INVESCO in any way. The fee applies to redemptions  from the Funds
      and exchanges  into any of the other  no-load  mutual funds which are also
      advised  by  INVESCO  and  distributed  by IDI.  The  Funds  will  use the
      "first-in,  first-out" method to determine your holding period. Under this
      method,  the date of  redemption  or exchange  will be  compared  with the
      earliest  purchase  date of shares held in your  account.  If your holding
      period is less than  three  months,  the  redemption/exchange  fee will be
      assessed on the current net asset value of those shares.
