[KEY ICON] INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES
 
FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND MARKET OUTLOOK, 
PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

     INVESCO Funds Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO") is the  investment  adviser for the
     Fund.  Together with our affiliated  companies,  we at INVESCO  control all
     aspects of the management of the Fund.

     The Fund is used solely as an  investment  vehicle for variable  annuity or
     variable  life  insurance   contracts  issued  by  certain  life  insurance
     companies.  You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. As an owner of
     a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract that offers the Fund
     as an investment option,  however, you may allocate your contract values to
     a separate  account of the insurance  company that invests in shares of the
     Fund.

     Your  variable  annuity or  variable  life  insurance  contract  is offered
     through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
     including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
     to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
     issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
     prospectus for your contract.
   
     The Fund tries to buy securities  that will increase in value over the long
     term; current income is a secondary goal.
    
   
     The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of large companies with market
     capitalizations  of more than $10 billion that have a history of consistent
     earnings growth  regardless of the business  cycle.  In addition,  the Fund
     tries to identify  companies  that have - or are expected to have - growing
     earnings,  revenues and strong cash flows. The Fund also examines a variety
     of  industries  and  businesses,  and seeks to purchase the  securities  of
     companies that we believe are best situated in their  industry  categories.
     We also  consider  the  dividend  payment  record  of the  companies  whose
     securities  the Fund  buys.  The Fund also may invest in  preferred  stocks
     (which  generally  pay  higher  dividends  than  common  stocks)  and  debt
     instruments  that  are  convertible  into  common  stocks,  as  well  as in
     securities of foreign  companies.  In recent years,  the core of the Fund's
     investments has been  concentrated in the securities of three or four dozen
     large, high quality companies.  Although the Fund is subject to a number of
     risks that could affect its performance,  its principal risk is market risk
     - that is, that the price of the  securities in its portfolio will rise and
     fall  due to  price  movements  in the  securities  markets,  and  that the
     securities held in the Fund's  portfolio may decline in value more than the
     overall securities markets.
    

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE
   
     The bar chart  below  shows the  Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  ended
     December 31 (commonly  known as its "total  return") since  inception.  The
     table below shows average annual returns for various periods ended December
     31, 1998 for the Fund compared to the S&P 500 Index. The information in the
     chart and table  illustrates  the variability of the Fund's returns and how
     its performance compared to a broad measure of market performance.  The bar
     chart  provides  some  indication  of the risks of investing in the Fund by
     showing changes in the year to year performance of the Fund. Remember, past
     performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.(1)
    
<PAGE>
     The  Fund's  returns  are  net of its  expenses,  but  do not  reflect  the
     additional  fees and  expenses of your  variable  annuity or variable  life
     insurance contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included,  the
     returns would be less than those shown.

 (1)The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index that shows  performance of the broad
    U.S.  stock  market.  Please  keep in  mind  that  the  index  does  not pay
    brokerage,  management or administrative  expenses, all of which are paid by
    the Fund and are reflected in its annual return.
 (2)Total  return  figures  include   reinvested   dividends  and  capital  gain
    distributions, and include the effect of the Fund's expenses.
    

FEES AND EXPENSES

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS
   
VIF - BLUE CHIP GROWTH FUND
Management Fees                                   0.85%
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees             None
Other Expenses (1)(2)(3)                          11.44%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (1)(2)(3)    12.29%
                           
    

     (1)Certain  expenses of the Fund are being absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO
        pursuant  to a  commitment  to the Fund.  After  absorption,  the Fund's
        "Other  Expenses" and "Total Annual Fund Operating  Expenses" were 0.72%
        and  1.57%,  respectively.  This  commitment  may be changed at any time
        following consultation with the board of directors.
   
     (2)The Fund's  actual  "Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were lower
        than the figures shown, because its custodian fees were reduced under an
        expense offset arrangement.  Because of an SEC requirement,  the figures
        do not reflect these reductions.

     (3)The  expense  information  presented  in the table has been  restated to
        reflect a change in the administrative fee.
    
     EXAMPLE
   
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower,  based on these  assumptions  your costs would have
     been:
    
<PAGE>
   
     The following reflects the costs without the absorption of expenses:(1)
                                   1 year    3 years   5 years  10 years
                                   $1,184    $3,300    $5,118   $8,624
     
     (1)The following reflects the costs with the absorption of expenses:
        1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
        $160       $496      $855     $1,867
    

[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

     BEFORE  ALLOCATING  CONTRACT  VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD  DETERMINE THE
     LEVEL OF RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE  COMFORTABLE.  TAKE INTO  ACCOUNT  FACTORS
     LIKE YOUR AGE, CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.
   
     You  should  determine  the  level of risk with  which you are  comfortable
     before you allocate contract values to the Fund. The principal risks of any
     mutual fund, including the Fund, are:
    
     NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation ("FDIC") or any other agency,  unlike bank deposits such as CDs
     or savings  accounts.  No Guarantee.  No mutual fund can guarantee  that it
     will meet its investment objectives.

     POSSIBLE  LOSS  OF   INVESTMENT.   A  mutual  fund  cannot   guarantee  its
     performance,  nor assure you that the market value of your  investment will
     increase.  You may  lose  the  money  you  invest,  and the  Fund  will not
     reimburse you for any of these losses.

     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with changes
     in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.

     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.


[ARROW ICON] RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR INVESTMENTS

     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the  policies
     discussed  below in  determining  the  appropriateness  of allocating  your
     contract  values to the Fund.  See the Statement of Additional  Information
     for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  INVESCO  will monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices  vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of the
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.
<PAGE>
     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.
   
     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK
     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
          CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S.  dollars and
          a foreign currency may reduce the value of the Fund's  investment in a
          security  valued in the foreign  currency,  or based on that  currency
          value.

          POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result in
          unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
          REGULATORY  RISK.  Government  regulations  may  affect the value of a
          security.  In  foreign  countries,  securities  markets  that are less
          regulated than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that are
          not allowed in the U.S.

          DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and
          a foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.

          EUROPEAN  ECONOMIC  AND MONETARY  UNION.  Austria,  Belgium,  Finland,
          France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal
          and Spain are presently  members of the European Economic and Monetary
          Union (the  "EMU")  which as of January 1, 1999  adopted the euro as a
          common currency. The national currencies will be sub-currencies of the
          euro  until  July 1,  2002,  at  which  time the old  currencies  will
          disappear entirely. Other European countries may adopt the euro in the
          future.
    
          The introduction of the euro presents some  uncertainties and possible
          risks,  which could  adversely  affect the value of securities held by
          the Fund.

          EMU  countries,  as a single  market,  may  affect  future  investment
          decisions  of the  Fund.  As the  euro is  implemented,  there  may be
          changes  in the  relative  strength  and value of the U.S.  dollar and
          other major currencies,  as well as possible adverse tax consequences.
          The euro transition by EMU countries - present and future - may affect
          the fiscal and monetary levels of those participating countries. There
          may be increased  levels of price  competition  among  business  firms
          within  EMU  countries  and  between  businesses  in EMU  and  non-EMU
          countries. The outcome of these uncertainties could have unpredictable
          effects on trade and commerce and result in increased  volatility  for
          all financial markets.

     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
<PAGE>
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
     DERIVATIVE RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are common  types of  derivatives  that the Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other instrument, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  instrument,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction with the Fund.

     LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
     Timely  information  about a security  or its  issuer  may be  unavailable,
     incomplete or inaccurate.  This risk is more common to securities issued by
     foreign  companies  and  companies  in emerging  markets  than it is to the
     securities of U.S.-based companies.
   
     The Fund generally  invests in common stocks of large companies with market
     capitalizations  of more than $10 billion that have a history of consistent
     earnings  growth  regardless of business  cycle.  However,  in an effort to
     diversify  its  holdings and provide  some  protection  against the risk of
     other  investments,  the Fund also may invest in other types of  securities
     and other  financial  instruments,  as indicated in the chart below.  These
     investments,  which at any given time may constitute a significant  portion
     of the Fund's portfolio, have their own risks.

[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

     When  securities   markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT
                                                           
     INVESCO IS A  SUBSIDIARY  OF  AMVESCAP  PLC,  AN  INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT
     MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT MANAGES MORE THAN $275 BILLION IN ASSETS WORLDWIDE.
     AMVESCAP IS BASED IN LONDON,  WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE,  NORTH
     AND SOUTH AMERICA, AND THE FAR EAST.
    
     THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
     INVESCO,  located  at 7800 East  Union  Avenue,  Denver,  Colorado,  is the
     investment  adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO  was  founded in 1932 and manages
     over $21.2 billion for 900,000  shareholders  of 51 mutual  funds.  INVESCO
     performs  a wide  variety  of  other  services  for  the  Funds,  including
     administration  and transfer agency functions (the processing of purchases,
     sales and exchanges of Fund shares).  A wholly owned subsidiary of INVESCO,
     INVESCO  Distributors,  Inc.  ("IDI"),  is the  Fund's  distributor  and is
     responsible  for  the  sale  of the  Fund's  shares.  
    
<PAGE>
     INVESCO  and  IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.

     The Fund paid 0.85% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
     advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.


[INVESCO ICON] THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
   
     The following  individuals  are primarily  responsible  for the  day-to-day
     management of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

     TRENT E.  MAY is a  Chartered  Financial  Analyst  and the  lead  portfolio
     manager of the Fund who joined INVESCO in 1996. He is also a Vice President
     of INVESCO. Before joining us, Trent was with Munder Capital Management and
     SunBank Capital  Management.  He holds an M.B.A. from Rollins College and a
     B.S. in Engineering from Florida Institute of Technology.

     DOUGLAS J. MCELDOWNEY is a Chartered Financial Analyst and Certified Public
     Accountant who has been the co-portfolio  manager of the Fund since joining
     INVESCO in April 1999.  Before  joining us, he was a senior vice  president
     and portfolio manager with Bank of America Investment Management,  Inc. and
     an investment  officer and portfolio  manager with SunTrust Banks,  Inc. He
     holds an M.B.A.  in Finance  from the  Crummer  Graduate  School at Rollins
     College and a B.B.A. in Finance from the University of Kentucky.

     Trent May and Doug  McEldowney  are two members of the INVESCO Growth Team,
     which is led by Timothy J. Miller.
    

[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE
   
CURRENT  MARKET  VALUE OF FUND ASSETS 
+ ACCRUED  INTEREST  AND  DIVIDENDS 
- - FUND DEBTS,
INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV).

     The value of Fund shares is likely to change daily.  This value is known as
     the Net Asset Value per share, or NAV. INVESCO  determines the market value
     of each investment in the Fund's portfolio each day that the New York Stock
     Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the  close  of  trading  on that  exchange
     (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time). Therefore,  shares of the Fund are not
     priced on days when the NYSE is closed,  which,  generally,  is on weekends
     and national holidays in the U.S.
    
     NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
     Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
     dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
     dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
     shares.

     In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
     securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
     and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
     Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
     exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
     Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO  would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares on
     that day),  even  though  activity  on foreign  exchanges  could  result in
     changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.
<PAGE>
[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

     The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
     the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
     investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
     Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

     Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
     one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
     consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
     federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
     for your contract.


[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

     NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME AND NET REALIZED  CAPITAL GAINS ARE  DISTRIBUTED TO
     SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

     The Fund  intends to  distribute  substantially  all of its net  investment
     income,  if any, in dividends to its shareholders.  For dividend  purposes,
     net investment  income  consists of all dividends or interest earned by the
     Fund's investments, minus the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee).
     All of the Fund's net  realized  capital  gains,  if any,  are  distributed
     periodically,   no  less  frequently  than  annually.   All  dividends  and
     distributions  of the Fund are reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund
     at net asset value.

[INVESCO ICON] VOTING RIGHTS

     Since the shares of the Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by
     you directly,  you will not vote shares of the Fund. Your insurance company
     will vote the shares that it holds as  required  by state and federal  law.
     Your  contract  prospectus  contains  more  information  on your  rights to
     instruct your insurance  company how to vote Fund shares held in connection
     with your contract.

[KEY ICON] INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES
 
     FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT  INVESTMENTS  AND MARKET OUTLOOK,
     PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

     INVESCO Funds Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO") is the  investment  adviser for the
     Fund.  Together with our affiliated  companies,  we at INVESCO  control all
     aspects of the management of the Fund.

     The Fund is used solely as an  investment  vehicle for variable  annuity or
     variable  life  insurance   contracts  issued  by  certain  life  insurance
     companies.  You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. As an owner of
     a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract that offers the Fund
     as an investment option,  however, you may allocate your contract values to
     a separate  account of the insurance  company that invests in shares of the
     Fund. 

     Your variable annuity or variable life insurance  contract is offered
     through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
     including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
     to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
     issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
     prospectus for your contract.
   
     The Fund tries to buy securities  that will increase in value over the long
     term.  It is  aggressively  managed.  Because its  strategy  includes  many
     short-term  factors  --  including  current  information  about a  company,
     investor  interest,  price movements of a company's  securities and general
     market and monetary  conditions -- securities in its portfolio  usually are
     bought and sold relatively frequently.

     The Fund  invests  in a  variety  of  securities  that we  believe  present
     opportunities  for capital  growth -- primarily  common stocks of companies
     traded on U.S. securities exchanges, as well as over-the-counter.  The Fund
     also may invest in preferred  stocks (which  generally pay higher dividends
     than common stocks) and debt  instruments  that are convertible into common
     stocks, as well as in securities of foreign companies.

     Because  these  companies  are  comparatively  small,  the  prices of their
     securities tend to move up and down more rapidly than the securities prices
     of larger, more established companies.  Therefore, the price of Fund shares
     tends  to  fluctuate  more  than  it  would  if the  Fund  invested  in the
     securities of larger companies.
    
     The Fund uses a BOTTOM UP approach,  with  selections  based on  individual
     security analysis.  In general, the Fund's portfolio contains securities of
     companies in industries that are growing globally.  The Fund usually avoids
     stocks of companies  in  cyclical,  mature or  slow-growing  industries  or
     economic  sectors.  The Fund seeks to invest in stocks of leading companies
     in  attractive  markets  or  industries,  or  emerging  leaders  that  have
     developed a new competitive advantage. Healthy returns and strong cash flow
     are also significant factors in the selection of the Fund's stocks. Another
     important  consideration  in the  structure  of  the  Fund's  portfolio  is
     diversification of the Fund's holdings by industry and by economic sector.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE
   
     The bar chart  below  shows the  Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  ended
     December 31 (commonly  known as its "total  return") since  inception.  The
     table below shows average annual returns for various periods ended December
     31,  1998  for  the  Fund  compared  to the S&P  Mid  Cap  400  Index.  The
     information  in the chart  and table  illustrates  the  variability  of the
     Fund's  returns  and how its  performance  compared  to a broad  measure of
     market performance.  The bar chart provides some indication of the risks of
     investing in the Fund by showing changes in the year to year performance of
     the Fund.  Remember,  past  performance does not indicate how the Fund will
     perform in the future.(1)
    
     The  Fund's  returns  are  net of its  expenses,  but  do not  reflect  the
     additional  fees and  expenses of your  variable  annuity or variable  life
     insurance contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included,  the
     returns would be less than those shown.

    (1)Certain expenses of the Fund are being absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO
       pursuant to a commitment to the Fund. After absorption, the Fund's "Other
       Expenses"  and "Total  Annual  Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were 0.85% and
       1.45%, respectively. This commitment may be changed at any time following
       consultation with the board of directors.
   
    (2)The fund's  actual "Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were lower
       than the figures shown,  because its custodian fees were reduced under an
       expense offset  arrangement.  Because of an SEC requirement,  the figures
       shown do not reflect those reductions.

    (3)The expense  information  presented  in the table has been  restated to
       reflect a change in the administrative fee.

     EXAMPLE
   
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower,  based on these  assumptions  your costs would have
     been:

     The following reflects the costs without the absorption of expenses:(1)
                                  1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
                                  $1,426     $3,864    $5,838   $9,283

[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

     BEFORE  ALLOCATING  CONTRACT  VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD  DETERMINE THE
     LEVEL OF RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE  COMFORTABLE.  TAKE INTO  ACCOUNT  FACTORS
     LIKE YOUR AGE, CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.
   
     You  should  determine  the  level of risk with  which you are  comfortable
     before you allocate contract values to the Fund. The principal risks of any
     mutual fund, including the Fund, are:
    
     NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation ("FDIC") or any other agency,  unlike bank deposits such as CDs
     or savings accounts.
     
     NO GUARANTEE. No mutual fund can guarantee that it will meet its investment
     objectives.

     POSSIBLE  LOSS  OF  INVESTMENT.   A  mutual  fund  cannot   guarantee  its
     performance,  nor assure you that the market value of your  investment will
     increase.  You may  lose  the  money  you  invest,  and the  Fund  will not
     reimburse you for any of these losses.

     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with changes
     in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.

     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.
<PAGE>
[ARROW ICON] RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR INVESTMENTS

     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the  policies
     discussed  below in  determining  the  appropriateness  of allocating  your
     contract  values to the Fund.  See the Statement of Additional  Information
     for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  INVESCO  will monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices  vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of the
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.

     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.
   
     DEBT SECURITIES RISK
     Debt  securities  include bonds,  notes and other  securities that give the
     holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,  or both
     on a date in the  future  or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also are  often
     referred to as fixed income securities, even if the rate of interest varies
     over the life of the security.

     Debt  securities  are  generally  subject to credit  risk and market  risk.
     Credit  risk is the risk that the issuer of the  security  may be unable to
     meet interest or principal  payments or both as they come due.  Market risk
     is the risk that the market value of the security may decline for a variety
     of reasons,  including  changes in interest  rates. An increase in interest
     rates  tends to reduce the market  values of debt  securities  in which the
     Fund  invests.  A decline in interest  rates  tends to increase  the market
     values of debt securities in which the Fund invests.

     Moody's  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")  ratings  provide a useful but not
     certain  guide to the credit  risk of many debt  securities.  The lower the
     rating of a debt  security,  the greater the credit risk the rating service
     assigns to the security. To compensate investors for accepting that greater
     risk,   lower-rated   securities  tend  to  offer  higher  interest  rates.
     Lower-rated  debt  securities are often referred to as "junk bonds." A debt
     security is considered  lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by Moody's or
     BB or less by S&P and is usually considered to be speculative.

     In addition to poor individual company performance in the marketplace or in
     its internal  management,  a significant  economic  downturn or increase in
     interest rates may cause issuers of debt securities to experience increased
     financial  problems  which could hurt their  ability to pay  principal  and
     interest  obligations,  to meet  projected  business  goals,  and to obtain
     additional  financing.  These  conditions  more severely  impact issuers of
     lower-rated  debt  securities.  The market for lower  rated  straight  debt
     securities  may not be as liquid as the market for  higher  rated  straight
     debt  securities.  Therefore,  INVESCO attempts to limit purchases of lower
     rated securities to securities having an established secondary market.

     Debt securities rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks
     of non-payment of principal or interest. Lower rated securities by Standard
     & Poor's  (categories  BB, B, CCC)  include  those which are  predominantly
     speculative  because of the issuer's perceived capacity to pay interest and
     repay  principal in  accordance  with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest
     degree of  speculation  and CCC a high  degree of  speculation.  While such
     bonds will likely have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
     are usually  outweighed by large  uncertainties  or major risk exposures to
     adverse conditions.
    
<PAGE>
   
     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK
     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
         CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S.  dollars and
         a foreign currency may reduce the value of the Fund's  investment in a
         security  valued in the foreign  currency,  or based on that  currency
         value.

         POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result in
         unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
         REGULATORY  RISK.  Government  regulations  may  affect the value of a
         security.  In  foreign  countries,  securities  markets  that are less
         regulated than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that are
         not allowed in the U.S.

         DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and
         a foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.

         EUROPEAN  ECONOMIC  AND  MONETARY  UNION.  Austria,  Belgium,  Finland,
         France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands,  Portugal
         and Spain are presently  members of the European  Economic and Monetary
         Union (the  "EMU")  which as of January 1, 1999  adopted  the euro as a
         common currency.  The national currencies will be sub-currencies of the
         euro  until  July 1,  2002,  at  which  time  the old  currencies  will
         disappear entirely.  Other European countries may adopt the euro in the
         future.
    
         The introduction of the euro presents some  uncertainties  and possible
         risks, which could adversely affect the value of securities held by the
         Fund.

         EMU  countries,  as a  single  market,  may  affect  future  investment
         decisions of the Fund. As the euro is implemented, there may be changes
         in the relative  strength and value of the U.S.  dollar and other major
         currencies,  as well as  possible  adverse tax  consequences.  The euro
         transition  by EMU  countries  - present  and  future - may  affect the
         fiscal and monetary levels of those participating countries.  There may
         be increased  levels of price  competition  among business firms within
         EMU countries and between businesses in EMU and non-EMU countries.  The
         outcome  of these  uncertainties  could have  unpredictable  effects on
         trade and commerce and result in increased volatility for all financial
         markets.

     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
<PAGE>
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
     DERIVATIVES RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are common  types of  derivatives  that the Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other instrument, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  instrument,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction with the Fund.

     LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
     Timely  information  about a security  or its  issuer  may be  unavailable,
     incomplete or inaccurate.  This risk is more common to securities issued by
     foreign  companies  and  companies  in emerging  markets  than it is to the
     securities of U.S.-based companies.
   
     The Fund  generally  invests in common  stocks of companies  traded on U.S.
     securities exchanges, as well as over-the-counter. However, in an effort to
     diversify  its  holdings and provide  some  protection  against the risk of
     other  investments,  the Fund also may invest in other types of  securities
     and other  financial  instruments,  as indicated in the chart below.  These
     investments,  which at any given time may constitute a significant  portion
     of the Fund's portfolio, have their own risk.

[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

     When  securities   markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT
                       
     INVESCO IS A  SUBSIDIARY  OF  AMVESCAP  PLC,  AN  INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT
     MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT MANAGES MORE THAN $275 BILLION IN ASSETS WORLDWIDE.
     AMVESCAP IS BASED IN LONDON,  WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE,  NORTH
     AND SOUTH AMERICA, AND THE FAR EAST.
    
     THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
     INVESCO,  located  at 7800 East  Union  Avenue,  Denver,  Colorado,  is the
     investment  adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO  was  founded in 1932 and manages
     over $21.2 billion for more than 900,000  shareholders of 51 INVESCO mutual
     funds.  INVESCO  performs a wide  variety of other  services for the Funds,
     including  administration  and transfer agency functions (the processing of
     purchases,  sales and exchanges of Fund shares).  A wholly owned subsidiary
     of INVESCO,  INVESCO Distributors,  Inc. ("IDI"), is the Fund's distributor
     and is responsible for the sale of the Fund's shares.
    
     INVESCO and IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.

     The Fund paid 0.60% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
     advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.


[INVESCO ICON] THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
   
     The following  individuals  are primarily  responsible  for the  day-to-day
     management of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

     TIMOTHY J. MILLER is the lead portfolio manager of the Fund and a Chartered
     Financial  Analyst.  He is also a director  and senior  vice  president  of
     INVESCO,  where  he  has  had  progressively  more  responsible  investment
     professional  positions  since joining the company in 1992.  Before joining
     INVESCO,  Tim was a portfolio manager with Mississippi Valley Advisors.  He
     holds an M.B.A. from the University of Missouri -St.
     Louis and a B.S.B.A. from St. Louis University.

     TOM WALD is the co-portfolio  manager of the Fund and a Chartered Financial
     Analyst who joined INVESCO in 1997. He is also a Vice President of INVESCO.
     Before  joining us, he was employed by Munder  Capital  Management,  Duff &
     Phelps and Prudential  Investment Corp. He holds an M.B.A. from the Wharton
     School at the University of Pennsylvania and a B.A. from Tulane University.

     Tim Miller and Tom Wald are two members of the INVESCO  Growth Team,  which
     is led by Timothy J. Miller.
    

[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE
   
CURRENT MARKET VALUE OF FUND ASSETS 
+ ACCRUED INTEREST & DIVIDENDS 
- - FUND DEBTS,
INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV)
    
<PAGE>
   
     The value of Fund shares is likely to change daily.  This value is known as
     the Net Asset Value per share, or NAV. INVESCO  determines the market value
     of each investment in the Fund's portfolio each day that the New York Stock
     Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the  close  of  trading  on that  exchange
     (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time). Therefore,  shares of the Fund are not
     priced on days when the NYSE is closed,  which,  generally,  is on weekends
     and national holidays in the U.S.
    
     NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
     Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
     dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
     dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
     shares.

     In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
     securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
     and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
     Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
     exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
     Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO  would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares on
     that day),  even  though  activity  on foreign  exchanges  could  result in
     changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

     The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
     the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
     investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
     Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

     Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
     one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
     consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
     federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
     for your contract.

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

     NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME AND NET REALIZED  CAPITAL GAINS ARE  DISTRIBUTED TO
     SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

     The Fund  intends to  distribute  substantially  all of its net  investment
     income,  if any, in dividends to its shareholders.  For dividend  purposes,
     net investment  income  consists of all dividends or interest earned by the
     Fund's investments, minus the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee).
     All of the Fund's net  realized  capital  gains,  if any,  are  distributed
     periodically,   no  less  frequently  than  annually.   All  dividends  and
     distributions  of the Fund are reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund
     at net asset value.

[INVESCO ICON] VOTING RIGHTS

[KEY ICON] INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES
 
FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND MARKET OUTLOOK, 
PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

     INVESCO Funds Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO") is the  investment  adviser for the
     Fund.  Together with our affiliated  companies,  we at INVESCO  control all
     aspects of the management of the Fund.

     The Fund is used solely as an investment  vehicle for variable annuity
     or variable  life  insurance  contracts  issued by certain  life  insurance
     companies.  You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. As an owner of
     a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract that offers the Fund
     as an investment option,  however, you may allocate your contract values to
     a separate  account of the insurance  company that invests in shares of the
     Fund. 

     Your variable annuity or variable life insurance  contract is offered
     through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
     including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
     to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
     issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
     prospectus for your contract.

     The Fund invests in equity and debt securities.  Historically,  when
     stock markets are up, debt markets are down,  and vice versa.  By investing
     in both types of  securities,  the Fund  attempts to cushion  against sharp
     price movements in both equity and debt securities. The Fund's primary goal
     is high current income, with growth of capital as a secondary objective.

     The Fund  normally  invests at least 65% of its  assets in  dividend-paying
     common and preferred  stocks,  although in recent years that percentage has
     been  somewhat  higher.  Stocks held by the Fund  generally are expected to
     produce a relatively high level of income and a consistent,  stable return.
     Although it focuses on the stocks of larger  companies with a strong record
     of paying  dividends,  the Fund also may invest in companies  that have not
     paid regular dividends. The Fund's equity investments are limited to stocks
     that can be traded easily in the United States; it may, however,  invest in
     foreign securities in the form of American Depository Receipts (ADRs).

     The rest of the Fund's  assets are invested in debt  securities,  generally
     corporate bonds that are rated  investment  grade or better.  The Fund also
     may invest up to 15% of its assets in lower-grade debt securities  commonly
     known as "junk bonds", which generally offer higher interest rates, but are
     riskier investments than investment grade securities.
   
     Because the Fund invests  primarily in the securities of larger  companies,
     the Fund's  price  share  tends to rise and fall with the up and down price
     movements of larger company  stocks.  Due to its investment  strategy,  the
     Fund's portfolio includes relatively few smaller companies,  which may be a
     disadvantage if smaller companies outperform the broad market.

[GRAPH ICON]FUND PERFORMANCE
   
     The bar chart  below  shows the  Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  ended
     December 31 (commonly  known as its "total  return") since  inception.  The
     table below shows average annual returns for various periods ended December
     31,  1998  for  the  Fund  compared  to the S&P 500  Index  and the  Lehman
     Government/Corporate  Bond Index.  The  information  in the chart and table
     illustrates  the  variability of the Fund's returns and how its performance
     compared to a broad measure of market  performance.  The bar chart provides
     some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in
     the year to year performance of the Fund.  Remember,  past performance does
     not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.(1)
    
     The  Fund's  returns  are  net of its  expenses,  but  do not  reflect  the
     additional  fees and  expenses of your  variable  annuity or variable  life
     insurance contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included,  the
     returns would be less than those shown.

      Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index(1)     9.47%         8.90%      
    
   
  (1)The S&P 500 Index is an  unmanaged  index  that shows  performance  of the
     broad U.S. stock market. The Lehman  Government/Corporate Bond Index is an
     unmanaged  index  that  shows the  performance  of the broad  fixed-income
     market.  Please  keep in  mind  that  the  indexes  do not pay  brokerage,
     management or administrative  expenses,  all of which are paid by the Fund
     and are reflected in its annual return.

  (2)Total  return  figures  include  reinvested  dividends  and  capital  gain
     distributions, and include the effect of the Fund's expenses.

  (1)Certain expenses of the Fund are being absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO
     pursuant to a commitment to the Fund. After  absorption,  the Fund's "Other
     Expenses" and "Total Annual Fund Operating  Expenses" were 0.18% and 0.93%,
     respectively.  This  commitment  may  be  changed  at  any  time  following
     consultation with the board of directors.
    
<PAGE>
   
  (2)The Fund's  actual "Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were lower
     than the figures  shown,  because its custodian  fees were reduced under an
     expense  offset  arrangement.  Because of an SEC  requirement,  the figures
     shown do not reflect these reductions.

  (3)The expense  information  presented  in the table has been  restated to
     reflect a change in the administrative fee.
    

     EXAMPLE
   
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower,  based on these  assumptions  your costs would have
     been:

     The following reflects the costs without the absorption of expenses:(1)

                                  1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
                                  $119       $372      $644     $1,420

  (1)The following reflects the costs with the absorption of expenses:

     1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
     $95        $296      $515     $1,143
    

[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS
   
     BEFORE  ALLOCATING  CONTRACT VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD  DETERMINE
     THE LEVEL OF RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE COMFORTABLE. TAKE INTO ACCOUNT FACTORS
     LIKE YOUR AGE, CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.
    
     You  should  determine  the  level of risk with  which you are  comfortable
     before you allocate contract values to the Fund. The principal risks of any
     mutual fund, including the Fund, are:

     NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation ("FDIC") or any other agency,  unlike bank deposits such as CDs
     or savings  accounts.  

     NO GUARANTEE.  No mutual fund can guarantee  that it will meet its 
     investment objectives.

     POSSIBLE  LOSS  OF   INVESTMENT.   A  mutual  fund  cannot   guarantee  its
     performance,  nor assure you that the market value of your  investment will
     increase.  You may  lose  the  money  you  invest,  and the  Fund  will not
     reimburse you for any of these losses.

     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with changes
     in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.
<PAGE>
     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.

[ARROW ICON] RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR INVESTMENTS

     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the  policies
     discussed  below in  determining  the  appropriateness  of allocating  your
     contract  values to the Fund.  See the Statement of Additional  Information
     for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  INVESCO  will monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices  vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of the
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.

     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.
   
     DEBT SECURITIES RISK
     Debt  securities  include bonds,  notes and other  securities that give the
     holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,  or both
     on a date in the  future  or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also are  often
     referred to as fixed income securities, even if the rate of interest varies
     over the life of the security.

     Debt  securities  are  generally  subject to credit  risk and market  risk.
     Credit  risk is the risk that the issuer of the  security  may be unable to
     meet interest or principal  payments or both as they come due.  Market risk
     is the risk that the market value of the security may decline for a variety
     of reasons,  including  changes in interest  rates. An increase in interest
     rates  tends to reduce the market  values of debt  securities  in which the
     Fund  invests.  A decline in interest  rates  tends to increase  the market
     values of debt securities in which the Fund invests.

     Moody's  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")  ratings  provide a useful but not
     certain  guide to the credit  risk of many debt  securities.  The lower the
     rating of a debt  security,  the greater the credit risk the rating service
     assigns to the security. To compensate investors for accepting that greater
     risk,   lower-rated   securities  tend  to  offer  higher  interest  rates.
     Lower-rated  debt  securities are often referred to as "junk bonds." A debt
     security is considered  lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by Moody's or
     BB or less by S&P and is usually considered to be speculative. Although the
     Fund may invest in debt  securities  assigned lower grade ratings by S&P or
     Moody's,  the Fund's  investments  have generally  been in debt  securities
     rated B or higher by either S&P or Moody's.
    
<PAGE>
   
     In addition to poor individual company performance in the marketplace or in
     its internal  management,  a significant  economic  downturn or increase in
     interest rates may cause issuers of debt securities to experience increased
     financial  problems  which could hurt their  ability to pay  principal  and
     interest  obligations,  to meet  projected  business  goals,  and to obtain
     additional  financing.  These  conditions  more severely  impact issuers of
     lower-rated  debt  securities.  The market for lower  rated  straight  debt
     securities  may not be as liquid as the market for  higher  rated  straight
     debt  securities.  Therefore,  INVESCO attempts to limit purchases of lower
     rated securities to securities having an established secondary market.

     Debt securities rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks
     of non-payment of principal or interest. Lower rated securities by Standard
     & Poor's  (categories  BB, B, CCC)  include  those which are  predominantly
     speculative  because of the issuer's perceived capacity to pay interest and
     repay  principal in  accordance  with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest
     degree of  speculation  and CCC a high  degree of  speculation.  While such
     bonds will likely have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
     are usually  outweighed by large  uncertainties  or major risk exposures to
     adverse conditions.

     JUNK BOND RISK
     The Fund invests in lower-grade  debt  securities,  commonly known as "junk
     bonds." Junk bonds  generally  pay higher  interest  rates than  comparable
     higher-grade  securities,  and thus can produce higher income for the Fund.
     However,  these higher  interest  rates are paid to compensate the Fund for
     the  additional  risk  that  it  takes  when  it  invests  in  junk  bonds.
     Specifically,  junk bonds are perceived by independent  rating  agencies as
     having  a  greater  risk  that  their  issuers  will not be able to pay the
     interest  and  principal  as they become due over the life of the bond.  In
     addition to the loss of interest payments,  the market value of a defaulted
     bond would likely drop, and the Fund would be forced to sell it at a loss.

     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK
     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
      CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and a 
      foreign currency may reduce the value of the Fund's investment in a 
      security valued in the foreign currency, or based on that currency value.

      POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result in 
      unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
      REGULATORY RISK. Government regulations may affect the value of a 
      security. In foreign countries, securities markets that are less regulated
      than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that are not allowed 
      in the U.S.

      DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and a 
      foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.

      EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION. Austria,  Belgium,  Finland, France,
      Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,  The Netherlands,  Portugal and Spain
      are  presently  members of the European  Economic and Monetary  Union (the
      "EMU") which as of January 1, 1999 adopted the euro as a common  currency.
      The national  currencies will be  sub-currencies of the euro until July 1,
      2002, at which time the old  currencies  will  disappear  entirely.  Other
      European countries may adopt the euro in the future.
    
<PAGE>
      The  introduction  of the euro  presents some  uncertainties  and possible
      risks,  which could  adversely  affect the value of securities held by the
      Fund.

      EMU countries,  as a single market, may affect future investment decisions
      of the  Fund.  As the euro is  implemented,  there may be  changes  in the
      relative strength and value of the U.S. dollar and other major currencies,
      as well as possible adverse tax  consequences.  The euro transition by EMU
      countries - present and future - may affect the fiscal and monetary levels
      of those participating  countries.  There may be increased levels of price
      competition   among  business  firms  within  EMU  countries  and  between
      businesses   in  EMU  and   non-EMU   countries.   The  outcome  of  these
      uncertainties  could have unpredictable  effects on trade and commerce and
      result in increased volatility for all financial markets.

     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
     DERIVATIVES RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are  common  types  of  derivatives  that a Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other investment, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  investment,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction  with  the  Fund.  

     LACK  OF  TIMELY   INFORMATION  RISK  
     Timely information  about a security or its issuer may be unavailable,  
     incomplete or  inaccurate.  This risk is more common to  securities  issued
     by foreign companies and companies in emerging markets than it is to the 
     securities of U.S.-based companies
   
     The Fund generally  invests in equity and debt securities.  However,  in an
     effort to diversify  its holdings and provide some  protection  against the
     risk of other  investments,  the Fund  also may  invest  in other  types of
     securities  and other  financial  instruments,  as  indicated  in the chart
     below.  These  investments,  which  at any  given  time  may  constitute  a
     significant portion of the Fund's portfolio, have their own risks.

[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

     When  securities   markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.

{INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT
                                                   
     INVESCO IS A  SUBSIDIARY  OF  AMVESCAP  PLC,  AN  INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT
     MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT MANAGES MORE THAN $275 BILLION IN ASSETS WORLDWIDE.
     AMVESCAP IS BASED IN LONDON,  WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE,  NORTH
     AND SOUTH AMERICA, AND THE FAR EAST.
    
     THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
     INVESCO,  located  at 7800 East  Union  Avenue,  Denver,  Colorado,  is the
     investment  adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO  was  founded in 1932 and manages
     over $21.2 billion for more than 900,000  shareholders of 51 INVESCO mutual
     funds.  INVESCO  performs a wide  variety of other  services for the Funds,
     including  administration  and transfer agency functions (the processing of
     purchases,  sales and exchanges of Fund shares).  A wholly owned subsidiary
     of INVESCO,  INVESCO Distributors,  Inc. ("IDI"), is the Fund's distributor
     and is responsible  for the sale of the Fund's shares. 
    
     INVESCO and IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.

     The Fund paid 0.75% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
     advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

[INVESCO ICON] THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
   
     The following  individuals  are primarily  responsible  for the  day-to-day
     management of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

     CHARLES P. MAYER is Director of Investments,  a co-portfolio manager of the
     Fund and a director  and senior vice  president  of  INVESCO.  He began his
     investment  career in 1969 and has been with  INVESCO  since  1993.  Before
     joining INVESCO, Charlie was a portfolio manager with Westinghouse Pension.
     He holds an M.B.A.  from St. John's  University and a B.A. from St. Peter's
     College.

     DONOVAN  J.  (JERRY)  PAUL  heads  INVESCO's  Fixed  Income  Team.  He is a
     co-portfolio  manager of the Fund and a senior vice  president  of INVESCO.
     Jerry manages  several other fixed income INVESCO Funds.  He is a Chartered
     Financial Analyst and a Certified Public Accountant. Before joining INVESCO
     in 1994,  he was with Stein,  Roe & Farnham,  Inc.  and Quixote  Investment
     Management.  Jerry received his M.B.A. from the University of Northern Iowa
     and his B.B.A. from the University of Iowa.

[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE
   
CURRENT  MARKET  VALUE OF FUND ASSETS 
+ ACCRUED  INTEREST  AND  DIVIDENDS 
- - FUND DEBTS,
INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV).
    
   
     The value of Fund shares is likely to change daily.  This value is known as
     the Net Asset Value per share, or NAV. INVESCO  determines the market value
     of each investment in the Fund's portfolio each day that the New York Stock
     Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the  close  of  trading  on that  exchange
     (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time). Therefore,  shares of the Fund are not
     priced on days when the NYSE is closed,  which,  generally,  is on weekends
     and national holidays in the U.S.
    
     NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
     Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
     dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
     dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
     shares.

     In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
     securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
     and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
     Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
     exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
     Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO  would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares on
     that day),  even  though  activity  on foreign  exchanges  could  result in
     changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

     The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
     the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
     investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
     Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

     Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
     one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
     consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
     federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
     for your contract.

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

     NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME AND NET REALIZED  CAPITAL GAINS ARE  DISTRIBUTED TO
     SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

     The Fund  intends to  distribute  substantially  all of its net  investment
     income,  if any, in dividends to its shareholders.  For dividend  purposes,
     net investment  income  consists of all dividends or interest earned by the
     Fund's investments, minus the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee).
     All of the Fund's net  realized  capital  gains,  if any,  are  distributed
     periodically,   no  less  frequently  than  annually.   All  dividends  and
     distributions  of the Fund are reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund
     at net asset value. 

[INVESCO ICON] VOTING RIGHTS

     Since the shares of the Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by
     you directly,  you will not vote shares of the Fund. Your insurance company
     will vote the shares that it holds as  required  by state and federal  law.
     Your  contract  prospectus  contains  more  information  on your  rights to
     instruct your insurance  company how to vote Fund shares held in connection
     with your contract.

[KEY ICON] INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES
 
FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND MARKET OUTLOOK, 
PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

     INVESCO Funds Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO") is the  investment  adviser for the
     Fund.  Together with our affiliated  companies,  we at INVESCO  control all
     aspects of the management of the Fund.
 
     The Fund is used solely as an  investment  vehicle for variable  annuity or
     variable  life  insurance   contracts  issued  by  certain  life  insurance
     companies.  You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. As an owner of
     a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract that offers the Fund
     as an investment option,  however, you may allocate your contract values to
     a separate  account of the insurance  company that invests in shares of the
     Fund.

     Your  variable  annuity or  variable  life  insurance  contract  is offered
     through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
     including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
     to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
     issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
     prospectus for your contract.

     The Fund is  aggressively  managed.  Although  the Fund can  invest in debt
     securities, it primarily invests in equity securities that INVESCO believes
     will rise in price  faster than other  investments,  as well as options and
     other   investments  whose  value  is  based  upon  the  values  of  equity
     securities.
   
     The Fund seeks  capital  appreciation  and invests  primarily in the equity
     securities  of companies  that develop,  produce or distribute  products or
     services  related to health care.  These  industries  include,  but are not
     limited to,  medical  equipment or supplies,  pharmaceuticals,  health care
     facilities,  and  applied  research  and  development  of new  products  or
     services.
    
     The Fund  normally  invests at least 80% of its assets in  companies  doing
     business in the health  sciences  economic  sector.  The  remainder  of the
     Fund's  assets are not required to be invested in the sector.  To determine
     whether a  potential  investment  is truly doing  business in a  particular
     sector, a company must meet at least one of the following tests:

     * At least 50% of its gross income or its net sales must come from 
       activities in the sector;
     * At least 50% of its assets must be devoted to producing revenues from the
       sector;  or 
     * Based on other  available  information,  we determine that its
       primary business is within the sector.
<PAGE>
     INVESCO  uses  a  bottom-up   investment  approach  to  create  the  Fund's
     investment portfolio, focusing on company fundamentals and growth prospects
     when selecting securities. In general, the Fund emphasizes strongly managed
     companies that INVESCO  believes will generate  above-average  growth rates
     for the next three to five years.  We prefer markets and  industries  where
     leadership is in a few hands, and we tend to avoid  slower-growing  markets
     or industries.
   
     The Fund's  investments are diversified  across the health sciences sector.
     However,  because those  investments are limited to a comparatively  narrow
     segment of the economy,  the Fund's  investments  are not as diversified as
     most  mutual  funds,  and far less  diversified  than the broad  securities
     markets.  This  means that the Fund  tends to be more  volatile  than other
     mutual funds, and the values of its portfolio investments tend to go up and
     down more rapidly.  As a result, the value of a Fund share may rise or fall
     rapidly.  The health  care  industry  is heavily  regulated,  and  changing
     government regulations may adversely affect the companies in which the Fund
     invests.
    
     We  target  strongly  managed,  innovative  companies  with new  products.
     INVESCO  attempts  to  blend   well-established   health  care  firms  with
     faster-growing,   more  dynamic  entities.   Well-established  health  care
     companies  typically  provide  liquidity  and earnings  visibility  for the
     portfolio  and represent  core  holdings in the Fund.  The remainder of the
     portfolio consists of  faster-growing,  more dynamic health care companies,
     which have new  products or are  increasing  their market share of existing
     products.  Many faster-growing health care companies have limited operating
     histories and their potential  profitability may be dependent on regulatory
     approval  of  their  products,  which  increases  the  volatility  of these
     companies' security prices.

     Many  of  these   activities  are  funded  or  subsidized  by  governments;
     withdrawal or curtailment of this support could lower the profitability and
     market prices of such  companies.  Changes in government  regulation  could
     also have an adverse  impact.  Continuing  technological  advances may mean
     rapid obsolescence of products and services.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE
    
     The bar chart  below  shows the  Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  ended
     December 31 (commonly  known as its "total  return") since  inception.  The
     table below shows average annual returns for various periods ended December
     31, 1998 for the Fund compared to the S&P 500 Index. The information in the
     chart and table  illustrates  the variability of the Fund's returns and how
     its performance compared to a broad measure of market performance.  The bar
     chart  provides  some  indication  of the risks of investing in the Fund by
     showing changes in the year to year performance of the Fund. Remember, past
     performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.(1)
    
     The  Fund's  returns  are  net of its  expenses,  but  do not  reflect  the
     additional  fees and  expenses of your  variable  annuity or variable  life
     insurance contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included,  the
     returns would be less than those shown.

FEES AND EXPENSES

     ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS
   
     VIF-HEALTH SCIENCES FUND
     Management Fees                                   0.75%
     Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees             None
     Other Expenses(1)(2)(3)                           3.57%
     Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (1)(2)(3)    4.32%
    
     (1)Certain  expenses of the Fund are being absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO
        pursuant  to a  commitment  to the Fund.  After  absorption,  the Fund's
        "Other  Expenses" and "Total Annual Fund Operating  Expenses" were 0.52%
        and  1.27%,  respectively.  This  commitment  may be changed at any time
        following consultation with the board of directors.
   
     (2)The Fund's  actual  "Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were lower
        than the figures shown, because its custodian fees were reduced under an
        expense offset arrangement.  Because of an SEC requirement,  the figures
        shown do not reflect these reductions.

     (3)The  expense  information  presented  in the table has been  restated to
        reflect a change in the administrative fee.
    
     EXAMPLE
    
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower,  based on these  assumptions  your costs would have
     been:

     The  following  reflects the costs without the absorption of expenses:(1)
                                   1 year    3 years   5 years   10 years
                                   $433      $1,309    $2,197    $4,470

     (1)The following reflects the costs with the absorption of expenses:
        1 year  3 years   5 years  10 years
        $129    $403      $697     $1,534
    
[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS
   
BEFORE ALLOCATING CONTRACT VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF
RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE  COMFORTABLE.  TAKE INTO ACCOUNT  FACTORS LIKE YOUR AGE,
CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.
    
   
     You should determine the level of risk with which you are comfortable 
     before you allocate  contract  values to the Fund. The principal  risks of
     any mutual fund, including the Fund, are:
    
<PAGE>
     NOT INSURED. Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation ("FDIC") or any other agency,  unlike bank deposits such as CDs
     or savings accounts.

     NO GUARANTEE. No mutual fund can guarantee that it will meet its investment
     objectives.

     POSSIBLE  LOSS  OF  INVESTMENT.   A  mutual  fund  cannot   guarantee  its
     performance,  nor assure you that the market value of your  investment will
     increase.  You may  lose  the  money  you  invest,  and the  Fund  will not
     reimburse you for any of these losses.

     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with changes
     in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.

     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.


[ARROW ICON] RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR INVESTMENTS

     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the  policies
     discussed  below in  determining  the  appropriateness  of allocating  your
     contract  values to the Fund.  See the Statement of Additional  Information
     for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  INVESCO  will monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices  vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of the
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.

     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.
   
     DEBT SECURITIES RISK
     Debt  securities  include bonds,  notes and other  securities that give the
     holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,  or both
     on a date in the  future  or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also are  often
     referred to as fixed income securities, even if the rate of interest varies
     over the life of the security.
    
<PAGE>
   
     Debt  securities  are  generally  subject to credit  risk and market  risk.
     Credit  risk is the risk that the issuer of the  security  may be unable to
     meet interest or principal  payments or both as they come due.  Market risk
     is the risk that the market value of the security may decline for a variety
     of reasons,  including  changes in interest  rates. An increase in interest
     rates  tends to reduce the market  values of debt  securities  in which the
     Fund  invests.  A decline in interest  rates  tends to increase  the market
     values of debt securities in which the Fund invests.

     Moody's  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")  ratings  provide a useful but not
     certain  guide to the credit  risk of many debt  securities.  The lower the
     rating of a debt  security,  the greater the credit risk the rating service
     assigns to the security. To compensate investors for accepting that greater
     risk,   lower-rated   securities  tend  to  offer  higher  interest  rates.
     Lower-rated  debt  securities are often referred to as "junk bonds." A debt
     security is considered  lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by Moody's or
     BB or less by S&P and is usually considered to be speculative.

     In addition to poor individual company performance in the marketplace or in
     its internal  management,  a significant  economic  downturn or increase in
     interest rates may cause issuers of debt securities to experience increased
     financial  problems  which could hurt their  ability to pay  principal  and
     interest  obligations,  to meet  projected  business  goals,  and to obtain
     additional  financing.  These  conditions  more severely  impact issuers of
     lower-rated  debt  securities.  The market for lower  rated  straight  debt
     securities  may not be as liquid as the market for  higher  rated  straight
     debt  securities.  Therefore,  INVESCO attempts to limit purchases of lower
     rated securities to securities having an established secondary market.

     Debt securities rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks
     of non-payment of principal or interest. Lower rated securities by Standard
     & Poor's  (categories  BB, B, CCC)  include  those which are  predominantly
     speculative  because of the issuer's perceived capacity to pay interest and
     repay  principal in  accordance  with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest
     degree of  speculation  and CCC a high  degree of  speculation.  While such
     bonds will likely have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
     are usually  outweighed by large  uncertainties  or major risk exposures to
     adverse conditions.

     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK
     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
          CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S.  dollars and
          a foreign currency may reduce the value of the Fund's  investment in a
          security  valued in the foreign  currency,  or based on that  currency
          value.

          POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result in
          unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
          REGULATORY  RISK.  Government  regulations  may  affect the value of a
          security.  In  foreign  countries,  securities  markets  that are less
          regulated than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that are
          not allowed in the U.S.

          DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and
          a foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.
    
<PAGE>
   
          EUROPEAN  ECONOMIC  AND MONETARY  UNION.  Austria,  Belgium,  Finland,
          France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal
          and Spain are presently  members of the European Economic and Monetary
          Union (the  "EMU")  which as of January 1, 1999  adopted the euro as a
          common currency. The national currencies will be sub-currencies of the
          euro  until  July 1,  2002,  at  which  time the old  currencies  will
          disappear entirely. Other European countries may adopt the euro in the
          future.
    
          The introduction of the euro presents some  uncertainties and possible
          risks,  which could  adversely  affect the value of securities held by
          the Fund.

          EMU  countries,  as a single  market,  may  affect  future  investment
          decisions  of the  Fund.  As the  euro is  implemented,  there  may be
          changes  in the  relative  strength  and value of the U.S.  dollar and
          other major currencies,  as well as possible adverse tax consequences.
          The euro transition by EMU countries - present and future - may affect
          the fiscal and monetary levels of those participating countries. There
          may be increased  levels of price  competition  among  business  firms
          within  EMU  countries  and  between  businesses  in EMU  and  non-EMU
          countries. The outcome of these uncertainties could have unpredictable
          effects on trade and commerce and result in increased  volatility  for
          all financial markets.

     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
     DERIVATIVES RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are common  types of  derivatives  that the Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other instrument, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  instrument,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction with the Fund.
<PAGE>
     LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
     Timely  information  about a security  or its  issuer  may be  unavailable,
     incomplete or inaccurate.  This risk is more common to securities issued by
     foreign  companies  and  companies  in emerging  markets  than it is to the
     securities of U.S.-based companies.
   
     The Fund generally  invests in equity securities of companies that develop,
     produce or distribute products or services related to health care. However,
     in an effort to diversify its holdings and provide some protection  against
     the risk of other  investments,  the Fund also may invest in other types of
     securities  and other  financial  instruments,  as  indicated  in the chart
     below.  These  investments,  which  at any  given  time  may  constitute  a
     significant portion of the Fund's portfolio, have their own risks.

</TABLE>

[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

     When  securities   markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.

[ARROW ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
   
     We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio.  Therefore, the Fund may
     have a high  portfolio  turnover  rate compared to many other mutual funds.
     The Fund had a  portfolio  turnover  rate of 107% for the fiscal year ended
     December 31, 1998.
    
   
     A portfolio  turnover  rate of 200%,  for example,  is equivalent to a Fund
     buying and selling all of the  securities in its portfolio two times in the
     course of a year. A  comparatively  high turnover rate may result in higher
     brokerage commissions.
    
[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT
                                                       
INVESCO IS A SUBSIDIARY OF AMVESCAP PLC, AN INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
COMPANY THAT MANAGES  MORE THAN $275  BILLION IN ASSETS  WORLDWIDE.  AMVESCAP IS
BASED IN LONDON, WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE, NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA,
AND THE FAR EAST.
    
THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
     INVESCO,  located at 7800 East Union Avenue, Denver,  Colorado, is the
     investment  adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO  was  founded in 1932 and manages
     over $21.2 billion for more than 900,000  shareholders of 51 INVESCO mutual
     funds.  INVESCO  performs a wide  variety of other  services for the Funds,
     including  administration  and transfer agency functions (the processing of
     purchases,  sales and exchanges of Fund shares).  A wholly owned subsidiary
     of INVESCO,  INVESCO Distributors,  Inc. ("IDI"), is the Fund's distributor
     and is responsible for the sale of the Fund's shares.
    
     INVESCO and IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.

     The Fund paid 0.75% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
     advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
<PAGE>
[INVESCO ICON] THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
   
     The following  individual is responsible  for the day-to-day  management of
     the Fund's portfolio holdings:

     JOHN R. SCHROER,  a Chartered  Financial  Analyst,  has been the portfolio
     manager of the Fund since October 1997 (co- portfolio  manager since 1994).
     John also manages  INVESCO Sector Funds - Health  Sciences Fund and INVESCO
     Global Health Sciences Fund and is a senior vice president of INVESCO and a
     vice president of INVESCO Global Health  Sciences Fund.  John has been with
     INVESCO since 1992. He was an assistant vice president with Trust Company 
     of the West from 1990 to 1992. John received an M.B.A. and B.S. from the 
     University of Wisconsin-Madison.

     John Schroer is a member of, and leads, the INVESCO Health Team.
    
[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE
   
CURRENT  MARKET  VALUE OF FUND ASSETS 
+ ACCRUED  INTEREST  AND  DIVIDENDS 
- - FUND DEBTS,
INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV).
    
   
     The value of Fund shares is likely to change daily.  This value is known as
     the Net Asset Value per share, or NAV. INVESCO  determines the market value
     of each investment in the Fund's portfolio each day that the New York Stock
     Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the  close  of  trading  on that  exchange
     (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time). Therefore,  shares of the Fund are not
     priced on days when the NYSE is closed,  which,  generally,  is on weekends
     and national holidays in the U.S.
    
     NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
     Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
     dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
     dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
     shares.

     In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
     securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
     and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
     Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
     exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
     Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO  would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares on
     that day),  even  though  activity  on foreign  exchanges  could  result in
     changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

     The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
     the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
     investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
     Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

     Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
     one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
     consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
     federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
     for your contract.
<PAGE>

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME  AND NET  REALIZED  CAPITAL  GAINS  ARE  DISTRIBUTED  TO
SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

     The Fund  intends to  distribute  substantially  all of its net  investment
     income,  if any, in dividends to its shareholders.  For dividend  purposes,
     net investment  income  consists of all dividends or interest earned by the
     Fund's investments, minus the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee).
     All of the Fund's net  realized  capital  gains,  if any,  are  distributed
     periodically,   no  less  frequently  than  annually.   All  dividends  and
     distributions  of the Fund are reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund
     at net asset value.

[INVESCO ICON] VOTING RIGHTS

     Since the shares of the Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by
     you directly,  you will not vote shares of the Fund. Your insurance company
     will vote the shares that it holds as  required  by state and federal  law.
     Your  contract  prospectus  contains  more  information  on your  rights to
     instruct your insurance  company how to vote Fund shares held in connection
     with your contract.

[KEY ICON]  INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES

FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND MARKET OUTLOOK, 
PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

INVESCO Funds Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO") is the investment  adviser for the Fund.
Together with our affiliated companies, we at INVESCO control all aspects of the
management of the Fund.

The Fund is used  solely  as an  investment  vehicle  for  variable  annuity  or
variable life insurance  contracts  issued by certain life insurance  companies.
You  cannot  purchase  shares of the Fund  directly.  As an owner of a  variable
annuity  or  variable  life  insurance  contract  that  offers  the  Fund  as an
investment option,  however, you may allocate your contract values to a separate
account of the insurance company that invests in shares of the Fund.

Your  variable  annuity or  variable  life  insurance  contract  is offered
through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
prospectus for your contract.
   
The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current  income,  with  growth of
capital as a secondary objective.
    
   
It invests  substantially all of its assets in lower-rated debt securities,
commonly  called "junk bonds," and preferred  stock,  including  securities
issued by foreign companies.  These debt securities are highly sensitive to
changes in interest rates; in general, as interest rates rise, the value of
these securities will decline. Because the debt securities held by the Fund
tend to be lowerrated,  they are more  susceptible to the impact of overall
fluctuations  in the economy  than  other,  higher-rated  debt  securities.
Although  these  securities  carry with them higher risks,  they  generally
provide  higher  yields - and therefore  higher income - than  higher-rated
debt securities.
    
[GRAPH ICON]  FUND PERFORMANCE
   
The bar chart  below  shows the  Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  ended
December 31 (commonly  known as its "total  return") since  inception.  The
table below shows average annual returns for various periods ended December
31,  1998 for the Fund  compared  to the  Merrill  Lynch High Yield  Master
Index.  The information in the chart and table  illustrates the variability
of the Fund's returns and how its  performance  compared to a broad measure
of market performance.  The bar chart provides some indication of the risks
of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the year to year performance
of the Fund. Remember, past performance does not indicate how the Fund will
perform in the future.(1)
    
<PAGE>
The  Fund's  returns  are  net of its  expenses,  but  do not  reflect  the
additional  fees and  expenses of your  variable  annuity or variable  life
insurance contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included,  the
returns would be less than those shown.

     (1)The Fund's  actual  "Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were lower
        than the figures shown, because its custodian fees were reduced under an
        expense offset arrangements.  Because of an SEC requirement, the figures
        shown do not reflect these reductions.

     (2)The  expense  information  presented  in the table has been  restated to
        reflect a change in the administrative fee.
    
     EXAMPLE
   
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
    
<PAGE>
   
     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower,  based on these  assumptions  your costs would have
     been:

     The following reflects the costs without the absorption of expenses:

                                    1 year    3 years   5 years  10 years
                                    $109      $340      $590     $1,306
    
[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS
   
BEFORE ALLOCATING CONTRACT VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF
RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE  COMFORTABLE.  TAKE INTO ACCOUNT  FACTORS LIKE YOUR AGE,
CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.

You should determine the level of risk with which you are comfortable before you
allocate  contract  values to the Fund. The principal  risks of any mutual fund,
including the Fund, are:
    
     NOT INSURED. Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation ("FDIC") or any other agency,  unlike bank deposits such as CDs
     or savings accounts.

     NO GUARANTEE. No mutual fund can guarantee that it will meet its investment
     objectives.

     POSSIBLE  LOSS  OF  INVESTMENT.   A  mutual  fund  cannot   guarantee  its
     performance,  nor assure you that the market value of your  investment will
     increase.  You may  lose  the  money  you  invest,  and the  Fund  will not
     reimburse you for any of these losses.

     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with changes
     in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.

     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.

[ARROW ICON] RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR INVESTMENTS

     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the  policies
     discussed  below in  determining  the  appropriateness  of allocating  your
     contract  values to the Fund.  See the Statement of Additional  Information
     for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  INVESCO  will monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     DEBT SECURITIES RISK
     Debt  securities  include bonds,  notes and other  securities that give the
     holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,  or both
     on a date in the  future  or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also are  often
     referred to as fixed income securities, even if the rate of interest varies
     over the life of the security.

     Debt  securities  are  generally  subject to credit  risk and market  risk.
     Credit  risk is the risk that the issuer of the  security  may be unable to
     meet interest or principal  payments or both as they come due.  Market risk
     is the risk that the market value of the security may decline for a variety
     of reasons,  including  changes in interest  rates. An increase in interest
     rates  tends to reduce the market  values of debt  securities  in which the
     Fund  invests.  A decline in interest  rates  tends to increase  the market
     values of debt securities in which the Fund invests.

     Moody's  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")  ratings  provide a useful but not
     certain  guide to the credit  risk of many debt  securities.  The lower the
     rating of a debt  security,  the greater the credit risk the rating service
     assigns to the security. To compensate investors for accepting that greater
     risk,   lower-rated   securities  tend  to  offer  higher  interest  rates.
     Lower-rated  debt  securities  in which  the Fund  invests  the bulk of its
     assets are often referred to as "junk bonds." A debt security is considered
     lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by Moody's or BB or less by S&P.

     Lower rated and non-rated debt securities of comparable quality are subject
     to wider  fluctuations  in yields and market  values than higher rated debt
     securities and may be considered speculative.  Although the Fund may invest
     in debt  securities  assigned  lower grade  ratings by S&P or Moody's,  the
     Fund's  investments  have generally been limited to debt securities rated B
     or higher by either S&P or Moody's.  Debt securities  rated lower than B by
     either S&P or Moody's are usually considered to be highly speculative.

     In addition to poor individual company performance in the marketplace or in
     its internal  management,  a significant  economic  downturn or increase in
     interest rates may cause issuers of debt securities to experience increased
     financial  problems  which could hurt their  ability to pay  principal  and
     interest  obligations,  to meet  projected  business  goals,  and to obtain
     additional  financing.  These  conditions  more severely  impact issuers of
     lower-rated  debt  securities.  The market for lower  rated  straight  debt
     securities  may not be as liquid as the market for  higher  rated  straight
     debt  securities.  Therefore,  INVESCO attempts to limit purchases of lower
     rated securities to securities having an established secondary market.
<PAGE>

     Debt securities rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks
     of non-payment of principal or interest. Lower rated securities by Standard
     & Poor's  (categories  BB, B, CCC)  include  those which are  predominantly
     speculative  because of the issuer's perceived capacity to pay interest and
     repay  principal in  accordance  with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest
     degree of  speculation  and CCC a high  degree of  speculation.  While such
     bonds will likely have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
     are usually  outweighed by large  uncertainties  or major risk exposures to
     adverse conditions.

     JUNK BOND RISK
     The Fund invests  significantly in lower-grade  debt  securities,  commonly
     known as "junk bonds." Junk bonds  generally pay higher interest rates than
     comparable higher-grade securities,  and thus can produce higher income for
     the Fund.  However,  these higher interest rates are paid to compensate the
     Fund for the  additional  risk that it takes when it invests in junk bonds.
     Specifically,  junk bonds are perceived by independent  rating  agencies as
     having  a  greater  risk  that  their  issuers  will not be able to pay the
     interest  and  principal  as they become due over the life of the bond.  In
     addition to the loss of interest payments,  the market value of a defaulted
     bond would likely drop, and the Fund would be forced to sell it at a loss.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices  vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of the
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.

     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.
   
     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK
     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
       CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and a 
       foreign currency may reduce the value of the Fund's investment in a 
       security valued in the foreign currency, or based on that currency value.

       POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result in 
       unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
       REGULATORY RISK. Government regulations may affect the value of a 
       security. In foreign countries, securities markets that are less 
       regulated than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that are 
       not allowed in the U.S.

       DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and a
       foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.

       EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION. Austria,  Belgium, Finland, France,
       Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands,  Portugal and Spain
       are presently  members of the European  Economic and Monetary  Union (the
       "EMU") which as of January 1, 1999 adopted the euro as a common currency.
       The national  currencies will be sub-currencies of the euro until July 1,
       2002, at which time the old  currencies  will disappear  entirely.  Other
       European countries may adopt the euro in the future.
    
<PAGE>
       The  introduction  of the euro presents some  uncertainties  and possible
       risks,  which could adversely  affect the value of securities held by the
       Fund.

       EMU countries, as a single market, may affect future investment decisions
       of the Fund.  As the euro is  implemented,  there may be  changes  in the
       relative   strength  and  value  of  the  U.S.  dollar  and  other  major
       currencies,  as well as  possible  adverse  tax  consequences.  The  euro
       transition  by EMU countries - present and future - may affect the fiscal
       and  monetary  levels  of those  participating  countries.  There  may be
       increased  levels of price  competition  among  business firms within EMU
       countries  and  between  businesses  in EMU and  non-EMU  countries.  The
       outcome of these uncertainties could have unpredictable  effects on trade
       and  commerce  and  result  in  increased  volatility  for all  financial
       markets.

     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
     DERIVATIVES RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are common  types of  derivatives  that the Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other instrument, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  instrument,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction with the Fund.
<PAGE>
     LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
     Timely  information  about a security  or its  issuer  may be  unavailable,
     incomplete or inaccurate.  This risk is more common to securities issued by
     foreign  companies  and  companies  in emerging  markets  than it is to the
     securities of U.S.-based companies.
   
     The Fund  generally  invests in junk bonds and preferred  stock,  including
     securities issued by foreign companies.  However, in an effort to diversify
     its  holdings  and  provide  some  protection  against  the  risk of  other
     investments,  the Fund also may  invest in other  types of  securities  and
     other  financial  instruments  as  indicated  in  the  chart  below.  These
     investments,  which at any given time may constitute a significant  portion
     of the Fund's portfolio, may have their own risks.

 DELAYED DELIVERY OR WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
 Ordinarily, the Fund purchases securities and pays for     Market abd Ibterest Rate
 them in cash at the normal trade settle ment time. When    Risk
 the Fund purchases a delayed delivery or when-issued
 security, it promises to pay in the future - for
 example, when the security is actually available for
 delivery to the Fund. The Fund's obligation to pay and
 the interest rate it recieves, in the case of debt
 securities, usually are fixed when the Fund promises to
 pay. Between the date the Fund promises to pay and the
 date the securities are actually received, the Fund
 receives no interest on its investment, and bears the
 risk that the market value of the when-issued security
 may decline.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS
   
     When  securities   markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.
<PAGE>
[ARROW ICON]  PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
    
     We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio.  Therefore, the Fund may
     have a high  portfolio  turnover  rate compared to many other mutual funds.
     The Fund had a portfolio  turnover rate for the fiscal year ended  December
     31, 1998 of 245%.
    
     A portfolio  turnover  rate of 200%,  for example,  is equivalent to a Fund
     buying and selling all of the  securities in its portfolio two times in the
     course of a year. A  comparatively  high turnover rate may result in higher
     brokerage commissions.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT
                                                       
INVESCO IS A SUBSIDIARY OF AMVESCAP PLC, AN INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
COMPANY THAT MANAGES  MORE THAN $275  BILLION IN ASSETS  WORLDWIDE.  AMVESCAP IS
BASED IN LONDON, WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE, NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA,
AND THE FAR EAST.
    
THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
INVESCO,  located at 7800 East Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado, is the investment
adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO was founded in 1932 and manages over $21.2 billion
for more than 900,000  shareholders of 51 INVESCO mutual funds. INVESCO performs
a wide variety of other  services for the Funds,  including  administration  and
transfer agency  functions (the processing of purchases,  sales and exchanges of
Fund shares). A wholly owned subsidiary of INVESCO,  INVESCO Distributors,  Inc.
("IDI"), is the Fund's distributor and is responsible for the sale of the Fund's
shares.
    
INVESCO and IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.

The Fund paid 0.60% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

[INVESCO ICON]  THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
        
The  following  individual  is  primarily  responsible  for the  day-to-day
management of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

DONOVAN J. (JERRY) PAUL is the portfolio manager of the Fund and is senior vice
president of INVESCO who manages several other fixed income INVESCO Funds.  He
is a Chartered Financial Analyst and a Certified Public Accountant.  Before 
joining INVESCO in 1994, he was with Stein, Roe & Farnham, Inc. and Quixote

- -----------------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV).
    
<PAGE>
   
The value of Fund shares is likely to change  daily.  This value is known as the
Net Asset Value per share, or NAV.  INVESCO  determines the market value of each
investment  in the Fund's  portfolio  each day that the New York Stock  Exchange
("NYSE") is open, at the close of trading on that exchange (normally,  4:00 p.m.
New York  time).  Therefore,  shares of the Fund are not priced on days when the
NYSE is closed,  which,  generally,  is on weekends and national holidays in the
U.S.
    
NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
shares.

In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO  would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares on
that day),  even  though  activity  on foreign  exchanges  could  result in
changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES
     
The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
for your contract.

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME  AND NET  REALIZED  CAPITAL  GAINS  ARE  DISTRIBUTED  TO
SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

The Fund intends to distribute  substantially all of its net investment  income,
if any, in dividends to its shareholders.  For dividend purposes, net investment
income consists of all dividends or interest  earned by the Fund's  investments,
minus the Fund's  expenses  (including  the advisory fee). All of the Fund's net
realized capital gains, if any, are distributed periodically, no less frequently
than  annually.  All dividends and  distributions  of the Fund are reinvested in
additional  shares  of the Fund at net asset  value.  

[INVESCO ICON]  VOTING RIGHTS

Since the shares of the Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by
you directly,  you will not vote shares of the Fund. Your insurance company

[KEY ICON] INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES

     FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND MARKET OUTLOOK, 
     PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

     INVESCO Funds Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO") is the  investment  adviser for the
     Fund.  Together with our affiliated  companies,  we at INVESCO  control all
     aspects of the management of the Fund.

     The Fund is used solely as an  investment  vehicle for variable  annuity or
     variable  life  insurance   contracts  issued  by  certain  life  insurance
     companies.  You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. As an owner of
     a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract that offers the Fund
     as an investment option,  however, you may allocate your contract values to
     a separate  account of the insurance  company that invests in shares of the
     Fund.
     
     Your  variable  annuity or  variable  life  insurance  contract  is offered
     through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
     including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
     to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
     issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
     prospectus for your contract.
   
     The Fund tries to buy securities  that will increase in value over the long
     term. Above-average current income is an additional consideration.

     Although the Fund can invest in debt  securities,  it primarily  invests in
     equity  securities  that  INVESCO  believes  will rise in price faster than
     other investments,  as well as options and other investments whose value is
     based upon the values of equity securities.

     The Fund  normally  invests at least 65% of its assets in  companies  doing
     business in the real estate  industry.  The  remainder of the Fund's assets
     are invested in other income-producing  securities.  The Fund's investments
     are  diversified   across  the  realty  sector.   However,   because  those
     investments are limited to a  comparatively  narrow segment of the economy,
     the Fund's investments are not as diversified as most mutual funds, and far
     less diversified than the broad  securitites  markets.  This means that the
     Fund tends to be more volatile  than other mutual funds,  and the values of
     its portfolio investments tend to go up and down more rapidly. As a result,
     the value of a Fund share may rise or fall rapidly.

     The real estate  industry is highly  cyclical,  and the value of securities
     issued by companies  doing business in that industry may fluctuate  widely.
     The real estate industry-- and, therefore, the performance of the Fund-- is
     highly  sensitive to  national,  regional  and local  economic  conditions,
     interest rates, property taxes, overbuilding and changes in rental income.
    
     INVESCO  uses  a  bottom-up   investment  approach  to  create  the  Fund's
     investment portfolio, focusing on company fundamentals and growth prospects
     when selecting securities. In general, the Fund emphasizes strongly managed
     companies that INVESCO  believes will generate  above-average  growth rates
     for the next three to five years.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE
   
     Performance information for the Fund is not included,  because the Fund was
     not in existence for a year at its fiscal year end.
    
FEES AND EXPENSES

 ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS
   
 VIF-REALTY FUND
 Management Fees                                  0.90%
 Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees            None
 Other Expenses (1)(2)(3)                         7.88%
 Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (1)(2)(3)   8.78%
    

     (1)Certain  expenses of the Fund are being absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO
        pursuant  to a  commitment  to the Fund.  After  absorption,  the Fund's
        "Other  Expenses" and "Total Annual Fund Operating  Expenses" were 1.00%
        and  1.90%,  respectively.  This  commitment  may be changed at any time
        following consultation with the board of directors.
   
     (2)The Fund's  actual  "Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were lower
        than the figures shown, because its custodian fees were reduced under an
        expense offset arrangements.  Because of an SEC requirement, the figures
        do not reflect these reductions.

     (3)The  expense  information  presented  in the table has been  restated to
        reflect a change in the administrative fee.
    
     EXAMPLE
       
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
    
     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower,  based on these  assumptions  your costs would have
     been:
   
     The following reflects the costs without the absorption of expenses:(1)
                                                       1 year    3 years
                                                       $861*     $2,488*

     (1)The following reflects the costs with the absorption of expenses:
        1 year    3 years
        $193*     $597*

[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

BEFORE ALLOCATING CONTRACT VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF
RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE  COMFORTABLE.  TAKE INTO ACCOUNT  FACTORS LIKE YOUR AGE,
CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.
   
     You  should  determine  the  level of risk with  which you are  comfortable
     before you allocate contract values to the Fund. The principal risks of any
     mutual fund, including the Fund, are:
    
     NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation ("FDIC") or any other agency,  unlike bank deposits such as CDs
     or savings accounts.
<PAGE>
     NO GUARANTEE. No mutual fund can guarantee that it will meet its investment
     objectives.

     POSSIBLE  LOSS  OF  INVESTMENT.   A  mutual  fund  cannot   guarantee  its
     performance,  nor assure you that the market value of your  investment will
     increase.  You may  lose  the  money  you  invest,  and the  Fund  will not
     reimburse you for any of these losses.

     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with changes
     in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.

     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.

[ARROW ICON] RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR INVESTMENTS

     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the  policies
     discussed  below in  determining  the  appropriateness  of allocating  your
     contract  values to the Fund.  See the Statement of Additional  Information
     for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  INVESCO  will monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices  vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of the
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.

     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.
   
     DEBT SECURITIES RISK
     Debt  securities  include bonds,  notes and other  securities that give the
     holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,  or both
     on a date in the  future  or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also are  often
     referred to as fixed income securities, even if the rate of interest varies
     over the life of the security.
    
<PAGE>
   
     Debt  securities  are  generally  subject to credit  risk and market  risk.
     Credit  risk is the risk that the issuer of the  security  may be unable to
     meet interest or principal  payments or both as they come due.  Market risk
     is the risk that the market value of the security may decline for a variety
     of reasons,  including  changes in interest  rates. An increase in interest
     rates  tends to reduce the market  values of debt  securities  in which the
     Fund  invests.  A decline in interest  rates  tends to increase  the market
     values of debt securities in which the Fund invests.

     Moody's  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")  ratings  provide a useful but not
     certain  guide to the credit  risk of many debt  securities.  The lower the
     rating of a debt  security,  the greater the credit risk the rating service
     assigns to the security. To compensate investors for accepting that greater
     risk,   lower-rated   securities  tend  to  offer  higher  interest  rates.
     Lower-rated  debt  securities are often referred to as "junk bonds." A debt
     security is considered  lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by Moody's or
     BB or less by S&P and is  considered to be  speculative.  Although the Fund
     may  invest in debt  securities  assigned  lower  grade  ratings  by S&P or
     Moody's,  the Fund's  investments are limited to debt securities rated B or
     higher by either S&P or Moody's.

     In addition to poor individual company performance in the marketplace or in
     its internal  management,  a significant  economic  downturn or increase in
     interest rates may cause issuers of debt securities to experience increased
     financial  problems  which could hurt their  ability to pay  principal  and
     interest  obligations,  to meet  projected  business  goals,  and to obtain
     additional  financing.  These  conditions  more severely  impact issuers of
     lower-rated  debt  securities.  The market for lower  rated  straight  debt
     securities  may not be as liquid as the market for  higher  rated  straight
     debt  securities.  Therefore,  INVESCO attempts to limit purchases of lower
     rated securities to securities having an established secondary market.

     Debt securities rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks
     of non-payment of principal or interest. Lower rated securities by Standard
     & Poor's  (categories  BB, B, CCC)  include  those which are  predominantly
     speculative  because of the issuer's perceived capacity to pay interest and
     repay  principal in  accordance  with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest
     degree of  speculation  and CCC a high  degree of  speculation.  While such
     bonds will likely have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
     are usually  outweighed by large  uncertainties  or major risk exposures to
     adverse conditions.

     JUNK BOND RISK
     The Fund invests in lower-grade  debt  securities,  commonly known as "junk
     bonds." Junk bonds  generally  pay higher  interest  rates than  comparable
     higher-grade  securities,  and thus can produce higher income for the Fund.
     However,  these higher  interest  rates are paid to compensate the Fund for
     the  additional  risk  that  it  takes  when  it  invests  in  junk  bonds.
     Specifically,  junk bonds are perceived by independent  rating  agencies as
     having  a  greater  risk  that  their  issuers  will not be able to pay the
     interest  and  principal  as they become due over the life of the bond.  In
     addition to the loss of interest payments,  the market value of a defaulted
     bond would likely drop, and the Fund would be forced to sell it at a loss.
    
<PAGE>
   
     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK

     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
         CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and a
         foreign currency may reduce the value of the Fund's investment in a 
         security valued in the foreign currency, or based on that currency 
         value.

         POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result in 
         unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
         REGULATORY RISK. Government regulations may affect the value of a 
         security. In foreign countries, securities markets that are less 
         regulated than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that are
         not allowed in the U.S.

         DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and
         a foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.

         EUROPEAN  ECONOMIC  AND  MONETARY  UNION.  Austria,  Belgium,  Finland,
         France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands,  Portugal
         and Spain are presently  members of the European  Economic and Monetary
         Union (the  "EMU")  which as of January 1, 1999  adopted  the euro as a
         common currency.  The national currencies will be sub-currencies of the
         euro  until  July 1,  2002,  at  which  time  the old  currencies  will
         disappear entirely.  Other European countries may adopt the euro in the
         future.
    
         The introduction of the euro presents some  uncertainties  and possible
         risks, which could adversely affect the value of securities held by the
         Fund.

         EMU  countries,  as a  single  market,  may  affect  future  investment
         decisions of the Fund. As the euro is implemented, there may be changes
         in the relative  strength and value of the U.S.  dollar and other major
         currencies,  as well as  possible  adverse tax  consequences.  The euro
         transition  by EMU  countries  - present  and  future - may  affect the
         fiscal and monetary levels of those participating countries.  There may
         be increased  levels of price  competition  among business firms within
         EMU countries and between businesses in EMU and non-EMU countries.  The
         outcome  of these  uncertainties  could have  unpredictable  effects on
         trade and commerce and result in increased volatility for all financial
         markets.

     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
<PAGE>
     DERIVATIVES RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are common  types of  derivatives  that the Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other instrument, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  instrument,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction with the Fund.

     LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
     Timely  information  about a security  or its  issuer  may be  unavailable,
     incomplete or inaccurate.  This risk is more common to securities issued by
     foreign  companies  and  companies  in emerging  markets  than it is to the
     securities of U.S.-based companies.
   
     The Fund generally  invests in companies  doing business in the real estate
     industry.  However, in an effort to diversify its holdings and provide some
     protection against the risk of other investments,  the Fund also may invest
     in other types of securities and other  financial  instruments as indicated
     in the  chart  below.  These  investments,  which  at any  given  time  may
     constitute a significant  portion of the Fund's  portfolio,  may have their
     own risks.

   DELAYED DELIVERY OR WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
  Ordinarily, the Fund purchases securities and pays for   Market and Interest Rate
  them in cash at the normal trade settle ment time. When  Risks
  the Fund purchases a delayed delivery or when-issued
  security, it promises to pay in the future  for
  example, when the security is actually available for
  delivery to the Fund. The Fund's obligation to pay and
  the interest rate it receives, in the case of debt
  securi ties, usually are fixed when the Fund promises
  to pay. Between the date the Fund promises to pay and
  the date the securities are actually received, the Fund
  receives no interest on its investment, and bears the
  risk that the market value of the when-issued security
  may decline.

</TABLE>

[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

     When  securities  markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.

[ARROW ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
   
     We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio.  Therefore, the Fund may
     have a high  portfolio  turnover  rate compared to many other mutual funds.
     The Fund had a portfolio  turnover rate for the fiscal year ended  December
     31, 1998 of 200%.
    
     A portfolio  turnover  rate of 200%,  for example,  is equivalent to a Fund
     buying and selling all of the  securities in its portfolio two times in the
     course of a year. A  comparatively  high turnover rate may result in higher
     brokerage commissions.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT
                            
INVESCO IS A SUBSIDIARY OF AMVESCAP PLC, AN INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
COMPANY THAT MANAGES  MORE THAN $275  BILLION IN ASSETS  WORLDWIDE.  AMVESCAP IS
BASED IN LONDON, WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE, NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA,
AND THE FAR EAST.
    

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
     INVESCO,  located  at 7800 East  Union  Avenue,  Denver,  Colorado,  is the
     investment  adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO  was  founded in 1932 and manages
     over $21.2 billion for more than 900,000  shareholders of 51 INVESCO mutual
     funds.  INVESCO  performs a wide variety of other  ser-vices for the Funds,
     including  administration  and transfer agency functions (the processing of
     purchases,  sales and exchanges of Fund shares).  INVESCO Realty  Advisors,
     Inc.  ("IRAI") is the sub-adviser to the Fund. A wholly owned subsidiary of
     INVESCO, INVESCO Distributors,  Inc. ("IDI"), is the Fund's distributor and
     is responsible for the sale of the Fund's shares.
    
     INVESCO, IRAI and IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.

     The Fund paid 0.90% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
     advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

<PAGE>
[INVESCO ICON] THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
   
     The Fund's  investments  are selected by a team of IRAI portfolio  managers
     that is collectively  responsible for the investment  decisions relating to
     the  Fund.  When we  refer to team  management  without  naming  individual
     portfolio  managers,  we mean a system by which a senior  investment policy
     group  sets  the  allocation  of  Fund  assets  and  risk  controls,  while
     individual  portfolio  managers select  individual  securities within those
     allocations.
    
[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE
   
CURRENT MARKET VALUE OF FUND ASSETS 
+ ACCRUED INTEREST & DIVIDENDS 
- - FUND DEBTS,
INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------
 / NUMBER OF SHARES
 = YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV)

     The value of Fund shares is likely to change daily.  This value is known as
     the Net Asset Value per share, or NAV. INVESCO  determines the market value
     of each investment in the Fund's portfolio each day that the New York Stock
     Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the  close  of  trading  on that  exchange
     (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time). Therefore,  shares of the Fund are not
     priced on days when the NYSE is closed,  which,  generally,  is on weekends
     and national  holidays in the U.S.
    
     NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
     Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
     dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
     dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
     shares.

     In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
     securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
     and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
     Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
     exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
     Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO  would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares on
     that day),  even  though  activity  on foreign  exchanges  could  result in
     changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

     The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
     the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
     investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
     Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

     Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
     one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
     consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
     federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
     for your contract.

<PAGE>

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

     NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME AND NET REALIZED  CAPITAL GAINS ARE  DISTRIBUTED TO
     SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

     The Fund  intends to  distribute  substantially  all of its net  investment
     income,  if any, in dividends to its shareholders.  For dividend  purposes,
     net investment  income  consists of all dividends or interest earned by the
     Fund's investments, minus the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee).
     All of the Fund's net  realized  capital  gains,  if any,  are  distributed
     periodically,   no  less  frequently  than  annually.   All  dividends  and
     distributions  of the Fund are reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund
     at net asset value.


[INVESCO ICON] VOTING RIGHTS

     Since the shares of the Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by
     you directly,  you will not vote shares of the Fund. Your insurance company
     will vote the shares that it holds as  required  by state and federal  law.
     Your  contract  prospectus  contains  more  information  on your  rights to
     instruct your insurance  company how to vote Fund shares held in connection
     with your contract.

[KEY ICON] INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES
 
FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND MARKET OUTLOOK, 
PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

     INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("INVESCO") is the investment adviser for the 
     Fund. Together with our affiliated companies, we at INVESCO control all 
     aspects of the management of the Fund.

     The Fund is used solely as an  investment  vehicle for variable  annuity or
     variable  life  insurance   contracts  issued  by  certain  life  insurance
     companies.  You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. As an owner of
     a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract that offers the Fund
     as an investment option,  however, you may allocate your contract values to
     a separate  account of the insurance  company that invests in shares of the
     Fund.

     Your  variable  annuity or  variable  life  insurance  contract  is offered
     through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
     including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
     to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
     issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
     prospectus for your contract.
   
     The Fund tries to buy securities  that will increase in value over the 
     long term.
    
   
     The Fund normally  invests at least 65% of its assets in equity  securities
     of companies  with market  capitalizations  of $1 billion or less.  INVESCO
     uses a bottom-up  investment  approach to the Fund's investment  portfolio,
     focusing  on  companies  that are in the  developing  stages of their  life
     cycles.  Using this approach,  we try to identify companies that we believe
     are undervalued in the marketplace,  have earnings which may be expected to
     grow faster than the U.S.  economy in general,  and/or offer the  potential
     for accelerated earnings growth due to rapid growth of sales, new products,
     management  changes,  or structural  changes in the economy.  The prices of
     securities  issued  by these  small  companies  tend to rise and fall  more
     rapidly than those of more established companies.  Therefore,  the value of
     shares of the Fund tends to rise and fall more rapidly than it would if the
     Fund invested in larger  companies.  Because of its strategy,  the Fund has
     relatively few investments in larger companies. The prices of securities of
     smaller  companies -- and also the Fund's price per share -- may move up or
     down more  rapidly  than  those of  larger  companies  or the  broad  stock
     markets.
    
<PAGE>
     The  remainder  of the  Fund's  assets can be  invested  in a wide range of
     securities that may or may not be issued by small companies. In addition to
     equity  securities,  the Fund can  invest in  foreign  securities  and debt
     securities, including so-called "junk bonds."

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE
   
     The bar chart  below  shows the  Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  ended
     December 31 (commonly  known as its "total  return") since  inception.  The
     table below shows average annual returns for various periods ended December
     31, 1998 for the Fund compared to the Russell 2000 Index.  The  information
     in the chart and table  illustrates  the  variability of the Fund's returns
     and how its performance  compared to a broad measure of market performance.
     The bar chart  provides  some  indication  of the risks of investing in the
     Fund by  showing  changes  in the  year to year  performance  of the  Fund.
     Remember,  past  performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in
     the future.(1)
    
     The  Fund's  returns  are  net of its  expenses,  but  do not  reflect  the
     additional  fees and  expenses of your  variable  annuity or variable  life
     insurance contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included,  the
     returns would be less than those shown.

     EXAMPLE
   
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower,  based on these  assumptions  your costs would have
     been:

     The following reflects the costs without absorption of expenses:(1)
                          1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
                          $1,218     $3,382    $5,227   $8,732
     

     (1)The following reflects the costs with the absorption of expenses:
        1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
        $190       $588      $1,011   $2,190
    
[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS
      
     BEFORE  ALLOCATING  CONTRACT  VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD  DETERMINE THE
     LEVEL OF RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE  COMFORTABLE.  TAKE INTO  ACCOUNT  FACTORS
     LIKE YOUR AGE, CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.

     You  should  determine  the  level of risk with  which you are  comfortable
     before you allocate contract values to the Fund. The principal risks of any
     mutual fund, including the Fund, are:
         
     NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation ("FDIC") or any other agency,  unlike bank deposits such as CDs
     or savings accounts.
     
     NO GUARANTEE. No mutual fund can guarantee that it will meet its investment
     objectives.
    
     POSSIBLE  LOSS  OF   INVESTMENT.   A  mutual  fund  cannot   guarantee  its
     performance,  nor assure you that the market value of your  investment will
     increase.  You may  lose  the  money  you  invest,  and the  Fund  will not
     reimburse you for any of these losses.

     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with changes
     in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.
<PAGE>
     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.

[ARROW ICON] RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR INVESTMENTS
  
     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the  policies
     discussed  below in  determining  the  appropriateness  of allocating  your
     contract  values to the Fund.  See the Statement of Additional  Information
     for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  INVESCO  will monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices  vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of the
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.

     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.
   
     DEBT SECURITIES RISK
     Debt  securities  include bonds,  notes and other  securities that give the
     holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,  or both
     on a date in the  future  or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also are  often
     referred to as fixed income securities, even if the rate of interest varies
     over the life of the security.

     Debt  securities  are  generally  subject to credit  risk and market  risk.
     Credit  risk is the risk that the issuer of the  security  may be unable to
     meet interest or principal  payments or both as they come due.  Market risk
     is the risk that the market value of the security may decline for a variety
     of reasons,  including  changes in interest  rates. An increase in interest
     rates  tends to reduce the market  values of debt  securities  in which the
     Fund  invests.  A decline in interest  rates  tends to increase  the market
     values of debt securities in which the Fund invests.
    
<PAGE>
   
     Moody's  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")  ratings  provide a useful but not
     certain  guide to the credit  risk of many debt  securities.  The lower the
     rating of a debt  security,  the greater the credit risk the rating service
     assigns to the security. To compensate investors for accepting that greater
     risk,   lower-rated   securities  tend  to  offer  higher  interest  rates.
     Lower-rated  debt  securities are often referred to as "junk bonds." A debt
     security is considered  lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by Moody's or
     BB or less by S&P and is usually considered to be speculative.

     In addition to poor individual company performance in the marketplace or in
     its internal  management,  a significant  economic  downturn or increase in
     interest rates may cause issuers of debt securities to experience increased
     financial  problems  which could hurt their  ability to pay  principal  and
     interest  obligations,  to meet  projected  business  goals,  and to obtain
     additional  financing.  These  conditions  more severely  impact issuers of
     lower-rated  debt  securities.  The market for lower  rated  straight  debt
     securities  may not be as liquid as the market for  higher  rated  straight
     debt  securities.  Therefore,  INVESCO attempts to limit purchases of lower
     rated securities to securities having an established secondary market.

     Debt securities rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks
     of non-payment of principal or interest. Lower rated securities by Standard
     & Poor's  (categories  BB, B, CCC)  include  those which are  predominantly
     speculative  because of the issuer's perceived capacity to pay interest and
     repay  principal in  accordance  with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest
     degree of  speculation  and CCC a high  degree of  speculation.  While such
     bonds will likely have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
     are usually  outweighed by large  uncertainties  or major risk exposures to
     adverse conditions.

     JUNK BOND RISK
     The Fund invests in lower-grade  debt  securities,  commonly known as "junk
     bonds." Junk bonds  generally  pay higher  interest  rates than  comparable
     higher-grade  securities,  and thus can produce higher income for the Fund.
     However,  these higher  interest  rates are paid to compensate the Fund for
     the  additional  risk  that  it  takes  when  it  invests  in  junk  bonds.
     Specifically,  junk bonds are perceived by independent  rating  agencies as
     having  a  greater  risk  that  their  issuers  will not be able to pay the
     interest  and  principal  as they become due over the life of the bond.  In
     addition to the loss of interest payments,  the market value of a defaulted
     bond would likely drop, and the Fund would be forced to sell it at a loss.

     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK
     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
        CURRENCY  RISK.  A change in the exchange  rate between U.S.  dollars
        and a foreign  currency  may  reduce  the  value of the  Fund's  
        investment  in a security valued in the foreign currency, or based on
        that currency value.
 
        POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result in 
        unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
        REGULATORY RISK. Government regulations may affect the value of a 
        security. In foreign countries, securities markets that are less 
        regulated than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that are
        not allowed in the U.S.

        DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and 
        a foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.

        EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION. Austria, Belgium, Finland, France,
        Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain
        are presently  members of the European  Economic and Monetary Union (the
        "EMU")  which  as of  January  1,  1999  adopted  the  euro as a  common
        currency.  The national  currencies will be  sub-currencies  of the euro
        until July 1,  2002,  at which time the old  currencies  will  disappear
        entirely. Other European countries may adopt the euro in the future.
    
        The  introduction of the euro presents some  uncertainties  and possible
        risks,  which could adversely affect the value of securities held by the
        Fund.
<PAGE>
        EMU  countries,  as  a  single  market,  may  affect  future  investment
        decisions of the Fund. As the euro is implemented,  there may be changes
        in the relative  strength  and value of the U.S.  dollar and other major
        currencies,  as well as  possible  adverse  tax  consequences.  The euro
        transition by EMU countries - present and future - may affect the fiscal
        and  monetary  levels  of those  participating  countries.  There may be
        increased  levels of price  competition  among business firms within EMU
        countries  and  between  businesses  in EMU and non-EMU  countries.  The
        outcome of these uncertainties could have unpredictable effects on trade
        and  commerce  and  result in  increased  volatility  for all  financial
        markets.

     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
     DERIVATIVES RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are  common  types  of  derivatives  that a Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other instrument, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  instrument,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction with the Fund.

     LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
     Timely  information  about a security  or its  issuer  may be  unavailable,
     incomplete or inaccurate.  This risk is more common to securities issued by
     foreign  companies  and  companies  in emerging  markets  than it is to the
     securities of U.S.-based companies.
   
     The Fund generally invests in equity securities with market capitalizations
     of $1 billion or less.  However, in an effort to diversify its holdings and
     provide some  protection  against the risk of other  investments,  the Fund
     also  may  invest  in  other  types  of  securities  and  other   financial
     instruments,  as indicated in the chart below. These investments,  which at
     any  given  time  may  constitute  a  significant  portion  of  the  Fund's
     portfolio, have their own risks.

[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

     When  securities   markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT
          
INVESCO IS A SUBSIDIARY OF AMVESCAP PLC, AN INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT 
MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT MANAGES MORE THAN $275 BILLION IN ASSETS WORLDWIDE.  
AMVESCAP IS BASED IN LONDON,  WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE, NORTH AND
SOUTH AMERICA, AND THE FAR EAST.
    
THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
INVESCO,  located at 7800 East Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado, is the investment
adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO was founded in 1932 and manages over $21.2 billion
for more than 900,000  shareholders of 51 INVESCO mutual funds. INVESCO performs
a wide variety of other  services for the Funds,  including  administration  and
transfer agency  functions (the processing of purchases,  sales and exchanges of

[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE

CURRENT  MARKET VALUE OF FUND ASSETS 
+ ACCRUED  INTEREST  AND  DIVIDENDS 
- - FUND DEBTS,
INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
- ------------------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV).

     The value of Fund shares is likely to change daily.  This value is known as
     the Net Asset Value per share, or NAV. INVESCO  determines the market value
     of each investment in the Fund's portfolio each day that the New York Stock
     Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the  close  of  trading  on that  exchange
     (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time). Therefore,  shares of the Fund are not
     priced on days when the NYSE is closed,  which,  generally,  is on weekends
     and national holidays in the U.S.
    
     NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
     Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
     dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
     dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
     shares.

     In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
     securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
     and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
     Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
     exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
     Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO  would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares on
     that day),  even  though  activity  on foreign  exchanges  could  result in
     changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES
     The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
     the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
     investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
     Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

     Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
     one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
     consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
     federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
     for your contract.

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

     NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME  AND NET  REALIZED  CAPITAL  GAINS  ARE 
     DISTRIBUTED  TO SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

     The Fund  intends to  distribute  substantially  all of its net  investment
     income,  if any, in dividends to its shareholders.  For dividend  purposes,
     net investment  income  consists of all dividends or interest earned by the
     Fund's investments, minus the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee).
     All of the Fund's net  realized  capital  gains,  if any,  are  distributed
     periodically,   no  less  frequently  than  annually.   All  dividends  and
     distributions of the Fund are reinvested in additional

[INVESCO ICON] VOTING RIGHTS
     Since the shares of the Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by
     you directly,  you will not vote shares of the Fund. Your insurance company
     will vote the shares that it holds as  required  by state and federal  law.
     Your  contract  prospectus  contains  more  information  on your  rights to
     instruct your insurance  company how to vote Fund shares held in connection
     with your contract.

[KEY ICON] INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES
 
FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND MARKET OUTLOOK, 
PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

     INVESCO Funds Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO") is the  investment  adviser for the
     Fund.  Together with our affiliated  companies,  we at INVESCO  control all
     aspects of the management of the Fund.

     The Fund is used solely as an  investment  vehicle for variable  annuity or
     variable  life  insurance   contracts  issued  by  certain  life  insurance
     companies.  You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. As an owner of
     a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract that offers the Fund
     as an investment option,  however, you may allocate your contract values to
     a separate  account of the insurance  company that invests in shares of the
     Fund.

     Your  variable  annuity or  variable  life  insurance  contract  is offered
     through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
     including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
     to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
     issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
     prospectus for your contract.
   
     The Fund is  aggressivley  managed.  Although  the Fund can  invest in debt
     securities, it primarily invests in equity securities that INVESCO believes
     will rise in price  faster than other  investments,  as well as options and
     other   investments  whose  value  is  based  upon  the  values  of  equity
     securities.

     The Fund seeks capital  appreciation  and normally  invests at least 80% of
     its  total  assets  in  the  equity  securities  of  companies  engaged  in
     technology-related  industries.  These  include,  but are not  limited  to,
     communications,  computers,  video, electronics,  oceanography,  office and
     factory automation,  and robotics.  Many of these products and services are
     subject  to rapid  obsolescence,  which may lower the  market  value of the
     securities  of the  companies in this sector.  The Fund's  investments  are
     diversified across the technology sector. However,  because the investments
     are limited to a  comparatively  narrow segment of the economy,  the Fund's
     investments  are not as  diversified  as most  mutual  funds,  and far less
     diversified  than the broad  securities  markets.  This means that the Fund
     tends to be more  volatile  than other mutual  funds,  and the value of its
     portfolio investments tend to go up and down more rapidly. As a result, the
     value of a Fund share may rise or fall rapidly.
    
     A core  portion of the  Fund's  portfolio  is  invested  in  market-leading
     technology  companies that we believe will maintain or improve their market
     share  regardless  of overall  economic  conditions.  These  companies  are
     usually large,  established firms which are leaders in their field and have
     a strategic advantage over many of their competitors.  The remainder of the
     Fund's  portfolio  consists of  faster-growing,  more  volatile  technology
     companies that INVESCO believes to be emerging leaders in their fields. The
     market  prices of these  companies  tend to rise and fall more rapidly than
     those of larger, more established companies.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE
   
     The bar chart  below  shows the  Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  ended
     December 31 (commonly  known as its "total  return") since  inception.  The
     table below shows average annual returns for various periods ended December
     31, 1998 for the Fund compared to the S&P 500 Index. The information in the
     chart and table  illustrates  the variability of the Fund's returns and how
     its performance compared to a broad measure of market performance.  The bar
     chart  provides  some  indication  of the risks of investing in the Fund by
     showing changes in the year to year performance of the Fund. Remember, past
     performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.(1)
    
     The  Fund's  returns  are  net of its  expenses,  but  do not  reflect  the
     additional  fees and  expenses of your  variable  annuity or variable  life
     insurance contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included,  the
     returns would be less than those shown.

  (1)The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index considered  representative  of the
     performance  of the broad U.S.  stock market.  Please keep in mind that the
     index does not pay brokerage, management or administrative expenses, all of
     which are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its annual  return.  

  (2)Total return figures include reinvested dividends and capital gain 
     distributions, and include the effect of the Fund's expenses.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (1)(2)(3)   6.60%
                             
    

     (1)Certain  expenses of the Fund are being absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO
        pursuant  to a  commitment  to the Fund.  After  absorption,  the Fund's
        "Other  Expenses" and "Total Annual Fund Operating  Expenses" were 0.65%
        and  1.40%,  respectively.  This  commitment  may be changed at any time
        following consultation with the board of directors.
   
     (2)The Fund's  actual  "Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were lower
        than the figures shown, because its custodian fees were reduced under an
        expense offset arrangement.  Because of an SEC requirement,  the figures
        shown do not reflect these reductions.

     (3)The  expense  information  presented  in the table has been  restated to
        reflect a change in the administrative fee.

     EXAMPLE
   
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower,  based on these  assumptions  your costs would have
     been:

     The following  reflects the costs without the absorption of expenses:(1)
                                    1 year    3 years   5 years  10 years
                                    $655      $1,993    $3,171   $6,095

     (1)The following reflects the costs with the absorption of expenses:
        1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
        $143       $443      $766     $1,680
    
[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

     BEFORE  ALLOCATING  CONTRACT  VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD  DETERMINE THE
     LEVEL OF RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE  COMFORTABLE.  TAKE INTO  ACCOUNT  FACTORS
     LIKE YOUR AGE, CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.
   
     You  should  determine  the  level of risk with  which you are  comfortable
     before you allocate contract values to the Fund. The principal risks of any
     mutual fund, including the Fund, are:
    
     NOT INSURED. Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation ("FDIC") or any other agency,  unlike bank deposits such as CDs
     or savings accounts.

     NO GUARANTEE. No mutual fund can guarantee that it will meet its investment
     objectives.

     POSSIBLE  LOSS  OF  INVESTMENT.   A  mutual  fund  cannot   guarantee  its
     performance,  nor assure you that the market value of your  investment will
     increase.  You may  lose  the  money  you  invest,  and the  Fund  will not
     reimburse you for any of these losses.

     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with changes
     in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.

     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.

[ARROW ICON] RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR INVESTMENTS

     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the  policies
     discussed  below in  determining  the  appropriateness  of allocating  your
     contract  values to the Fund.  See the Statement of Additional  Information
     for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  INVESCO  will monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices  vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of the
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.

     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.
   
     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK
     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
          CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S.  dollars and
          a foreign currency may reduce the value of the Fund's  investment in a
          security  valued in the foreign  currency,  or based on that  currency
          value.

          POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result in
          unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
          REGULATORY  RISK.  Government  regulations  may  affect the value of a
          security.  In  foreign  countries,  securities  markets  that are less
          regulated than those in the U.S.may permit trading  practices that are
          not allowed in the U.S.

          DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and
          a foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.

          EUROPEAN  ECONOMIC  AND MONETARY  UNION.  Austria,  Belgium,  Finland,
          France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal
          and Spain are presently  members of the European Economic and Monetary
          Union (the  "EMU")  which as of January 1, 1999  adopted the euro as a
          common currency. The national currencies will be sub-currencies of the
          euro  until  July 1,  2002,  at  which  time the old  currencies  will
          disappear entirely. Other European countries may adopt the euro in the
          future.
    
          The introduction of the euro presents some  uncertainties and possible
          risks,  which could  adversely  affect the value of securities held by
          the Fund.

          EMU  countries,  as a single  market,  may  affect  future  investment
          decisions  of the  Fund.  As the  euro is  implemented,  there  may be
          changes  in the  relative  strength  and value of the U.S.  dollar and
          other major currencies,  as well as possible adverse tax consequences.
          The euro transition by EMU countries - present and future - may affect
          the fiscal and monetary levels of those participating countries. There
          may be increased  levels of price  competition  among  business  firms
          within  EMU  countries  and  between  businesses  in EMU  and  non-EMU
          countries. The outcome of these uncertainties could have unpredictable
          effects on trade and commerce and result in increased  volatility  for
          all financial markets.
<PAGE>
     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
     DERIVATIVES RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are common  types of  derivatives  that the Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other instrument, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  instrument,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction with the Fund.

     LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
     Timely  information  about a security  or its  issuer  may be  unavailable,
     incomplete or inaccurate.  This risk is more common to securities issued by
     foreign  companies  and  companies  in emerging  markets  than it is to the
     securities of U.S.-based companies.
   
     The Fund  generally  invests in equity  securities of companies  engaged in
     technology  related  industries.  However,  in an effort to  diversify  its
     holdings and provide some protection against the risk of other investments,
     the Fund also may invest in other types of securities  and other  financial
     instruments as indicated in the chart below.  These  investments,  which at
     any  given  time  may  constitute  a  significant  portion  of  the  Fund's
     portfolio, may have their own risks.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
    

[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

     When  securities  markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.
<PAGE>
[ARROW ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
   
     We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio.  Therefore, the Fund may
     have a high  portfolio  turnover  rate compared to many other mutual funds.
     The Fund had a portfolio  turnover rate for the fiscal year ended  December
     31, 1998 of 239%.
    
     A portfolio  turnover  rate of 200%,  for example,  is equivalent to a Fund
     buying and selling all of the  securities in its portfolio two times in the
     course of a year. A  comparatively  high turnover rate may result in higher
     brokerage commissions.

[INVESCO ICON]FUND MANAGEMENT
                                                        
     INVESCO IS A  SUBSIDIARY  OF  AMVESCAP  PLC,  AN  INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT
     MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT MANAGES MORE THAN $275 BILLION IN ASSETS WORLDWIDE.
     AMVESCAP IS BASED IN LONDON,  WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE,  NORTH
     AND SOUTH AMERICA, AND THE FAR EAST.
    
     THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
     INVESCO,  located  at 7800 East  Union  Avenue,  Denver,  Colorado,  is the
     investment  adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO  was  founded in 1932 and manages
     over $21.2 billion for more than 900,000  shareholders of 51 INVESCO mutual
     funds.  INVESCO  performs a wide  variety of other  services for the Funds,
     including  administration  and transfer agency functions (the processing of
     purchases,  sales and exchanges of Fund shares).  A wholly owned subsidiary
     of INVESCO,  INVESCO Distributors,  Inc. ("IDI"), is the Fund's distributor
     and is responsible for the sale of the Fund's shares.
    
     INVESCO and IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.

     The Fund paid 0.75% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
     advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.


[INVESCO ICON] THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
   
     The following  individual is responsible  for the day-to-day  management of
     the Fund's portfolio holdings:

     WILLIAM R. KEITHLER,  a Chartered Financial Analyst, has been the portfolio
     manager of the Technology Fund since January 1999. He is also a senior vice
     president of INVESCO.  Bill was previously a portfolio  manager with Berger
     Associates,  Inc. (1993 to 1998) and a portfolio manager with INVESCO (1986
     to 1993).  He received an M.S.  from the  University of Wisconsin - Madison
     and a B.A. from Webster College.

     Bill Keithler is a member of the INVESCO Sector Team, which is co-led by
     himself and John R. Schroer.

[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE
   
CURRENT  MARKET  VALUE OF FUND ASSETS 
+ ACCRUED  INTEREST  AND  DIVIDENDS 
- - FUND DEBTS,
INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV).
    
   
     The value of Fund shares is likely to change daily.  This value is known as
     the Net Asset Value per share, or NAV. INVESCO  determines the market value
     of each investment in the Fund's portfolio each day that the New York Stock
     Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the  close  of  trading  on that  exchange
     (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time). Therefore,  shares of the Fund are not
     priced on days when the NYSE is closed,  which,  generally,  is on weekends
     and national holidays in the U.S.
    
     NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
     Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
     dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
     dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
     shares.

     In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
     securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
     and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
     Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
     exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
     Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares for
     you on that day), even though activity on foreign exchanges could result in
     changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

     The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
     the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
     investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
     Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

     Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
     one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
     consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
     federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
     for your contract.

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

     NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME AND NET REALIZED  CAPITAL GAINS ARE  DISTRIBUTED TO
     SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

     The Fund  intends to  distribute  substantially  all of its net  investment
     income,  if any, in dividends to its shareholders.  For dividend  purposes,
     net investment  income  consists of all dividends or interest earned by the
     Fund's investments, minus the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee).
     All of the Fund's net  realized  capital  gains,  if any,  are  distributed
     periodically,   no  less  frequently  than  annually.   All  dividends  and
     distributions  of the Fund are reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund
     at net asset value.

[INVESCO ICON]  VOTING RIGHTS

     Since the shares of the Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by
     you directly,  you will not vote shares of the Fund. Your insurance company
     will vote the shares that it holds as  required  by state and federal  law.
     Your  contract  prospectus  contains  more  information  on your  rights to
     instruct your insurance  company how to vote Fund shares held in connection
     with your contract.

[KEY ICON] INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES
 
FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND MARKET OUTLOOK, 
PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

     INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("INVESCO") is the investment adviser for the
     Fund. Together with our affiliated companies, we at INVESCO control all
     aspects of the management of the Fund.

     The Fund is used  solely  as an  investment  vehicle  for  variable  
     annuity  or variable life insurance  contracts  issued by certain life 
     insurance  companies. You  cannot  purchase  shares of the Fund  directly.
     As an owner of a  variable annuity  or  variable  life  insurance  contract
     that  offers  the  Fund  as an investment option,  however, you may 
     allocate your contract values to a separate account of the insurance 
     company that invests in shares of the Fund.
    
     Your  variable  annuity or  variable  life  insurance  contract  is offered
     through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
     including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
     to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
     issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
     prospectus for your contract.

     The Fund attempts to provide you with high total return through both growth
     and current income from those investments. It normally invests at least 30%
     of its assets in common stocks of companies with a strong history of paying
     regular dividends and 30% of its assets in debt securities. Debt securities
     include obligations of the U.S.  governments and government  agencies.  The
     remaining 40% of the Fund is allocated among these and other investments at
     INVESCO's  discretion,  based upon  current  business,  economic and market
     conditions.

     INVESCO  considers a combination  of historic  financial  results,  current
     prices for stocks and the current  yield to maturity  available in the debt
     securities markets. The return that INVESCO believes is available from each
     category of investments is weighed against the returns  expected from other
     categories to determine the actual allocations. This analysis is continual,
     and is updated with current market information.
   
     The Fund is managed  in the value  style.  That  means we seek  securities,
     particularly  stocks,  that are  currently  undervalued  by the  market  --
     companies that are performing  well, or have solid management and products,
     but whose  stock  price does not  reflect  that  value.  Through  our value
     process, we seek to provide reasonably consistent returns over a variety of
     market cycles. Although the Fund is subject to a number of risks that could
     affect is  performance,  its principal risk is market risk -- that is, that
     the  price of the  securities  in its  portfolio  will rise and fall due to
     price movements in the securities  markets,  and the securities held in the
     Fund's  portfolio  may  decline  in value more than the  overall  securties
     markets.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE
   
     The bar chart  below  shows the  Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  ended
     December 31 (commonly  known as its "total  return") since  inception.  The
     table below shows average annual returns for various periods ended December
     31,  1998  for  the  Fund  compared  to the S&P 500  Index  and the  Lehman
     Government/Corporate  Bond Index.  The  information  in the chart and table
     illustrates  the  variability of the Fund's returns and how its performance
     compared to a broad measure of market  performance.  The bar chart provides
     some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in
     the year to year performance of the Fund.  Remember,  past performance does
     not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. (1)
    
     The  Fund's  returns  are  net of its  expenses,  but  do not  reflect  the
     additional  fees and  expenses of your  variable  annuity or variable  life
     insurance contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included,  the
     returns would be less than those shown.

   the performance  of the  broad  U.S.  stock  market,  while  the  Lehman  
   Government/Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged index indicative of the broad
   fixed-income and  high-yield  markets.  Please  keep  in mind  that  the  
   indexes  do not pay brokerage,  management, or administrative expenses, all 
   of which are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its annual return.
(2)Total  return  figures  include   reinvested   dividends  and  capital  gain
   distributions, and include the effect of the Fund's expenses.
    

FEES AND EXPENSES

Management Fees                                   0.75%

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses(1)(2)(3)     1.24%

     (1)Certain  expenses of the Fund are being absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO
        pursuant  to a  commitment  to the Fund.  After  absorption,  the Fund's
        "Other  Expenses" and "Total Annual Fund Operating  Expenses" were 0.42%
        and  1.17%,  respectively.  This  commitment  may be changed at any time
        following consultation with the board of directors.

     (2)The Fund's  actual  "Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were lower
        than the figures shown, because its custodian fees were reduced under an
        expense offset arrangement.  Because of an SEC requirement,  the figures
        shown do not reflect these reductions.

     EXAMPLE
   
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
    
     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
   
     The following  reflects the costs without the absorption of expenses:(1)
                                        1 year   3 years   5 years   10 years
                                         $126     $393      $681      $1,500

     (1)The following reflects the costs with the absorption of expenses:
        1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
         $119       $372      $644     $1,420
    
[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

BEFORE ALLOCATING CONTRACT VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF
RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE  COMFORTABLE.  TAKE INTO ACCOUNT  FACTORS LIKE YOUR AGE,
CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.
   
     You should determine the level of risk with which you are comfortable 
     before you allocate  contract  values to the Fund. The principal  risks of
     any mutual fund, including the Fund, are:
         
     NOT INSURED. Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit
     Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other agency, unlike bank
     deposits such as CDs or savings accounts.

     NO GUARANTEE. No mutual fund can guarantee that it will meet its
     investment objectives.

     POSSIBLE  LOSS  OF  INVESTMENT.   A  mutual  fund  cannot   guarantee  its
     performance,  nor assure you that the market value of your  investment will
     increase.  You may  lose  the  money  you  invest,  and the  Fund  will not
     reimburse you for any of these losses.

     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with
     changes in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.

     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.
<PAGE>
[ARROW ICON] RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICULAR INVESTMENTS

     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the  policies
     discussed  below in  determining  the  appropriateness  of allocating  your
     contract  values to the Fund.  See the Statement of Additional  Information
     for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  NVESCO  will  monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of your
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.

     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.
   
     DEBT SECURITIES RISK
     Debt  securities  include bonds,  notes and other  securities that give the
     holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,  or both
     on a date in the  future  or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also are  often
     referred to as fixed income securities, even if the rate of interest varies
     over the life of the security.

     Debt  securities  are  generally  subject to credit  risk and market  risk.
     Credit  risk is the risk that the issuer of the  security  may be unable to
     meet interest or principal  payments or both as they come due.  Market risk
     is the risk that the market value of the security may decline for a variety
     of reasons,  including  changes in interest  rates. An increase in interest
     rates  tends to reduce the market  values of debt  securities  in which the
     Fund  invests.  A decline in interest  rates  tends to increase  the market
     values of debt securities in which the Fund invests.

     Moody's  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")  ratings  provide a useful but not
     certain  guide to the credit  risk of many debt  securities.  The lower the
     rating of a debt  security,  the greater the credit risk the rating service
     assigns to the security. To compensate investors for accepting that greater
     risk,   lower-rated   securities  tend  to  offer  higher  interest  rates.
     Lower-rated  debt  securities are often referred to as "junk bonds." A debt
     security is considered  lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by Moody's or
     BB or less by S&P, and is usually considered to be speculative.

     In addition to poor individual company performance in the marketplace or in
     its internal  management,  a significant  economic  downturn or increase in
     interest rates may cause issuers of debt securities to experience increased
     financial  problems  which could hurt their  ability to pay  principal  and
     interest  obligations,  to meet  projected  business  goals,  and to obtain
     additional  financing.  These  conditions  more severely  impact issuers of
     lower-rated  debt  securities.  The market for lower  rated  straight  debt
     securities  may not be as liquid as the market for  higher  rated  straight
     debt  securities.  Therefore,  INVESCO attempts to limit purchases of lower
     rated securities to securities having an established secondary market.

     Debt securities rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks
     of non-payment of principal or interest. Lower rated securities by Standard
     & Poor's  (categories  BB, B, CCC)  include  those which are  predominantly
     speculative  because of the issuer's perceived capacity to pay interest and
     repay  principal in  accordance  with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest
     degree of  speculation  and CCC a high  degree of  speculation.  While such
     bonds will likely have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
     are usually  outweighed by large  uncertainties  or major risk exposures to
     adverse conditions.
    
<PAGE>
   
     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK
     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
       CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and
       a foreign currency may reduce the value of the Fund's investment in a
       security valued in the foreign currency, or based on that currency
       value.

       POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result
       in unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
       REGULATORY RISK. Government regulations may affect the value of a
       security. In foreign countries, securities markets that are less
       regulated than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that
       are not allowed in the U.S.

       DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S.
       and a foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of
       investments.

       EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION. Austria,  Belgium, Finland, France,
       Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands,  Portugal and Spain
       are presently  members of the European  Economic and Monetary  Union (the
       "EMU") which as of January 1, 1999 adopted the euro as a common currency.
       The national  currencies will be sub-currencies of the euro until July 1,
       2002, at which time the old  currencies  will disappear  entirely.  Other
       European countries may adopt the euro in the future.
    
       The  introduction  of the euro presents some  uncertainties  and possible
       risks,  which could adversely  affect the value of securities held by the
       Fund.

       EMU countries, as a single market, may affect future investment decisions
       of the Fund.  As the euro is  implemented,  there may be  changes  in the
       relative   strength  and  value  of  the  U.S.  dollar  and  other  major
       currencies,  as well as  possible  adverse  tax  consequences.  The  euro
       transition  by EMU countries - present and future - may affect the fiscal
       and  monetary  levels  of those  participating  countries.  There  may be
       increased  levels of price  competition  among  business firms within EMU
       countries  and  between  businesses  in EMU and  non-EMU  countries.  The
       outcome of these uncertainties could have unpredictable  effects on trade
       and  commerce  and  result  in  increased  volatility  for all  financial
       markets.

     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
<PAGE>
     DERIVATIVES RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are common  types of  derivatives  that the Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other instrument, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  instrument,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction with the Fund.

     LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
     Timely  information  about a security  or its  issuer  may be  unavailable,
     incomplete or inaccurate.  This risk is more common to securities issued by
     foreign  companies  and  companies  in emerging  markets  than it is to the
     securities of U.S.-based companies.
   
     The Fund generally  invests in common stocks and debt securities.  However,
     in an effort to diversify its holdings and provide some protection  against
     the risk of other  investments,  the Fund also may invest in other types of
     securities and other financial instruments as indicated in the chart below.
     These  investments,  which at any given time may  constitute a  significant
     portion of the Fund's portfolio, may have their own risks.

 A contract under which the seller of a security agrees    Credit and Counterparty
 to buy it back at an agreed-upon price and time in the    Risks
 future.

 RULE 144A SECURITIES
 Securities that are not registered, but which are bought  Liquidity Risk
 and sold solely by institutional  investors.  The Fund 
 considers many Rule 144A securities to be "liquid," 
 although the market for such securities typically is
 less active than the public securities markets.

[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

     When  securities   markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT
   
INVESCO IS A SUBSIDIARY OF AMVESCAP PLC, AN INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
COMPANY THAT MANAGES  MORE THAN $275  BILLION IN ASSETS  WORLDWIDE.  AMVESCAP IS
BASED IN LONDON, WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE, NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA,
AND THE FAR EAST.
    
THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
     INVESCO,  located at 7800 East Union Avenue, Denver,  Colorado, is the
     investment  adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO  was  founded in 1932 and manages
     over $21.2 billion for more than 900,000  shareholders of 51 INVESCO mutual
     funds.  INVESCO  performs a wide  variety of other  services for the Funds,
     including  administration  and transfer agency functions (the processing of
     purchases, sales and exchanges of Fund shares). INVESCO Capital Management,
     Inc.  ("ICM") is the sub-adviser to the Fund. A wholly owned  subsidiary of
     INVESCO, INVESCO Distributors,  Inc. ("IDI"), is the Fund's distributor and
     is responsible for the sale of the Fund's shares.
    
     INVESCO, ICM and IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.
   
     The Fund paid 0.75% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
     advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
    
<PAGE>
[INVESCO ICON] THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
   
     The following  individuals  are primarily  responsible  for the  day-to-day
     management of the Fund's portfolio holdings:
    
   
     EDWARD C. MITCHELL, a Chartered Financial Analyst, has managed the
     Fund since 1994.  He joined INVESCO in 1979, and manages other INVESCO
     portfolios for investors.  Ed also is Chairman and President of INVESCO
     Capital Management.  He received his M.B.A. from the University of
     Colorado and his B.A. from the University of Virginia.

     DAVID S. GRIFFIN, a Chartered  Financial Analyst,  has co-managed the Fund
     since 1994.  He has been a portfolio  manager for INVESCO  since 1991,  and
     before  that was a mutual  fund sales  representative  with  INVESCO.  Dave
     received  his MBA from the  College of William  and Mary and his B.A.  from
     Ohio Wesleyan University.
    
[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE
   
CURRENT  MARKET  VALUE OF FUND ASSETS 
+ ACCRUED  INTEREST  AND  DIVIDENDS 
- - FUND DEBTS,
INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
- -------------------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV).

     The value of Fund  shares is likely  to change  daily.  This  value is
     known as the Net Asset  Value per share,  or NAV.  INVESCO  determines  the
     market value of each  investment in the Fund's  portfolio each day that the
     New York Stock  Exchange  ("NYSE") is open, at the close of trading on that
     exchange (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time). Therefore, shares of the Fund
     are not priced on days when the NYSE is  closed,  which,  generally,  is on
     weekends and national holidays in the U.S.
    
     NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
     Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
     dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
     dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
     shares.

     In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
     securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
     and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
     Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
     exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
     Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO  would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares on
     that day),  even  though  activity  on foreign  exchanges  could  result in
     changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.
<PAGE>
[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

     The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
     the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
     investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
     Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

     Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
     one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
     consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
     federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
     for your contract.

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME  AND NET  REALIZED  CAPITAL  GAINS  ARE  DISTRIBUTED  TO
SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

     The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment
     income,  if any, in dividends to its shareholders.  For dividend  purposes,
     net investment  income  consists of all dividends or interest earned by the
     Fund's investments, minus the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee).
     All of the Fund's net  realized  capital  gains,  if any,  are  distributed
     periodically,   no  less  frequently  than  annually.   All  dividends  and
     distributions  of the Fund are reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund
     at net asset value.

[INVESCO ICON] VOTING RIGHTS

     Since the shares of the Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by
     you directly,  you will not vote shares of the Fund. Your insurance company
     will vote the shares that it holds as  required  by state and federal  law.
     Your  contract  prospectus  contains  more  information  on your  rights to
     instruct your insurance  company how to vote Fund shares held in connection
     with your contract.

[KEY ICON] INVESTMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES
 
FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FUND'S CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND MARKET OUTLOOK, 
PLEASE SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

     INVESCO Funds Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO") is the  investment  adviser for the
     Fund.  Together with our affiliated  companies,  we at INVESCO  control all
     aspects  of the  management  of the  Fund.  
     
     The Fund is used solely as an  investment  vehicle for variable  annuity or
     variable  life  insurance   contracts  issued  by  certain  life  insurance
     companies.  You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. As an owner of
     a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract that offers the Fund
     as an investment option,  however, you may allocate your contract values to
     a separate  account of the insurance  company that invests in shares of the
     Fund.

     Your  variable  annuity or  variable  life  insurance  contract  is offered
     through its own prospectus, which contains information about that contract,
     including how to purchase the contract and how to allocate  contract values
     to the Fund. INVESCO and the Fund do not control the insurance company that
     issues your  contract and are not  responsible  for anything  stated in the
     prospectus for your contract.

     The Fund seeks capital appreciation and income.

     The Fund is  aggressively  managed.  Although  the Fund can  invest in debt
     securities, it primarily invests in equity securities that INVESCO believes
     will rise in price  faster than other  investments,  as well as options and
     other   investments  whose  value  is  based  upon  the  values  of  equity
     securities.

     The Fund  normally  invests at least 80% of its assets in  companies  doing
     business in the  utilities  economic  sector.  The  remainder of the Fund's
     assets are not required to be invested in the sector.  To determine whether
     a potential  investment is truly doing business in a particular  sector,  a
     company must meet at least one of the following tests:

     * At  least  50% of its  gross  income  or its  net  sales  must  come  
       from activities in the sector;
     * At least 50% of its assets must be devoted to producing  revenues from 
       the sector; or
     * Based  on other  available  information,  we  determine  that its  
       primary business is within the sector.

     INVESCO  uses  a  bottom-up   investment  approach  to  create  the  Fund's
     investment portfolio, focusing on company fundamentals and growth prospects
     when selecting securities. In general, the Fund emphasizes strongly managed
     companies that INVESCO  believes will generate  above-average  growth rates
     for the next three to five years.  We prefer markets and  industries  where
     leadership is in a few hands, and we tend to avoid  slower-growing  markets
     or industries.

     The Fund invests  primarily  in the equity  securities  of  companies  that
     produce,  generate,  transmit or distribute natural gas or electricity,  as
     well as in companies that provide  telecommunications  services,  including
     local, long distance and wireless, and excluding broadcasting.
<PAGE>
     The  Fund's  investments  are  diversified  across  the  utilities  sector.
     However,  because those  investments are limited to a comparatively  narrow
     segment of the economy,  the Fund's  investments  are not as diversified as
     most  mutual  funds,  and far less  diversified  than the broad  securities
     markets.  This  means that the Fund  tends to be more  volatile  than other
     mutual funds, and the values of its portfolio investments tend to go up and
     down more rapidly.  As a result,  the value of your  investment in the Fund
     may  rise  or  fall  rapidly.  Governmental  regulation,   difficulties  in
     obtaining adequate financing and investment return,  environmental  issues,
     prices of fuel for  electric  generation,  availability  of natural gas and
     risks  associated  with nuclear power  facilities may adversely  affect the
     market value of the Fund's holdings.

     INVESCO seeks to keep the portfolio  divided among the electric  utilities,
     natural  gas  and  telecommunications  industries.  Weightings  within  the
     various  industry  segments are  continually  monitored to prevent  extreme
     tilts in the Fund's portfolio, and INVESCO adjusts the portfolio weightings
     depending on the prevailing economic conditions.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE
   
     The bar chart  below  shows the  Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  ended
     December 31 (commonly  known as its "total  return") since  inception.  The
     table below shows average annual returns for various periods ended December
     31, 1998 for the Fund compared to the Dow Jones  Utilities  Average  Index.
     The  information in the chart and table  illustrates the variability of the
     Fund's  returns  and how its  performance  compared  to a broad  measure of
     market performance.  The bar chart provides some indication of the risks of
     investing in the Fund by showing changes in the year to year performance of
     the Fund.  Remember,  past  performance does not indicate how the Fund will
     perform in the future.(1)
    
     The  Fund's  returns  are  net of its  expenses,  but  do not  reflect  the
     additional  fees and  expenses of your  variable  annuity or variable  life
     insurance contract. If those contract fees and expenses were included,  the
     returns would be less than those shown.

    (1)Certain  expenses of the Fund are being absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO
       pursuant  to a  commitment  to the Fund.  After  absorption,  the Fund's
       "Other  Expenses" and "Total Annual Fund Operating  Expenses" were 0.48%
       and  1.08%,  respectively.  This  commitment  may be changed at any time
       following consultation with the board of directors.
   
    (2)The Fund's  actual  "Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were lower
       than the figures shown, because its custodian fees were reduced under an
       expense offset arrangement.  Because of an SEC requirement,  the figures
       shown do not reflect these reductions.

    (3)The  expense  information  presented  in the able has been  restated  to
       reflect a change in the administrative fee.
    
     EXAMPLE
       
     This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing in the
     Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

     This Example assumes a $10,000  allocation to the Fund for the time periods
     indicated and does not reflect any of the fees or expenses of your variable
     annuity  or  variable  insurance  contract.  The  Example  also  assumes  a
     hypothetical  5% return each year,  and assumes  that the Fund's  operating
     expenses remain the same.  Although the Fund's actual costs and performance
     may be higher or lower,  based on these  assumptions  your costs would have
     been:

     The following reflects the costs without the absorption of expenses: (1)
                                    1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
                                    $187       $579      $995     $2,159
     
     (1)The following reflects the costs with the absorption of expenses:
        1 year   3 years   5 years  10 years

[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

BEFORE ALLOCATING CONTRACT VALUES TO THE FUND, YOU SHOULD DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF
RISK WITH WHICH YOU ARE  COMFORTABLE.  TAKE INTO ACCOUNT  FACTORS LIKE YOUR AGE,
CAREER, INCOME LEVEL, AND TIME HORIZON.
   
     You  should  determine  the  level of risk with  which you are  comfortable
     before you allocate contract values to the Fund. The principal risks of any
     mutual fund, including the Fund, are:
    
     NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit
     Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC")  or any  other  agency,  unlike  bank
     deposits such as CDs or savings accounts.

     NO GUARANTEE. No mutual fund can guarantee that it will meet its
     investment objectives.

     POSSIBLE LOSS OF INVESTMENT.A mutual fund cannot guarantee its performance,
     nor assure you that the market value of your investment will increase.  You
     may lose the  money you  invest,  and the Fund  will not  reimburse  you 
     for any of these losses.
<PAGE>
     VOLATILITY. The price of Fund shares will increase or decrease with
     changes in the value of the Fund's underlying investments.

     YEAR 2000. Many computer  systems in use today may not be able to recognize
     any date after  December 31, 1999.  If these  systems are not fixed by that
     date, it is possible that they could generate erroneous information or fail
     altogether.  INVESCO has  committed  substantial  resources in an effort to
     make sure that its own major computer  systems will continue to function on
     and after January 1, 2000. Of course,  INVESCO  cannot fix systems that are
     beyond its  control.  If  INVESCO's  own  systems,  or the systems of third
     parties upon which it relies,  do not perform  properly  after December 31,
     1999, the Fund could be adversely affected.

     In addition,  the markets for, or values of,  securities  in which the Fund
     invests  may  possibly  be hurt by computer  failures  affecting  portfolio
     investments  or  trading of  securities  beginning  January  1,  2000.  For
     example, improperly functioning computer systems could result in securities
     trade  settlement  problems and  liquidity  issues,  production  issues for
     individual companies and overall economic uncertainties. Individual issuers
     may incur  increased costs in making their own systems Year 2000 compliant.
     The combination of market  uncertainty and increased costs means that there
     is a possibility  that Year 2000 computer  issues may adversely  affect the
     Fund's investments.

[ARROW ICON] RISK ASSOCIATED  WITH  PARTICULAR  INVESTMENTS  
 
     You should  consider  the  special  factors  associated  with the
     policies  discussed  below  in  determining  the   appropriateness  of
     allocating  your  contract  values to the Fund.  See the  Statement of
     Additional Information for a discussion of additional risk factors.

     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
     Although it is  unlikely,  there  potentially  may be  differing  interests
     involving  the Fund among  owners of  variable  annuity and  variable  life
     insurance  contracts issued by different insurance  companies,  or even the
     same  insurance  company.  INVESCO  will monitor  events for any  potential
     conflicts.

     MARKET RISK
     Equity  stock  prices  vary and may fall,  thus  reducing  the value of the
     Fund's  investment.  Certain stocks  selected for the Fund's  portfolio may
     decline in value more than the overall stock market.

     CREDIT RISK
     The Fund may invest in debt instruments,  such as notes and bonds. There is
     a possibility that the issuers of these  instruments will be unable to meet
     interest payments or repay principal.  Changes in the financial strength of
     an issuer  may reduce the  credit  rating of its debt  instruments  and may
     affect their value.

     DEBT SECURITIES RISK
     Debt  securities  include bonds,  notes and other  securities that give the
     holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,  or both
     on a date in the  future  or on  demand.  Debt  securities  also are  often
     referred to as fixed income securities, even if the rate of interest varies
     over the life of the security.

     Debt  securities  are  generally  subject to credit  risk and market  risk.
     Credit  risk is the risk that the issuer of the  security  may be unable to
     meet interest or principal  payments or both as they come due.  Market risk
     is the risk that the market value of the security may decline for a variety
     of reasons,  including  changes in interest  rates. An increase in interest
     rates  tends to reduce the market  values of debt  securities  in which the
     Fund  invests.  A decline in interest  rates  tends to increase  the market
     values of debt securities in which the Fund invests.
<PAGE>
   
     Moody's  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")  ratings  provide a useful but not
     certain  guide to the credit  risk of many debt  securities.  The lower the
     rating of a debt  security,  the greater the credit risk the rating service
     assigns to the security. To compensate investors for accepting that greater
     risk,   lower-rated   securities  tend  to  offer  higher  interest  rates.
     Lower-rated  debt  securities are often referred to as "junk bonds." A debt
     security is considered  lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by Moody's or
     BB or less by S&P and is usually considered to be speculative.
    
     In addition to poor individual company performance in the marketplace or in
     its internal  management,  a significant  economic  downturn or increase in
     interest rates may cause issuers of debt securities to experience increased
     financial  problems  which could hurt their  ability to pay  principal  and
     interest  obligations,  to meet  projected  business  goals,  and to obtain
     additional  financing.  These  conditions  more severely  impact issuers of
     lower-rated  debt  securities.  The market for lower  rated  straight  debt
     securities  may not be as liquid as the market for  higher  rated  straight
     debt  securities.  Therefore,  INVESCO attempts to limit purchases of lower
     rated securities to securities having an established secondary market.

     Debt securities rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks
     of non-payment of principal or interest. Lower rated securities by Standard
     & Poor's  (categories  BB, B, CCC)  include  those which are  predominantly
     speculative  because of the issuer's perceived capacity to pay interest and
     repay  principal in  accordance  with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest
     degree of  speculation  and CCC a high  degree of  speculation.  While such
     bonds will likely have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
     are usually  outweighed by large  uncertainties  or major risk exposures to
     adverse conditions.
   
     FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK
     Investments in foreign and emerging markets carry special risks,  including
     currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic risks. The Fund may invest
     up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers.
    
          CURRENCY RISK. A change in the exchange rate between U.S.  dollars and
          a foreign currency may reduce the value of the Fund's  investment in a
          security  valued in the foreign  currency,  or based on that  currency
          value.  

          POLITICAL RISK. Political actions, events or instability may result in
          unfavorable changes in the value of a security.
   
          REGULATORY  RISK.  Government  regulations  may  affect the value of a
          security.  In  foreign  countries,  securities  markets  that are less
          regulated than those in the U.S. may permit trading practices that are
          not allowed in the U.S.

          DIPLOMATIC RISK. A change in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and
          a foreign country could affect the value or liquidity of investments.

          EUROPEAN  ECONOMIC  AND MONETARY  UNION.  Austria,  Belgium,  Finland,
          France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal
          and Spain are presently  members of the European Economic and Monetary
          Union (the  "EMU")  which as of January 1, 1999  adopted the euro as a
          common currency. The national currencies will be sub-currencies of the
          euro  until  July 1,  2002,  at  which  time the old  currencies  will
          disappear entirely. Other European countries may adopt the euro in the
          future.
    
          The introduction of the euro presents some  uncertainties and possible
          risks,  which could  adversely  affect the value of securities held by
          the Fund.
<PAGE>
          EMU  countries,  as a single  market,  may  affect  future  investment
          decisions  of the  Fund.  As the  euro is  implemented,  there  may be
          changes  in the  relative  strength  and value of the U.S.  dollar and
          other major currencies,  as well as possible adverse tax consequences.
          The euro transition by EMU countries - present and future - may affect
          the fiscal and monetary levels of those participating countries. There
          may be increased  levels of price  competition  among  business  firms
          within  EMU  countries  and  between  businesses  in EMU  and  non-EMU
          countries. The outcome of these uncertainties could have unpredictable
          effects on trade and commerce and result in increased  volatility  for
          all financial markets.

     INTEREST RATE RISK
     Changes in interest  rates will affect the resale value of debt  securities
     held in the Fund's  portfolio.  In  general,  as interest  rates rise,  the
     resale value of debt securities  decreases;  as interest rates decline, the
     resale value of debt securities generally  increases.  Debt securities with
     longer maturities usually are more sensitive to interest rate movements.

     DURATION RISK
     Duration is a measure of a debt  security's  sensitivity  to interest  rate
     changes.  Duration  is usually  expressed  in terms of years,  with  longer
     durations usually more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
   
     LIQUIDITY RISK
     The Fund's  portfolio is liquid if the Fund is able to sell the  securities
     it owns at a fair price  within a reasonable  time.  Liquidity is generally
     related to the market trading volume for a particular security. Investments
     in smaller  companies  or in foreign  companies  or  companies  in emerging
     markets  are  subject to a variety of risks,  including  potential  lack of
     liquidity.
    
     DERIVATIVES RISK
     A derivative  is a financial  instrument  whose value is "derived," in some
     manner,  from  the  price  of  another  security,  index,  asset  or  rate.
     Derivatives  include options and futures  contracts,  among a wide range of
     other instruments. The principal risk of investments in derivatives is that
     the  fluctuations  in their  values may not  correlate  perfectly  with the
     overall securities markets. Some derivatives are more sensitive to interest
     rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.  Also,  derivatives
     are subject to counterparty risk.
   
     OPTIONS AND FUTURES RISK
     Options  and  futures  are common  types of  derivatives  that the Fund may
     occasionally use to hedge its investments. An option is the right to buy or
     sell a security or other instrument, index or commodity at a specific price
     on or before a specific  date.  A future is an  agreement  to buy or sell a
     security or other  instrument,  index or commodity at a specific price on a
     specific date.
    
     COUNTERPARTY RISK
     This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
     derivatives  transactions.  It is the risk that the  other  party in such a
     transaction  will not  fulfill  its  contractual  obligation  to complete a
     transaction with the Fund.

     LACK OF TIMELY INFORMATION RISK
     Timely  information  about a security  or its  issuer  may be  unavailable,
     incomplete or inaccurate.  This risk is more common to securities issued by
     foreign  companies  and  companies  in emerging  markets  than it is to the
     securities of U.S.-based companies.
   
     The Fund  generally  invests in companies  doing  business in the utilities
     economic  sector.  However,  in an effort to  diversify  its  holdings  and
     provide some  protection  against the risk of other  investments,  the Fund
     also  may  invest  in  other  types  of  securities  and  other   financial
     instruments,  as indicated in the chart below. These instruments,  which at
     any  given  time  may  constitute  a  significant  portion  of  the  Fund's
     portfolio, may have their own risks.

 [ARROW ICON]  TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

     When  securities   markets  or  economic   conditions  are  unfavorable  or
     unsettled,  we might try to protect the assets of the Fund by  investing in
     securities  that  are  highly  liquid  such as high  quality  money  market
     instruments, like short-term U.S. government obligations,  commercial paper
     or  repurchase  agreements.  We have the  right to invest up to 100% of the
     Fund's assets in these securities,  although we are unlikely to do so. Even
     though the securities purchased for defensive purposes often are considered
     the equivalent of cash,  they also have their own risks.  Investments  that
     are  highly  liquid  or  comparatively  safe tend to offer  lower  returns.
     Therefore,  the  Fund's  performance  could  be  comparatively  lower if it
     concentrates in defensive holdings.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT
                                                         
INVESCO IS A SUBSIDIARY OF AMVESCAP PLC, AN INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
COMPANY THAT MANAGES  MORE THAN $275  BILLION IN ASSETS  WORLDWIDE.  AMVESCAP IS
BASED IN LONDON, WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE, NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA,
AND THE FAR EAST.
    
     THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
   
     INVESCO,  located  at 7800 East  Union  Avenue,  Denver,  Colorado,  is the
     investment  adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO  was  founded in 1932 and manages
     over $21.2 billion for more than 900,000  shareholders of 51 INVESCO mutual
     funds.  INVESCO  performs a wide  variety of other  services for the Funds,
     including  administration  and transfer agency functions (the processing of
     purchases,  sales and exchanges of Fund shares).  A wholly owned subsidiary
     of INVESCO,  INVESCO Distributors,  Inc. ("IDI"), is the Fund's distributor
     and is responsible for the sale of the Fund's shares.
    
     INVESCO and IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.

     The Fund paid 0.60% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
     advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

[INVESCO ICON] THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
   
     The following  individual is responsible  for the day-to-day  management of
     the Fund's portfolio holdings:

     BRIAN B. HAYWARD is a Chartered  Financial Analyst and has been the manager
     of the Fund since July 1997.  He is a vice  president  of INVESCO  and also
     manages  INVESCO  Sector  Funds -  Utilities  Fund  and  INVESCO  Worldwide
     Communications  Fund. Brian began his investment career in 1985, and before
     joining  INVESCO was the senior  equity  analyst  with  Mississippi  Valley
     Advisors.  He received an M.A. in Economics and a B.A. in Mathematics  from
     the University of Missouri.

     Brian Hayward is a member of the INVESCO Sector Team, which is
     led by William R. Keithler and John R. Schroer.
    
[INVESCO ICON] SHARE PRICE
   
CURRENT  MARKET  VALUE OF FUND ASSETS
+ ACCRUED  INTEREST  AND  DIVIDENDS 
- - FUND DEBTS,
INCLUDING ACCRUED EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------
/ NUMBER OF SHARES
= YOUR SHARE PRICE (NAV).

     The value of Fund shares is likely to change daily. This value is known as 
     the Net Asset Value per share, or NAV. INVESCO determines the market value 
     of each investment in the Fund's portfolio each day that the New York Stock
     Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the  close  of  trading  on that  exchange
     (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time). Therefore,  shares of the Fund are not
     priced on days when the NYSE is closed,  which,  generally,  is on weekends
     and national holidays in the U.S.
    
<PAGE>
     NAV is calculated by adding together the current market price of all of the
     Fund's  investments  and  other  assets,  including  accrued  interest  and
     dividends;  subtracting the Fund's debts,  including accrued expenses;  and
     dividing that dollar  amount by the total number of the Fund's  outstanding
     shares.

     In addition, foreign securities exchanges, which set the prices for foreign
     securities held by the Fund, are not always open the same days as the NYSE,
     and  may be open  for  business  on days  the  NYSE  is not.  For  example,
     Thanksgiving  Day is a  holiday  observed  by the NYSE and not by  overseas
     exchanges.  In  this  situation,  the  Fund  would  not  calculate  NAV  on
     Thanksgiving  Day (and INVESCO would not buy,  sell or exchange  shares for
     you on that day), even though activity on foreign exchanges could result in
     changes in the value of investments held by the Fund on that day.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

     The Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated  investment company" under
     the  provisions  of  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended  ("the  Code").  If the Fund  continues  to qualify as a "regulated
     investment  company" and complies  with the  appropriate  provisions of the
     Code, it will pay no federal income taxes on the amounts it distributes.

     Because the  shareholders of the Fund are insurance  companies (such as the
     one that issues your  contract),  no discussion  of the federal  income tax
     consequences to  shareholders  is included here. For information  about the
     federal tax  consequences  of purchasing the contracts,  see the prospectus
     for your contract.

[GRAPH ICON] DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

NET  INVESTMENT  INCOME  AND NET  REALIZED  CAPITAL  GAINS  ARE  DISTRIBUTED  TO
SHAREHOLDERS AT LEAST ANNUALLY.

     The  Fund intends to distribute  substantially all of its net investment 
     income, if any, in  dividends  to its  shareholders.  For  dividend  
     purposes,  net investment  income  consists of all  dividends  or  interest
     earned by the Fund's investments, minus the Fund's expenses (including the 
     advisory fee).  All of the Fund's net  realized  capital  gains,  if any,  
     are  distributed periodically,   no  less  frequently  than  annually.   
     All  dividends  and distributions  of the Fund are reinvested in additional
     shares of the Fund at net asset value.

[INVESCO ICON] VOTING RIGHTS

     Since the shares of the Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by
     you directly,  you will not vote shares of the Fund. Your insurance company
     will vote the shares that it holds as  required  by state and federal  law.
     Your  contract  prospectus  contains  more  information  on your  rights to
     instruct your insurance  company how to vote Fund shares held in connection
     with your contract.

THE COMPANY
   
The Company  was  incorporated  under the laws of  Maryland as INVESCO  Variable
Investment Funds, Inc. on August 19, 1993.

The Company is an open-end,  diversified,  no-load management investment company
currently consisting of ten portfolios of investments:  INVESCO VIF -- Blue Chip
Growth,  INVESCO VIF -- Dynamics,  INVESCO VIF -- Equity Income,  INVESCO VIF --
Health Sciences,  INVESCO VIF -- High Yield, INVESCO VIF -- Realty,  INVESCO VIF
- -- Small Company Growth, INVESCO VIF -- Technology,  INVESCO VIF -- Total Return
and  INVESCO  VIF --  Utilities  Funds (the  "Funds").  Additional  Funds may be
offered in the future.  The  Company's  shares are not  offered  directly to the
public,  but are sold  exclusively to life insurance  companies  ("Participating
Insurance  Companies")  as a pooled  funding  vehicle for  variable  annuity and
variable life insurance  contracts issued by separate  accounts of Participating
Insurance Companies.
    
"Open-end"  means that each Fund issues an indefinite  number of shares which it
continuously  offers  to  redeem  at  net  asset  value  per  share  ("NAV").  A
"management"  investment  company  actively buys and sells  securities  for each
portfolio  at the  direction  of a  professional  manager.  Open-end  management
investment  companies  (or one or more  series  of such  companies,  such as the
Funds) are commonly referred to as mutual funds.

INVESTMENTS, POLICIES AND RISKS

The  principal  investments  and  policies  of the  Funds are  discussed  in the
Prospectuses of the Funds. The Funds also may invest in the following securities
and engage in the following practices.

ADRs -- American Depository Receipts, or ADRs, are securities issued by American
banks. ADRs are receipts for the shares of foreign corporations that are held by
the bank issuing the receipt.  An ADR entitles its holder to all  dividends  and
capital gains on the underlying  foreign  securities,  less any fees paid to the
bank.  Purchasing  ADRs gives a Fund the  ability  to  purchase  the  functional
equivalent of foreign securities without going to the foreign securities markets
to do so. ADRs are bought and sold in U.S. dollars,  not foreign currencies.  An
ADR that is  "sponsored"  means that the foreign  corporation  whose  shares are
represented  by the ADR is  actively  involved in the  issuance of the ADR,  and
generally  provides  material  information  about  the  corporation  to the U.S.
market.  An "unsponsored"  ADR program means that the foreign  corporation whose
shares are held by the bank is not obligated to disclose material information in
the United States, and,  therefore,  the market value of the ADR may not reflect
important facts known only to the foreign company.

Since they mirror their underlying foreign  securities,  ADRs generally have the
same risks as investing directly in the underlying foreign securities.

DEBT SECURITIES -- Debt  securities  include bonds,  notes and other  securities
that give the holder the right to receive fixed amounts of principal,  interest,
or both on a date in the future or on demand.  Debt securities also are often 
referred to as fixed income  securities, even if the rate of interest varies 
over the life of the security.

Debt  securities  are generally  subject to credit risk and market risk.  Credit
risk is the risk that the issuer of the security may be unable to meet  interest
or principal payments or both as they come due. Market risk is the risk that the
market  value of the  security  may decline for a variety of reasons,  including
changes in interest  rates.  An  increase in interest  rates tends to reduce the
market  values of debt  securities  in which a Fund has  invested.  A decline in
interest rates tends to increase the market values of debt securities in which a
Fund has invested.
<PAGE>
   
Moody's  Investor  Services,  Inc.  ("Moody's")  and  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P")
ratings provide a useful guide to the credit risk of many debt  securities.  The
lower the rating of a debt  security,  the  greater  the credit  risk the rating
service  assigns to the  security.  To compensate  investors for accepting  that
greater risk,  lower-rated  debt securities tend to offer higher interest rates.
Lower-rated  debt  securities are often referred to as "junk bonds."  Increasing
the amount of Fund  assets  invested  in unrated or lower  grade  straight  debt
securities may increase the yield produced by a Fund's debt  securities but will
also increase the credit risk of those securities. A debt security is considered
lower grade if it is rated Ba or less by Moody's or BB or less by S&P.
    
Lower-rated and non-rated debt  securities of comparable  quality are subject to
wider fluctuations in yields and market values than higher-rated debt securities
and may be considered speculative. Although a Fund may invest in debt securities
assigned  lower grade  ratings by S&P or Moody's,  the Funds'  investments  have
generally  been  limited to debt  securities  rated B or higher by either S&P or
Moody's. Debt securities rated lower than B by either S&P or Moody's are usually
considered to be highly  speculative.  The Funds' investment  adviser will limit
Fund  investments to debt securities  which the adviser  believes are not highly
speculative and which are rated at least CCC by S&P or Caa by Moody's.
   
A significant  economic downturn or increase in interest rates may cause issuers
of debt  securities  to  experience  increased  financial  problems  which could
adversely  affect their ability to pay principal  and interest  obligations,  to
meet  projected  business  goals,  and to  obtain  additional  financing.  These
conditions  more severely  impact issuers of lower-rated  debt  securities.  The
market for  lower-rated  debt  securities may not be as liquid as the market for
higher-rated debt securities. Therefore, a Fund's investment adviser attempts to
limit  purchases of lower-rated  securities to securities  having an established
secondary market.

Debt  securities  rated Caa by Moody's may be in default or may present risks of
non-payment of principal or interest.  Lower rated securities by S&P (categories
BB, B, CCC) include  those which are  predominantly  speculative  because of the
issuer's  perceived  capacity to pay interest and repay  principal in accordance
with their terms;  BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation  and CCC a high
degree of speculation.  While such debt securities will likely have some quality
and  protective   characteristics,   these  are  usually   outweighed  by  large
uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.
    
The Funds expect that most emerging country debt securities in which they invest
will  not be  rated  by U.S.  rating  services.  Although  bonds  in the  lowest
investment  grade debt  category  (those rated BBB by S&P, Baa by Moody's or the
equivalent)  are regarded as having  adequate  capability  to pay  principal and
interest, they have speculative characteristics.  Adverse economic conditions or
changing  circumstances  are more likely to lead to a weakened  capacity to make
principal and interest  payments than is the case for higher rated bonds.  Lower
rated bonds by Moody's (categories Ba, B, or Caa) are of poorer quality and also
have speculative characteristics. Bonds rated Caa may be in default or there may
be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest. Lower-rated
bonds by S&P  (categories  BB, B, or CCC) include  those that are  regarded,  on
balance,  as predominantly  speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to
pay interest and repay  principal in accordance  with their terms;  BB indicates
the lowest degree of  speculation  and CCC a high degree of  speculation.  While
such bonds likely will have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
are  outweighed  by large  uncertainties  or major  risk  exposures  to  adverse
conditions.  Bonds having  equivalent  ratings from other ratings  services will
have  characteristics  similar  to those of the  corresponding  S&P and  Moody's
ratings.  For a specific  description  of S&P and Moody's  corporate bond rating
categories, please refer to Appendix B.
<PAGE>
   
EQUITY SECURITIES -- As discussed in the  Prospectuses,  the Funds may invest in
common,  preferred and convertible preferred stocks, and securities whose values
are tied to the price of stocks,  such as rights,  warrants and convertible debt
securities.  Common stocks and preferred  stocks represent equity ownership in a
corporation.  Owners  of  stock,  such as the  Funds,  share in a  corporation's
earnings through  dividends which may be declared by the  corporation,  although
the receipt of dividends is not the  principal  benefit that the Funds seek when
they invest in stocks and similar instruments.
    
<PAGE>
   
Instead,  the Funds seek to invest in stocks that will  increase in market value
and may be sold for more  than a Fund paid to buy  them.  Market  value is based
upon  constantly  changing  investor  perceptions  of what the  company is worth
compared to other  companies.  Although  dividends  are a factor in the changing
market  value  of  stocks,   many  companies  do  not  pay  dividends,   or  pay
comparatively small dividends.  As discussed in the Prospectuses,  the principal
risk of investing in equity  securities  is that their market  values  fluctuate
constantly,  often due to factors  entirely  outside the control of the Funds or
the company  issuing the stock. At any given time, the market value of an equity
security may be significantly  higher or lower than the amount paid by a Fund to
acquire it.
    
Owners  of  preferred  stocks  are  entitled  to  dividends   payable  from  the
corporation's  earnings,  which  in some  cases  may be  "cumulative"  if  prior
dividends  on the  preferred  stock  have not been  paid.  Dividends  payable on
preferred stock have priority over distributions to holders of common stock, and
preferred  stocks generally have a priority on the distribution of assets in the
event of the corporation's liquidation. Preferred stocks may be "participating,"
which  means  that they may be  entitled  to  dividends  in excess of the stated
dividend in certain cases. The holders of a company's debt securities  generally
are  entitled  to be  paid  by  the  company  before  it  pays  anything  to its
stockholders.

Rights and  warrants  are  securities  which  entitle the holder to purchase the
securities of a company (usually,  its common stock) at a specified price during
a specified time period.  The value of a right or warrant is affected by many of
the same factors that determine the prices of common stocks. Rights and warrants
may  be  purchased   directly  or  acquired  in  connection   with  a  corporate
reorganization or exchange offer.

The Funds also may purchase convertible  securities  including  convertible debt
obligations and convertible preferred stock. A convertible security entitles the
holder to  exchange  it for a fixed  number of shares of common  stock (or other
equity  security),  usually at a fixed price within a specified  period of time.
Until  conversion,  the owner of  convertible  securities  usually  receives the
interest  paid on a convertible  bond or the dividend  preference of a preferred
stock.

A convertible  security has an "investment value",  which is a theoretical value
determined  by the yield it  provides  in  comparison  with  similar  securities
without  the  conversion  feature.  Investment  value  changes  are  based  upon
prevailing  interest rates and other factors.  It also has a "conversion value,"
which  is the  market  value  the  convertible  security  would  have if it were
exchanged for the  underlying  equity  security.  Convertible  securities may be
purchased  at varying  price levels  above or below their  investment  values or
conversion values.

Conversion value is a simple  mathematical  calculation that fluctuates directly
with the price of the underlying  security.  However, if the conversion value is
substantially  below  investment  value,  the  market  value of the  convertible
security is governed  principally  by its  investment  value.  If the conversion
value is near or above  investment  value,  the market value of the  convertible
security  generally will rise above investment  value. In such cases, the market
value of the convertible  security may be higher than its conversion  value, due
to the combination of the convertible  security's right to interest (or dividend
preference)  and the  possibility  of capital  appreciation  from the conversion
feature.  However, there is no assurance that any premium above investment value
or conversion  value will be recovered  because  prices change and, as a result,
the  ability  to  achieve  capital   appreciation   through  conversion  may  be
eliminated.
<PAGE>
   
FOREIGN  SECURITIES  -- As discussed  in the  Prospectuses,  investments  in the
securities of foreign companies, or companies that have their principal business
activities outside the United States,  involve certain risks not associated with
investment in U.S.  companies.  Non-U.S.  companies generally are not subject to
the same uniform  accounting,  auditing and financial  reporting  standards that
apply  to  U.S.  companies.   Therefore,  financial  information  about  foreign
companies  may be  incomplete,  or  may  not be  comparable  to the  information
available  on  U.S.  companies.  There  may  also  be  less  publicly  available
information about a foreign company.

Although  the  volume of  trading in  foreign  securities  markets  is  growing,
securities of many non-U.S. companies may be less liquid and have greater swings
in price than securities of comparable U.S.  companies.  The costs of buying and
selling securities on foreign securities  exchanges are generally  significantly
higher  than  similar  costs  in the  United  States.  There is  generally  less
government  supervision  and  regulation  of  exchanges,  brokers and issuers in
foreign  countries  than there is in the United  States.  Investment in non-U.S.
securities  may also be subject to other risks  different  from those  affecting
U.S.   investments,   including  local   political  or  economic   developments,
expropriation  or  nationalization  of  assets,   confiscatory   taxation,   and
imposition of withholding taxes on dividends or interest payments. If it becomes
necessary,  it may be  more  difficult  for a Fund to  obtain  or to  enforce  a
judgment against a foreign issuer than against a domestic issuer.
    
Securities  traded on  foreign  markets  are  usually  bought  and sold in local
currencies,  not in  U.S.  dollars.  Therefore,  the  market  value  of  foreign
securities  acquired by a Fund can be affected -- favorably or unfavorably -- by
changes in currency rates and exchange control  regulations.  Costs are incurred
in  converting  money from one currency to another.  Foreign  currency  exchange
rates are  determined  by supply and  demand on the  foreign  exchange  markets.
Foreign exchange markets are affected by the  international  balance of payments
and  other   economic  and  financial   conditions,   government   intervention,
speculation  and other  factors,  all of which are  outside  the control of each
Fund.  Generally,  the Funds' foreign  currency  exchange  transactions  will be
conducted on a cash or "spot" basis at the spot rate for  purchasing  or selling
currency in the foreign currency exchange markets.
   
FORWARD  FOREIGN  CURRENCY  EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS  -- The  Funds  may  enter  into
contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies in the future, for example,  as
a hedge against possible changes in foreign exchange rates before  settlement of
a pending trade. A forward foreign  currency  exchange  contract is an agreement
between the contracting parties to exchange an amount of currency at some future
time at an agreed  upon  rate.  The rate can be higher or lower than the cash or
"spot" rate between the currencies that are the subject of the contract.
    
A forward contract generally has no deposit  requirement,  and such transactions
do not involve commissions.  A Fund can hedge against possible variations in the
value of the dollar versus another  currency by entering into a forward contract
for the  purchase  or sale of all or part  of the  amount  of  foreign  currency
invested in a foreign security. A hedge can be used between the date the foreign
security  transaction  is  executed  and the  date on which  payment  is made or
received,  or a hedge  may be used  during  the time a Fund  holds  the  foreign
security. Hedging against a change in the value of a currency does not eliminate
fluctuations  in the prices of securities or prevent losses if the prices of the
securities  decline.   Furthermore,   such  hedging  transactions  preclude  the
opportunity for gain if the value of the hedged currency should rise.  There can
be no assurance  that a Fund will be in a better or a worse  position than if it
had not entered  into any forward  contracts.  In  addition,  a Fund may find it
impossible at times to hedge certain currencies.
   
The Funds will not speculate in forward  foreign  currency  exchange  contracts.
Although  the  Funds  have no limit  on their  ability  to use  forward  foreign
currency exchange contracts as a hedge against  fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates (except to the extent that in certain situations  hedging  instruments may
not be  available),  the Funds do not  attempt  to hedge  all of their  non-U.S.
portfolio positions. The Funds will enter into forward foreign currency exchange
contracts  only to the extent,  if any,  deemed  appropriate  by the adviser and
sub-adviser.  Forward contracts may, from time to time, be considered  illiquid,
in which  case they would be subject to a Fund's  limitations  on  investing  in
illiquid securities.  The Funds will not enter into forward contracts for a term
of more than one year.

FUTURES,  OPTIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON  SECURITIES  -- As  discussed in the
Prospectuses,  the Funds may enter into futures contracts, and purchase and sell
("write") options to buy or sell futures  contracts and other securities.  These
instruments are sometimes  referred to as  "derivatives."  The Funds will comply
with and adhere to all limitations in the manner and extent to which they effect
transactions  in futures and options on such  futures  currently  imposed by the
rules and policy  guidelines of the Commodity  Futures  Trading  Commission (the
"CFTC") as conditions  for  exemption of a mutual fund,  or investment  advisers
thereto,  from registration as a commodity pool operator. A Fund will not, as to
any positions,  whether long, short or a combination thereof, enter into futures
and options thereon for which the aggregate  initial margins and premiums exceed
5% of the fair market value of the Fund's total assets after taking into account
unrealized  profits and losses on options it has entered into. In the case of an
option that is "in-the-money,"  as defined in the Commodities  Exchange Act (the
"CEA"),  the  in-the-money  amount may be  excluded  in  computing  such 5%. (In
general a call option on a future is  "in-the-money"  if the value of the future
exceeds the exercise  ("strike")  price of the call; a put option on a future is
"in-the-money"  if the value of the  future  which is the  subject of the put is
exceeded by the strike  price of the put.) The Funds may use futures and options
thereon  solely  for bona fide  hedging  or for other  non-speculative  purposes
within the meaning and intent of the applicable provisions of the CEA.
    
Unlike when a Fund  purchases or sells a security,  no price is paid or received
by a Fund upon the  purchase or sale of a futures  contract.  Instead,  the Fund
will  be  required  to  deposit  an  amount  of cash  or  qualifying  securities
(currently U.S.  Treasury bills).  This is called "initial margin." Such initial
margin is in the  nature of a  performance  bond or good  faith  deposit  on the
contract.  However,  since losses on open contracts are required to be reflected
in cash in the form of variation  margin  payments,  the Fund may be required to
make additional  payments  during the term of the contracts to its broker.  Such
payments would be required,  for example,  where, during the term of an interest
rate futures  contract  purchased by the Fund,  there was a general  increase in
interest rates, thereby making the Fund's futures position less valuable. In all
instances  involving the purchase of financial  futures  contracts by a Fund, an
amount of cash and other liquid  assets at least equal to the contract  price of
the futures contracts, will be deposited in a segregated account with the Funds'
custodian to collateralize the position.  At any time prior to the expiration of
a  futures  contract,  the Fund may  elect to close  its  position  by taking an
opposite  position  which will operate to terminate  the Fund's  position in the
futures  contract.  For a more  complete  discussion  of the risks  involved  in
interest  rate  futures  and  options on  interest  rate  futures and other debt
securities,   refer  to  Appendix  A   ("Description   of  Futures  and  Options
Contracts").

Where futures are purchased to hedge against a possible increase in the price of
a  security  before  a Fund is able  in an  orderly  fashion  to  invest  in the
security,  it is possible that the market may decline instead. If the Fund, as a
result,  concluded  not to make the planned  investment  at that time because of
concern as to possible  further market  decline or for other  reasons,  the Fund
would  realize a loss on the futures  contract that is not offset by a reduction
in the price of securities purchased.

In addition to the possibility that there may be an imperfect  correlation or no
correlation  at all  between  movements  in the  futures  and the portion of the
portfolio  being hedged,  the price of futures may not correlate  perfectly with
movements in interest rates or exchange rates due to certain market distortions.
All  participants  in the  futures  market  are  subject to margin  deposit  and
maintenance   requirements.   Rather  than  meeting  additional  margin  deposit
requirements,   investors  may  close  futures  contracts   through   offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal relationship  between interest rates
or exchange rates and the value of a future.  Moreover, the deposit requirements
in  the  futures  market  are  less  onerous  than  margin  requirements  in the
securities market and may therefore cause increased participation by speculators
in the futures  market.  Such increased  participation  also may cause temporary
price  distortions.  Due to the  possibility of price  distortion in the futures
market and because of the imperfect  correlation  between  movements in interest
rates or exchange  rates and movements in the prices of futures  contracts,  the
value of futures contracts as a hedging device may be reduced.
<PAGE>
In addition, if a Fund has insufficient  available cash, it may at times have to
sell securities to meet variation margin requirements. Such sales may have to be
effected at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.

ILLIQUID  SECURITIES -- Securities  which do not trade on stock  exchanges or in
the over the counter  market,  or have  restrictions on when and how they may be
sold, are generally  considered to be  "illiquid."  An illiquid  security is one
that a Fund may have  difficulty  -- or may even be  legally  precluded  from --
selling at any  particular  time.  The Funds may invest in illiquid  securities,
including  restricted  securities  and other  investments  which are not readily
marketable.  A Fund will not  purchase any such  security if the purchase  would
cause the Fund to invest more than 15% of its total assets, measured at the time
of purchase, in illiquid securities. Repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven days are considered illiquid for purposes of this restriction.

The  principal  risk of investing in illiquid  securities  is that a Fund may be
unable to  dispose  of them at the time  desired or at a  reasonable  price.  In
addition,  in order to resell a restricted  security,  a Fund might have to bear
the expense and incur the delays associated with registering the securities with
the SEC, and otherwise obtaining listing on a securities exchange or in the over
the counter market.
   
RULE 144A  SECURITIES -- A Fund also may invest in securities that can be resold
to  institutional  investors  pursuant to Rule 144A under the  Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In recent years, a large institutional market
has developed for many Rule 144A Securities.  Institutional  investors generally
cannot sell these securities to the general public but instead will often depend
on an efficient  institutional  market in which Rule 144A Securities can readily
be resold to other institutional investors, or on an issuer's ability to honor a
demand for repayment.  Therefore,  the fact that there are  contractual or legal
restrictions  on resale to the general public or certain  institutions  does not
necessarily  mean that a Rule 144A Security is illiquid.  Institutional  markets
for Rule 144A  Securities may provide both reliable  market values for Rule 144A
Securities and enable a Fund to sell a Rule 144A  investment  when  appropriate.
For this reason,  the  Company's  board of  directors  has  concluded  that if a
sufficient  institutional  trading market exists for a given Rule 144A security,
it may be  considered  "liquid,"  and not  subject  to a Fund's  limitations  on
investment in illiquid  securities.  The Company's  board of directors has given
INVESCO  the  day-to-day  authority  to  determine  the  liquidity  of Rule 144A
Securities, according to guidelines approved by the board. The principal risk of
investing in Rule 144A Securities is that there may be an insufficient number of
qualified institutional buyers interested in purchasing a Rule 144A Security
held by a Fund,  and the  Fund  might be  unable  to  dispose  of such
security promptly or at reasonable prices.
    
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- A Fund may enter into repurchase agreements,  or REPOs,
on debt securities that the Fund is allowed to hold in its portfolio.  This is a
way to invest money for short  periods.  A REPO is an agreement  under which the
Fund  acquires a debt  security  and then  resells it to the seller at an agreed
upon price and date  (normally,  the next business day).  The  repurchase  price
represents an interest rate  effective for the short period the debt security is
held by the Fund, and is unrelated to the interest rate on the  underlying  debt
security. A repurchase agreement is often considered as a loan collateralized by
securities.  The collateral  securities  acquired by the Fund (including accrued
interest  earned  thereon) must have a total value in excess of the value of the
repurchase agreement. The collateral securities are held by the Fund's custodian
bank until the repurchase agreement is completed.

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with commercial banks, registered
broker-dealers   or  registered   government   securities   dealers,   that  are
creditworthy  under  standards  established by the Company's board of directors.
The Company's board of directors has  established  standards that the investment
adviser and  sub-adviser  must use to review the  creditworthiness  of any bank,
broker or dealer that is party to a REPO. REPOs maturing in more than seven days
are  considered  illiquid  securities.  A Fund  will not enter  into  repurchase
agreements  maturing in more than seven days if as a result more than 20% of the
Fund's total assets would be invested in these  repurchase  agreements and other
illiquid securities.
<PAGE>
As noted  above,  the  Funds use  REPOs as a means of  investing  cash for short
periods  of  time.  Although  REPOs  are  considered  to be  highly  liquid  and
comparatively  low-risk,  the use of REPOs does involve some risks. For example,
if the other party to the agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the
underlying  security at a time when the value of the security has declined,  the
Fund may incur a loss on the sale of the collateral security. If the other party
to the agreement  becomes insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization
under  the  Bankruptcy  Code or  other  laws,  a court  may  determine  that the
underlying  security is collateral for a loan by the Fund not within the control
of the Fund and therefore the  realization  by the Fund on such  collateral  may
automatically be stayed.  Finally,  it is possible that the Fund may not be able
to  substantiate  its interest in the  underlying  security and may be deemed an
unsecured creditor of the other party to the agreement.

SECURITIES  LENDING  --  Although  they do not do so at this  time,  and have no
present intention of doing so, the Funds may lend their portfolio  securities to
qualified  brokers,  dealers,  banks,  or  other  financial  institutions.   The
advantage of lending  portfolio  securities is that a Fund continues to have the
benefits  (and risks) of ownership of the loaned  securities,  while at the same
time receiving interest from the borrower of the securities. The primary risk in
lending  portfolio  securities is that a borrower may fail to return a portfolio
security.

U.S.  GOVERNMENT  SECURITIES -- Each Fund may, from time to time,  purchase debt
securities  issued by the U.S.  government.  These  securities  include treasury
bills, treasury notes, and treasury bonds. Treasury bills have a maturity of one
year or less.  Treasury notes generally have a maturity of one to ten years, and
treasury bonds generally have maturities of more than ten years.

U.S.  government debt securities also include securities issued or guaranteed by
agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government. Some obligations of United
States government agencies,  which are established under the authority of an act
of  Congress,   such  as  Government  National  Mortgage   Association  ("GNMA")
participation  certificates,  are  supported by the full faith and credit of the
United  States  Treasury.  GNMA  Certificates  are  mortgage-backed   securities
representing  part ownership of a pool of mortgage loans.  These loans -- issued
by lenders  such as  mortgage  bankers,  commercial  banks and  savings and loan
associations  -- are either  insured by the Federal  Housing  Administration  or
guaranteed by the Veterans  Administration.  A "pool" or group of such mortgages
is assembled and, after being approved by GNMA, is offered to investors  through
securities  dealers.  Once approved by GNMA,  the timely payment of interest and
principal on each  mortgage is  guaranteed  by GNMA and backed by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. government.  The market value of GNMA Certificates is not
guaranteed. GNMA Certificates are different from bonds because principal is paid
back monthly by the borrower over the term of the loan rather than returned in a
lump sum at maturity,  as is the case with a bond. GNMA  Certificates are called
"pass-through"   securities   because  both  interest  and  principal   payments
(including   prepayments)   are  passed  through  to  the  holder  of  the  GNMA
Certificate.

Other United  States  government  debt  securities,  such as  securities  of the
Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from
the Treasury.  Others, such as bonds issued by Fannie Mae, a federally chartered
private corporation, are supported only by the credit of the corporation. In the
case of securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States,
the Fund must  look  principally  to the  agency  issuing  or  guaranteeing  the
obligation  in the  event  the  agency  or  instrumentality  does  not  meet its
commitments.  A Fund will invest in  securities of such  instrumentalities  only
when its investment  adviser and sub-advisers are satisfied that the credit risk
with respect to any such instrumentality is comparatively minimal.

WHEN-ISSUED/DELAYED DELIVERY -- Ordinarily, the Funds buy and sell securities on
an ordinary settlement basis. That means that the buy or sell order is sent, and
a Fund actually takes  delivery or gives up physical  possession of the security
on the "settlement date," which is three business days later. However, the Funds
also may purchase  and sell  securities  on a  when-issued  or delayed  delivery
basis.
<PAGE>
When-issued or delayed delivery transactions occur when securities are purchased
or sold by a Fund and payment and delivery take place at an agreed-upon  time in
the  future.  The Funds may  engage in this  practice  in an effort to secure an
advantageous  price  and  yield.  However,  the yield on a  comparable  security
available  when  delivery  actually  takes  place may vary from the yield on the
security at the time the when-issued or delayed delivery transaction was entered
into. When a Fund engages in when-issued and delayed delivery  transactions,  it
relies on the seller or buyer to consummate  the sale at the future date. If the
seller or buyer fails to act as  promised,  that  failure may result in the Fund
missing  the  opportunity  of  obtaining  a  price  or  yield  considered  to be
advantageous.  No  payment  or  delivery  is made by a Fund  until  it  receives
delivery  or  payment  from  the  other  party  to  the  transaction.   However,
fluctuation  in the  value of the  security  from the time of  commitment  until
delivery could adversely affect a Fund.


INVESTMENTS RISKS AND STRATEGIES

The Funds  operate under certain  investment  restrictions.  For purposes of the
following  restrictions,  all percentage  limitations  apply immediately after a
purchase or initial investment. Any subsequent change in a particular percentage
resulting  from  fluctuations  in value  does  not  require  elimination  of any
security from a Fund.

The following  restrictions  are fundamental and may not be changed with respect
to the Funds  without  prior  approval of a majority of the  outstanding  voting
securities of the Funds,  as defined in the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"). The Funds, unless otherwise indicated, may not:

          (1) with respect to  seventy-five  percent  (75%) of each Fund's total
assets,  purchase  the  securities  of any one  issuer  (except  cash  items and
"government  securities"  as defined under the 1940 Act), if the purchase  would
cause a Fund to have more than 5% of the value of its total  assets  invested in
the securities of such issuer or to own more than 10% of the outstanding  voting
securities of such issuer;

          (2) borrow  money or issue senior  securities  (as defined in the 1940
Act), except that each Fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes
(not for  leveraging  or  investment)  and may  enter  into  reverse  repurchase
agreements  in an  aggregate  amount not  exceeding  33 1/3% of the value of its
total  assets  (including  the amount  borrowed)  less  liabilities  (other than
borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed 33-1/3% of the value of a Fund's
total assets by reason of a decline in total assets will be reduced within three
business  days to the extent  necessary  to comply with the 33-1/3%  limitation.
This  restriction  shall not prohibit  deposits of assets to margin or guarantee
positions in futures, options, swaps or forward contracts, or the segregation of
assets in connection with such contracts;

          (3)  Invest  more  than 25% of the  value of its  total  assets in any
particular  industry  (other than government  securities),  except that: (i) the
Utilities  Fund may  invest  more than 25% of the  value of its total  assets in
public utilities industries;  (ii) the Health Sciences Fund may invest more than
25% of the  value of its  total  assets in one or more  industries  relating  to
health care;  (iii) the Technology Fund may invest more than 25% of the value of
its total assets in the technology industry; and (iv) the Realty Fund may invest
more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the real estate industry;

          (4)  Invest  directly  in real  estate or  interests  in real  estate;
however,  the Fund may own debt or equity securities issued by companies engaged
in those  businesses.  This restriction  shall not prohibit the Realty Fund from
directly  holding  real estate if such real estate is acquired by that Fund as a
result of a default on debt securities held by that Fund;

          (5)  purchase  or  sell  physical   commodities   other  than  foreign
currencies  unless  acquired as a result of  ownership of  securities  (but this
shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing or selling  options,  futures,  swaps
and forward  contracts or from  investing  in  securities  or other  instruments
backed by physical commodities;
<PAGE>
          (6) lend any  security  or make any other  loan if, as a result,  more
than 10% of its total assets would be lent to other parties (but this limitation
does  not  apply  to  purchases  of  commercial  paper,  debt  securities  or to
repurchase agreements.);

          (7) act as an  underwriter of securities  issued by others,  except to
the  extent  that  it may be  deemed  an  underwriter  in  connection  with  the
disposition of portfolio securities of the Fund.

          Each  Fund  may,   notwithstanding  any  other  investment  policy  or
limitation  (whether  or not  fundamental),  invest  all of  its  assets  in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially
the same  fundamental  investment  objectives,  policies and  limitations as the
Fund.

           (a) Each Fund's  investment in warrants,  valued at the lower of cost
or market,  may not exceed 5% of the value of its net  assets.  Included  within
that amount,  but not to exceed 2% of the value of the Fund's net assets, may be
warrants  that are not  listed  on the New  York or  American  Stock  Exchanges.
Warrants acquired by the Fund in units or attached to securities shall be deemed
to be without value.

           (b) Each  Fund  will not (i)  enter  into any  futures  contracts  or
options on futures  contracts if  immediately  thereafter  the aggregate  margin
deposits on all  outstanding  futures  contracts  positions held by the Fund and
premiums paid on  outstanding  options on futures  contracts,  after taking into
account  unrealized  profits and losses,  would exceed 5% of the market value of
the total  assets of the Fund,  or (ii) enter into any  futures  contract if the
aggregate  net  amount  of the  Fund's  commitments  under  outstanding  futures
contracts  positions  of the Fund would  exceed  the  market  value of the total
assets of the Fund.

           (c) Each Fund does not  currently  intend to sell  securities  short,
unless  it owns or has the  right to obtain  securities  equivalent  in kind and
amount to the  securities  sold short  without  the  payment  of any  additional
consideration  therefor,  and provided that  transactions in options,  swaps and
forward futures contracts are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

          (d) Each Fund does not  currently  intend to  purchase  securities  on
margin, except that the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary
for the clearance of  transactions,  and provided that margin payments and other
deposits in connection with transactions in options,  futures, swaps and forward
contracts shall not be deemed to constitute purchasing securities on margin.

          (e) Each Fund does not currently intend to (i) purchase  securities of
closed-end investment  companies,  except in the open market where no commission
except the ordinary  broker's  commission  is paid,  or (ii)  purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end  investment  companies.  Limitations (i) and
(ii) do not apply to money market funds or to securities  received as dividends,
through offers of exchange,  or as a result of a reorganization,  consolidation,
or merger.  If a Fund  invests in a money market  fund,  such Fund's  investment
adviser will reduce its advisory  fee by the amount of any  investment  advisory
and  administrative  services  fee paid to the  investment  manager of the money
market fund.

           (f) The Fund may not mortgage or pledge any securities  owned or held
by the Fund in amounts  that  exceed,  in the  aggregate,  15% of the Fund's net
assets,  provided  that this  limitation  does not apply to  reverse  repurchase
agreements or in the case of assets  deposited to margin or guarantee  positions
in  futures,  options,  swaps or  forward  contracts  or placed in a  segregated
account in connection with such contracts.

           (g) The Fund does not currently intend to purchase  securities of any
issuer (other than U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities or instruments
guaranteed  by an  entity  with a record of more than  three  years'  continuous
operation,  including  that of  predecessors)  with a record of less than  three
years'  continuous  operation  (including that of predecessors) if such purchase
would  cause the  Fund's  investments  in all such  issuers  to exceed 5% of the
Fund's total assets taken at market value at the time of such purchase.

          (h) The Fund does not currently intend to invest directly in oil, gas,
or other mineral  development or exploration  programs or leases;  however,  the
Fund may own debt or equity securities of companies engaged in those businesses.
<PAGE>
           (i) The Fund does not  currently  intend to purchase  any security or
enter  into a  repurchase  agreement  if, as a result,  more than 15% of its net
assets would be invested in  repurchase  agreements  not entitling the holder to
payment of principal and interest  within seven days and in securities  that are
illiquid by virtue of legal or contractual restrictions on resale or the absence
of a readily available market. The board of directors,  or the Fund's investment
adviser acting  pursuant to authority  delegated by the board of directors,  may
determine that a readily  available  market exists for  securities  eligible for
resale  pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, or any successor
to such  rule,  and  therefore  that  such  securities  are not  subject  to the
foregoing limitation.

          (j) The Fund may not invest in companies for the purpose of exercising
control or  management,  except to the extent  that  exercise by the Fund of its
rights  under  agreements  related to  portfolio  securities  would be deemed to
constitute such control.

          In  applying  the  industry  concentration   investment   restrictions
applicable to the Funds, the Company uses an industry  classification system for
international  securities  based on information  obtained from  Bloomberg  L.P.,
Moody's  International  and a modified S&P industry code  classification  schema
which uses various sources to classify securities.

         With  respect  to  investment  restriction  (i)  above,  the  board  of
directors has delegated to Fund Management the authority to determine  whether a
liquid market exists for  securities  eligible for resale  pursuant to Rule 144A
under the 1933 Act, or any successor to such rule and that such  securities  are
not subject to this  restriction.  Under guidelines  established by the board of
directors, Fund Management will consider the following factors, among others, in
making this determination:  (1) the unregistered nature of a Rule 144A security;
(2) the  frequency  of trades  and quotes  for the  security;  (3) the number of
dealers  willing  to  purchase  or sell the  security  and the  number  of other
potential purchasers;  (4) dealer undertakings to make a market in the security;
and (5) the nature of the security and the nature of  marketplace  trades (e.g.,
the time needed to dispose of the security,  the method of soliciting offers and
the mechanics of transfer).

          In order to enable  California  investors to allocate variable annuity
or variable  life  insurance  contract  values to one or more of the Funds,  the
Company has committed to comply with the following guidelines: (i) the borrowing
limits  for any Fund  are (a) 10% of net  asset  value  when  borrowing  for any
general  purpose  and (b) 25% of net asset value when  borrowing  as a temporary
measure to facilitate  redemptions  (for purposes of this clause,  the net asset
value of a Fund is the  market  value of all  investments  or assets  owned less
outstanding  liabilities  of the  Fund at the time  that  any new or  additional
borrowing is undertaken);  and (ii) if a Fund invests in foreign companies,  the
foreign  country  diversification  guidelines  to be followed by the Fund are as
follows:

          (a) The Fund will be invested in a minimum of five  different  foreign
countries  at all times.  However,  this minimum is reduced to four when foreign
country  investments  comprise  less than 80% of the Fund's net asset value,  to
three  when  less than 60% of such  value,  to two when less than 40% and to one
when less than 20%.

          (b) Except as set forth in items (c) and (d) below, the Fund will have
no more  than 20% of its net asset  value  invested  in  securities  of  issuers
located in any one country.

          (c) The  Fund  may  have an  additional  15% of its  net  asset  value
invested in securities of issuers located in any one of the following countries:
Australia, Canada, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, or Germany.

          (d) The Fund's investments in United States issuers are not subject to
the foreign country diversification guidelines.

          State insurance laws and regulations may impose additional limitations
on lending  securities  and the use of  options,  futures  and other  derivative
instruments.

INVESCO serves as investment  adviser to the Funds under an investment  advisory
agreement dated February 28, 1997 (the "Agreement") with the Company,  which was
last approved by the board of directors  for a term  expiring May 15, 1999.  The
board  vote was cast in  person,  at a meeting  called  for this  purpose,  by a
majority of the directors of the Company,  including a majority of the directors
who are  not  "interested  persons"  of the  Company  or  INVESCO  ("Independent
Directors").  Shareholders  of the High Yield,  Equity Income,  Total Return and

Chip Growth, Dynamics and Small Company Growth Funds, the Agreement was approved

Company, or by a vote of the holders of a majority,  as defined in the 1940 Act,
of the outstanding shares of each Fund. Any continuance also must be approved by

The Agreement requires that INVESCO manage the investment portfolio of each Fund
in a way that  conforms  with  each  Fund's  investment  policies.  INVESCO  may

     Act, and in any prospectus  and/or  statement of additional  information of
     the Funds,  as from time to time amended and in use under the 1933 Act, and

     Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

     available  to the  investment  advisory  customers  of the  Adviser  or any
     Sub-Adviser;

   o determining  what portion of each Fund's  assets  should be invested in the
     various types of securities authorized for purchase by the Fund; and

   o making  recommendations as to the manner in which voting rights,  rights to
     consent  to Fund  action  and  any  other  rights  pertaining  to a  Fund's

THE SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
   
With respect to the Realty Fund,  INVESCO Realty Advisors,  Inc. ("IRAI") serves
as  sub-adviser to the Realty Fund pursuant to a  sub-advisory  agreement  dated

the  Company,  including a majority  of the  directors  who are not  "interested
persons" of the Company,  INVESCO or IRAI, at a meeting called for such purpose.
The Realty  Sub-Agreement  was approved on January 31, 1997, by the shareholders
of the Realty Fund for an initial term  expiring  February 28, 1999.  On May 13,
1998, this period was extended by the Company's  board of directors  through May
15, 1999.

With respect to the Total Return Fund, INVESCO Capital Management ("ICM") serves
as  sub-adviser  to the Total Return Fund pursuant to a  sub-advisory  agreement
dated  February 28, 1997 (the "Total Return  Sub-Agreement")  with INVESCO which
was  approved  on November 6, 1996 by a vote cast in person by a majority of the
directors  of the  Company,  including a majority of the  directors  who are not
"interested  persons" of the  Company,  INVESCO or ICM, at a meeting  called for
such purpose. The Total Return Sub-Agreement was approved on January 31, 1997 by
the  shareholders  of the Total  Return  Fund for an initial  term  expiring  on
February 28, 1999.  On May 13, 1998,  this period was extended by the  Company's
board of directors through May 15, 1999.
    
Thereafter,  the  Realty  Sub-Agreement  and  Total  Return  Sub-Agreement  (the
"Sub-Agreements")  may be continued from year to year as to each Fund as long as
each such continuance is specifically  approved by the board of directors of the
Company,  or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Fund,  as  defined  in the 1940  Act.  Each  such  continuance  also must be
approved  by  a  majority  of  the   directors   who  are  not  parties  to  the
Sub-Agreements  or  interested  persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such
party,  cast in person at a meeting  called  for the  purpose  of voting on such
continuance. The Sub-Agreements may be terminated at any time without penalty by
either  party  or the  Company  upon  sixty  (60)  days'  written  notice.  Each
terminates automatically in the event of an assignment to the extent required by
the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.

The  Sub-Agreements  provide  that IRAI and ICM, as  applicable,  subject to the
supervision of INVESCO, shall manage the investment portfolios of the Realty and
Total Return Funds in conformity  with each Fund's  investment  policies.  These
management services include: (a) managing the investment and reinvestment of all
the assets, now or hereafter acquired, of each Fund, and executing all purchases
and sales of portfolio  securities;  (b)  maintaining  a  continuous  investment
program for the Funds,  consistent with (i) each Fund's  investment  policies as
set forth in the Company's  Articles of  Incorporation,  Bylaws and Registration
Statement,  as from time to time amended, under the 1940 Act, as amended, and in
any prospectus  and/or  statement of additional  information of the Company,  as
from time to time amended and in use under the 1933 Act, and (ii) the  Company's
status as a regulated  investment  company  under the  Internal  Revenue Code of
1986, as amended;  (c)  determining  what securities are to be purchased or sold
for each Fund,  unless  otherwise  directed by the  directors  of the Company or
INVESCO,  and executing  transactions  accordingly;  (d) providing the Funds the
benefit of all of the investment  analysis and research,  the reviews of current
economic  conditions and trends, and the consideration of long-range  investment
policy now or hereafter  generally available to investment advisory customers of
IRAI or ICM; (e)  determining  what  portion of each  applicable  Fund's  assets
should be invested in the various types of securities authorized for purchase by
such Fund;  and (f)  making  recommendations  as to the  manner in which  voting
rights,  rights to consent to Company action and any other rights  pertaining to
the portfolio securities of each applicable Fund shall be exercised.
<PAGE>
The  Sub-Agreements  provide that, as compensation for their services,  IRAI and
ICM shall receive from INVESCO,  at the end of each month,  a fee based upon the
average  daily value of the  applicable  Fund's net assets.  With respect to the
Realty Fund,  the fee is  calculated at the  following  annual  rates:  prior to
January 1,  1998,  0.30% on the first $500  million  of the Fund's  average  net
assets;  0.25% on the next $500  million of the Fund's  average net assets;  and
0.2167% on the Fund's average net assets in excess of $1 billion;  and effective
January 1, 1998, 0.36% on the first $500 million; 0.30% on the next $500 million
and 0.26% on the Fund's net assets in excess of $1 billion.  With respect to the
Total Return Fund, the fee is computed at the following  annual rates:  prior to
January 1,  1998,  0.25% on the first $500  million  of the Fund's  average  net
assets;  0.2167% on the next $500 million of the Fund's average net assets;  and
0.1833% on the Fund's average net assets in excess of $1 billion;  and effective
January 1, 1998, 0.30% on the first $500 million; 0.26% on the next $500 million
and  0.22% on the  Fund's  average  net  assets in  excess  of $1  billion.  The
sub-advisory fees are paid by INVESCO, NOT the Funds.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
   
INVESCO,  either  directly or through  affiliated  companies,  provides  certain
administrative, sub-accounting, and recordkeeping services to the Funds pursuant
to  an   Administrative   Services   Agreement  dated  February  28,  1997.  The
Administrative Services Agreement was approved on November 6, 1996, at a meeting
called for that purpose, by a vote cast in person by all of the directors of the
Company,  including a majority of the  Independent  Directors  of the Company or
INVESCO.
    
The  Administrative  Services  Agreement was for an initial term expiring in one
year and has been  extended by action of the board of directors  through May 15,
1999. The  Administrative  Services Agreement may be continued from year to year
as long as each  such  continuance  is  specifically  approved  by the  board of
directors  of the  Company,  including a majority of the  Company's  Independent
Directors.  The Administrative  Services Agreement may be terminated at any time
without penalty by INVESCO on sixty (60) days' written  notice,  or by the Funds
upon thirty (30) days' written notice, and ends automatically in the event of an

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY

The overall  direction  and  supervision  of the Company  come from the board of
directors. The board of directors is responsible for making sure that the Funds'
general investment  policies and programs are carried out and that the Funds are
properly administered.

The board of directors has an audit committee comprised of four of the directors
who are not affiliated with INVESCO (the "Independent Directors"). The committee
meets  quarterly  with the  Company's  independent  accountants  and officers to
review  accounting  principles  used by the  Company,  the  adequacy of internal
controls,  the  responsibilities  and fees of the independent  accountants,  and
other matters.

The Company has a  management  liaison  committee  which  meets  quarterly  with
various   management   personnel  of  INVESCO  in  order  to  facilitate  better
understanding  of management and operations of the Company,  and to review legal
and  operational  matters which have been assigned to the committee by the board
of  directors,  in  furtherance  of the  board  of  directors'  overall  duty of
supervision.
   
The  Company  has  a  soft  dollar  brokerage  committee.  The  committee  meets
periodically  to review  soft  dollar and other  brokerage  transactions  by the
Funds,  and to review policies and procedures of the Funds' adviser with respect
to brokerage transactions. It reports on these matters to the Company's board of
directors.
    
The Company has a derivatives  committee.  The committee  meets  periodically to
review derivatives  investments made by the Funds. It monitors derivatives usage
by the Funds and the  procedures  utilized by the Funds'  adviser to ensure that
the use of such instruments  follows the policies on such instruments adopted by
the Company's  board of directors.  It reports on these matters to the Company's
board of directors.

The officers of the Company,  all of whom are officers and employees of INVESCO,
are responsible for the day-to-day  administration of the Company and the Funds.
The officers of the Company receive no direct  compensation from the Company for
their services as officers. The investment adviser for the Funds has the primary
responsibility  for making  investment  decisions on behalf of the Funds.  These
investment decisions are reviewed by the investment committee of INVESCO.

(1) The vice chairman of the board,  the chairmen of the Funds'  committees  who
are  Independent  Directors  and the  members of the Funds'  committees  who are
Independent Directors,  each receive compensation for serving in such capacities
in addition to the compensation paid to all Independent Directors.
    
(2) Represents  benefits  accrued with respect to the Defined  Benefit  Deferred
Compensation Plan discussed below, and not compensation deferred at the election
of the directors.

<PAGE>
   
(3) These amounts represent the Company's share of the estimated annual benefits
payable by the INVESCO Funds upon the directors'  retirement,  calculated  using
the current method of allocating director  compensation among the INVESCO Funds.
These estimated benefits assume retirement at age 72 and further assume that the
basic  retainer  payable to the  directors  will be  adjusted  periodically  for
inflation,  for increases in the number of funds in the INVESCO  Funds,  and for
other  reasons  during the period in which  retirement  benefits  are accrued on
behalf of the respective directors. This results in lower estimated benefits for
directors  who are  closer to  retirement  and  higher  estimated  benefits  for
directors who are further from  retirement.  With the exception of Drs. Soll and
Gramm, each of these directors has served as a  director/trustee  of one or more
of the funds in the INVESCO Funds for the minimum  five-year  period required to
be eligible to participate in the Defined Benefit  Deferred  Compensation  Plan.
Although Mr.  McIntyre  became  eligible to participate  in the Defined  Benefit
Deferred  Compensation  Plan as of November 1, 1998,  he will not be included in
the calculation of retirement benefits until November 1, 1999.
    
(4) Mr. Chabris retired as a director of the Company on September 30, 1998.

(5) Totals as a percentage of the Company's net assets as of December 31, 1998.
   
(6)  Total as a  percentage  of the net  assets  of the  INVESCO  Complex  as of
December 31, 1998.

Messrs.  Brady and Williamson,  as "interested  persons" of the Company, and the
INVESCO Funds,  receive  compensation as officers or employees of INVESCO or its
affiliated  companies,   and  do  not  receive  any  director's  fees  or  other
compensation  from the Company or the other funds in the INVESCO Funds for their
service as directors.

The boards of  directors/trustees  of the mutual funds in the INVESCO Funds have
adopted a Defined  Benefit  Deferred  Compensation  Plan  (the  "Plan")  for the
Independent  Directors and Trustees of the funds. Under this Plan, each director
or trustee who is not an  interested  person of the funds (as defined in Section
2(a)(19)  of the  1940  Act)  and who has  served  for at  least  five  years (a
"Qualified  Director") is entitled to receive,  upon termination of service as a
director  (normally,  at the retirement age of 72 or the retirement age of 73 or
74, if the retirement  date is extended by the boards for one or two years,  but
less than three  years),  continuation  of payment for one year (the "First Year
Retirement  Benefit") of the annual basic retainer and annualized  board meeting
fees  payable  by the funds to the  Qualified  Director  at the time of  his/her
retirement (the "Basic  Benefit").  Commencing  with any such director's  second
year of  retirement,  and  commencing  with the first year of  retirement of any
director  whose  retirement  has been  extended by the board for three years,  a
Qualified  Director shall receive quarterly  payments at an annual rate equal to
50% of the Basic Benefit.  These payments will continue for the remainder of the
Qualified  Director's  life or ten  years,  whichever  is longer  (the  "Reduced
Benefit  Payments").  If a Qualified Director dies or becomes disabled after age
72 and  before  age 74 while  still a  director  of the  funds,  the First  Year
Retirement  Benefit and Reduced  Benefit  Payments will be made to him/her or to
his/her  beneficiary or estate. If a Qualified Director becomes disabled or dies
either prior to age 72 or during his/her 74th year while still a director of the
funds,  the director  will not be entitled to receive the First Year  Retirement
Benefit;  however,  the  Reduced  Benefit  Payments  will  be  made  to  his/her
beneficiary  or  estate.  The  Plan is  administered  by a  committee  of  three
directors  who are also  participants  in the Plan and one director who is not a
Plan participant. The cost of the Plan will be allocated among the INVESCO Funds
in a manner  determined to be fair and equitable by the  committee.  The Company
began making  payments  under the Plan to Mr. Chabris as of October 1, 1998. The
Company has no stock options or other pension or retirement plans for management
or other personnel and pays no salary or compensation to any of its officers.

The  Independent  Directors have  contributed to a deferred  compensation  plan,
pursuant to which they have  deferred  receipt of a portion of the  compensation
which they would otherwise have been paid as directors of certain of the INVESCO
Funds.  Certain of the deferred  amounts have been invested in the shares of all
of the INVESCO Funds. Each Independent Director is, therefore, an indirect owner
of shares of all of the  INVESCO  Funds,  in  addition  to any Fund  shares  the
Independent Director may own either directly or beneficially.

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES
   
As the investment  adviser to the Funds,  INVESCO places orders for the purchase
and sale of  securities  with  broker-dealers  based upon an  evaluation  of the
financial   responsibility  of  the   broker-dealers  and  the  ability  of  the
broker-dealers to effect transactions at the best available prices.
    
While INVESCO seeks reasonably  competitive  commission  rates, the Funds do not
necessarily pay the lowest commission or spread available.  INVESCO is permitted
to, and does, consider qualitative factors in addition to price in the selection
of brokers.  Among other  things,  INVESCO  considers  the quality of executions
obtained  on a Fund's  portfolio  transactions,  viewed  in terms of the size of
transactions,  prevailing market  conditions in the security  purchased or sold,
and general  economic and market  conditions.  INVESCO has found that a broker's
consistent ability to execute transactions is at least as important as the price
the broker charges for those services.

In seeking to ensure that the  commissions  charged a Fund are  consistent  with
prevailing and  reasonable  commissions,  INVESCO  monitors  brokerage  industry
practices and commissions charged by broker-dealers on transactions effected for
other institutional investors like the Funds.
   
Consistent  with the  standard  of  seeking  to obtain  favorable  execution  on
portfolio  transactions,  INVESCO  may  select  brokers  that  provide  research
services to INVESCO and the Company,  as well as other INVESCO  mutual funds and
other accounts managed by INVESCO.  Research  services  include  statistical and
analytical  reports  relating to issuers,  industries,  securities  and economic
factors and  trends,  which may be of  assistance  or value to INVESCO in making
informed  investment  decisions.  Research  services  prepared and  furnished by
brokers  through  which a Fund effects  securities  transactions  may be used by
INVESCO in servicing  all of its accounts and not all such  services may be used
by INVESCO in connection  with a particular  Fund.  Conversely,  a Fund receives
benefits  of  research  acquired  through the  brokerage  transactions  of other
clients of INVESCO.
    
   
In order to obtain reliable trade execution and research  services,  INVESCO may
utilize brokers that charge higher  commissions  than other brokers would charge
for the same transaction.  This practice is known as "paying up." However,  even
when paying up, INVESCO is obligated to obtain  favorable  execution of a Fund's
transactions.
    
<PAGE>
Portfolio  transactions  also may be effected  through  brokers and dealers that
recommend the Funds to their clients,  or that act as agent in the purchase of a
Fund's  shares for their  clients.  When a number of  brokers  and  dealers  can
provide comparable best price and execution on a particular transaction, INVESCO
may  consider  the sale of a Fund's  shares by a broker  or dealer in  selecting
among qualified broker-dealers.

fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were:

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, brokers providing research services
received  $83,245 in  commissions  on  portfolio  transactions  effected for the
Funds.  The  aggregate   dollar  amount  of  such  portfolio   transactions  was
$51,987,166.  Commissions  totaling  $78 were  allocated  to certain  brokers in
recognition of their sales of shares of the Funds on portfolio  transactions  of
the Funds effected during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

At December  31,  1998,  each Fund held debt  and/or  equity  securities  of its

CAPITAL STOCK
   
The Company is authorized to issue up to one billion shares of common stock with
a par value of $0.01 per share.  As of March 31, 1999,  the following  shares of
each Fund were outstanding:
    
   
            Blue Chip Growth Fund                25,600
            Dynamics Fund                        25,363
            Equity Income Fund                   3,473,477
            Health Sciences Fund                 188,263
            High Yield Fund                      3,978,373
            Realty Fund                          66,219
            Small Company Growth Fund            141,268
            Technology Fund                      156,773
            Total Return Fund                    2,204,489
            Utilities Fund                       412,595
    

All  shares of each  Fund are of one  class  with  equal  rights  as to  voting,
dividends and liquidation. All shares issued and outstanding are, and all shares
offered hereby, when issued, will be, fully paid and nonassessable. The board of
directors  has the  authority  to designate  additional  classes of common stock
without seeking the approval of shareholders and may classify and reclassify any
authorized but unissued shares.

Shares have no  preemptive  rights and are freely  transferable  on the books of
each Fund.

All shares of the Company  have equal  voting  rights based on one vote for each
share owned. The Company is not generally required, and does not expect, to hold
regular annual  meetings of  shareholders.  However,  when requested to do so in
writing by the holders of 10% or more of the  outstanding  shares of the Company
or  as  may  be  required  by  applicable  law  or  the  Company's  Articles  of
Incorporation,   the  board  of  directors   will  call   special   meetings  of
shareholders.

Directors  may  be  removed  by  action  of the  holders  of a  majority  of the
outstanding  shares  of the  Company.  The Funds  will  assist  shareholders  in
communicating  with other shareholders as required by the Investment Company Act
of 1940.
   
Fund shares have noncumulative  voting rights, which means that the holders of a
majority of the shares of the Company  voting for the  election of  directors of
the  Company  can elect 100% of the  directors  if they choose to do so. If that
occurs, the holders of the remaining shares voting for the election of directors
will not be able to elect any  person  or  persons  to the  board of  directors.
Directors  may  be  removed  by  action  of the  holders  of a  majority  of the
outstanding shares of the Company.
    
<PAGE>
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OWNING SHARES OF THE FUND
   
Each Fund intends to continue to conduct its business and satisfy the applicable
diversification  of assets,  distribution  and source of income  requirements to
qualify as a regulated  investment  company  under  Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Each Fund qualified as a regulated investment
company in the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1998,  and intends to continue to
qualify  during  its  current  fiscal  year.  It is the  policy  of each Fund to
distribute all  investment  company  taxable income and net capital gains.  As a
result of this  policy  and the Funds'  qualification  as  regulated  investment
companies,  it is anticipated  that none of the Funds will pay federal income or
excise  taxes  and that  all of the  Funds  will be  accorded  conduit  or "pass
through" treatment for federal income tax purposes.  Therefore, any taxes that a
Fund would ordinarily owe are paid by its shareholders on a pro-rata basis. If a
Fund does not distribute all of its net investment  income or net capital gains,
it will be subject to income tax on the  amount  that is not  distributed.  If a
Fund does not qualify as a regulated  investment  company, it will be subject to
corporate  tax on its  net  investment  income  and  net  capital  gains  at the
corporate tax rates.
    
If it invests in foreign securities, a Fund may be subject to the withholding of
foreign  taxes on  dividends  or interest  it  receives  on foreign  securities.
Foreign taxes withheld will be treated as an expense of the Fund unless the Fund
meets the qualifications and makes the election to enable it to pass these taxes
through to  shareholders  for use by them as a foreign tax credit or  deduction.
Tax conventions  between  certain  countries and the United States may reduce or
eliminate such taxes.

A Fund  may  invest  in the  stock of  "passive  foreign  investment  companies"
("PFICs"). A PFIC is a foreign corporation that, in general, meets either of the
following  tests:  (1) at least 75% of its gross  income  is  passive  or (2) an
average  value  of at  least  50% of its  assets  produce,  or are  held for the
production of, passive  income.  Each Fund intends to "mark to market" its stock
in any PFIC.  In this context,  "marking to market" means  including in ordinary
income for each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the
PFIC stock over the Fund's adjusted basis in the PFIC stock as of the end of the
year.  In certain  circumstances,  a Fund will also be  allowed  to deduct  from
ordinary income the excess, if any, of its adjusted basis in PFIC stock over the
fair  market  value of the PFIC stock as of the end of the year.  The  deduction
will only be allowed to the extent of any PFIC  mark-to-market  gains recognized
as ordinary  income in prior years (for tax years  beginning  after December 31,
1997).  A Fund's  adjusted  tax basis in each PFIC stock for which it makes this
election will be adjusted to reflect the amount of income  included or deduction
taken under the election.
   
Gains or losses (1) from the  disposition  of foreign  currencies,  (2) from the
disposition  of debt  securities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  that are
attributable to fluctuations  in the value of the foreign  currency  between the
date of acquisition of each security and the date of  disposition,  and (3) that
are attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the time a
Fund accrues  interest,  dividends or other  receivables or accrues  expenses or
other  liabilities  denominated  in a  foreign  currency  and the  time the Fund
actually  collects the  receivables or pays the  liabilities,  generally will be
treated  as  ordinary  income or loss.  These  gains or losses may  increase  or
decrease  the  amount  of a  Fund's  investment  company  taxable  income  to be
distributed to its shareholders.
    
You should consult your contract  prospectus and your own tax adviser  regarding
specific  questions  about federal,  state and local tax issues relating to your
contract.

PERFORMANCE

THE FUNDS' TOTAL  RETURNS DO NOT REFLECT FEES AND  EXPENSES  APPLICABLE  TO YOUR
VARIABLE ANNUITY OR VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACT. If those fees and expenses
were reflected, the returns would be lower. Consult your contract prospectus for
the  amounts  of those  contract  fees and  charges.  To keep  shareholders  and
potential  investors  informed,  INVESCO will occasionally  advertise the Funds'
total return for one-, five-, and ten-year periods (or since  inception).  Total
return  figures  show the rate of  return  on a  $10,000  investment  in a Fund,
assuming  reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain  distributions  for the
periods cited.

Cumulative total return shows the actual rate of return on an investment for the
period  cited;  average  annual  total  return  represents  the  average  annual
percentage  change in the value of an  investment.  Both  cumulative and average
annual total returns tend to "smooth out"  fluctuations  in a Fund's  investment
results, because they do not show the interim variations in performance over the
periods  cited.   More  information  about  the  Funds'  recent  and  historical
performance is contained in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders. You can
get a free copy by  calling or  writing  to  INVESCO  using the phone  number or
address on the back cover of the Funds' Prospectus.

When we quote mutual fund rankings  published by Lipper,  Inc., we may compare a
Fund to others in its appropriate  Lipper  category,  as well as the broad-based
Lipper general fund groupings. These rankings allow you to compare a Fund to its
peers.   Other  independent   financial  media  also  produce   performance-  or
service-related comparisons, which you may see in our promotional materials.

Performance  figures are based on  historical  earnings  and are not intended to
suggest future performance.

Average annual total return  performance  for each of the periods  indicated was
computed  by finding the average  annual  compounded  rates of return that would
equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value,  according to
the following formula:

                                 P(1 + T)(n) = ERV

where:      P = a hypothetical initial payment of $10,000
            T = average annual total return
            n = number of years
            ERV = ending redeemable value of initial payment

The average annual total return performance  figures shown above were determined
by solving the above formula for "T" for each time period indicated.

APPENDIX A

DESCRIPTION OF FUTURES, OPTIONS AND FORWARD CONTRACTS

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES

An option on a security provides the purchaser, or "holder," with the right, but
not the obligation, to purchase, in the case of a "call" option, or sell, in the
case of a "put" option, the security or securities  underlying the option, for a
fixed  exercise  price  up to a  stated  expiration  date.  The  holder  pays  a
non-refundable  purchase  price  for the  option,  known as the  "premium."  The
maximum  amount of risk the  purchaser  of the  option  assumes  is equal to the
premium plus related transaction costs,  although the entire amount may be lost.
The risk of the seller, or "writer," however, is potentially  unlimited,  unless
the option is "covered,"  which is generally  accomplished  through the writer's
ownership  of the  underlying  security,  in the case of a call  option,  or the
writer's  segregation  of an amount of cash or securities  equal to the exercise
price,  in the  case  of a put  option.  If the  writer's  obligation  is not so
covered, it is subject to the risk of the full change in value of the underlying
security from the time the option is written until exercise.

Upon exercise of the option, the holder is required to pay the purchase price of
the  underlying  security,  in the  case of a call  option,  or to  deliver  the
security  in  return  for the  purchase  price,  in the  case  of a put  option.
Conversely,  the writer is required to deliver  the  security,  in the case of a
call option, or to purchase the security,  in the case of a put option.  Options
on  securities  which have been  purchased or written may be closed out prior to
exercise  or  expiration  by  entering  into an  offsetting  transaction  on the
exchange  on  which  the  initial  position  was  established,  subject  to  the
availability of a liquid secondary market.

Options on securities are traded on national securities  exchanges,  such as the
Chicago  Board of Options  Exchange and the New York Stock  Exchange,  which are
regulated  by the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  The Options  Clearing
Corporation  guarantees  the  performance  of each  party to an  exchange-traded
option,  by in effect taking the opposite side of each such option.  A holder or
writer may engage in transactions in  exchange-traded  options on securities and
options on indices of securities only through a registered  broker/dealer  which
is a member of the exchange on which the option is traded.

An option  position  in an  exchange-traded  option may be closed out only on an
exchange  which  provides a secondary  market for an option of the same  series.
Although the Fund will generally  purchase or write only those options for which
there appears to be an active  secondary  market,  there is no assurance  that a
liquid secondary  market on an exchange will exist for any particular  option at
any  particular  time. In such event it might not be possible to effect  closing
transactions in a particular  option with the result that the Fund would have to
exercise  the option in order to realize  any profit.  This would  result in the
Fund  incurring  brokerage   commissions  upon  the  disposition  of  underlying
securities  acquired  through the exercise of a call option or upon the purchase
of  underlying  securities  upon the  exercise of a put  option.  If the Fund as
covered call option writer is unable to effect a closing purchase transaction in
a  secondary  market,  unless the Fund is  required  to deliver  the  securities
pursuant to the  assignment of an exercise  notice,  it will not be able to sell
the underlying security until the option expires.

Reasons for the potential  absence of a liquid  secondary  market on an exchange
include the following: (i) there may be insufficient trading interest in certain
options; (ii) restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening transactions
or closing  transactions  or both;  (iii) trading  halts,  suspensions  or other
restrictions  may be imposed  with  respect to  particular  classes or series of
options or underlying securities:  (iv) unusual or unforeseen  circumstances may
interrupt normal operations on an exchange; (v) the facilities of an exchange or
a  clearing  corporation  may not at all times be  adequate  to  handle  current
trading  volume  or (vi) one or more  exchanges  could,  for  economic  or other
reasons,  decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue  the trading
of  options  (or  particular  class or series  of  options)  in which  event the
secondary  market on that exchange (or in the class or series of options)  would
cease to exist,  although  outstanding  options on that exchange  which had been
issued by a clearing  corporation  as a result of trades on that exchange  would
continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms. There is no assurance
<PAGE>
that higher than anticipated  trading activity or other unforeseen  events might
not,  at a  particular  time,  render  certain of the  facilities  of any of the
clearing  corporations  inadequate and thereby  result in the  institution by an
exchange of special  procedures which may interfere with the timely execution of
customers' orders. However, the Options Clearing Corporation, based on forecasts
provided by the U.S.  exchanges,  believes that its  facilities  are adequate to
handle the  volume of  reasonably  anticipated  options  transactions,  and such
exchanges  have  advised  such  clearing  corporation  that they  believe  their
facilities will also be adequate to handle reasonably anticipated volume.

In  addition,  options  on  securities  may be traded  over-the-counter  through
financial  institutions  dealing  in such  options  as  well  as the  underlying
instruments.  OTC options are  purchased  from or sold  (written)  to dealers or
financial  institutions which have entered into direct agreements with the Fund.
With OTC options,  such variables as expiration date, exercise price and premium
will be agreed upon  between the Fund and the  transacting  dealer,  without the
intermediation of a third party such as the OCC. If the transacting dealer fails
to make or take delivery of the securities  underlying an option it has written,
in accordance with the terms of that option as written,  the Fund would lose the
premium  paid  for  the  option  as  well  as  any  anticipated  benefit  of the
transaction.  The Fund will engage in OTC option  transactions only with primary
U.S. Government securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

A Futures Contract is a bilateral  agreement providing for the purchase and sale
of a specified type and amount of a financial instrument or foreign currency, or
for the making and  acceptance  of a cash  settlement,  at a stated  time in the
future,  for a fixed  price.  By its terms,  a Futures  Contract  provides for a
specified settlement date on which, in the case of the majority of interest rate
and foreign currency futures contracts,  the fixed income securities or currency
underlying  the  contract  are  delivered  by the  seller  and  paid  for by the
purchaser, or on which, in the case of stock index futures contracts and certain
interest rate and foreign currency futures contracts, the difference between the
price at which the contract was entered into and the contract's closing value is
settled between the purchaser and seller in cash.  Futures Contracts differ from
options in that they are bilateral  agreements,  with both the purchaser and the
seller  equally  obligated to complete  the  transaction.  In addition,  Futures
Contracts  call for  settlement  only on the  expiration  date,  and  cannot  be
"exercised" at any other time during their term.

The  purchase or sale of a Futures  Contract  also  differs from the purchase or
sale of a security or the  purchase  of an option in that no  purchase  price is
paid or received.  Instead,  an amount of cash or cash equivalent,  which varies
but may be as low as 5% or less of the value of the contract,  must be deposited
with the broker as "initial margin." Subsequent payments to and from the broker,
referred to as "variation margin," are made on a daily basis as the value of the
index or instrument underlying the Futures Contract fluctuates, making positions
in the Futures  Contract more or less  valuable,  a process known as "marking to
market."

A Futures  Contract may be  purchased  or sold only on an  exchange,  known as a
"contract  market,"  designated by the Commodity Futures Trading  Commission for
the trading of such contract,  and only through a registered  futures commission
merchant which is a member of such contract market. A commission must be paid on
each completed purchase and sale transaction. The contract market clearing house
guarantees  the  performance of each party to a Futures  Contract,  by in effect
taking the opposite side of such  Contract.  At any time prior to the expiration
of a Futures Contract, a trader may elect to close out its position by taking an
opposite position on the contract market on which the position was entered into,
subject  to the  availability  of a  secondary  market,  which  will  operate to
terminate the initial position. At that time, a final determination of variation
margin is made and any loss  experienced by the trader is required to be paid to
the contract  market  clearing  house while any profit due to the trader must be
delivered to it.
<PAGE>
Interest  rate  futures  contracts  currently  are  traded on a variety of fixed
income  securities,  including  long-term U.S.  Treasury Bonds,  Treasury Notes,
Government National Mortgage Association modified  pass-through  mortgage-backed
securities,  U.S.  Treasury Bills,  bank  certificates of deposit and commercial
paper. In addition, interest rate futures contracts include contracts on indices
of municipal securities. Foreign currency futures contracts currently are traded
on the British pound,  Canadian dollar,  Japanese yen, Swiss franc,  West German
mark and on Eurodollar deposits.

OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS

An Option on a Futures Contract provides the holder with the right to enter into
a "long"  position in the  underlying  Futures  Contract,  in the case of a call
option, or a "short" position in the underlying Futures Contract, in the case of
a put  option,  at a fixed  exercise  price to a stated  expiration  date.  Upon
exercise  of the  option by the  holder,  the  contract  market  clearing  house
establishes a corresponding  short position for the writer of the option, in the
case of a call option,  or a corresponding  long position,  in the case of a put
option. In the event that an option is exercised, the parties will be subject to
all the risks associated with the trading of Futures Contracts,  such as payment
of variation margin deposits. In addition,  the writer of an Option on a Futures
contract,  unlike  the  holder,  is  subject to  initial  and  variation  margin
requirements on the option position.

A position in an Option on a Futures Contract may be terminated by the purchaser
or  seller  prior  to  expiration  by  effecting  a  closing  purchase  or  sale
transaction,  subject to the availability of a liquid secondary market, which is
the purchase or sale of an option of the same series  (i.e.,  the same  exercise
price and  expiration  date) as the option  previously  purchased  or sold.  The
difference between the premiums paid and received represents the trader's profit
or loss on the transaction.

An option,  whether  based on a Futures  Contract,  a stock index or a security,
becomes worthless to the holder when it expires. Upon exercise of an option, the
exchange or contract market clearing house assigns  exercise notices on a random
basis to those of its members which have written  options of the same series and
with the same  expiration  date. A brokerage  firm  receiving  such notices then
assigns  them on a random  basis to those of its  customers  which have  written
options of the same  series  and  expiration  date.  A writer  therefore  has no
control over  whether an option will be exercised  against it, nor over the time
of such exercise.

APPENDIX B
BOND RATINGS

The following is a description of Moody's and S&P's bond ratings:

Moody's Corporate Bond Ratings

Aaa - Bonds  rated Aaa are  judged  to be of the best  quality.  They  carry the
smallest   degree  of  investment   risk  and  are  generally   referred  to  as
"gilt-edged."  Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin, and principal is secure.  While the various  protective  elements
are likely to change,  such changes as can be  visualized  are most  unlikely to
impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.  Together
with the Aaa group,  they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds.
They are rated lower than the best bonds because  margins of protection  may not
be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater  amplitude or there may be other  elements  present  which make the long
term risk appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable  investment  attributes,  and are to be
considered  as upper  medium  grade  obligations.  Factors  giving  security  to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa - Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are
neither highly  protected nor poorly  secured.  Interest  payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present but certain protective  elements may be
lacking or may be  characteristically  unreliable over any great length of time.
Such  bonds  lack  outstanding  investment  characteristics  and  in  fact  have
speculative characteristics as well.

Ba - Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements. Their future cannot
be considered as well  assured.  Often the  protection of interest and principal
payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded  during both good
and bad times over the future.  Uncertainty of position  characterizes  bonds in
this class.

B - Bonds rated B generally lack  characteristics  of the desirable  investment.
Assurance of interest and principal  payments or  maintenance  of other terms of
the contract over any longer period of time may be small.

Caa - Bonds  rated Caa are of poor  standing.  Such  issues may be in default or
there may be present  elements of danger with  respect to principal or interest.
<PAGE>
S&P Corporate Bond Ratings

AAA - This is the  highest  rating  assigned  by  Standard  &  Poor's  to a debt
obligation  and  indicates an extremely  strong  capacity to pay  principal  and
interest.

AA - Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt  obligations.  Capacity to
pay principal and interest is very strong, and in the majority of instances they
differ from AAA issues only in small degree.

A - Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest, although
they are  somewhat  more  susceptible  to the  adverse  effects  of  changes  in
circumstances and economic conditions than bonds in higher rated categories.

BBB - Bonds  rated BBB are  regarded  as having an  adequate  capability  to pay
principal  and  interest.  Whereas they  normally  exhibit  adequate  protection
parameters,  adverse  economic  conditions  or changing  circumstances  are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in
this category than for bonds in higher rated categories.

BB - Bonds  rated BB have less  near-term  vulnerability  to default  than other
speculative issues.  However,  they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure
to adverse  business,  financial,  or  economic  conditions  which could lead to
inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.

B - Bonds rated B have a greater vulnerability to default but currently have the
capacity to meet interest payments and principal  repayments.  Adverse business,
financial,  or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to
pay interest and repay principal.

CCC - Bonds rated CCC have a currently identifiable vulnerability to default and
are dependent upon favorable  business,  financial,  and economic  conditions to
meet timely  payment of interest  and  repayment of  principal.  In the event of
adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, they are not likely to have
the capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

determined by a valuation  made in  accordance  with the Fund's  procedures  for
calculating  their net asset value as described in the Fund's  Prospectus and/or
Statement of Additional  Information.  The advisory fee to the Sub-Adviser shall
be computed at the annual rate of 0.30% on the first $500  million of the Fund's

                             SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

      AGREEMENT  made this 6th day of  February,  1998,  by and between  INVESCO
Funds  Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO"),  a Delaware  corporation,  and INVESCO  Realty
Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("the Sub-Adviser").

                                   WITNESSETH:

      WHEREAS,  INVESCO  VARIABLE  INVESTMENT  FUNDS,  INC.  (the  "Company") is
engaged in business as a diversified,  open-end  management  investment  company
registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended  (hereinafter
referred to as the  "Investment  Company  Act") and has one class of shares (the
"Shares"),  which is divided into  series,  each  representing  an interest in a
separate portfolio of investments,  one such series being designated the INVESCO
VIF-Realty Fund (the "Fund"); and

      WHEREAS,  INVESCO and the Sub-Adviser are engaged in rendering  investment
advisory services and are registered as investment advisers under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940; and

       WHEREAS,  INVESCO has entered into an Investment  Advisory Agreement with
the Company (the "INVESCO  Investment  Advisory  Agreement"),  pursuant to which
INVESCO is required to provide investment advisory services to the Company, and,
upon  receipt  of written  approval  of the  Company,  is  authorized  to retain
companies which are affiliated with INVESCO to provide such services; and

      WHEREAS,  the  Sub-Adviser  is  willing  to  provide  investment  advisory
services to the Company on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

      NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  premises  and  the  covenants
hereinafter contained, INVESCO and the Sub-Adviser hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                            DUTIES OF THE SUB-ADVISER

      INVESCO hereby employs the Sub-Adviser to act as investment adviser to the
Company and to furnish the investment advisory services described below, subject
to the broad  supervision of INVESCO and Board of Directors of the Company,  for
the  period and on the terms and  conditions  set forth in this  Agreement.  The
Sub-Adviser hereby accepts such assignment and agrees during such period, at its
own expense,  to render such services and to assume the  obligations  herein set
forth for the compensation  provided for herein.  The Sub-Adviser  shall for all
purposes herein be deemed to be an independent  contractor and, unless otherwise
expressly provided or authorized  herein,  shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Company.


<PAGE>
      The Sub-Adviser  hereby agrees to manage the investment  operations of the
Fund,  subject to the supervision of the Company's  directors (the  "Directors")
and  INVESCO.  Specifically,  the  Sub-Adviser  agrees to perform the  following
services:

      (a) to manage the investment and  reinvestment  of all the assets,  now or
hereafter  acquired,  of the Fund,  and to execute  all  purchases  and sales of
portfolio securities;

      (b) to maintain a continuous  investment program for the Fund,  consistent
with  (i)  the  Fund's  investment  policies  as  set  forth  in  the  Company's
Registration  Statement,  as from time to time  amended,  under  the  Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"),  and in any prospectus  and/or
statement of  additional  information  of the Fund, as from time to time amended
and in use under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and (ii) the Company's
status as a regulated  investment  company  under the  Internal  Revenue Code of
1986, as amended;

      (c) to determine what securities are to be purchased or sold for the Fund,
unless  otherwise  directed by the  Directors of the Company or INVESCO,  and to
execute transactions accordingly;

      (d) to provide to the Fund the benefit of all of the  investment  analysis
and research,  the reviews of current  economic  conditions and trends,  and the
consideration  of  long  range  investment  policy  now or  hereafter  generally
available to investment advisory customers of the Sub-Adviser;

      (e) to  determine  what  portion of the Fund  should be  invested  in the
various types of securities authorized for purchase by the Fund; and

      (f) to make  recommendations  as to the  manner  in which  voting  rights,
rights to consent to Fund action and any other rights  pertaining to each Fund's
portfolio securities shall be exercised.

      With respect to execution of transactions for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser is
authorized to employ such brokers or dealers as may, in the  Sub-Adviser's  best
judgment,  implement  the  policy  of the Fund to  obtain  prompt  and  reliable
execution at the most favorable price  obtainable.  In assigning an execution or
negotiating the commission to be paid therefor, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to
consider  the full range and quality of a broker's  services  which  benefit the
Fund,  including  but not  limited  to  research  and  analytical  capabilities,
reliability of performance, and financial soundness and responsibility. Research
services prepared and furnished by brokers through which the Sub-Adviser effects
securities  transactions on behalf of the Fund may be used by the Sub-Adviser in
servicing  all of its  accounts,  and not all such  services  may be used by the
Sub-Adviser in connection  with the Fund. The Sub-Adviser may follow a policy of
considering  sales  of  shares  of the  Fund as a  factor  in the  selection  of
broker/dealers to execute portfolio transactions, subject to the requirements of
best  execution  discussed  above.  In the  selection  of a broker or dealer for
execution of any negotiated  transaction,  the Sub-Adviser shall have no duty or
obligation to seek advance competitive bidding for the most favorable negotiated
commission  rate for such  transaction,  or to select any  broker  solely on the
basis of its  purported  or  "posted"  commission  rate  for  such  transaction,
provided,  however, that the Sub-Adviser shall consider such "posted" commission
rates, if any, together with any other  information  available at the time as to
the level of commissions known to be charged on comparable transactions by other
qualified   brokerage   firms,  as  well  as  all  other  relevant  factors  and
circumstances,  including  the  size  of  any  contemporaneous  market  in  such
securities, the importance to the Fund of speed, efficiency, and confidentiality
of execution,  the execution  capabilities  required by the circumstances of the
particular transactions,  and the apparent knowledge or familiarity with sources
from or to whom such  securities may be purchased or sold.  Where the commission
rate reflects  services,  reliability and other relevant  factors in addition to
the cost of execution,  the Sub-Adviser  shall have the burden of  demonstrating
that such expenditures were bona fide and for the benefit of the Fund.
<PAGE>

                                   ARTICLE II

                       ALLOCATION OF CHARGES AND EXPENSES

      The  Sub-Adviser  assumes  and  shall  pay for  maintaining  the staff and
personnel necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement,  and shall,
at its own expense, provide the office space, equipment and facilities necessary
to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  Except to the extent expressly
assumed by the Sub-Adviser herein and except to the extent required by law to be
paid by the  Sub-Adviser,  INVESCO  and/or the  Company  shall pay all costs and
expenses in connection with the operations of the Fund.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         COMPENSATION OF THE SUB-ADVISER

      For the services rendered,  facilities furnished,  and expenses assumed by
the  Sub-Adviser,  INVESCO shall pay to the Sub-Adviser an annual fee,  computed
daily  and  paid  as of the  last  day of  each  month,  using  for  each  daily
calculation  the most  recently  determined  net  asset  value of the  Fund,  as
determined by a valuation  made in  accordance  with the Fund's  procedures  for
calculating  their net asset value as described in the Fund's  Prospectus and/or
Statement of Additional  Information.  The advisory fee to the Sub-Adviser shall
be computed at the annual rate of 0.30% of the first $500  million of the Fund's
average  net  assets,  0.25% of the Fund's  average net assets in excess of $500
million  but not more than $1  billion,  and  0.2167% of the Fund's  average net
assets in excess of $1 billion.  During any period when the determination of the
Fund's net asset value is  suspended by the  Directors  of the Company,  the net
asset  value of a share of the Fund as of the last  business  day  prior to such
suspension  shall,  for the purpose of this Article III, be deemed to be the net
asset  value at the  close of each  succeeding  business  day  until it is again
determined.  However,  no such fee shall be paid to the Sub-Adviser with respect
to any assets of the Fund which may be invested in any other investment  company
for which the Sub-Adviser serves as investment  adviser or sub-adviser.  The fee
provided for hereunder shall be prorated in any month in which this Agreement is
not in effect for the entire month. The Sub-Adviser shall be entitled to receive
fees  hereunder  only  for  such  periods  as the  INVESCO  Investment  Advisory
Agreement remains in effect.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF SUB-ADVISER

      The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment,  mistake of
law or for any loss arising out of any  investment or for any act or omission in
the performance of sub-advisory services rendered with respect to the Company or
the Fund, except for willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of its duties or by reason of reckless  disregard of its obligations
and duties hereunder.  As used in this Article IV,  "Sub-Adviser"  shall include
any affiliates of the Sub-Adviser  performing  services  contemplated hereby and
directors, officers and employees of the Sub-Adviser and such affiliates.

                                    ARTICLE V

                          ACTIVITIES OF THE SUB-ADVISER

      The  services  of the  Sub-Adviser  to the Fund are not to be deemed to be
exclusive,  the Sub-Adviser and any person controlled by or under common control
with  the   Sub-Adviser   (for  purposes  of  this  Article  V  referred  to  as
"affiliates")  being free to render  services to others.  It is understood  that
directors, officers, employees and shareholders of the Company are or may become
interested  in the  Sub-Adviser  and its  affiliates,  as  directors,  officers,
employees and shareholders or otherwise and that directors,  officers, employees
and  shareholders of the  Sub-Adviser,  INVESCO and their  affiliates are or may
become interested in the Company as directors, officers and employees.
<PAGE>

                                   ARTICLE VI

                     AVOIDANCE OF INCONSISTENT POSITIONS AND
                         COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS

      In connection  with  purchases or sales of securities  for the  investment
portfolios  of the  Fund,  neither  the  Sub-Adviser  nor any of its  directors,
officers or employees  will act as a principal or agent for any party other than
the Fund or receive  any  commissions.  The  Sub-Adviser  will  comply  with all
applicable laws in acting hereunder including, without limitation,  the 1940 
Act; the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;  and all rules and 
regulations duly promulgated under the foregoing.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                   DURATION AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

      This Agreement  shall become  effective as of the date it is approved by a
majority of the outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund, and shall remain in
force for an initial term of two years from the date of execution, and from year
to year  thereafter  until its  termination in accordance with this Article VII,
but only so long as such continuance is specifically  approved at least annually
by (i)  the  Directors  of the  Company,  or by the  vote of a  majority  of the
outstanding  voting  securities  of the  Fund,  and  (ii) a  majority  of  those
Directors  who are not parties to this  Agreement or  interested  persons of any
such party cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.  In  the  event  of  the  disapproval  of  this  Agreement,  or of the
continuation hereof, by the shareholders of the Fund (or by the Directors of the
Company as to the Fund),  the  parties  intend  that such  disapproval  shall be
effective  only as to the Fund, and that such  disapproval  shall not affect the
validity  of  effectiveness  of  the  approval  of  this  Agreement,  or of  the
continuation hereof, by the shareholders of any other Fund (or by the Directors,
including a majority of the  disinterested  Directors) as to such other Fund; in
such case,  this  Agreement  shall be deemed to have been  validly  approved  or
continued, as the case may be, as to such other Fund.

      This  Agreement may be terminated at any time,  without the payment of any
penalty,  by  INVESCO;  the Fund by vote of a majority of the  Directors  of the
Company; by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund;
or, with respect to a particular  Fund, by a majority of the outstanding  voting
securities  of  that  Fund,  as  the  case  may  be;  or by the  Sub-Adviser.  A
termination  by INVESCO or the  Sub-Adviser  shall  require  sixty days' written
notice to the other party and to the Company,  and a termination  by the Company
shall  require  such  notice  to  each  of the  parties.  This  Agreement  shall
automatically terminate in the event of its assignment to the extent required by
the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Rules thereunder.

      The  Sub-Adviser  agrees to furnish to the  Directors  of the Company such
information  on an annual basis as may  reasonably  be necessary to evaluate the
terms of this Agreement.

      Termination  of  this  Agreement   shall  not  affect  the  right  of  the
Sub-Adviser  to  receive  payments  on any unpaid  balance  of the  compensation
described in Article III hereof earned prior to such termination.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                          AMENDMENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT

      No provision of this Agreement may be orally  changed or  discharged,  but
may only be modified by an instrument in writing signed by the  Sub-Adviser  and
INVESCO.  In addition,  no amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless
approved  by (1)  the  vote  of a  majority  of the  Directors  of the  Company,
including a majority of the Directors  who are not parties to this  Agreement or
interested  persons of any such party cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose  of  voting  on such  amendment  and (2) the vote of a  majority  of the
outstanding  voting securities of the Fund (other than an amendment which can be
effective  without  shareholder  approval under applicable law). In the event of
the  disapproval  of an amendment of this  Agreement  by the  shareholders  of a
particular  Fund (or by the  Directors of the Company as to a particular  Fund),
the parties  intend that such  disapproval  shall be  effective  only as to such
Fund, and that such  disapproval  shall not affect the validity or effectiveness
of the approval of the  amendment by the  shareholders  of any other Fund (or by
the Directors,  including a majority of the disinterested  Directors) as to such
other Fund; in such case,  this  Agreement  shall be deemed to have been validly
amended as to such other Fund.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                          DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS

      In  interpreting  the provisions of this  Agreement,  the terms "vote of a
majority  of the  outstanding  voting  securities,"  "assignments,"  "affiliated
person" and  "interested  person," when used in this  Agreement,  shall have the
respective  meanings  specified in the Investment  Company Act and the Rules and
Regulations thereunder,  subject,  however, to such exemptions as may be granted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                  GOVERNING LAW

      This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Colorado and the applicable  provisions of the Investment Company Act. To the
extent  that  the  applicable  laws  of the  State  of  Colorado,  or any of the
provisions  herein,  conflict with the  applicable  provisions of the Investment
Company Act, the latter shall control.



                                   ARTICLE XI

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      Notice. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed and
delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other party at such address as such
other party may designate for the receipt of such notice.

      Severability.   Each  provision  of  this  Agreement  is  intended  to  be
severable.  If any  provision  of this  Agreement  shall be held illegal or made
invalid by a court  decision,  statute,  rule or otherwise,  such  illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the validity or  enforceability  of the remainder of
this Agreement.

      Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and
identification only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define or
limit the size, extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(the "Agreement").

      WHEREAS, INVESCO and IRAI are affiliated companies;

      WHEREAS, INVESCO desires to change the percentage of the advisory fee that

contained in the  Agreement,  it is agreed that the provisions of Article III of
the Agreement  entitled  "Compensation of the Sub-Adviser" are hereby amended to
read as follows:

      For the services rendered,  facilities furnished,  and expenses assumed by
the  Sub-Adviser,  INVESCO shall pay to the Sub-Adviser an annual fee,  computed
daily  and  paid  as of the  last  day of  each  month,  using  for  each  daily
calculation  the most  recently  determined  net  asset  value of the  Fund,  as
determined by a valuation  made in  accordance  with the Fund's  procedures  for
calculating  their net asset value as described in the Fund's  Prospectus and/or
Statement of Additional  Information.  The advisory fee to the Sub-Adviser shall
be computed at the annual rate of 0.36% on the first $500  million of the Fund's
average net  assets,  0.30% on the next 4500  million of the Fund's  average net
assets, and 0.26% on the Fund's net assets in excess of $1 billion.

      IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties have executed this Agreement on this 
1st day of January, 1998.
