                INVESCO VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS, INC.
               INVESCO VIF--Small Company Growth Portfolio

               Supplement to Prospectus Dated May 1, 1998

The  section of the above  Portfolio's  Prospectus  entitled  "Risk  Factors" is
amended to add the following paragraph after the fourth paragraph:

            Year 2000 Computer Issue. Due to the fact that many computer systems
      in use today cannot recognize the year 2000, but will,  unless  corrected,
      revert to 1900 or 1980 or cease to function at that time,  the markets for
      securities  in which the Fund  invests  may be  detrimentally  affected by
      computer failures  throughout the financial  services  industry  beginning
      January 1, 2000.  Improperly  functioning  trading  systems  may result in
      settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues.  In addition,  corporate  and
      governmental  data processing  errors may result in production  issues for
      individual  companies  and  overall  economic  uncertainties.  Earnings of
      individual  issuers will be affected by  remediation  costs,  which may be
      substantial. The Fund's investments may be adversely affected.

The section of the above Portfolio's Prospectus entitled "Management" is amended
to (1) delete the tenth paragraph, and (2) substitute the following paragraph in
its place:

            The  Company  also  has  entered  into  an  Administrative  Services
      Agreement   with  IFG  dated   February  28,  1998  (the   "Administrative
      Agreement").  IFG or such other  companies,  including  affiliates of IFG,
      that may have been selected by IFG and approved by the Company's  board of
      directors,  perform certain  administrative,  record-keeping  and internal
      accounting services,  including,  without limitation,  maintaining general
      ledger and  capital  stock  accounts,  preparing  a daily  trial  balance,
      calculating  net asset value  daily,  providing  selected  general  ledger
      reports,  providing certain sub-accounting and record-keeping services for
      shareholder  accounts,  preparation  of  prospectuses,  proxy  statements,
      annual  reports  and  similar  documents  for  existing  contract  owners,
      facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by contract owners and
      other contract owner services and communications.  The Fund reimburses IFG
      for its costs in  providing,  or  assuring  that  Participating  Insurance
      Companies provide, these services in an amount up to $10,000 per year (the
      "Base Fee"),  plus 0.015% of the net assets of the Fund,  plus,  effective
      July 6, 1998,  an  additional  0.25% of the gross new assets (new sales of
      shares,  exchanges into the Fund and reinvestment of dividends and capital
      gain distributions) of the Fund (the "Incremental  Fees"). IFG may pay all
      or a portion of the Base Fee and the  Incremental  Fees to other companies
      that assist in providing the services. IFG also is paid by the Company for
      providing transfer agent services. See "Additional Information."

The section of the above Portfolio's Prospectus entitled "Management" is amended
to add the following paragraph after the tenth paragraph:

            The  management and custodial  services  provided to the Fund by IFG
      and the Fund's custodian, and the services provided to shareholders by IDI
      and IFG,  depend on the continued  functioning of their computer  systems.
      Many computer  systems in use today cannot  recognize  the year 2000,  but
      will revert to 1900 or 1980 or will cease to function due to the manner in

<PAGE>



      which dated were encoded and are  calculated.  That  failure  could have a
      negative impact on the handling of the Fund's securities trades, its share
      pricing and its account  services.  The Fund and its service provider have
      been actively  working on necessary  changes to their computer  systems to
      deal with the year 2000  issue  and  expect  that  their  systems  will be
      adapted  before that date, but there can be no assurance that they will be
      successful. Furthermore, services may be impaired at that time as a result
      of the  interaction of their systems with others'  non-complying  computer
      systems.

The section of the above Portfolio's Prospectus entitled "Management" is amended
to (1) delete the third sentence of the eleventh  paragraph,  and (2) substitute
the following sentence in its place:

            Certain Fund expenses are absorbed  voluntarily by IFG pursuant to a
      commitment to the Company to limit the Fund's  annual  expenses to no more
      than 1.00% of the Fund's  average net assets  prior to July 6, 1998 and to
      no more than 1.25% of the Fund's  average  net  assets  effective  July 6,
      1998.

The date of this Supplement is July 6, 1998.
