      (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

<PAGE>
         front-end sales charge permitted for mutual funds by the National
         Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
      (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
         absorption,  International  Blue Chip Value Fund's  Other  Expenses and
         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:

The section of the Prospectus  entitled "How To Buy Shares - Contingent Deferred
Sales  Charge  (CDSC)" is amended  to (1)  delete the second  paragraph  and (2)
substitute the following in its place:

      You will not pay a CDSC:
        o if you redeem Class C shares you held for more than 13 months;
        o if you redeem shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and
          distributions;
        o on increases in the net asset value of your  shares;
        o if you participate in the periodic withdrawal program and withdraw up
          to 10% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
          12-month period.  The value of your shares, and applicable 12-month
          period, will be calculated  based upon the value of your account on,
          and the date of, the first periodic withdrawal;
        o to pay account fees;
        o for IRA distributions due to death, disability or period distributions
          based on life expectancy;
        o to return excess contributions (and earnings, if applicable) from
          retirement plan accounts; or
        o for redemptions following the death of a shareholder or beneficial
          owner.
