                                                            =====

      INTERNATIONAL BLUE CHIP VALUE FUND

                                                            -----
      Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses(2)(3)(4)         2.65%
                                                            =====

      LATIN AMERICAN GROWTH FUND
      Management Fee                                        0.75%
      Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees(1)              0.25%

                                                            =====

      PACIFIC BASIN FUND
      Management Fee                                        0.75%
      Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees(1)              0.25%
      Other Expenses(2)(3)(4)                               1.64%
                                                            -----
      Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses(2)(3)(4)         2.64%
                                                            =====

      (1)Because the Funds pay 12b-1 distribution fees which are based upon each
         Fund's  assets,  if you own shares of a Fund for a long period of time,
         you may pay more than the economic  equivalent of the maximum front-end
         sales charge permitted for mutual funds by the National  Association of
         Securities Dealers, Inc.

<PAGE>

      (2)Each Fund's actual Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses were lower than
         the figures shown,  because their  custodian fees were reduced under an
         expense offset arrangement.
      (3)The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from
         the financials to reflect a change in the  administrative  services and
         transfer agency fees.
      (4)Certain  expenses  of  International  Blue Chip Value,  Latin  American
         Growth and Pacific Basin Funds were absorbed voluntarily by INVESCO and
         the  applicable  sub-adviser  in  order to  ensure  that  expenses  for
         European  Fund,  International  Blue Chip Value  Fund,  Latin  American
         Growth Fund and Pacific  Basin Fund do not exceed  2.00% of each Fund's
         average net assets  pursuant  to  commitments  between  those Funds and
         INVESCO  and/or the applicable  subadviser.  These  commitments  may be
         changed at any time following consultation with the board of directors.
         After absorption,  International  Blue Chip Value Fund's Other Expenses
         and  Total  Annual  Fund  Operating  Expenses  were  1.10%  and  2.10%,
         respectively,  of the Fund's average net assets;  Latin American Growth
         Fund's Other  Expenses and Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses  were
         1.20% and 2.20%,  respectively,  of the Fund's average net assets;  and
         Pacific  Basin  Fund's Other  Expenses and Total Annual Fund  Operating
         Expenses were 1.12% and 2.12%, respectively,  of the Fund's average net
         assets.

The section of the Prospectus  entitled "Fees And Expenses - Example" is amended
to (1) delete the second  paragraph  and (2)  substitute  the  following  in its
place:

      The  Example  assumes  that you  invested  $10,000  in a Fund for the time
      periods  indicated  and  redeemed  all of your  shares  at the end of each
      period.  The Example also assumes that your  investment had a hypothetical
      5% return  each year and that a Fund's  operating  expenses  remained  the
      same. Although the actual costs and performance of a Fund may be higher or
      lower, based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

                                          1 YEAR    3 YEARS   5 YEARS   10 YEARS
      European Fund                       $  165    $   511   $   881   $1,922
      International Blue Chip Value Fund  $  268    $   823   $ 1,405   $2,983
      Latin American Growth Fund          $  376    $ 1,143   $ 1,930   $3,984
      Pacific Basin Fund                  $  267    $   820   $ 1,400   $2,973

The section of the Funds' Prospectus  entitled "How To Buy Shares" is amended to
add the following sentence at the end of the third paragraph:

      If you do not specify a fund or funds,  your  initial  investment  and any
      subsequent purchases will automatically go into INVESCO Cash Reserves Fund
      - Investor Class, a series of INVESCO Money Market Funds, Inc.

This Supplement supercedes the Supplement dated April 1, 2000.

The date of this Supplement is June 1, 2000.

      (1)Because the Funds pay 12b-1 distribution fees which are based upon each

         sales charge permitted for mutual funds by the National  Association of

      (2)Based on estimated  expenses  for the current  fiscal year which may be
         more or less than actual  expenses.  Actual  expenses  are not provided
         because the Funds' Class C shares were not offered  until  February 15,
         2000.  Certain  expenses of the Funds will be absorbed  voluntarily  by
         INVESCO and the applicable sub-adviser in order to ensure that expenses
         for European Fund - Class C, International Blue Chip Value Fund - Class
         C, Latin American  Growth Fund - Class C and Pacific Basin Fund Class C
         do not exceed 2.75% of each Fund's average net assets  attributable  to
         Class C shares pursuant to commitments  between those Funds and INVESCO
         and/or the applicable  subadviser.  These commitments may be changed at
         any time  following  consultation  with the board of  directors.  After

         Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the fiscal year ending October
         31,  2000 are  estimated  to be 1.10% and 2.85%,  respectively,  of the
         Fund's  average  net  assets  attributable  to  Class C  shares;  Latin
         American  Growth Fund's Other  Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating
         Expenses for the fiscal year ending  October 31, 2000 are  estimated to
         be 1.20% and  2.95%,  respectively,  of the Fund's  average  net assets
         attributable to Class C shares; and Pacific Basin Fund's Other Expenses
         and Total  Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses  for the fiscal year ending
         October 31, 2000 are estimated to be 1.12% and 2.87%, respectively,  of
         the Fund's average net assets attributable to Class C shares.

The section of the Prospectus entitled "Fees And Expenses - Examples" is amended
to (1) delete the second  paragraph  and (2)  substitute  the  following  in its
place:

      The Examples assume that you invested  $10,000 in Class C shares of a Fund
      for the time periods indicated.  The first Example assumes that you redeem
      all of your shares at the end of each period.  The second Example  assumes
      you keep your shares. Both Examples also assume that your investment had a
      hypothetical  5%  return  each  year  and that a  Fund's  Class C  shares'
      operating  expenses  remained  the same.  Although  the  actual  costs and
      performance  of a Fund's  Class C shares may be higher or lower,  based on
      these assumptions your costs would have been:
