[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON]    INVESTMENT GOALS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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

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

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.

The Fund seeks to make an investment  grow.  It also seeks current  income.
The Fund is actively  managed.  It invests  primarily in equity  securities that
INVESCO believes will rise in price faster than other securities,  as well as in
options and other  investments  whose values are based upon the values of equity
securities. It can also invest in debt securities.

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of large companies that, at the
time of purchase,  have market capitalizations of more than $15 billion and that
have a history of consistent  earnings growth  regardless of the business cycle.
In addition,  INVESCO tries to identify companies that have - or are expected to
have - growing earnings, revenues and strong cash flows. INVESCO also examines a
variety of industries  and  businesses,  and seeks to purchase the securities of
companies  that  we  believe  are  best  situated  to  grow  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.

The Fund is managed in the  growth  style.  At  INVESCO,  growth  investing
starts with research  from the "bottom up," and focuses on company  fundamentals
and growth prospects.

We require that securities purchased for the Fund meet the following standards:
o  Exceptional growth:  The markets and industries they represent are growing
   significantly faster than the economy as a whole.
o  Leadership:  They are leaders -- or emerging  leaders -- in these markets,
   securing their position  through  technology,  marketing,  distribution or
   some other innovative means.
<PAGE>
o  Financial  validation:  Their returns -- in the form of sales unit growth,
   rising   operating   margins,   internal  funding  and  other  factors  --
   demonstrate exceptional growth and leadership.

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 prices 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.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
liquidity,  derivatives,  options  and  futures,  counterparty,  interest  rate,
duration, foreign securities, lack of timely information and credit risks. These
risks are  described and discussed  later in the  Prospectus  under the headings
"Investment  Risks" and  "Risks  Associated  With  Particular  Investments."  An
investment  in the  Fund is not a  deposit  of any bank  and is not  insured  or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other
government  agency.  As with any  mutual  fund,  there is  always a risk that an
investment in the Fund can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND  PERFORMANCE

The bar chart below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the years
ended December 31 (commonly  known as its "total return") since  inception.  The
table below shows  average  annual  total  returns  for  various  periods  ended
December 31 for the Fund compared to the S&P 500 Index.  The  information in the
chart and table  illustrates  the variability of the Fund's total return and how
its  performance  compared to a broad measure of market  performance.  Remember,
past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.


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 chart below contains the following plot points:

(1)  Total  return  figures  include   reinvested   dividends  and  capital gain
     distributions, and include the effect of the Fund's expenses.
(2)  The Fund commenced  investment operations on August 25, 1997.
(3)  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.

FEES AND EXPENSES

                                                        ====

(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 arrangement.

(2)  The expense  information  presented in the table has been  restated from
     the financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3)  Certain  expenses of the Fund were  absorbed  voluntarily  by INVESCO in
     order to ensure that  expenses  for the Fund did not exceed 1.50% of the
     Fund's average net assets pursuant to an agreement  between the Fund and
     INVESCO.   This   commitment  may  be  changed  at  any  time  following
     consultation with the board of directors.  After absorption,  the Fund's
     Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the fiscal year
     ended December 31, 1999 were  ____% and ____%,  respectively,  of the
     Fund's average  net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The 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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:


                     1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years
                     $-----     $-----    $-----   $-----


[ARROWS ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

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>
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.

NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the 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 and changes in the equity markets
as a whole.

[ARROWS 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. In general, the securities of large
businesses  with  outstanding  securities  worth $15  billion  or more have less
volatility than those of mid-size  businesses with outstanding  securities worth
more than $2 billion or small businesses with outstanding  securities worth less
than $2 billion.

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,
described below.
<PAGE>

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 the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the
Fund.

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 movements.

FOREIGN SECURITIES RISKS

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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

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.

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.

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.

The Fund generally invests in common stocks of large companies that, at the
time of purchase,  have market capitalizations of more than $15 billion and 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.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 settlement 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
 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.

 although the market for such securities typically is
 less active than the public securities markets.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

[ARROWS 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,  even though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund.
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.

[ARROWS ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio.  Therefore, the Fund may
have a higher  portfolio  turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The
Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was ____%

A portfolio  turnover rate of 200%, for example,  is equivalent to the Fund
buying and  selling  all of the  securities  in its  portfolio  two times in the
course of a year.  A  comparatively  high  turn-over  rate may  result in higher
brokerage  commissions  and taxable  capital  gain  distributions  to the Fund's
shareholders.

[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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

Foreign securities  exchanges,  which set the prices for foreign securities
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>

[GRAPHS 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.

[GRAPHS 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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The  financial  highlights  table is  intended to help you  understand  the
financial  performance of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the
period of the Fund's  operations).  Certain  information  reflects the financial
results for a single Fund share.  The total  returns in the table  represent the
annual percentages that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment
in  a  share  of  the  Fund   (assuming   reinvestment   of  all  dividends  and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent accountants,  whose report, along with the financial statements, are
included in INVESCO  Variable  Investment  Funds,  Inc.'s 1998 Annual  Report to
Shareholders,   which  is  incorporated  by  reference  into  the  Statement  of
Additional  Information.  This Report is available  without charge by contacting

[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON]    INVESTMENT GOALS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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

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

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.

The Fund seeks to make an investment grow. The Fund is actively managed. It
invests  primarily in equity securities that INVESCO believes will rise in price
faster than other securities,  as well as in options and other investments whose
values  are based upon the values of equity  securities.  It can also  invest in
debt securities, including so-called "junk bonds."

The Fund invests  primarily in common stocks of mid-sized U.S.  companies -
those with market capitalizations between $2 billion and $15 billion at the time
of purchase but also has the flexibility to invest in other types of securities,
including preferred stocks,  convertivble  securities and bonds. The core of the
Fund's  portfolio is invested in securities of  established  companies  that are
leaders in  attractive  growth  markets  with a history of strong  returns.  The
remainder of the  portfolio  is invested in  securities  of companies  that show
accelerating  growth,  drive by product  cycles,  favorable  industry  or sector
conditions  and other factors that INVESCO  believes will lead to rapid sales or
earnings growth.

The Fund's  strategy relies on 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.  Consequently, the Fund's
investments are usually bought and sold relatively frequently.

The Fund is managed in the  growth  style.  At  INVESCO,  growth  investing
starts with research  from the "bottom up," and focuses on company  fundamentals
and growth prospects.
<PAGE>
We require  that  securities  purchased  for the Funds  meet the  following
standards:
o  Exceptional  growth:  The markets and industries they represent are
   growing significantly faster than the economy as a whole.
o  Leadership:  They are leaders -- or emerging  leaders -- in these  markets,
   securing  their  position through  technology,  marketing,  distribution or
   some other  innovative  means.
o  Financial validation: Their returns -- in the form of sales unit growth,
   rising operating margins, internal funding and other factors -- demonstrate
   exceptional growth and leadership.

While the Fund generally invests in mid-sized companies, the Fund sometimes
invests in the securities of smaller  companies.  The prices of these securities
tend to move up and down more rapidly than the securities prices of larger, more
established companies, and the price of Fund shares tends to fluctuate more than
it would if the Fund invested in the securities of larger companies.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  liquidity,  derivatives,  options and futures,  counterparty,  interest
rate, duration, foreign securities, lack of timely information and credit risks.
These  risks are  described  and  discussed  later in the  Prospectus  under the
headings "Investment Risks" and "Risks Associated With Particular  Investments."
An  investment  in the Fund is not a deposit  of any bank and is not  insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other
government  agency.  As with any  mutual  fund,  there is  always a risk that an
investment in the Fund can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar chart  below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the
years ended December 31 (commonly known as its "total return") since  inception.
The table below shows  average  annual total  returns for various  periods ended
December 31 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 total return
and how its  performance  compared  to a broad  measure  of market  performance.
Remember,  past  performance  does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the
future.

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 chart below contains the following plot points:

(3)  The S&P Mid Cap 400 Index is an unmanaged index that shows performance of
     domestic  mid-capitalization  stocks.  Please keep in mind that the Index

     which are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its annual return.

(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 arrangement.

(2) The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from
    the financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3) Certain  expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily  by INVESCO in
    order to ensure that  expenses  for the Fund did not exceed  1.15% of the
    Fund's average net assets  pursuant to an agreement  between the Fund and
    INVESCO.   This   commitment   may  be  changed  at  any  time  following
    consultation with the board of directors.  After  absorption,  the Fund's
    Other  Expenses and Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses for the fiscal
    year ended December 31, 1999 were ____% and ____%,  respectively,  of the
    Fund's average net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The 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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

[ARROWS ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

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:

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.

NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the 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  and  changes in the equity
markets as a whole.


[ARROWS 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. In general, the securities of large
businesses  with  outstanding  securities  worth $15  billion  or more have less
volatility than those of mid-size  businesses with outstanding  securities worth
more than $2 billion or small businesses with outstanding  securities worth less
than $2 billion.

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 deriva tives 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,
described below.

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 the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the
Fund.

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 movements.

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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DELAYED DELIVERY OR WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES                            Market and Interest
 Ordinarily, the Fund purchases securities and pays for them          Rate Risks
 in cash at the normal  trade  settlement  time.  When 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 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                                    Currency,

 public securities markets.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ARROWS 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,  even though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund.
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.

[ARROWS ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio. Therefore, the Funds may
have a higher  portfolio  turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The
Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was ____%

A portfolio  turnover rate of 200%, for example,  is equivalent to the Fund
buying and  selling  all of the  securities  in its  portfolio  two times in the
course of a year.  A  comparatively  high  turn-over  rate may  result in higher
brokerage  commissions  and taxable  capital  gain  distributions  to the Fund's
shareholders.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT

INVESTMENT ADVISER

INVESCO IS A SUBSIDIARY OF AMVESCAP PLC, AN INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
COMPANY THAT MANAGES  MORE THAN $___  BILLION IN ASSETS  WORLDWIDE.  AMVESCAP IS

[INVESCO ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

The following  individuals  are primarily  responsible  for the  day-to-day
management of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

TIMOTHY J. MILLER, a director and senior vice president of INVESCO,  is the
lead portfolio  manager of the Fund.  Before joining  INVESCO in 1992, Tim was a
portfolio manager with Mississippi Valley Advisors.  He is a Chartered Financial
Analyst.  Tim holds an M.B.A.  from the  University of Missouri -St. Louis and a

[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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

<PAGE>
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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The  financial  highlights  table is  intended to help you  understand  the
financial  performance of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the
period of the Fund's  operations).  Certain  information  reflects the financial
results for a single Fund share.  The total  returns in the table  represent the
annual percentages that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment
in  a  share  of  the  Fund   (assuming   reinvestment   of  all  dividends  and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent accountants,  whose report, along with the financial statements, are
included in INVESCO  Variable  Investment  Funds,  Inc.'s 1998 Annual  Report to
Shareholders,   which  is  incorporated  by  reference  into  the  Statement  of
Additional  Information.  This Report is available  without charge by contacting

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

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

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.

The Fund seeks to make an investment  grow.  It also seeks current  income.
The Fund is actively managed.  It invests in a mix of equity securities and debt
securities,  as well as in options and other  investments whose values are based
on the values of these securities. Often, but not always, 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 invests primarily in dividend-paying  common and preferred stocks.
Stocks  selected for the Fund generally are expected to produce  relatively high
levels of income and a consistent,  stable returns. Although the Fund focuses on
the stocks of larger companies with a strong record of paying dividends, it 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.

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 a  portfolio  will  rise and fall due to price  movements  in the
<PAGE>
securities markets,  and the securities held in the Fund's portfolio may decline
in value more than the overall securities markets.  Since INVESCO has discretion
to allocate the amounts of equity  securities  and debt  securities  held by the
Fund,  there is an  additional  risk that the  portfolio  of the Fund may not be
allocated  in the most  advantageous  way  between  equity and debt  securities,
particularly in times of significant market movements.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
credit, debt securities, foreign securities, interest rate, duration, liquidity,
derivatives,  options and futures,  counterparty and lack of timely  information
risks. These risks are described and discussed later in the Prospectus under the
headings "Investment Risks" and "Risks Associated With Particular  Investments."
An  investment  in the Fund is not a deposit  of any bank and is not  insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other
government  agency.  As with any  mutual  fund,  there is  always a risk that an
investment in the Fund can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar chart  below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the
years ended December 31 (commonly known as its "total return") since  inception.
The table below shows  average  annual total  returns for various  periods ended
December  31 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 total returns and how its performance
compared to a broad measure of market  performance.  Remember,  past performance
does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

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 arrangement.

(2) The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from
    the financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3) Certain  expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily  by INVESCO in
    order to ensure  that  expenses  for the Fund did not  exceed  1.15% of the
    Fund's  average net assets  pursuant to an  agreement  between the Fund and
    INVESCO. This commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation
    with the board of directors.  After  absorption,  the Fund's Other Expenses
    and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the fiscal year ended December
    31, 1999 were _____% and _____%,  respectively,  of the Fund's  average net
    assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The 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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

[ARROWS ICON]  INVESTMENT RISKS

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:

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.

NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the 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  and  changes in the equity and
debt markets as a whole.


[ARROWS 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. In general, the securities of large
businesses  with  outstanding  securities  worth $15  billion  or more have less
volatility than those of mid-size  businesses with outstanding  securities worth
more than $2 billion, or small businesses with outstanding securities worth less
than $2 billion.

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
<PAGE>
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 Investors Service,  Inc.  ("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.

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.  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.  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  affect 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  S&P
(categories  BB, B or 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,  provided  that all such
securities are denominated  and pay interest in U.S.  dollars (such as Eurobonds
and Yankee  Bonds).  Securities  of  Canadian  issuers and  American  Depository
Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

<PAGE>
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 movements.

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,
described below.

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 the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the 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.

</TABLE>

[ARROWS 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,  even though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund.
We have the right to invest up to 100% of the Fund's assets in these securities,
<PAGE>
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.

[ARROWS ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio.  Therefore, the Fund may
have a higher  portfolio  turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The
Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was ____%.

A portfolio  turnover rate of 200%, for example,  is equivalent to the Fund
buying and  selling  all of the  securities  in its  portfolio  two times in the
course of a year.  A  comparatively  high  turn-over  rate may  result in higher
brokerage  commissions  and taxable  capital  gain  distributions  to the Fund's
shareholders.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

INVESCO IS A SUBSIDIARY OF AMVESCAP PLC, AN INTERNATIONAL  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
COMPANY THAT MANAGES  MORE THAN $___  BILLION IN ASSETS  WORLDWIDE.  AMVESCAP IS
BASED IN LONDON, WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE, NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA,

a wide variety of other  services for the Funds,  including  administrative  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 ____% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.


[INVESCO ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

The following  individuals  are primarily  responsible  for the  day-to-day
management of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

/ 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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

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.
<PAGE>
[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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The  financial  highlights  table is  intended to help you  understand  the
financial  performance of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the
period of the Fund's  operations).  Certain  information  reflects the financial
results for a single Fund share.  The total  returns in the table  represent the
annual percentages that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment
in  a  share  of  the  Fund   (assuming   reinvestment   of  all  dividends  and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent accountants,  whose report, along with the financial statements, are
included in INVESCO  Variable  Investment  Funds,  Inc.'s 1998 Annual  Report to
Shareholders,   which  is  incorporated  by  reference  into  the  Statement  of
Additional  Information.  This Report is available  without charge by contacting

[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON] INVESTMENT  GOALS,  STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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 direct 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.

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

The Fund invests  primarily in equity  securities of companies  involved in
the financial  services sector.  These companies  include,  among others,  banks
(regional and money-centers),  insurance companies (life, property and casualty,
and multiline),  and investment and  miscellaneous  industries  (asset managers,
brokerage firms,  and  government-sponsored  agencies).  A portion of the Fund's
assets is not  required to be invested in the  sector.  To  determine  whether a
potential investment is truly doing business in the financial services sector, a
company must meet at least one of the following tests:

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

Because  of  accounting  differences  in this  sector,  we place a  greater
emphasis on companies that are increasing their revenue streams along with their
earnings. We seek companies that we believe can grow their revenues and earnings
<PAGE>
regardless of the interest  rate  environment  - although  securities  prices of
financial services companies  generally are interest  rate-sensitive.  We prefer
companies that have both marketing  expertise and superior  technology,  because
INVESCO  believes these companies are more likely to deliver products that match
their  customers'  needs.  We  attempt  to  keep  the  portfolio  holdings  well
diversified  across the entire financial  services  sector.  We adjust portfolio
weightings  depending on current economic  conditions and relative valuations of
securities.

The  Fund's  investments  are  diversified  across the  financial  services
sector.  However,  because the Fund's 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 the Fund tends to be more volatile than many other mutual funds,  and
the value of its portfolio  investments may tend to go up and down more rapidly.
As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may rise or fall rapidly.


This sector is generally subject to extensive government regulation,  which
may change  frequently.  In addition,  the  profitability of businesses in these
industries  depends  heavily upon the  availability  and cost of money,  and may
fluctuate  significantly  in response to changes in interest  rates,  as well as
changes in general economic  conditions.  From time to time, severe  competition
may also  affect  the  profitability  of  these  industries,  and the  insurance
industry in particular.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  credit, debt securities,  foreign securities,  interest rate, duration,
liquidity,  derivatives,  options and futures,  counterparty  and lack of timely
information  risks.  These  risks  are  described  and  discussed  later in this
Prospectus  under the headings  "Investment  Risks" and "Risks  Associated  With
Particular  Investments." An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank
and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
("FDIC") or any other government agency. As with any other mutual fund, there is
always a risk that an investment in the Fund can lose money.


[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The  Fund  commenced  investment  operations  on  September  21,  1999  and
therefore does not have a complete calendar year of performance.

FEES AND EXPENSES

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS

     VIF-FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND
     Management Fees                                    0.75%
     Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees              None
     Other Expenses (1)(2)(3)                           ___%

     Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (1)(2)(3)     ___%
                                                        ====
(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 arrangement.

(2) The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from
    the financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.
<PAGE>
(3) Certain  expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily  by INVESCO in
    order to ensure  that  expenses  for the Fund did not  exceed  1.25% of the
    Fund's  average net assets  pursuant to an  agreement  between the Fund and
    INVESCO. This commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation
    with the board of directors.  After  absorption,  the Fund's Other Expenses
    and Total  Annual  Fund  Operating  Expenses  for the  fiscal  year  ending
    December 31, 1999 were ____% and ____%, respectively, of the Fund's average
    net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The 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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

                    1 year    3 years   5 years   10 years
                    $_____    $______   $______   $_______


[ARROWS 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 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  and  changes in the equity
markets as a whole.

[ARROWS 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
<PAGE>
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 investments. 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 interest rate risks. 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 Investor Services,  Inc.  ("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.

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.  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.  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  affect issuers of lower-rated  debt
securities.  The market for  lower-rated  straight debt securities may not be as
<PAGE>
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  S&P
(categories  BB, B, or 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 RISKS

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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

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
<PAGE>
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 movements.

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.

COUNTERPARTY RISK

This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
derivatives transactions. It is the risk that the other party in the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the 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  that are
related to financial  services.  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.

[ARROWS 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,  even though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund.
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.

[ARROWS ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio.  Therefore, the Fund may
have a higher  portfolio  turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The
Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was ____%

A portfolio  turnover rate of 200%, for example,  is equivalent to the Fund
buying and  selling  all of the  securities  in its  portfolio  two times in the
course of a year.  A  comparatively  high  turn-over  rate may  result in higher
brokerage  commissions  and taxable  capital  gain  distributions  to the Fund's
shareholders.

for more than _______  shareholders of 45 INVESCO mutual funds. INVESCO performs
a wide variety of other  services for the Funds,  including  administrative  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 ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGER

The following  individual is responsible  for the day-to-day  management of
the Fund's portfolio holdings:

JEFFREY G. MORRIS, a vice president of INVESCO, is the portfolio manager of
the Fund. Jeff joined INVESCO in 1992 and served as a research analyst from 1994
to 1995. He received an M.S. in Finance from the  University of  Colorado-Denver
and a B.S. in Business Administration from Colorado State University.

Jeff  Morris  is a member  of  INVESCO's  Sector  Team,  which is co-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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.  Share price
is based on the next  calculation  of NAV after the order is  received in proper
form by the Fund.

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,  at least once a
year. 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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The  financial  highlights  table is  intended to help you  understand  the
financial  performance of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the
period of the Fund's  operations).  Certain  information  reflects the financial
results for a single Fund share.  The total  returns in the table  represent the
annual percentages that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment
in  a  share  of  the  Fund   (assuming   reinvestment   of  all  dividends  and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent accountants,  whose report, along with the financial statements, are

[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON]  INVESTMENT  GOALS,  STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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 direct 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.

The  Fund  seeks  to make an  investment  grow.  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
securities, as well as options and other investments whose values are based upon
the values of equity securities.

The Fund invests  primarily in equity securities of companies that develop,
produce  or  distribute  products  or  services  related to health  care.  These
companies  include,  but are not  limited to,  medical  equipment  or  supplies,
pharmaceuticals, health care facilities, and applied research and development of
new products or services.  A portion of the Fund's  assets is 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:

o At least 50% of its gross income or its net sales must come from activities in
  the sector;
o At least 50% of its assets must be devoted to producing  revenues from the
  sector;  or
o 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.

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
<PAGE>
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.

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 investments of
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 Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  credit, debt securities,  foreign securities,  interest rate, duration,
liquidity,  counterparty and lack of timely  information  risks. These risks are
described and discussed later in the Prospectus  under the headings  "Investment
Risks" and "Risks Associated With Particular  Investments." An investment in the
Fund is not a  deposit  of any  bank and is not  insured  or  guaranteed  by the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other government agency.
As with any mutual fund,  there is always a risk that an  investment in the Fund
can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar chart  below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the
years ended December 31 (commonly known as its "total return") since  inception.
The table below shows  average  annual total  returns for various  periods ended
December 31 for the Fund compared to the S&P 500 Index.  The  information in the
chart and table  illustrates  the variability of the Fund's total return and how
its  performance  compared to a broad measure of market  performance.  Remember,
past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

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 chart below contains the following plot points:

    the figures shown, because its custodian fees were reduced under an expense
    offset arrangement.

(2) The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from
    the financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3) Certain  expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily  by INVESCO in
    order to ensure  that  expenses  for the Fund did not  exceed  1.25% of the
    Fund's  average net assets  pursuant to an  agreement  between the Fund and
    INVESCO. This commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation
    with the board of directors After absorption, the Fund's Other Expenses and
    Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31,
    1999 were ____% and ____%, respectively of the Fund's average net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The 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 that the operating expenses of the Fund remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:


                       1 year      3 years   5 years   10 years
                       $----       $-----    $-----    $-----


<PAGE>
[ARROWS 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 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  and  changes in the equity
markets as a whole.


[ARROWS 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 investments. 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,  bonds  and
commercial  paper.  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 interest rate risks. 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 Investor Services,  Inc.  ("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.

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.  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.  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  affect 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  S&P
(categories  BB, B, or 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 RISKS

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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

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.
<PAGE>
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 movements.


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.

COUNTERPARTY RISK

This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
derivatives transactions. It is the risk that the other party in the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the 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 invests  primarily 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.

[ARROWS 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,  even though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund.
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>
[ARROWS 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 ___% for the fiscal year ended  December
31, 1999.

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

INVESTMENT ADVISER

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

INVESCO,  located at 7800 East Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado, is the investment
adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO was founded in 1932 and manages over $____ billion
for more than _______  shareholders of 45 INVESCO mutual funds. INVESCO performs
a wide variety of other  services for the Funds,  including  administrative  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 ____% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.


[INVESCO ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGER

the Fund's portfolio holdings:

JOHN R. SCHROER,  a senior vice  president of INVESCO and vice president of
INVESCO  Global Health  Sciences  Fund,  is the  portfolio  manager of the Fund.
Before joining  INVESCO in 1992, John was an assistant vice president with Trust
Company of the West from 1990 to 1992. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst. 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).
<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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

(The  financial  highlights  table is intended to help you  understand  the
financial  performance of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the
period of the Fund's  operations).  Certain  information  reflects the financial
results for a single Fund share.  The total  returns in the table  represent the
annual percentages that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment
in  a  share  of  the  Fund   (assuming   reinvestment   of  all  dividends  and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent accountants,  whose report, along with the financial statements, are
included in INVESCO  Variable  Investment  Funds,  Inc.'s 1998 Annual  Report to
Shareholders,   which  is  incorporated  by  reference  into  the  Statement  of
Additional  Information.  This Report is available  without charge by contacting
IDI at the address or telephone number on the back cover of this Prospectus.

[KEY ICON][ARROWS ICON]  INVESTMENT  GOALS,  STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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 direct 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.

The  Fund  seeks  to  provide  a  high  level  of  current  income  through
investments in debt  securities.  It also seeks to make an investment  grow. The
Fund invests in bond and other debt securities,  as well as in preferred stocks.
Often, but not always, when stock markets are up, debt markets are down and vice
versa.

The  Fund  invests  primarily  in a  diversified  portfolio  of high  yield
corporate bonds rated below  investment  grade,  commonly known as "junk bonds,"
and  preferred  stock with medium to lower  credit  ratings.  These  investments
generally  offer higher rates of return,  but are riskier  than  investments  in
securities of issuers with higher credit ratings.

The  rest of the  Fund's  assets  are  invested  in  securities  issued  or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities,  bank CDs,
corporate short-term notes and municipal obligations. The Fund invests primarily
in debt  securities  maturing at least three years after they are issued.  There
are no limitations on the maturities of the securities held by the Fund, and the
Fund's  average  maturity  will vary as INVESCO  responds to changes in interest
rates.

Although  the Fund is subject  to a number of risks  that could  affect its
performance,  its principal  risk is interest rate risk -- that is, the value of
the  securities  in a  portfolio  will rise and fall due to changes in  interest
rates.  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 are usually more
sensitive to interest rate movements.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
credit, debt securities, foreign securities,  duration, liquidity,  counterparty
and lack of timely  information  risks.  These risks are described and discussed
later in the  Prospectus  under  the  headings  "Investment  Risks"  and  "Risks
<PAGE>
Associated  With  Particular  Investments."  An  investment in the Fund is not a
deposit of any bank and is not  insured or  guaranteed  by the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. As with any other
mutual  fund,  there is  always a risk that an  investment  in the Fund can lose
money.


[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar chart  below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the
years ended December 31 (commonly known as its "total return") since  inception.
The table below shows  average  annual total  returns for various  periods ended
December 31 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
total  return  and how its  performance  compared  to a broad  measure of market
performance.  Remember,  past  performance  does not  indicate how the Fund will
perform in the future.

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.

(2) The expense  information  presented in the table has been  restated from
    the financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3) Certain  expenses of the Fund were  absorbed  voluntarily  by INVESCO in
    order to ensure that  expenses  for the Fund did not exceed 1.05% of the
    Fund's average net assets pursuant to an agreement  between the Fund and
    INVESCO.   This   commitment  may  be  changed  at  any  time  following
    consultation with the board of directors.  After absorption,  the Fund's
    Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses for the fiscal
    year ended  December 31, 1999 were ___% and ___%,  respectively,  of the
    Fund's average net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The 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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

                                      1 year    3 years   5 years 10 years

                                       $---       $---     $---     $---

[ARROWS 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 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  and  changes in the equity
markets as a whole.

[ARROWS 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.

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.

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 Investors Service,  Inc.  ("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.

<PAGE>
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.  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  additioto  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.  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  affect 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  S&P
(categories  BB, B, or 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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

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.

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 movements.

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.

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 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.

</TABLE>

[ARROWS 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,  even though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund.
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.

[ARROWS 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, 1999
of ___%.

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

INVESTMENT ADVISER

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

INVESCO,  located at 7800 East Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado, is the investment
adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO was founded in 1932 and manages over $____ billion
for more  than  _________  shareholders  of 45  INVESCO  mutual  funds.  INVESCO
performs  a  wide   variety  of  other   services   for  the  Funds,   including
administrative and transfer agency functions (the processing of purchases, sales
and exchanges of Fund  shares).

<PAGE>
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 ____% of its  average  annual  net assets to INVESCO  for its
advisory services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

[INVESCO ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGER

The  following  individual  is  primarily  responsible  for the  day-to-day
management of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

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

Jerry Paul is a member of, and leads, the INVESCO Fixed-Income 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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

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.
<PAGE>
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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The  financial  highlights  table is  intended to help you  understand  the
financial  performance of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the
period of the Fund's  operations).  Certain  information  reflects the financial
results for a single Fund share.  The total  returns in the table  represent the
annual percentages that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment
in  a  share  of  the  Fund   (assuming   reinvestment   of  all  dividends  and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent accountants,  whose report, along with the financial statements, are
included in INVESCO  Variable  Investment  Funds,  Inc.'s 1998 Annual  Report to
Shareholders,   which  is  incorporated  by  reference  into  the  Statement  of
Additional  Information.  This Report is available  without charge by contacting

[KEY ICON][ARROWS ICON] INVESTMENT  GOALS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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 direct 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.

The objective of the Fund is to outperform the return on  three-month  U.S.
Treasury bills regardless of the movements of the broad securities  market.  The
Fund attempts to achieve its  investment  objective by using a management  style
known as "market neutral."

Under this management  style,  the Fund constructs two portfolios of common
stocks.  Each portfolio  consists of stocks of approximately 100 large companies
that trade on U.S.  exchanges.  INVESCO  purchases  stocks which it expects will
increase  in price for one  portfolio,  and  borrows  and sells  stocks  that it
expects will decline in price  relative to the average owned stock  position for
the  other  portfolio.  The  process  of  borrowing  and  selling  the  borrowed
securities is known as "shorting" or "selling short" a security. The performance
of the portfolio of owned stocks relative to the performance of the portfolio of
borrowed  and sold  stocks  provides  the Fund with its return  relative  to the
three-month U.S. Treasury bill benchmark.

In a rising market,  the value of the  securities  owned by the Fund should
increase. Although the value of the short portfolio should also increase, if the
value of the owned  securities rises more than the value of the short portfolio,
the Fund should generate a better return than the three-month U.S. Treasury bill
return.  In a falling  market,  both owned and borrowed stocks should decline in
price, but if the owned stocks decline less than the borrowed  stocks,  the Fund
also should  generate a better return than the  three-month  U.S.  Treasury bill
return.

The  Fund  diversifies  the two  portfolios  of  common  stocks  by  market
exposure, industry and economic sector. INVESCO seeks to manage the two portions
of the Fund's  holdings so that  securities  owned by the Fund have similar risk
characteristics   to  the  stocks   borrowed  and  sold  short.   The  Fund  has
approximately  10% of its  assets  at any  given  time in  short-term  reserves,
primarily U.S. Treasury bills.
<PAGE>
In  attempting  to determine  which stocks will  outperform  and which will
underperform, INVESCO evaluates more than 500 large companies on a weekly basis.
INVESCO analyzes the earnings momentum,  value,  fundamental stability and price
strength of each  company.  The result is an estimate  of the  expected  monthly
return of each stock.

The  principal  risk involved in investing in the Fund is that INVESCO will
not be able to predict  accurately  which stocks will  outperform and which ones
will underperform. Due to market activity, the portfolio of owned securities and
the  portfolio of borrowed and sold  securities  may produce a complete  loss of
Fund capital;  the Fund has a higher potential risk than other mutual funds that
employ different investment strategies. Such a loss could occur, for example, if
the  portfolio  of owned  securities  rapidly  lost value and the  portfolio  of
securities  sold short rapidly grew in value without an opportunity  for INVESCO
to  rebalance  the  portfolios.  To the extent that the  characteristics  of the
stocks the Fund buys and those it borrows  do not match at any given  time,  the
Fund will not be neutral to market  movements  or the price  movements  of

specific  industries and sectors within the markets,  and the Fund's losses
may exceed those of other  mutual  funds.  In addition,  because the practice of
selling short has an inherent  risk, and because any specific short sale has the
potential for unlimited  loss,  INVESCO seeks to minimize this potential risk by
diversifying the two portfolios.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
short  sales,  counterparty  and market  risks.  These risks are  described  and
discussed later in this  Prospectus  under the headings  "Investment  Risks" and
"Risks Associated With Particular Investments." An investment in the Fund is not
a deposit of any bank and is not insured or  guaranteed  by the Federal  Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. As with any other
mutual  fund,  there is  always a risk that an  investment  in the Fund can lose
money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The  Fund  commenced  investment  operations  on  November  10,  1999,  and
therefore does not have a complete calendar year of performance.

FEES AND EXPENSES

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS

     VIF--MARKET  NEUTRAL FUND
     Management Fees                                    0.75%
     Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees              None
     Other Expenses (1)(2)(3)                           ___%

     Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (1)(2)(3)     ___%
                                                        ====

(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 arrangement.

(2) Certain  expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily  by INVESCO in
    order to ensure  that  expenses  for the Fund did not  exceed  1.25% of the
    Fund's  average net assets  pursuant to an  agreement  between the Fund and
    INVESCO. This commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation
    with the board of directors.  After  absorption,  the Fund's Other Expenses
    and Total  Annual  Fund  Operating  Expenses  for the  fiscal  year  ending
    December 31, 1999 were ____% and ____%, respectively, of the Fund's average
    net assets.
<PAGE>
EXAMPLE

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

The 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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:


                                   1 year     3 years      5 years   10 years
                                   $-----     $------      $------   $-------

[ARROWS 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 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.

[ARROWS 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.

SHORT SALES RISK

A principle investment technique of the Fund is to "sell short" significant
amounts of  securities.  In a short sale,  the Fund sells a security it does not
own in  expectation  that its price will decline  relative to the average  owned
position by the time the Fund closes out a short position.  The Fund borrows the
security from a third party, and is obligated to replace the borrowed security.
<PAGE>
When the Fund sells a security  short,  it borrows the security in order to
enter into the short sale transaction,  and the proceeds of the sale may be used
by the Fund as security for the borrowing to the extent necessary to meet margin
requirements.  The Fund may also be  required  to pay a premium  to  borrow  the
security.

Moreover,  the Fund is  required to maintain a  segregated  account  with a
broker or a custodian consisting of cash or highly liquid securities.  Until the
borrowed security is replaced, the Fund will maintain this account at a level so
that the amount deposited in the account, plus the collateral deposited with the
broker, will equal the current market value of the securities sold short.

COUNTERPARTY RISK

The Fund trades its securities on the basis of "blind principal" bids. This
type of trading  involves stock price  guarantees by brokers that trades will be
implemented  at closing  market  prices.  Although  stock price  guarantees  are
usually met, there is a possibility that they may not be.

MARKET RISK

Equity  stock  prices  vary.  Variations  in  stock  prices  could  have  a
significant impact on the Fund's overall  portfolio,  because of fluctuations in
the valuation of the portfolio of owned securities  compared to the portfolio of
securities sold short.

[ARROWS 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,  even though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund.
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.


[ARROWS ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio.  Therefore, the Fund may
have a higher  portfolio  turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The
Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was ____%.

A portfolio  turnover rate of 200%, for example,  is equivalent to the Fund
buying and  selling  all of the  securities  in its  portfolio  two times in the
course of a year.  A  comparatively  high  turn-over  rate may  result in higher
brokerage  commissions  and taxable  capital  gain  distributions  to the Fund's
shareholders.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT

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

<PAGE>
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 $____ billion
for more than _______  shareholders of 45 INVESCO mutual funds. INVESCO performs
a wide variety of other  services  for the Fund,  including  administrative  and
transfer agency  functions (the processing of purchases,  sales and exchanges of
Fund shares).

INVESCO (NY), Inc. ("INY"). a Division of INVESCO, Inc., 1166 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York 10036, 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, INY and IDI are subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.

The Fund paid ___% of its  average  annual net  assets to  INVESCO  for its
advisory services as of December 31, 1999.

[INVESCO ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGER

The  Fund  is  managed  on a day to day  basis  by  INY,  which  serves  as
sub-adviser to the Fund. INY uses a team management approach, which means that a
group of portfolio managers makes collective investment decisions for the Fund.

[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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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 value 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.  Share price
is based on the next  calculation  of NAV after the order is  received in proper
form by the Fund.

[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,  at least once a
year. 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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The  financial  highlights  table is  intended to help you  understand  the
financial  performance of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the
period of the Fund's  operations).  Certain  information  reflects the financial
results for a single Fund share.  The total  returns in the table  represent the
annual percentages that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment
in  a  share  of  the  Fund   (assuming   reinvestment   of  all  dividends  and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent accountants,  whose report, along with the financial statements, are
included in INVESCO  Variable  Investment  Funds,  Inc.'s 1998 Annual  Report to
Shareholders,   which  is  incorporated  by  reference  into  the  Statement  of
Additional  Information.  This Report is available  without charge by contacting

[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON]  INVESTMENT GOALS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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

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

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.

The Fund seeks to make an investment  grow.  It also seeks current  income.
The  Fund  is  aggressively  managed.  Although  the  Fund  can  invest  in debt
securities, it invests primarily in equity securities that INVESCO believes will
rise in price  faster  than other  securities,  as well as in options  and other
instruments whose values are based upon the values of equity securities.

The Fund invests  primarily in equity  securities of companies doing business in
the real estate  industry.  These  companies may include real estate  investment
trusts, real estate brokers, home builders or real estate developers,  companies
with  substantial   real  estate   holdings,   and  companies  with  significant
involvement in the real estate  industry.  A portion of the Fund's assets is not
required to be invested in the sector.  The  remainder of the Fund's  assets are
invested in other income-producing  securities. 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:

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

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  credit, debt securities,  foreign securities,  interest rate, duration,
liquidity,  counterparty and lack of timely  information  risks. These risks are
described and discussed later in the Prospectus  under the headings  "Investment
Risks" and "Risks  Associated With Particular  Investments."  An investment in a
Fund is not a  deposit  of any  bank and is not  insured  or  guaranteed  by the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other government agency.
As with any mutual fund,  there is always a risk that an  investment in the Fund
can lose money.

[ARROW ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar chart below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the years
ended December 31 (commonly  known as its "total return") since  inception.  The
table below shows  average  annual  total  returns  for  various  periods  ended
December 31 for the Fund compared to the NAREIT Index. The information in the
chart and table  illustrates  the variability of the Fund's total return and how
its  performance  compared to a broad measure of market  performance.  Remember,
past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

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.

Management Fees                                    0.90%
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees              None
Other Expenses (1)(2)(3)                           ___%

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (1)(2)(3)     ___%
                                                   =====

(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.

(2)  The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from the
     financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3)  Certain expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO in order
     to ensure  that  expenses  for the Fund did not exceed  1.35% of the Fund's
     average net assets  pursuant to an agreement  between the Fund and INVESCO.
     This commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation with the
     board of directors.  After absorption,  the Fund's Other Expenses and Total
     Annual Fund Operating  Expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999
     were ____% and ____%, respectively, of the Fund's average net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The  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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

                                 1 year      3 years     5 years    10 years
                                 $____*      $____*      $______    $_______

[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

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:

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.

NOT  INSURED.  Mutual  funds are not  insured  by the 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.
<PAGE>
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.

[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
investments.  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,  bonds and  commercial
paper.  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
interest  rate risks.  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  Investor  Services,  Inc.  ("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.
<PAGE>
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.  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.  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  affect 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 S&P (categories
BB, B, or 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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.


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 movements.

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.

COUNTERPARTY RISK

This  is a  risk  associated  primarily  with  repurchase  agreements  and  some
derivatives transactions. It is the risk that the other party in the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the 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.

[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,  even
though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund. 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, 1999 of ____%.

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

INVESTMENT ADVISER

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

INVESCO,  located at 7800 East Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado, is the investment
adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO was founded in 1932 and manages over $____ billion
for more than _______  shareholders of 45 INVESCO mutual funds. INVESCO performs
a wide variety of other  services for the Funds,  including  administrative  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 ____% of its average annual net assets to INVESCO for its advisory
services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.


[GRAPHIC OMITTED] PORTFOLIO MANAGER

The following individual is primarily  responsible for the day-to-day management
of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

SEAN KATOF,  a portfolio  manager of INVESCO,  is the  portfolio  manager of the
Fund.  Sean  joined  INVESCO in 1994.  He holds an M.S. in Finance and a B.S. in
Business Administration from the University of Colorado in Boulder.

[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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

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.

the Fund's operations). Certain information reflects the financial results for a
single  Fund  share.  The  total  returns  in the  table  represent  the  annual
percentages  that an investor  would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a
share of the Fund (assuming  reinvestment  of all dividends and  distributions).

SEE THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL OR SEMIANNUAL REPORT.

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.

The Fund seeks to make an investment  grow.  The Fund is  actively
managed.  It invests  primarily in equity  securities that INVESCO believes will
rise in price  faster  than other  securities,  as well as in options  and other
investments whose values are based upon the values of equity securities.  It can
also invest in debt securities, including so-called "junk bonds."

The Fund  invests  primarily  in  small-capitalization  companies  -- those with
market  capitalizations  of $2 billion or less at the time of  purchase.  We are
primarily  looking for companies in the developing  stages of their life cycles,
which  are  currently  priced  below our  estimation  of their  potential,  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,  and/or structural  changes in the
economy.

The Fund is managed in the growth style.  At INVESCO,  growth  investing  starts
with  research  from the "bottom  up," and focuses on company  fundamentals  and
growth prospects.

We require that securities purchased for the Fund meet the following standards:
o    Exceptional  growth:  The markets and industries they represent are growing
     significantly faster than the economy as a whole.
o    Leadership:  They are leaders -- or emerging  leaders -- in these  markets,
     securing their position through technology, marketing, distribution or some
     other innovative means.
o    Financial  validation:  Their  returns -- in the form of sales unit growth,
     rising operating margins, internal funding and other factors -- demonstrate
     exceptional growth and leadership.

Investments in small,  developing  companies carry greater risk than investments
in larger,  more  established  companies.  Developing  companies  generally face
intense competition, and have a higher rate of failure than larger companies. On
<PAGE>
the other hand,  large companies were once small companies  themselves,  and the
growth opportunities of some small companies may be quite high.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  liquidity,  derivatives,  options and futures,  counterparty,  interest
rate, duration, foreign securities, lack of timely information and credit risks.
These  risks are  described  and  discussed  later in the  Prospectus  under the
headings "Investment Risks" and "Risks Associated With Particular  Investments."
An  investment  in the Fund is not a deposit  of any bank and is not  insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other
government  agency.  As with any  mutual  fund,  there is  always a risk that an
investment in the Fund can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar chart below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the years
ended December 31 (commonly  known as its "total return") since  inception.  The
table below shows  average  annual  total  returns  for  various  periods  ended
December 31 for the Fund compared to the Russell 2000 Index.  The information in
the chart and table  illustrates the variability of the Fund's total returns and
how its performance compared to a broad measure of market performance. Remember,
past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

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 chart below contains the following plot points:

(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 arrangement.

(2)  The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from the
     financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3)  Certain expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO in order
     to ensure  that  expenses  for the Fund did not exceed  1.25% of the Fund's
     average net assets  pursuant to an agreement  between the Fund and INVESCO.
     This commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation with the
     board of directors.  After absorption,  the Fund's Other Expenses and Total
     Annual Fund Operating  Expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999
     were ____% and ____%, respectively, of the Fund's average net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The  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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

                    1 year      3 years     5 years     10 years
                    $-----      $-----      $-----      $-----


[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

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:

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.

NOT  INSURED.  Mutual  funds are not  insured  by the 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 and changes in the equity markets
as a whole.


[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.  In general,  the  securities of large
businesses  with  outstanding  securities  worth $15  billion  or more have less
volatility than those of mid-size  businesses with outstanding  securities worth
more than $2 billion or small businesses with outstanding  securities worth less
than $2 billion.

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,
described below.

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 the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the
Fund.
<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 movements.

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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

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>
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.

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.

The Fund generally invests in equity securities with market  capitalizations  of
$2 billion or less at the time of purchase.  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.

DELAYED DELIVERY OR
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
Ordinarily, the Fund purchases securities         Market and
and pays for them in cash at the normal           Interest Rate Risks
trade settlement time.  When 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
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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[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,  even
though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund. 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 higher portfolio turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The Fund's
portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was ____%

A portfolio turnover rate of 200%, for example, is equivalent to the Fund buying
and selling all of the  securities in its portfolio two times in the course of a
year.  A  comparatively  high  turn-over  rate may  result in  higher  brokerage
commissions and taxable capital gain distributions to the Fund's shareholders.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT

[INVESCO ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

The following individuals are primarily responsible fo the day-to-day management
of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

STACIE COWELL, a vice president of INVESCO, is the lead portfolio manager of the
Fund.  Before joining  INVESCO in 1997,  Stacie was a senior equity analyst with
Founders  Asset  Management  and with Chase  Manhattan  Bank. She is a Chartered

[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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

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.

the Fund's operations). Certain information reflects the financial results for a
single  Fund  share.  The  total  returns  in the  table  represent  the  annual
percentages  that an investor  would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a
share of the Fund (assuming  reinvestment  of all dividends and  distributions).
This  information has been audited by  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP,  independent
accountants,  whose report, along with the financial statements, are included in
INVESCO Variable  Investment  Funds,  Inc.'s 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders,
which is incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information.

[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON]  INVESTMENT GOALS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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

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

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.

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

The Fund invests  primarily in the equity securities of companies doing business
in the  technology  sector.  These  include,  but are not  limited  to,  applied
technology, biotechnology,  communications, computers, electronics, Internet, IT
services  and   consulting,   oceanography,   office  and  factory   automation,
networking,  robotics and video. 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.  A portion of the Fund's  assets is not required to be
invested in the sector.  To determine  whether a potential  investment  is truly
doing business in the technology sector, a company must meet at least one of the
following tests:

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

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
<PAGE>
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.

The Fund's investments are diversified  across the technology  sector.  However,
because the Fund's investments are limited to a comparatively  narrow segment of
the economy,  the Fund's  investments  are not as  diversified as investments of
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, an investment in the Fund may rise or fall rapidly.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  credit, debt securities,  foreign securities,  interest rate, duration,
liquidity,  counterparty and lack of timely  information  risks. These risks are
described and discussed later in the Prospectus  under the headings  "Investment
Risks" and "Risks Associated With Particular  Investments." An investment in the
Fund is not a  deposit  of any  bank and is not  insured  or  guaranteed  by the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other government agency.
As with any mutual fund,  there is always a risk that an  investment in the Fund
can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar chart below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the years
ended December 31 (commonly  known as its "total return") since  inception.  The
table below shows  average  annual  total  returns  for  various  periods  ended
December 31 for the Fund compared to the S&P 500 Index.  The  information in the
chart and table  illustrates the variability of the Fund's total returns and how
its  performance  compared to a broad measure of market  performance.  Remember,
past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

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 chart below contains the following plot points:

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

(2)  The Fund commenced investment operations on May 21, 1997.

(3)  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.

                                                   ======

(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 arrangement.

(2)  The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from the
     financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3)  Certain expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO in order
     to ensure  that  expenses  for the Fund did not exceed  1.25% of the Fund's
     average net assets  pursuant to an agreement  between the Fund and INVESCO.
     This commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation with the
     board of directors.  After absorption,  the Fund's Other Expenses and Total
     Annual Fund Operating  Expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999
     were ____% and ____%, respectively of the Fund's average net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The  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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

                              1 year      3 years     5 years      10 years
                              $---        $---        $---         $---


<PAGE>
[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 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 and changes in the equity markets
as a whole.

[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
investments.  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  Investor  Services,  Inc.  ("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.

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.  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.  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  affect 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 S&P (categories
BB, B or 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 RISKS

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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

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.
<PAGE>
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 movements.


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.

COUNTERPARTY RISK

This  is a  risk  associated  primarily  with  repurchase  agreements  and  some
derivatives transactions. It is the risk that the other party in the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the 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  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.


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[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,  even
though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund. 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, 1999 of ___%.

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

COMPANY THAT MANAGES  MORE THAN $___  BILLION IN ASSETS  WORLDWIDE.  AMVESCAP IS
BASED IN LONDON, WITH MONEY MANAGERS LOCATED IN EUROPE, NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA,

for more than ________ shareholders of 45 INVESCO mutual funds. INVESCO performs
a wide variety of other  services for the Funds,  including  administrative  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 ____% of its average annual net assets to INVESCO for its advisory
services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

[INVESCO ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGER

Fund's portfolio holdings:

WILLIAM R.  KEITHLER,  a senior  vice  president  of INVESCO,  is the  portfolio
manager of the  Technology  Fund.  Before  joining  INVESCO in 1999,  Bill was a
portfolio  manager  with Berger  Associates,  Inc.  He is a Chartered  Financial

[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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial  highlights table is intended to help you understand the financial
performance  of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the period of
the Fund's operations). Certain information reflects the financial results for a
single  Fund  share.  The  total  returns  in the  table  represent  the  annual
percentages  that an investor  would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a
share of the Fund (assuming  reinvestment  of all dividends and  distributions).

[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON]  INVESTMENT GOALS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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 direct 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.

The Fund seeks to make an investment  grow.  It also seeks current  income.
The Fund is aggressively managed. It invests primarily in equity securities that
INVESCO  believes  will rise in price faster than other  securities,  as well as
options and other  investments  whose values are based upon the values of equity
securities. It can also invest in debt securities.

The Fund  invests  primarily  in the equity  securities  of  companies  that are
engaged  in the  design,  development,  manufacture,  distribution,  or  sale of
communications  services  and  equipment,  and  companies  that are  involved in
supplying equipment or services to such companies.

The telecommunications  sector includes companies that offer telephone services,
wireless  communications,   satellite   communications,   television  and  movie
programming, broadcasting, and Internet access. To determine whether a potential
investment is truly doing business in the  telecommunications  sector, a company
must meet at least one of the following tests:

o    At least 50% of its gross income or its net sales must come from activities
     in the telecommunications sector;
o    At least 50% of its assets must be devoted to producing  revenues  from the
     telecommunications sector; or
o    Based  on other  available  information,  we  determine  that  its  primary
     business is within the telecommunications 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.  We select  stocks  based on projected  total return for  individual
companies, while also analyzing country-specific factors that might affect stock
performance  or  influence  company  valuation.  Normally,  the Fund will invest
primarily in companies located in at least three different  countries,  although
U.S. issuers will often dominate the portfolio.  The Fund's portfolio emphasizes
strongly managed market leaders, with a lesser weighting on small faster growing
companies  which offer new products or services and/or  increasing  their market
share.
<PAGE>
The  Fund's  investments  are  diversified  across  the  telecommunications
sector.  However,  because the Fund's 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 the Fund tends to be more volatile than many other mutual funds,  and
the value of its portfolio  investments may tend to go up and down more rapidly.
As a result,  the value of an  investment  in the Fund may rise or fall rapidly.
The  telecommunications  sector is highly  regulated,  and changes in government
regulation  can  play a  significant  role in the  prospects  of the  sector  or
specific markets within the telecommunications sector.

The Fund is  subject  to other  principal  risks  such as  potential  conflicts,
market,  credit, debt securities,  foreign securities,  interest rate, duration,
liquidity, derivatives, counterparty and lack of timely information risks. These
risks are described and discussed  later in this  Prospectus  under the headings
"Investment  Risks" and  "Risks  Associated  With  Particular  Investments."  An
investment  in the  Fund is not a  deposit  of any bank  and is not  insured  or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other
government  agency.  As with any other mutual fund,  there is always a risk that
an investment in the Fund can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The Fund  commenced  investment  operations on September 21, 1999, and therefore
does not have a complete calendar year of performance.

FEES AND EXPENSES

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS

VIF-TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND
Management Fees                             0.75%
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees        None

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses(1)      ___%
                                            =====

(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.

(2)  The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from the
     financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3)  Certain expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO in order
     to ensure  that  expenses  for the Fund did not exceed  1.25% of the Fund's
     average net assets  pursuant to an agreement  between the Fund and INVESCO.
     This commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation with the
     board of directors.  After absorption,  the Fund's Other Expenses and Total
     Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999
     were ____% and ____%, respectively, of the Fund's average net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The  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
<PAGE>
annuity or variable insurance contract.  The Example also assumes a hypothetical
5% return  each year and that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:


          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.

VOLATILITY.  The price of Fund shares will  increase or decrease with changes in
the value of the Fund's underlying investments and changes in the equity markets
as a whole.

[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
investments.  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
<PAGE>
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
interest rate risk.

Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("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.

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.  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.  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  affect 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 S&P (categories
BB, B or 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 RISKS

Investments  in foreign and emerging  markets  carry  special  risks,  including
currency,  political,  regulatory and diplomatic  risks.  The Fund may invest 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 movements.

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,
described below.

COUNTERPARTY RISK

This  is a  risk  associated  primarily  with  repurchase  agreements  and  some
derivatives transactions. It is the risk that the other party in the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the 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 that are related to
telecommunications.  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,  even
though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund. 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 higher portfolio turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The Fund's
portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was ____%.

A portfolio turnover rate of 200%, for example, is equivalent to the Fund buying
and selling all of the  securities in its portfolio two times in the course of a
year.  A  comparatively  high  turn-over  rate may  result in  higher  brokerage
commissions and taxable capital gain distributions to the Fund's shareholders.

[INVESCO ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGER

The following  individual is responsible  for the  day-to-day  management of the
Fund's portfolio holdings:

BRIAN B. HAYWARD,  a vice president of INVESCO,  is the portfolio manager of the
Fund.  Before  joining  INVESCO in 1997,  Brian was a senior equity analyst with
Mississippi Valley Advisors in St. Louis,  Missouri. He is a Chartered Financial
Analyst.  Brian 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 co-led by William
R. Keithler and John R. Schroer.

[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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.  Share price
is based on the next  calculation  of NAV after the order is  received in proper
form by the Fund.

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,  at least once a
year. 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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial  highlights table is intended to help you understand the financial
performance  of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the period of
the Fund's operations). Certain information reflects the financial results for a
single  Fund  share.  The  total  returns  in the  table  represent  the  annual
percentages  that an investor  would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a
share of the Fund (assuming  reinvestment  of all dividends and  distributions).

[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON]  INVESTMENT GOALS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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

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

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.

The Fund seeks to make an  investment  grow.  It also seeks to provide  you
with current income. The Fund is actively managed. It invests in a mix of equity
securities  and debt  securities,  as well as in options  and other  investments
whose values are based on the values of these securities. Often, but not always,
when stock markets are up, debt markets are down and vice versa. By investing in
both types of  securities,  the Funds  attempt to cushion  against  sharp  price
movements in both equity and debt securities.

The Fund invests primarily in a combination of common stocks of companies with a
strong  history  of paying  regular  dividends.  The Fund also  invests  in debt
securities,   including  obligations  of  the  U.S.  government  and  government
agencies.  The remaining  assets of the Fund are 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. To determine the actual  allocations,  the return that INVESCO believes
is available from each category of  investments  is weighed  against the returns
expected from other categories.  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
prices do 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  its
performance, its principal risk is market risk -- that is, that the price of the
securities  in a  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 securities markets.  Since INVESCO has discretion
<PAGE>
to allocate the amounts of equity  securities  and debt  securities  held by the
Fund,  there is an  additional  risk that the  portfolio  of the Fund may not be
allocated  in the most  advantageous  way  between  equity and debt  securities,
particularly in times of significant market movements.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
credit, debt securities, foreign securities, interest rate, duration, liquidity,
derivatives,  options and futures,  counterparty and lack of timely  information
risks. These risks are described and discussed later in the Prospectus under the
headings "Investment Risks" and "Risks Associated With Particular  Investments."
An  investment  in the Fund is not a deposit  of any bank and is not  insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other
government  agency.  As with any  mutual  fund,  there is  always a risk that an
investment in the Fund can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar chart below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the years
ended December 31 (commonly  known as its "total return") since  inception.  The
table below shows  average  annual  total  returns  for  various  periods  ended
December  31 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 total returns and how its performance
compared to a broad measure of market  performance.  Remember,  past performance
does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

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 chart below contains the following plot points:

(3)  The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index  considered  representative  of 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.

                                                  ======

(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 arrangement.

(2)  The expense  information  presented in the table has been restated from the
     financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3)  Certain expenses of the Fund were absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO in order
     to ensure  that  expenses  for the Fund did not exceed  1.15% of the Fund's
     average net assets  pursuant to an agreement  between the Fund and INVESCO.
     This commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation with the
     board of directors.  After  absorption,  the Fund's Other Expenses andTotal
     Annual Fund Operating  Expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999
     were ____% and ____%, respectively, of the Fund's average net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The  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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would be:

                                 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 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  and  changes in the equity and
debt markets as a whole.

[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  Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("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
<PAGE>
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.

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.  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.  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  affect 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 S&P (categories
BB, B or 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 RISKS

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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

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
<PAGE>
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 movements.

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,
described below.

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
<PAGE>
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 the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the 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.

although the market for such securities
typically is less active than the public

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[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,  even
though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund. 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.
<PAGE>
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 higher portfolio turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The Fund's
portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was ____%.

A portfolio turnover rate of 200%, for example, is equivalent to the Fund buying
and selling all of the  securities in its portfolio two times in the course of a
year.  A  comparatively  high  turn-over  rate may  result in  higher  brokerage
commissions and taxable capital gain distributions to the Fund's shareholders.

[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT

management of the Fund's portfolio holdings:

JAMES O. BAKER, a vice president of ICM, is a co-portfolio  manager of the Fund.

[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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

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.
<PAGE>
[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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial  highlights table is intended to help you understand the financial
performance  of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the period of
the Fund's operations). Certain information reflects the financial results for a
single  Fund  share.  The  total  returns  in the  table  represent  the  annual
percentages  that an investor  would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a
share of the Fund (assuming  reinvestment  of all dividends and  distributions).

[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON]  INVESTMENT GOALS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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

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

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.

The Fund seeks to make an  investment  grow.  It also seeks to provide  you
with current  income.  The Fund is aggressively  managed.  Although the Fund can
invest in debt  securities,  it  invests  primarily  in equity  securities  that
INVESCO believes will rise in price faster than other securities,  as well as in
options and other  instruments  whose values are based upon the values of equity
securities.

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies doing business
in the  utilities  economic  sector.  These  companies  include  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.  A portion of the Fund's
assets is 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:

o At  least  50% of its  gross  income  or its  net  sales  must  come  from
  activities in the utilities economic sector;
o At least 50% of its assets must be devoted to producing  revenues from the
  utilities economic sector; or
o Based  on other  available  information,  we  determine  that its  primary
  business is within the utilities economic 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's  investments  are  diversified  across  the  utilities  sector.
However, because those investments are limited to a comparatively narrow segment
<PAGE>
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 an 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.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  credit, debt securities,  foreign securities,  interest rate, duration,
liquidity,  counterparty and lack of timely  information  risks. These risks are
described and discussed later in the Prospectus  under the headings  "Investment
Risks" and "Risks Associated With Particular Investments."

An  investment in a Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other
government  agency.  As with any  mutual  fund,  there is  always a risk that an
investment in the Fund can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar chart  below shows the Fund's  actual  yearly  performance  for the
years ended December 31 (commonly known as its "total return") since  inception.
The table below shows  average  annual total  returns for various  periods ended
December 31 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
total  returns and how its  performance  compared  to a broad  measure of market
performance.  Remember,  past  performance  does not  indicate how the Fund will
perform in the future.

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 chart below contains the following plot points:

    stocks.  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.

(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 arrangement.

(2) The expense  information  presented in the table has been  restated from
    the financials to reflect a change in the administrative services fee.

(3) Certain  expenses of the Fund were  absorbed  voluntarily  by INVESCO in
    order to ensure that  expenses  for the Fund did not exceed 1.15% of the
    Fund's average net assets pursuant to an agreement  between the Fund and
    INVESCO.   This   commitment  may  be  changed  at  any  time  following
    consultation with the board of directors.  After absorption,  the Fund's
    Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses for the fiscal
    year ended December 31, 1999 were ____% and ____%, respectively,  of the
    Fund's average net assets.

EXAMPLE

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

The 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 that the  Fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.
Although  the actual costs and  performance  of the Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

                                       1 year     3 years   5 years  10 years

[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

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:

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.

NOT INSURED.  Mutual funds are not insured by the 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.

[ARROWS 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 investments. 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,  bonds  and
commercial  paper.  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
<PAGE>
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 interest rate risks. 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 Investor Services,  Inc.  ("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.

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.  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.  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  affect 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  S&P
(categories  BB, B, or 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 RISKS

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.  Securities  of Canadian
issuers and American Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

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.
<PAGE>
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 movements.

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.

COUNTERPARTY  RISK

This is a risk  associated  primarily with  repurchase  agreements and some
derivatives transactions. It is the risk that the other party in the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the 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 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.

</TABLE>

[ARROWS 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,  even though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund.
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.

[ARROWS ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

We actively manage and trade the Fund's portfolio.  Therefore, the Fund may
have a higher  portfolio  turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The
Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was ____%
<PAGE>
A portfolio  turnover rate of 200%, for example,  is equivalent to the Fund
buying and  selling  all of the  securities  in its  portfolio  two times in the
course of a year.  A  comparatively  high  turn-over  rate may  result in higher
brokerage  commissions  and taxable  capital  gain  distributions  to the Fund's
shareholders.



[INVESCO ICON] FUND MANAGEMENT



INVESTMENT ADVISER

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

INVESCO,  located at 7800 East Union Avenue, Denver, Colorado, is the investment
adviser of the Fund.  INVESCO was founded in 1932 and manages over $____ billion
for more than _______  shareholders of 45 INVESCO mutual funds. INVESCO performs
a wide variety of other  services for the Funds,  including  administrative  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 ____% of its average annual net assets to INVESCO for its advisory
services in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.


[INVESCO ICON] PORTFOLIO MANAGER

The following  individual is responsible  for the day-to-day  management of
the Fund's portfolio holdings:

BRIAN B. HAYWARD, a vice president of INVESCO,  is the portfolio manager of
the Fund. Before joining INVESCO in 1997, Brian was a senior equity analyst with
Mississippi Valley Advisors in St. Louis,  Missouri. He is a Chartered Financial
Analyst.  Brian 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 the  regular  trading  day on that  exchange
<PAGE>
(normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern 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.

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.
<PAGE>
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The  financial  highlights  table is  intended to help you  understand  the
financial  performance of the Fund for the past five years (or, if shorter,  the
period of the Fund's  operations).  Certain  information  reflects the financial

[KEY ICON] [ARROWS ICON]  INVESTMENT GOALS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

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

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

The Funds are 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 Funds  directly.  As an owner of a variable
annuity  or  variable  life  insurance  contract  that  offers  the  Funds 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 Funds.

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 Funds.

[KEY ICON] INVESCO VIF--DYNAMICS FUND

The Fund seeks to make an investment grow. The Fund is actively managed. It
invests  primarily in equity securities that INVESCO believes will rise in price
faster than other securities,  as well as in options and other investments whose
values  are based upon the values of equity  securities.  It can also  invest in
debt securities, including so-called "junk bonds."

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of mid-sized U.S.  companies - those
with  market  capitalizations  between $2 billion and $15 billion at the time of
purchase but also has the  flexibility  to invest in other types of  securities,
including preferred stocks,  convertivble  securities and bonds. The core of the
Fund's  portfolio is invested in securities of  established  companies  that are
leaders in  attractive  growth  markets  with a history of strong  returns.  The
remainder of the  portfolio  is invested in  securities  of companies  that show
accelerating  growth,  drive by product  cycles,  favorable  industry  or sector
conditions  and other factors that INVESCO  believes will lead to rapid sales or
earnings growth.

The  Fund's  strategy  relies  on  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.  Consequently, the Fund's
investments are usually bought and sold relatively frequently.

The Fund is managed in the growth style.  At INVESCO,  growth  investing  starts
with  research  from the "bottom  up," and focuses on company  fundamentals  and
growth prospects.

We require that securities purchased for the Funds meet the following standards:
o    Exceptional  growth:  The markets and industries they represent are growing
     significantly faster than the economy as a whole.
o    Leadership:  They are leaders -- or emerging  leaders -- in these  markets,
     securing their position through technology, marketing, distribution or some
     other innovative means.
<PAGE>
o    Financial  validation:  Their  returns -- in the form of sales unit growth,
     rising operating margins, internal funding and other factors -- demonstrate
     exceptional growth and leadership.

While the Fund  generally  invests in mid-sized  companies,  the Fund  sometimes
invests in the securities of smaller  companies.  The prices of these securities
tend to move up and down more rapidly than the securities prices of larger, more
established companies, and the price of Fund shares tends to fluctuate more than
it would if the Fund invested in the securities of larger companies.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  credit, debt securities,  foreign securities,  interest rate, duration,
liquidity,  derivatives,  options and futures,  counterparty and lack of timely
information  risks.  These  risks  are  described  and  discussed  later  in the
Prospectus  under the headings  "Investment  Risks" and "Risks  Associated  With
Particular  Investments." An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank
and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
("FDIC")  or any other  government  agency.  As with any mutual  fund,  there is
always a risk that an investment in the Fund can lose money.

[KEY ICON] INVESCO VIF--FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND

The  Fund  seeks  to make an  investment  grow.  The  Fund is  aggressively
managed.  Although the Fund can invest in debt securities,  tt invests primarily
in equity  securities that INVESCO believes will rise in price faster than other
securities,  as well as in options and other  investments whose values are based
upon the values of equity securities.

The Fund invests  primarily in equity  securities  of companies  involved in the
financial  services  sector.  These  companies  include,   among  others,  banks
(regional and money-centers),  insurance companies (life, property and casualty,
and multiline),  and investment and  miscellaneous  industries  (asset managers,
brokerage firms,  and  government-sponsored  agencies).  A portion of the Fund's
assets is not  required to be invested in the  sector.  To  determine  whether a
potential investment is truly doing business in the financial services sector, a
company must meet at least one of the following tests:

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

Because of accounting differences in this sector, we place a greater emphasis on
companies that are increasing  their revenue  streams along with their earnings.
We seek  companies  that  we  believe  can  grow  their  revenues  and  earnings
regardless of the interest  rate  environment  - although  securities  prices of
financial services companies  generally are interest  rate-sensitive.  We prefer
companies that have both marketing  expertise and superior  technology,  because
INVESCO  believes these companies are more likely to deliver products that match
their  customers'  needs.  We  attempt  to  keep  the  portfolio  holdings  well
<PAGE>
diversified  across the entire financial  services  sector.  We adjust portfolio
weightings  depending on current economic  conditions and relative valuations of
securities.

The Fund's  investments are diversified  across the financial  services  sector.
However,  because the Fund's  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 the Fund tends to be more volatile  than many other mutual funds,  and the
value of its portfolio investments may tend to go up and down more rapidly. As a
result, the value of an investment in the Fund may rise or fall rapidly.

This sector is generally subject to extensive government  regulation,  which may
change  frequently.  In  addition,  the  profitability  of  businesses  in these
industries  depends  heavily upon the  availability  and cost of money,  and may
fluctuate  significantly  in response to changes in interest  rates,  as well as
changes in general economic  conditions.  From time to time, severe  competition
may also  affect  the  profitability  of  these  industries,  and the  insurance
industry in particular.

The Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  credit, debt securities,  foreign securities,  interest rate, duration,
liquidity,  derivatives,  options and futures,  counterparty  and lack of timely
information  risks.  These  risks  are  described  and  discussed  later in this
Prospectus  under the headings  "Investment  Risks" and "Risks  Associated  With
Particular  Investments." An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank
and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
("FDIC") or any other government agency. As with any other mutual fund, there is
always a risk that an investment in the Fund can lose money.

[KEY ICON] INVESCO VIF--HEALTH SCIENCES FUND

The  Fund  seeks  to make an  investment  grow.  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
securities, as well as options and other investments whose values are based upon
the values of equity securities.

The Fund invests  primarily in the equity  securities of companies that develop,
produce  or  distribute  products  or  services  related to health  care.  These
companies  include,  but are not  limited to,  medical  equipment  or  supplies,
pharmaceuticals, health care facilities, and applied research and development of
new products or services.  A portion of the Fund's  assets is 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:

o    At least 50% of its gross income or its net sales must come from activities
     in the sector;
o    At least 50% of its assets must be devoted to producing  revenues  from the
     sector; or
o    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.
<PAGE>
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.

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 Fund is subject to other principal  risks such as potential  conflicts,
market,  credit,  foreign  securities,   interest  rate,  duration,   liquidity,
derivatives,  options and futures,  counterparty and lack of timely  information
risks. These risks are described and discussed later in the Prospectus under the
headings "Investment Risks" and "Risks Associated With Particular  Investments."
An  investment  in the Fund is not a deposit  of any bank and is not  insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") or any other
government  agency.  As with any  mutual  fund,  there is  always a risk that an
investment in the Fund can lose money.

[KEY ICON] INVESCO VIF--TECHNOLOGY FUND

The  Fund  seeks  to make an  investment  grow.  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
securities, as well as options and other investments whose values are based upon
the values of equity securities.

The Fund invests  primarily  in equity  securities  of companies  engaged in the
technology sector.  These include,  but are not limited to, applied  technology,
biotechnology, communications, computers, electronics, Internet, IT services and
consulting,  oceanography,  office and factory automation,  robotics, and video.
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.  A
portion of the Fund's  assets is not  required to be invested in the sector.  To
determine  whether  a  potential  investment  is  truly  doing  business  in the
technology sector, a company must meet at least one of the following tests:

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

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.

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.

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.

("FDIC")  or any other  government  agency.  As with any mutual  fund,  there is
always a risk that an investment in the Fund can lose money.

[KEY ICON] INVESCO VIF--TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND

The Fund seeks to make an  investment  grow.  It also seeks to provide you
with current income. The Fund is aggressively  managed.  It invests primarily in
equity  securities  that INVESCO  believes  will rise in price faster than other
securities, as well as options and other investments whose values are based upon
the values of equity securities. It can also invest in debt securities.

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies that are engaged in
the design, development,  manufacture,  distribution,  or sale of communications
services and equipment,  and companies that are involved in supplying  equipment
or services to such companies.

The telecommunications  sector includes companies that offer telephone services,
wireless  communications,   satellite   communications,   television  and  movie
programming, broadcasting, and Internet access. To determine whether a potential
investment is truly doing business in the  telecommunications  sector, a company
must meet at least one of the following tests:

o    At least 50% of its gross income or its net sales must come from activities
     in the telecommunications sector;
o    At least 50% of its assets must be devoted to producing  revenues  from the
     telecommunications sector; or
o    Based  on other  available  information,  we  determine  that  its  primary
     business is within the telecommunications 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.  We select  stocks  based on projected  total return for  individual
companies, while also analyzing country-specific factors that might affect stock
performance  or  influence  company  valuation.  Normally,  the Fund will invest
primarily in companies located in at least three different  countries,  although
U.S. issuers will often dominate the portfolio.  The Fund's portfolio emphasizes
strongly managed market leaders, with a lesser weighting on small faster growing
companies  which offer new products or services and/or  increasing  their market
share.

The  Fund's  investments  are  diversified  across  the  telecommunications
sector.  However,  because the Fund's 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 the Fund tends to be more volatile than many other mutual funds,  and
the value of its portfolio  investments may tend to go up and down more rapidly.
As a result,  the value of an  investment  in the Fund may rise or fall rapidly.
The  telecommunications  sector is highly  regulated,  and changes in government
regulation  can  play a  significant  role in the  prospects  of the  sector  or
specific markets within the telecommunications sector.

Other principal risks involved in investing in the Fund are market, credit,
debt  securities,  foreign  securities,   interest  rate,  duration,  liquidity,
derivatives,  options and futures,  counterparty and lack of timely  information
risks.  These risks are described and discussed later in this  Prospectus  under
the  headings   "Investment   Risks"  and  "Risks   Associated  With  Particular
Investments."  As with any  other  mutual  fund,  there is always a risk that an
investment in the Fund can lose money.

[GRAPH ICON] FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar charts  below show the VIF -  Dynamics,  VIF - Health  Sciences  and VIF
Technology  Funds' actual  yearly  performance  for the years ended  December 31
(commonly  known as its "total return") since  inception.  The table below shows
average  annual total returns for various  periods ended December 31 for each of
those Funds compared to the following  relevant  indexes:  S&P Mid Cap 400 Index
and S&P 500 Index.  The  information  in the charts  and table  illustrates  the
variability  of each Fund's total return and how its  performance  compared to a
broad  measure  of  market  performance.  Remember,  past  performance  does not
indicate how a Fund will perform in the future.

Each 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  VIF--Financial   Services  and   VIF--Telecommunications   Funds  commenced

EXAMPLE

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of  investing  in the Funds
to the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The  Example  assumes  a  $10,000  allocation  to a 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 that a Fund's  operating  expenses  remain  the same.
Although the actual costs and  performance  of each Fund may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions your costs would have been:

                             1 year    3 years    5 years  10 years
Dynamics Fund                $____     $____      $____    $____

[ARROW ICON] INVESTMENT RISKS

BEFORE  ALLOCATING  CONTRACT VALUES TO A 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 a Fund.  The  principal  risks of any mutual fund,
including the Funds, are:

NOT  INSURED.  Mutual  funds are not  insured  by the 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 Funds  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 a Fund's  underlying  investments and changes in the equity markets
as a whole.


[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 a
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 Funds 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.
<PAGE>
MARKET RISK

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

CREDIT RISK

The Funds 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
interest  rate risks.  An increase in interest  rates tends to reduce the market
values of debt  securities in which a Fund invests.  A decline in interest rates
tends to increase the market values of debt securities in which a Fund invests.

Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("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.

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.  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 a Fund  would  be  forced  to sell it at a loss.  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  affect 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 S&P (categories
BB, B, or 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 RISKS

Investments  in foreign and emerging  markets  carry  special  risks,  including
currency,   political,    regulatory   and   diplomatic   risks.   VIF-Dynamics,
VIF-Financial  Services,  VIF-Health Sciences and VIF-Technology Fund may invest
up   to   25%   of   its   assets   in   securities    of   non-U.S.    issuers;
VIF-Telecommunications  Fund may  invest an  unlimited  amount of its  assets in
securities  of non-U.S.  issuers.  Securities  of Canadian  issuers and American
Depository Receipts are not subject to this 25% limitation.

CURRENCY  RISK.  A change in the exchange  rate between U.S.  dollars and a
foreign currency may reduce the value of a 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
<PAGE>
in a 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 movements.

LIQUIDITY RISK

A 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,
described below.

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 the transaction
will not fulfill its contractual  obligation to complete the transaction  with a
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 VIF--Dynamics Fund generally invests in common stocks of companies traded on
U.S.  securities  exchanges,  as well as  over-the-counter;  and  VIF--Financial
Services,  VIF--Health  Sciences,  VIF--Technology  and  VIF--Telecommunications
Funds  generally  invest in equity  securities of companies  that are related to
their respective sectors.  However, in an effort to diversify their holdings and
provide some protection  against the risk of other  investments,  the Funds 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 a Fund's portfolio, have their own risk.

DELAYED DELIVERY OR                                      VIF-Dynamics
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
 Ordinarily, the Fund purchases  Market and
 securities and pays for         Interest Rate Risks
 them in cash at the normal
 trade settlement time.  When
 the Fund purchases a delayed
 delivery or when-issued secu-
 rity, 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 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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[ARROW ICON] TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

When securities markets or economic conditions are unfavorable or unsettled,  we
might try to protect the assets of each 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,  even
though that is not the normal investment strategy of the Fund. We have the right
to invest up to 100% of each 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,  a Fund's  performance  could be comparatively  lower if it
concentrates in defensive holdings.

[ARROW ICON] PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

We actively manage and trade each Fund's portfolio. Therefore, some of the Funds
may have a high portfolio turnover rate compared to many other mutual funds. The
Funds with  higher than  average  portfolio  turnover  rates for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999 were:

          INVESCO VIF-Dynamics Fund               ____%
          INVESCO VIF-Financial Services Fund     ____%
          INVESCO VIF-Health Sciences Fund        ____%
          INVESCO VIF-Technology Fund             ____%
          INVESCO VIF-Telecommunications Fund     ____%

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 and taxable capital gain distributions to a Fund's shareholders.

[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 a Fund's 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 each  Fund's  portfolio  each day  that the New York  Stock
Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open,  at the close of the  regular  trading  day on that
exchange (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Therefore,  shares of the Funds 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 a 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.

Foreign securities  exchanges,  which set the prices for foreign securities held
by the Funds, 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
<PAGE>
observed by the NYSE and not by overseas exchanges. In this situation, the Funds
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 Funds on that day.

[GRAPH ICON] TAXES

Each 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 a 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 Funds 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.

Each 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 a Fund's  investments,
minus the Fund's  expenses  (including  the advisory fee). All of the Funds' net
realized capital gains, if any, are distributed periodically, no less frequently
than annually.  All dividends and  distributions  of the Funds are reinvested in
additional shares of a Fund at net asset value.

[INVESCO ICON] VOTING RIGHTS

Since the shares of each Fund are owned by your insurance company and not by you
directly,  you will not vote shares of a 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 thirteen portfolios of investments:  INVESCO VIF -- Blue
Chip Growth, INVESCO VIF -- Dynamics,  INVESCO VIF -- Equity Income, INVESCO VIF
- - Financial Services, INVESCO VIF -- Health Sciences, INVESCO VIF -- High Yield,
INVESCO VIF - Market Neutral,  INVESCO VIF -- Real Estate  Opportunity,  INVESCO
VIF  --  Small  Company  Growth,  INVESCO  VIF  --  Technology,  INVESCO  VIF  -
Telecommunications,  INVESCO VIF -- Total  Return and  INVESCO VIF --  Utilities
Funds (each a "Fund" and,  collectively,  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 the
portfolio of each Fund 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 Market Neutral Fund are discussed in
the Fund's  Prospectus.  Market Neutral Fund may invest in equity  securities of
companies  traded on U.S. stock exchanges and U.S.  Treasury bills. In addition,
Market Neutral Fund will engage in short sales.  Please see below for additional
disclosure regarding equity securities and short sales.

The principal investments and policies of the remaining Funds are also discussed
in the  Prospectuses  of the Funds.  The remaining  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.

CERTIFICATES  OF DEPOSIT IN FOREIGN BANKS AND U.S.  BRANCHES OF FOREIGN BANKS --
The Funds may maintain  time deposits in and invest in U.S.  dollar  denominated
CDs issued by foreign banks and U.S.  branches of foreign banks. The Funds limit
investments in foreign bank obligations to U.S. dollar  denominated  obligations
of foreign  banks which have more than $10 billion in assets,  have  branches or
agencies  in the  U.S.,  and meet  other  criteria  established  by the board of
directors.  Investments in foreign  securities  involve special  considerations.
<PAGE>
There is generally less publicly  available  information  about foreign  issuers
since many  foreign  countries  do not have the same  disclosure  and  reporting
requirements  as are  imposed by the U.S.  securities  laws.  Moreover,  foreign
issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting and auditing and financial
reporting  requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable
to  domestic  issuers.  Such  investments  may also entail the risks of possible
imposition of dividend  withholding or  confiscatory  taxes,  possible  currency
blockage  or  transfer  restrictions,  expropriation,  nationalization  or other
adverse  political or economic  developments,  and the  difficulty  of enforcing
obligations in other countries.

The Funds may also  invest  in  bankers'  acceptances,  time  deposits  and
certificates of deposit of U.S.  branches of foreign banks and foreign  branches
of U.S. banks. Investments in instruments of U.S. branches of foreign banks will
be made only with  branches  that are  subject to the same  regulations  as U.S.
banks. Investments in instruments issued by a foreign branch of a U.S. bank will
be made only if the investment  risk associated with such investment is the same
as that involving an investment in instruments  issued by the U.S. parent,  with
the U.S.  parent  unconditionally  liable in the event that the  foreign  branch
fails to pay on the investment for any reason.

COMMERCIAL PAPER -- Commercial paper is the term for short-term promissory notes
issued  by  domestic   corporations  to  meet  current  working  capital  needs.
Commercial paper may be unsecured by the corporation's  assets but may be backed
by a letter of credit from a bank or other financial institution.  The letter of
credit enhances the paper's creditworthiness. The issuer is directly responsible
for payment but the bank  "guarantees"  that if the note is not paid at maturity
by the  issuer,  the bank will pay the  principal  and  interest  to the  buyer.
INVESCO Funds Group,  Inc.  ("INVESCO"),  the Funds'  investment  adviser,  will
consider the  creditworthiness  of the institution issuing the letter of credit,
as well as the  creditworthiness  of the issuer of the  commercial  paper,  when
purchasing paper enhanced by a letter of credit. Commercial paper is sold either
as  interest-bearing or on a discounted basis, with maturities not exceeding 270
days.

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.

Moody's  Investors  Service,  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." High Yield
Fund invests primarily in junk bonds. Equity Income Fund may invest up to 15% of
its portfolio in such securities.  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
<PAGE>
those securities. A debt security is considered lower-grade if it is rated Ba or
less by Moody's, 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,  Equity  Income,  Financial  Services,  Health  Sciences,  Real  Estate
Opportunity, Technology, Telecommunications and Utilites Funds' investments have
generally  been  limited to debt  securities  rated B or higher by either S&P or
Moody's.  Blue Chip Growth,  Dynamics,  Equity Income and Small  Company  Growth
Funds are not  permitted to invest in bonds that are in default or are rated CCC
or below by S&P or Caa or below by Moody's or, if unrated, are judged by INVESCO
to be of  equivalent  quality.  Total Return Fund may invest only in bonds rated
BBB or higher by S&P or Baa or higher by Moody's,  or, if unrated, are judged by
INVESCO to be of  equivalent  quality.  Debt  securities  rated  lower than B by
either S&P or Moody's are usually  considered to be speculative.  At the time of
purchase,  INVESCO will limit Fund  investments to debt securities which INVESCO
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  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 S&P (categories
BB, B or 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.

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



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 A.
<PAGE>
The Funds may  invest  in zero  coupon  bonds,  step-up  bonds,  mortgage-backed
securities and  asset-backed  securities.  Zero coupon bonds do not make regular
interest  payments.  Zero coupon  bonds are sold at a discount  from face value.
Principal and accrued discount  (representing  interest earned but not paid) are
paid at maturity in the amount of the face value.  Step-up bonds  initially make
no (or low) cash interest  payments but begin paying  interest (or a higher rate
of interest) at a fixed time after  issuance of the bond.  The market  values of
zero coupon and step-up bonds generally fluctuate more in response to changes in
interest rates than interest-paying securities of comparable term and quality. A
Fund may be required to distribute income recognized on these bonds, even though
no cash may be paid to the Fund until the  maturity  or call date of a bond,  in
order for the Fund to  maintain  its  qualification  as a  regulated  investment
company.  These required distributions could reduce the amount of cash available
for  investment by a Fund.  Mortgage-backed  securities  represent  interests in
pools of mortgages while asset-backed  securities  generally represent interests
in pools of consumer  loans.  Both of these are  usually set up as  pass-through
securities.  Interest and principal payments ultimately depend on payment of the
underlying loans, although the securities may be supported, at least in part, by
letters   of  credit  or  other   credit   enhancements   or,  in  the  case  of
mortgage-backed  securities,  guarantees by the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.  The  underlying  loans are subject to  prepayments  that may
shorten the securities' weighted average lives and may lower their returns.

DOMESTIC BANK OBLIGATIONS -- U.S. banks (including their foreign branches) issue
certificates of deposit (CDs) and bankers' acceptances which may be purchased by
the Funds if an issuing  bank has total  assets in excess of $5 billion  and the
bank  otherwise  meets the Funds'  credit  rating  requirements.  CDs are issued
against  deposits in a commercial  bank for a specified  period and rate and are
normally negotiable.  Eurodollar CDs are certificates issued by a foreign branch
(usually London) of a U.S.  domestic bank, and, as such, the credit is deemed to
be that  of the  domestic  bank.  Bankers'  acceptances  are  short-term  credit
instruments  evidencing  the  promise  of the  bank  (by  virtue  of the  bank's
"acceptance")  to pay at  maturity  a draft  which  has  been  drawn  on it by a
customer (the  "drawer").  Bankers'  acceptances are used to finance the import,
export,  transfer,  or storage of goods and reflect the  obligation  of both the
bank and the drawer to pay the face amount. Both types of securities are subject
to the ability of the issuing bank to meet its  obligations,  and are subject to
risks common to all debt securities.  In addition,  banker's  acceptances may be
subject to foreign  currency  risk and  certain  other  risks of  investment  in
foreign securities.


EQUITY  SECURITIES -- 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.

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.  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.

<PAGE>
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 the 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.

EUROBONDS  AND YANKEE  BONDS -- The Funds may invest in bonds  issued by foreign
branches of U.S.  banks  ("Eurobonds")  and bonds  issued by a U.S.  branch of a
foreign bank and sold in the United  States  ("Yankee  bonds").  These bonds are
bought and sold in U.S. dollars, but generally carry with them the same risks as
investing in foreign securities.

FOREIGN  SECURITIES -- 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,
<PAGE>
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.

FUTURES, OPTIONS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

GENERAL.  The adviser  and/or  sub-adviser  may use various  types of  financial
instruments,  some of which are derivatives,  to attempt to manage the risk of a
Fund's  investments  or, in certain  circumstances,  for investment  (e.g., as a
substitute for investing in  securities).  These financial  instruments  include
options,  futures  contracts  (sometimes  referred  to  as  "futures"),  forward
contracts,   swaps,   caps,   floors  and  collars   (collectively,   "Financial
Instruments").  The  policies  in this  section  do not apply to other  types of
instruments  sometimes referred to as derivatives,  such as indexed  securities,
mortgage-backed  and other  asset-backed  securities,  and stripped interest and
principal of debt.

Hedging  strategies  can be broadly  categorized as "short" hedges and "long" or
"anticipatory"  hedges. A short hedge involves the use of a Financial Instrument
in order to partially or fully offset  potential  variations in the value of one
or more investments  held in a Fund's  portfolio.  A long or anticipatory  hedge
involves the use of a Financial Instrument in order to partially or fully offset
potential  increases in the acquisition cost of one or more investments that the
Fund intends to acquire. In an anticipatory hedge transaction, the Fund does not
already own a corresponding  security.  Rather, it relates to a security or type
of security that the Fund intends to acquire. If the Fund does not eliminate the
hedge by  purchasing  the  security  as  anticipated,  the  effect on the Fund's
portfolio  is the  same  as if a long  position  were  entered  into.  Financial
Instruments may also be used, in certain circumstances, for investment (e.g., as
a substitute for investing in securities).
<PAGE>
Financial  Instruments on individual securities generally are used to attempt to
hedge against price  movements in one or more  particular  securities  positions
that a Fund  already  owns or  intends  to  acquire.  Financial  Instruments  on
indexes, in contrast, generally are used to attempt to hedge all or a portion of
a portfolio  against price movements of the securities within a market sector in
which the Fund has invested or expects to invest.

The use of Financial  Instruments  is subject to applicable  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC"),  the several  exchanges upon which
they are traded,  and the Commodity  Futures  Trading  Commission  ("CFTC").  In
addition, the Funds' ability to use Financial Instruments will be limited by tax
considerations. See "Tax Consequences of Owning Shares of a Fund."

In addition to the  instruments  and  strategies  described  below,  the adviser
and/or  sub-adviser  may use other  similar or related  techniques to the extent
that they are consistent with a Fund's investment objective and permitted by its
investment  limitations  and  applicable  regulatory  authorities.   The  Funds'
Prospectuses or Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") will be supplemented
to the  extent  that  new  products  or  techniques  become  employed  involving
materially different risks than those described below or in the Prospectuses.

SPECIAL  RISKS.   Financial  Instruments  and  their  use  involve  special
considerations and risks, certain of which are described below.

(1) Financial  Instruments may increase the volatility of a Fund. If the adviser
and/or sub-adviser  employs a Financial  Instrument that correlates  imperfectly
with a Fund's investments, a loss could result, regardless of whether or not the
intent was to manage risk. In addition,  these techniques could result in a loss
if there is not a liquid market to close out a position that a Fund has entered.

(2) There might be imperfect  correlation between price movements of a Financial
Instrument and price movement of the investment(s) being hedged. For example, if
the value of a Financial Instrument used in a short hedge increased by less than
the decline in value of the hedged  investment(s),  the hedge would not be fully
successful.  This might be caused by  certain  kinds of  trading  activity  that
distorts the normal price relationship between the security being hedged and the
Financial  Instrument.  Similarly,  the  effectiveness of hedges using Financial
Instruments  on indexes will depend on the degree of  correlation  between price
movements in the index and price movements in the securities being hedged.

The Funds are  authorized  to use  options  and  futures  contracts  related  to
securities with issuers,  maturities or other characteristics different from the
securities in which it typically invests.  This involves a risk that the options
or  futures  position  will not  track  the  performance  of a Fund's  portfolio
investments.

The direction of options and futures  price  movements can also diverge from the
direction of the movements of the prices of their underlying  instruments,  even
if the  underlying  instruments  match a Fund's  investments  well.  Options and
futures  prices  are  affected  by  such  factors  as  current  and  anticipated
short-term interest rates,  changes in volatility of the underlying  instrument,
and the time remaining  until  expiration of the contract,  which may not affect
security  prices  the same  way.  Imperfect  correlation  may also  result  from
differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities
markets,  from structural  differences in how options and futures and securities
are traded,  or from  imposition  of daily price  fluctuation  limits or trading
halts. A Fund may take positions in options and futures contracts with a greater
or lesser  face  value  than the  securities  it wishes to hedge or  intends  to
purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between
the contract and the  securities,  although  this may not be  successful  in all
cases.
<PAGE>
(3) If successful,  the above-discussed  hedging strategies can reduce risk
of loss by wholly or partially  offsetting  the negative  effect of  unfavorable
price  movements of portfolio  securities.  However,  such  strategies  can also
reduce opportunity for gain by offsetting the positive effect of favorable price
movements. For example, if a Fund entered into a short hedge because the adviser
and/ or sub-adviser projected a decline in the price of a security in the Fund's
portfolio,  and the price of that security increased instead, the gain from that
increase would likely be wholly or partially offset by a decline in the value of
the short position in the Financial  Instrument.  Moreover,  if the price of the
Financial  Instrument  declined  by more than the  increase  in the price of the
security, the Fund could suffer a loss.

(4) A Fund's ability to close out a position in a Financial  Instrument prior to
expiration  or maturity  depends on the degree of liquidity of the market or, in
the absence of such a market,  the ability and willingness of the other party to
the transaction (the "counterparty") to enter into a transaction closing out the
position.  Therefore,  there is no assurance that any position can be closed out
at a time and price that is favorable to a Fund.

(5) As described  below,  the Funds are required to maintain  assets as "cover,"
maintain segregated accounts or make margin payments when they take positions in
Financial Instruments  involving  obligations to third parties (i.e.,  Financial
Instruments other than purchased options).  If a Fund is unable to close out its
positions  in such  Financial  Instruments,  it might be required to continue to
maintain  such assets or  segregated  accounts or make such  payments  until the
position  expired.  These  requirements  might impair a Fund's ability to sell a
portfolio  security or make an investment  at a time when it would  otherwise be
favorable  to do so, or require  that the Fund sell a  portfolio  security  at a
disadvantageous time.

COVER. Positions in Financial Instruments,  other than purchased options, expose
the Funds to an obligation to another party. A Fund will not enter into any such
transaction unless it owns (1) an offsetting ("covered") position in securities,
currencies or other options, futures contracts or forward contracts, or (2) cash
and liquid assets with a value,  marked-to-market daily, sufficient to cover its
obligations  to the extent not covered as provided in (1) above.  The Funds will
comply with SEC guidelines  regarding  cover for these  instruments and will, if
the guidelines so require,  designate cash or liquid assets as segregated in the
prescribed amount as determined daily.

Assets used as cover or held as segregated  cannot be sold while the position in
the  corresponding  Financial  Instrument  is open unless they are replaced with
other appropriate  assets.  As a result,  the commitment of a large portion of a
Fund's  assets  to  cover  or to  hold  as  segregated  could  impede  portfolio
management or the Fund's  ability to meet  redemption  requests or other current
obligations.

OPTIONS. Each Fund may engage in certain strategies involving options to attempt
to  manage  the  risk of its  investments  or,  in  certain  circumstances,  for
investment  (e.g., as a substitute for investing in  securities).  A call option
gives the  purchaser  the right to buy,  and  obligates  the  writer to sell the
underlying  investment  at the  agreed-upon  exercise  price  during  the option
period.  A put option gives the purchaser  the right to sell,  and obligates the
writer to buy the underlying investment at the agreed-upon exercise price during
the option period.  Purchasers of options pay an amount,  known as a premium, to
the option  writer in  exchange  for the right  under the option  contract.  See
"Options on Indexes" below with regard to cash settlement of option contracts on
index values.
<PAGE>
The  purchase of call  options can serve as a hedge  against a price rise of the
underlier  and the purchase of put options can serve as a hedge  against a price
decline of the  underlier.  Writing  call  options can serve as a limited  short
hedge because declines in the value of the hedged  investment would be offset to
the extent of the premium  received  for writing  the  option.  However,  if the
security or currency  appreciates  to a price higher than the exercise  price of
the call option, it can be expected that the option will be exercised and a Fund
will be  obligated  to sell the  security  or  currency  at less than its market
value.

Writing put options can serve as a limited long or  anticipatory  hedge  because
increases in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of
the  premium  received  for  writing the  option.  However,  if the  security or
currency depreciates to a price lower than the exercise price of the put option,
it can be  expected  that the put option  will be  exercised  and a Fund will be
obligated to purchase the security or currency at more than its market value.

The value of an option  position will reflect,  among other things,  the current
market value of the underlying investment,  the time remaining until expiration,
the  relationship  of the exercise  price to the market price of the  underlying
investment, the price volatility of the underlying investment and general market
and interest rate conditions. Options that expire unexercised have no value.

A Fund may  effectively  terminate  its right or  obligation  under an option by
entering  into a closing  transaction.  For example,  the Fund may terminate its
obligation  under a call or put  option  that it had  written by  purchasing  an
identical call or put option, which is known as a closing purchase  transaction.
Conversely,  the Fund may  terminate  a position  in a put or call option it had
purchased  by  writing  an  identical  put or call  option,  which is known as a
closing sale transaction.  Closing transactions permit a Fund to realize profits
or limit losses on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.

RISKS OF OPTIONS ON SECURITIES.  Options embody the possibility of large amounts
of exposure,  which will result in a Fund's net asset value being more sensitive
to changes in the value of the related investment.  A Fund may purchase or write
both  exchange-traded  and OTC  options.  Exchange-traded  options in the United
States are issued by a clearing  organization  affiliated  with the  exchange on
which the option is listed  that,  in  effect,  guarantees  completion  of every
exchange-traded  option  transaction.  In  contrast,  OTC options are  contracts
between a Fund and its counterparty (usually a securities dealer or a bank) with
no clearing organization  guarantee.  Thus, when a Fund purchases an OTC option,
it relies on the counterparty  from whom it purchased the option to make or take
delivery of the underlying  investment  upon exercise of the option.  Failure by
the counterparty to do so would result in the loss of any premium paid by a Fund
as well as the loss of any expected benefit from the transaction.

The Funds' ability to establish and close out positions in options  depends
on the existence of a liquid  market.  However,  there can be no assurance  that
such a market will exist at any particular  time.  Closing  transactions  can be
made for OTC options only by negotiating directly with the counterparty, or by a
transaction in the secondary  market if any such market exists.  There can be no
assurance  that a Fund will in fact be able to close out an OTC option  position
at a favorable  price prior to  expiration.  In the event of  insolvency  of the
counterparty,  a Fund might be unable to close out an OTC option position at any
time prior to the  option's  expiration.  If a Fund is not able to enter into an
offsetting closing  transaction on an option it has written, it will be required
to maintain the securities  subject to the call or the liquid assets  underlying
the put until a closing  purchase  transaction can be entered into or the option
expires. However, there can be no assurance that such a market will exist at any
particular time.
<PAGE>
If a Fund  were  unable to  effect a  closing  transaction  for an option it had
purchased,  it would have to  exercise  the option to realize  any  profit.  The
inability to enter into a closing purchase transaction for a covered call option
written by a Fund could cause  material  losses because the Fund would be unable
to sell the  investment  used as cover for the written  option  until the option
expires or is exercised.

OPTIONS ON  INDEXES.  Puts and calls on indexes are similar to puts and calls on
securities  or futures  contracts  except that all  settlements  are in cash and
changes in value depend on changes in the index in question.  When a Fund writes
a call on an  index,  it  receives  a  premium  and  agrees  that,  prior to the
expiration  date, upon exercise of the call, the purchaser will receive from the
Fund an amount of cash equal to the  positive  difference  between  the  closing
price of the index and the exercise price of the call times a specified multiple
("multiplier"),  which  determines the total dollar value for each point of such
difference.  When a Fund buys a call on an index,  it pays a premium and has the
same rights as to such call as are indicated above. When a Fund buys a put on an
index,  it pays a premium and has the right,  prior to the  expiration  date, to
require  the seller of the put to deliver to the Fund an amount of cash equal to
the positive  difference  between the exercise  price of the put and the closing
price of the index times the  multiplier.  When a Fund writes a put on an index,
it receives a premium and the  purchaser of the put has the right,  prior to the
expiration date, to require the Fund to deliver to it an amount of cash equal to
the positive  difference  between the exercise  price of the put and the closing
level of the index times the multiplier.

The risks of  purchasing  and  selling  options on indexes  may be greater  than
options on  securities.  Because index options are settled in cash,  when a Fund
writes a call on an index it cannot fulfill its potential settlement obligations
by delivering the underlying  securities.  A Fund can offset some of the risk of
writing a call index option by holding a  diversified  portfolio  of  securities
similar to those on which the underlying index is based. However, a Fund cannot,
as a practical matter,  acquire and hold a portfolio containing exactly the same
securities  as underlie the index and, as a result,  bears a risk that the value
of the securities held will vary from the value of the index.

Even  if  a  Fund  could  assemble  a  portfolio  that  exactly  reproduced  the
composition of the underlying  index, it still would not be fully covered from a
risk standpoint  because of the "timing risk" inherent in writing index options.
When an index  option  is  exercised,  the  amount  of cash  that the  holder is
entitled to receive is determined by the  difference  between the exercise price
and the closing index level. As with other kinds of options,  a Fund as the call
writer will not learn what it has been assigned until the next business day. The
time lag between  exercise and notice of assignment poses no risk for the writer
of a covered  call on a  specific  underlying  security,  such as common  stock,
because  in that case the  writer's  obligation  is to  deliver  the  underlying
security,  not to pay its  value as of a moment in the past.  In  contrast,  the
writer of an index call will be required  to pay cash in an amount  based on the
difference between the closing index value on the exercise date and the exercise
price.  By the time a Fund learns what it has been assigned,  the index may have
declined.  This "timing risk" is an inherent  limitation on the ability of index
call writers to cover their risk exposure.

If a Fund has  purchased  an index  option and  exercises  it before the closing
index  value for that day is  available,  it runs the risk that the level of the
underlying index may subsequently  change. If such a change causes the exercised
option to fall  out-of-the-money,  the Fund nevertheless will be required to pay
the  difference  between the closing  index value and the exercise  price of the
option (times the applicable multiplier) to the assigned writer.
<PAGE>
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect
to the underlying instrument,  expiration date, contract size, and strike price,
the terms of OTC  options  (options  not  traded  on  exchanges)  generally  are
established  through  negotiation  with the other party to the option  contract.
While this type of  arrangement  allows a Fund great  flexibility  to tailor the
option  to  its  needs,  OTC  options   generally   involve  greater  risk  than
exchange-traded  options,  which are guaranteed by the clearing  organization of
the exchange where they are traded.

Generally,  OTC  foreign  currency  options  used by a Fund  are  European-style
options. This means that the option is only exercisable immediately prior to its
expiration. This is in contrast to American-style options, which are exercisable
at any time prior to the expiration date of the option.

FUTURES  CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES  CONTRACTS.  When a Fund  purchases or
sells a futures contract,  it incurs an obligation  respectively to take or make
delivery of a specified  amount of the  obligation  underlying the contract at a
specified time and price. When a Fund writes an option on a futures contract, it
becomes  obligated  to assume a position in the futures  contract at a specified
exercise  price at any time  during the term of the  option.  If a Fund writes a
call,  on exercise it assumes a short futures  position.  If it writes a put, on
exercise it assumes a long futures position.

The  purchase  of futures or call  options on futures  can serve as a long or an
anticipatory  hedge,  and the sale of futures or the  purchase of put options on
futures can serve as a short hedge.  Writing  call options on futures  contracts
can serve as a limited  short hedge,  using a strategy  similar to that used for
writing call options on securities or indexes. Similarly, writing put options on
futures contracts can serve as a limited long or anticipatory hedge.

In addition,  futures strategies can be used to manage the "duration" (a measure
of  anticipated  sensitivity  to changes in interest  rates,  which is sometimes
related to the weighted average maturity of a portfolio) and associated interest
rate risk of a Fund's fixed-income  portfolio. If the adviser and/or sub-adviser
wishes to shorten the duration of a Fund's fixed-income  portfolio (i.e., reduce
anticipated sensitivity), the Fund may sell an appropriate debt futures contract
or a call option thereon, or purchase a put option on that futures contract.  If
the  adviser  and/or  sub-adviser  wishes to lengthen  the  duration of a Fund's
fixed-income  portfolio (i.e., increase anticipated  sensitivity),  the Fund may
buy an appropriate debt futures contract or a call option thereon, or sell a put
option thereon.

At the inception of a futures  contract,  a Fund is required to deposit "initial
margin"  in an  amount  generally  equal to 10% or less of the  contract  value.

Initial  margin must also be  deposited  when  writing a call or put option on a
futures  contract,  in accordance  with applicable  exchange  rules.  Subsequent
"variation margin" payments are made to and from the futures broker daily as the
value of the  futures or written  option  position  varies,  a process  known as
"marking-to-market." Unlike margin in securities transactions, initial margin on
futures  contracts and written options on futures contracts does not represent a
borrowing  on  margin,  but  rather is in the  nature of a  performance  bond or
good-faith  deposit  that is  returned  to the  Fund at the  termination  of the
transaction if all contractual  obligations  have been satisfied.  Under certain
circumstances,  such as periods of high  volatility,  a Fund may be  required to
increase the level of initial margin deposits. If the Fund has insufficient cash
to meet daily variation margin requirements, it might need to sell securities in
order to do so at a time when such sales are disadvantageous.
<PAGE>
Purchasers  and  sellers of futures  contracts  and options on futures can enter
into  offsetting  closing  transactions,  similar  to  closing  transactions  on
options, by selling or purchasing,  respectively, an instrument identical to the
instrument  purchased or sold. However,  there can be no assurance that a liquid
market will exist for a particular contract at a particular time. In such event,
it may not be possible to close a futures contract or options position.

Under certain circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the
amount that the price of a futures  contract or an option on a futures  contract
can vary from the previous day's settlement  price;  once that limit is reached,
no trades may be made that day at a price  beyond the limit.  Daily price limits
do not limit  potential  losses because prices could move to the daily limit for
several  consecutive  days  with  little  or  no  trading,   thereby  preventing
liquidation of unfavorable positions.

If a Fund were unable to liquidate a futures  contract or an option on a futures
contract  position due to the absence of a liquid  market or the  imposition  of
price limits, it could incur substantial  losses.  The Fund would continue to be
subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition,  except in the
case of purchased options,  the Fund would continue to be required to make daily
variation  margin  payments  and might be required  to continue to maintain  the
position  being  hedged by the  futures  contract  or option or to  continue  to
maintain cash or securities in a segregated account.

To the extent  that a Fund  enters into  futures  contracts,  options on futures
contracts and options on foreign currencies traded on a CFTC-regulated exchange,
in each case that is not for bona  fide  hedging  purposes  (as  defined  by the
CFTC),  the aggregate  initial margin and premiums  required to establish  these
positions  (excluding the amount by which options are "in-the-money" at the time
of purchase) may not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the Fund's portfolio,
after  taking  into  account  unrealized  profits and  unrealized  losses on any
contracts  the Fund has  entered  into.  This  policy  does not  limit to 5% the
percentage of the Fund's assets that are at risk in futures  contracts,  options
on futures contracts and currency options.

RISKS OF FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS THEREON.  The ordinary spreads at a given
time between  prices in the cash and futures  markets  (including the options on
futures  markets),  due to  differences  in the  natures of those  markets,  are
subject to the following factors.  First, 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 the cash and  futures  markets.  Second,  the  liquidity  of the futures
market depends on participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than
making or taking  delivery.  To the extent  participants  decide to make or take
delivery,  liquidity  in the futures  market  could be reduced,  thus  producing
distortion. Due to the possibility of distortion, a hedge may not be successful.
Although stock index futures contracts do not require physical  delivery,  under
extraordinary market conditions,  liquidity of such futures contracts also could
be reduced. Additionally, the adviser and/or sub-adviser may be incorrect in its
expectations as to the extent of various interest rates, currency exchange rates
or stock  market  movements  or the time span within  which the  movements  take
place.

INDEX FUTURES. The risk of imperfect  correlation between movements in the price
of index  futures  and  movements  in the price of the  securities  that are the
subject of a hedge increases as the composition of a Fund's  portfolio  diverges
from the index.  The price of the index  futures may move  proportionately  more
than or less than the price of the securities being hedged.  If the price of the
index futures moves  proportionately  less than the price of the securities that
are the subject of the hedge,  the hedge will not be fully  effective.  Assuming
<PAGE>
the price of the securities being hedged has moved in an unfavorable  direction,
as anticipated  when the hedge was put into place, the Fund would be in a better
position  than if it had not  hedged at all,  but not as good as if the price of
the index  futures moved in full  proportion  to that of the hedged  securities.
However,  if the price of the  securities  being hedged has moved in a favorable
direction,  this advantage will be partially  offset by movement of the price of
the futures  contract.  If the price of the futures contract moves more than the
price of the securities, the Fund will experience either a loss or a gain on the
futures contract that will not be completely offset by movements in the price of
the securities that are the subject of the hedge.

Where index futures are purchased in an anticipatory  hedge, it is possible that
the market may  decline  instead.  If a Fund then  decides  not to invest in the
securities at that time because of concern as to possible further market decline
or for other reasons, it will realize a loss on the futures contract that is not
offset  by a  reduction  in the  price  of  the  securities  it had  anticipated
purchasing.

FOREIGN  CURRENCY  HEDGING  STRATEGIES--SPECIAL  CONSIDERATIONS.  A Fund may use
options and futures contracts on foreign  currencies,  as mentioned  previously,
and forward currency contracts,  as described below, to attempt to hedge against
movements in the values of the foreign currencies in which the Fund's securities
are  denominated  or, in  certain  circumstances,  for  investment  (e.g.,  as a
substitute  for  investing  in  securities  denominated  in  foreign  currency).
Currency  hedges can protect  against price  movements in a security that a Fund
owns or intends to acquire that are  attributable to changes in the value of the
currency in which it is denominated.

A Fund might seek to hedge against changes in the value of a particular currency
when no Financial  Instruments  on that currency are available or such Financial
Instruments are more expensive than certain other Financial Instruments. In such
cases,  a Fund may seek to hedge  against  price  movements in that  currency by
entering into transactions using Financial  Instruments on another currency or a
basket of currencies, the value of which the adviser and/or sub-adviser believes
will have a high degree of  positive  correlation  to the value of the  currency
being hedged.  The risk that movements in the price of the Financial  Instrument
will not correlate perfectly with movements in the price of the currency subject
to the hedging transaction may be increased when this strategy is used.

The value of Financial Instruments on foreign currencies depends on the value of
the underlying  currency  relative to the U.S. dollar.  Because foreign currency
transactions  occurring  in the  interbank  market might  involve  substantially
larger amounts than those involved in the use of such Financial  Instruments,  a
Fund could be disadvantaged  by having to deal in the odd-lot market  (generally
consisting of transactions  of less than $1 million) for the underlying  foreign
currencies at prices that are less favorable than for round lots.

There is no systematic reporting of last sale information for foreign currencies
or any regulatory requirement that quotations available through dealers or other
market  sources  be firm or  revised on a timely  basis.  Quotation  information
generally is representative  of very large  transactions in the interbank market
and thus  might not  reflect  odd-lot  transactions  where  rates  might be less
favorable.   The   interbank   market  in  foreign   currencies   is  a  global,
round-the-clock  market.  To the extent the U.S.  options or futures markets are
closed while the markets for the underlying currencies remain open,  significant
price and rate movements might take place in the underlying  markets that cannot
be reflected in the markets for the Financial Instruments until they reopen.
<PAGE>
Settlement  of  hedging  transactions  involving  foreign  currencies  might  be
required to take place within the country issuing the underlying currency. Thus,
a Fund might be required to accept or make  delivery of the  underlying  foreign
currency  in  accordance  with any U.S.  or foreign  regulations  regarding  the
maintenance  of foreign  banking  arrangements  by U.S.  residents  and might be
required  to pay any  fees,  taxes and  charges  associated  with such  delivery
assessed in the issuing country.

Forward Currency  Contracts and Foreign Currency  Deposits.  The Funds may enter
into forward  currency  contracts to purchase or sell foreign  currencies  for a
fixed amount of U.S.  dollars or another foreign  currency.  A forward  currency
contract  involves an  obligation  to purchase or sell a specific  currency at a
future  date,  which may be any fixed number of days (term) from the date of the
forward currency contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time
the forward  currency  contract  is  entered.  Forward  currency  contracts  are
negotiated  directly between  currency traders (usually large commercial  banks)
and their customers.

Such transactions may serve as long or anticipatory  hedges. For example, a Fund
may purchase a forward  currency  contract to lock in the U.S. dollar price of a
security  denominated  in a foreign  currency  that the Fund intends to acquire.
Forward currency  contracts may also serve as short hedges.  For example, a Fund
may sell a forward  currency  contract to lock in the U.S. dollar  equivalent of
the proceeds from the  anticipated  sale of a security or a dividend or interest
payment denominated in a foreign currency.

The Funds may also use forward currency  contracts to hedge against a decline in
the value of existing investments  denominated in foreign currency. Such a hedge
would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would
not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A Fund could also
hedge the position by entering into a forward currency  contract to sell another
currency  expected  to perform  similarly  to the  currency  in which the Fund's
existing investments are denominated.  This type of hedge could offer advantages
in terms of cost,  yield or efficiency,  but may not hedge currency  exposure as
effectively  as a simple  hedge  against  U.S.  dollars.  This type of hedge may
result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the
currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

The Funds may also use forward currency contracts in one currency or a basket of
currencies to attempt to hedge against  fluctuations  in the value of securities
denominated in a different  currency if the adviser  anticipates that there will
be a positive correlation between the two currencies.

The cost to a Fund of engaging in forward currency contracts varies with factors
such as the currency involved,  the length of the contract period and the market
conditions  then  prevailing.  Because  forward  currency  contracts are usually
entered into on a principal  basis, no fees or commissions are involved.  When a
Fund enters into a forward currency  contract,  it relies on the counterparty to
make  or  take  delivery  of the  underlying  currency  at the  maturity  of the
contract.  Failure by the counterparty to do so would result in the loss of some
or all of any expected benefit of the transaction.

As is the case  with  futures  contracts,  purchasers  and  sellers  of  forward
currency  contracts can enter into offsetting closing  transactions,  similar to
closing   transactions   on  futures   contracts,   by  selling  or  purchasing,
respectively,  an  instrument  identical  to the  instrument  purchased or sold.
Secondary  markets generally do not exist for forward currency  contracts,  with
the result that closing transactions  generally can be made for forward currency
contracts only by negotiating directly with the counterparty. Thus, there can be
no  assurance  that a Fund will in fact be able to close out a forward  currency
contract at a favorable  price prior to maturity.  In addition,  in the event of
<PAGE>
insolvency of the counterparty,  the Fund might be unable to close out a forward
currency  contract.  In either event,  the Fund would  continue to be subject to
market risk with respect to the position,  and would  continue to be required to
maintain a position in  securities  denominated  in the  foreign  currency or to
segregate cash or liquid assets.

The precise matching of forward  currency  contract amounts and the value of the
securities,  dividends  or  interest  payments  involved  generally  will not be
possible because the value of such securities,  dividends or interest  payments,
measured  in the  foreign  currency,  will  change  after the  forward  currency
contract  has been  established.  Thus,  a Fund might need to  purchase  or sell
foreign  currencies  in the  spot  (cash)  market  to the  extent  such  foreign
currencies  are not covered by forward  currency  contracts.  The  projection of
short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult,  and the successful
execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain.

Forward currency contracts may substantially change a Fund's investment exposure
to changes in currency  exchange rates and could result in losses to the Fund if
currencies do not perform as the adviser anticipates. There is no assurance that
the adviser's and/or  sub-adviser's  use of forward  currency  contracts will be
advantageous to a Fund or that it will hedge at an appropriate time.

The Funds may also  purchase  and sell  foreign  currency  and invest in foreign
currency deposits.  Currency conversion involves dealer spreads and other costs,
although commissions usually are not charged.

COMBINED  POSITIONS.  A Fund may  purchase  and  write  options  or  futures  in
combination  with each other, or in combination with futures or forward currency
contracts,  to  manage  the  risk  and  return  characteristics  of its  overall
position.  For example, a Fund may purchase a put option and write a call option
on the same  underlying  instrument,  in order to construct a combined  position
whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract.
Another  possible  combined  position would involve writing a call option at one
strike price and buying a call option at a lower  price,  in order to reduce the
risk of the written call option in the event of a  substantial  price  increase.
Because combined  options  positions  involve  multiple  trades,  they result in
higher transaction costs.

TURNOVER.  The Funds'  options and futures  activities may affect their turnover
rates and brokerage commission  payments.  The exercise of calls or puts written
by a Fund, and the sale or purchase of futures  contracts,  may cause it to sell
or purchase related investments,  thus increasing its turnover rate. Once a Fund
has received an exercise notice on an option it has written,  it cannot effect a
closing  transaction in order to terminate its  obligation  under the option and
must deliver or receive the  underlying  securities at the exercise  price.  The
exercise  of puts  purchased  by a Fund  may  also  cause  the  sale of  related
investments,  increasing  turnover.  Although such exercise is within the Fund's
control, holding a protective put might cause it to sell the related investments
for  reasons  that would not exist in the  absence of the put. A Fund will pay a
brokerage  commission  each time it buys or sells a put or call or  purchases or
sells a futures  contract.  Such commissions may be higher than those that would
apply to direct purchases or sales.

SWAPS,  CAPS, FLOORS AND COLLARS.  The Funds are authorized to enter into swaps,
caps,  floors and collars.  Swaps involve the exchange by one party with another
party of their  respective  commitments  to pay or receive cash flows,  e.g., an
exchange of floating  rate payments for fixed rate  payments.  The purchase of a
cap or a floor  entitles  the  purchaser,  to the extent that a specified  index
exceeds  in the  case  of a cap,  or  falls  below  in the  case of a  floor,  a
<PAGE>
predetermined value, to receive payments on a notional principal amount from the
party selling such  instrument.  A collar combines  elements of buying a cap and
selling a floor.

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 net  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.

INVESTMENT COMPANY SECURITIES -- To manage their daily cash positions, the Funds
may invest in securities  issued by other  investment  companies  that invest in
short-term  debt  securities and seek to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per
share  ("money  market  funds").  The Funds also may invest in Standard & Poor's
Depository  Receipts ("SPDRs") and shares of other investment  companies.  SPDRs
are investment  companies whose  portfolios  mirror the compositions of specific
S&P  indices,  such as the S&P 500 and the S&P  400.  SPDRs  are  traded  on the
American  Stock  Exchange.  SPDR  holders  such as a Fund are  paid a  "Dividend
Equivalent  Amount" that corresponds to the amount of cash dividends accruing to
the  securities  held by the SPDR Trust,  net of certain fees and expenses.  The
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"),  limits investments
in  securities  of other  investment  companies,  such as the SPDR Trust.  These
limitations include, among others, that, subject to certain exceptions,  no more
than 10% of a  Fund's  total  assets  may be  invested  in  securities  of other
investment  companies and no more than 5% of its total assets may be invested in
the  securities  of any one  investment  company.  As a  shareholder  of another
investment  company,  a Fund  would  bear  its pro  rata  portion  of the  other
investment  company's  expenses,  including  advisory  fees,  in addition to the
expenses the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operations.

REITS -- Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts  are  investment  trusts  that  invest
primarily  in real estate and  securities  of  businesses  connected to the real
estate industry.

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
<PAGE>
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 INVESCO and the
applicable  sub-adviser  must use to review  the  creditworthiness  of any bank,
broker or dealer  that is a 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 15% of the
Fund's net assets  would be invested in these  repurchase  agreements  and other
illiquid securities.

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.

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 restricted 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.

SECURITIES LENDING -- Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities. 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.

SHORT SALES  (Market  Neutral Fund only) -- This  discussion  relates  solely to
Market Neutral Fund; no other Fund intends to sell  securities  short (except to
sell short  "against the box.").  Market Neutral Fund will sell a security short
and borrow the same security from a broker or other  institution to complete the
sale.  Market  Neutral Fund will lose money on a short sale  transaction  if the
price of the borrowed security  increases between the date of the short sale and
<PAGE>
the date on which the Fund closes the short position;  conversely,  the Fund may
realize a gain if the price of the  borrowed  security  declines  between  those
dates.

There is no guarantee that Market Neutral Fund will be able to close out a short
position at any particular time or at an acceptable price.  During the time that
the Fund is short the security, it is subject to the risk that the lender of the
security will terminate the loan at a time when the Fund is unable to borrow the
same security from another lender.  If that occurs,  the Fund may be "bought in"
at the price  required to purchase  the  security  needed to close out the short
position.

In short sale  transactions,  Market Neutral Fund's gain is limited to the price
at which it sold the  security  short;  its loss is limited  only by the maximum
price it must pay to acquire the  security  less the price at which the security
was sold. In theory, losses from short sales may be unlimited.  Further, because
the Fund will  attempt to remain  market  neutral,  if the Fund must close out a
short position at a time or price not of its choosing,  it may also have to sell
a  corresponding  security it owns at an  unfavorable  time or price in order to
maintain market  neutrality.  Until a security that is sold short is acquired by
the Fund, the Fund must pay the lender any dividends that accrue during the loan
period.  In order to borrow the  security,  the Fund  usually is required to pay
compensation  to the lender.  Short sales also cause the Fund to incur brokerage
fees and other transaction costs. Therefore, the amount of any gain the Fund may
receive from a short sale  transaction is decreased - and the amount of any loss
increased -- by the amount of compensation to the lender,  dividend and expenses
Market Neutral Fund may be required to pay.

Until Market Neutral Fund replaces a borrowed security, it must segregate liquid
securities  or other  collateral  with a broker or other  custodian in an amount
equal to the current  market value of the security sold short.  The Fund expects
to receive  interest on the  collateral it deposits.  The use of short sales may
result in Market Neutral Fund realizing  more  short-term  capital gains than it
would if the Fund did not engage in short sales.

SOVEREIGN DEBT -- In certain emerging countries,  the central government and its
agencies  are the  largest  debtors  to local  and  foreign  banks  and  others.
Sovereign debt involves the risk that the  government,  as a result of political
considerations or cash flow difficulties, may fail to make scheduled payments of
interest or principal and may require  holders to participate in rescheduling of
payments or even to make  additional  loans. If an emerging  country  government
defaults on its sovereign debt,  there is likely to be no legal proceeding under
which  the debt may be  ordered  repaid,  in whole or in part.  The  ability  or
willingness  of a foreign  sovereign  debtor to make  payments of principal  and
interest in a timely manner may be influenced by, among other factors,  its cash
flow,  the  magnitude  of its  foreign  reserves,  the  availability  of foreign
exchange on the payment date, the debt service burden to the economy as a whole,
the debtor's then current relationship with the International  Monetary Fund and
its then current political  constraints.  Some of the emerging countries issuing
such  instruments  have  experienced high rates of inflation in recent years and
have extensive  internal debt. Among other effects,  high inflation and internal
debt service  requirements  may adversely  affect the cost and  availability  of
future domestic sovereign borrowing to finance government programs, and may have
other adverse social, political and economic consequences,  including effects on
the  willingness of such countries to service their  sovereign debt. An emerging
country  government's  willingness  and ability to make  timely  payments on its
sovereign debt also are likely to be heavily  affected by the country's  balance
of trade and its access to trade and other international credits. If a country's
exports  are  concentrated  in a few  commodities,  such  country  would be more
<PAGE>
significantly exposed to a decline in the international prices of one or more of
such  commodities.  A rise in protectionism on the part of its trading partners,
or  unwillingness  by such partners to make payment for goods in hard  currency,
could also  adversely  affect the  country's  ability to export its products and
repay its debts.  Sovereign  debtors may also be dependent on expected  receipts
from such agencies and others abroad to reduce principal and interest arrearages
on their  debt.  However,  failure by the  sovereign  debtor or other  entity to
implement economic reforms  negotiated with multilateral  agencies or others, to
achieve specified levels of economic performance, or to make other debt payments
when due, may cause third  parties to  terminate  their  commitments  to provide
funds  to  the  sovereign  debtor,   which  may  further  impair  such  debtor's
willingness or ability to service its debts.

The Funds may  invest  in debt  securities  issued  under  the  "Brady  Plan" in
connection  with  restructurings  in emerging  country  debt  markets or earlier
loans. These securities, often referred to as "Brady Bonds," are, in some cases,
denominated in U.S. dollars and  collateralized as to principal by U.S. Treasury
zero  coupon  bonds  having  the same  maturity.  At least one  year's  interest
payments,  on a rolling basis, are  collateralized by cash or other investments.
Brady Bonds are actively  traded on an  over-the-counter  basis in the secondary
market for emerging country debt securities.  Brady Bonds are lower-rated  bonds
and highly volatile.

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,  notes,  and 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 U.S.
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
U.S. 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,
a 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 INVESCO and the applicable  sub-advisers are satisfied that the credit risk
with respect to any such instrumentality is comparatively minimal.
<PAGE>
WHEN-ISSUED/DELAYED DELIVERY -- The Funds normally 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.

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.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

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 without prior
approval  of a majority  of the  outstanding  voting  securities  of a Fund,  as
defined in the 1940 Act.
Each Fund may not:

    1. purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities  issued
    or   guaranteed   by  the  U.S.   government  or  any  of  its  agencies  or
    instrumentalities or municipal securities) if, as a result, more than 25% of
    the Fund's  total assets  would be invested in the  securities  of companies
    whose principal business  activities are in the same industry,  except that:
    (i)  Financial  Services  Fund may invest  more than 25% of the value of its
    total assets in one or more industries relating to financial services;  (ii)
    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
    investments in the combined long and short portfolios of Market Neutral Fund
    may exceed 25% of the value of its total  assets in one or more  industries;
    (iv) Real Estate  Opportunity  Fund may invest more than 25% of the value of
    its  total  assets in one or more  industries  relating  to the real  estate
    industry;  (v) Technology  Fund may invest more than 25% of the value of its
    total  assets in the one or more  industries  relating to  technology;  (vi)
    Telecommunications  Fund may invest  more than 25% of the value of its total
    assets in one or more industries relating to  telecommunications;  and (vii)
    Utilities  Fund may invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in
    one or more industries relating to the utilities industry;

    2. with  respect  to 75% of the  Fund's  total  assets,  purchase  the
    securities of any issuer (other than securities  issued or guaranteed by the
    U.S. government or any of its agencies or  instrumentalities,  or securities
<PAGE>
    of other investment companies) if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of a Fund's
    total assets would be invested in the  securities of that issuer,  or (ii) a
    Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding  voting  securities of that
    issuer;

    3. underwrite  securities of other issuers, except insofar as it may be
    deemed  to be an  underwriter  under  the  1933 Act in  connection  with the
    disposition of the Fund's portfolio securities;

    4. borrow money, except that the Fund may borrow money in an amount not
    exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets  (including the amount  borrowed) less
    liabilities  (other than  borrowings);  with respect to Market Neutral Fund,
    short sales and related  borrowings of securities and cash to satisfy margin
    requirements are not subject to this restriction;

    5. issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act;

    6. lend any  security  or make any loan if, as a result,  more than 33
    1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation
    does  not  apply  to  the  purchase  of  debt  securities  or to  repurchase
    agreements;

    7. purchase or sell physical  commodities;  however,  this policy shall
    not prevent the Fund from purchasing and selling foreign  currency,  futures
    contracts,  options,  forward contracts,  swaps,  caps, floors,  collars and
    other financial instruments; or

    8. purchase  or sell  real  estate  unless  acquired  as a  result  of
    ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the
    Fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate
    or  securities  of  companies  engaged in the real  estate  business).  This
    restriction  shall  not  prohibit  the Real  Estate  Opportunity  Fund  from
    directly  holding real estate if such real estate is acquired by the Fund as
    a result of a default on debt securities held by the Fund.

    9. Each Fund may,  notwithstanding  any other  fundamental  investment
    policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
    open-end management investment company managed by INVESCO or an affiliate or
    a successor  thereof,  with  substantially  the same fundamental  investment
    objective, policies and limitations as the Fund.

In addition, each Fund has the following  non-fundamental policies, which may be
changed without shareholder approval:

    A. The Fund (with the  exception of Market  Neutral  Fund) may not sell
    securities  short  (unless  it owns or has the  right to  obtain  securities
    equivalent  in kind and amount to the  securities  sold  short) or  purchase
    securities on margin,  except that (i) this policy does not prevent the Fund
    from entering into short positions in foreign currency,  futures  contracts,
    options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars and other financial
    instruments,  (ii)  the Fund  may  obtain  such  short-term  credits  as are
    necessary  for the  clearance of  transactions,  and (iii) the Fund may make
    margin  payments in  connection  with futures  contracts,  options,  forward
    contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars and other financial instruments.

    B. The  Fund may  borrow  money  only from a bank or from an  open-end
    management  investment  company  managed  by INVESCO  or an  affiliate  or a
    successor thereof for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or
    investing) or by engaging in reverse  repurchase  agreements  with any party
<PAGE>
    (reverse repurchase agreements will be treated as borrowings for purposes of
    fundamental  limitation  (4)).  This  limitation  shall not  prevent  Market
    Neutral  Fund from  borrowing  money from  brokers from time to time to meet
    margin  requirements  on the securities it sells short.  Any such borrowings
    will be short-term in nature.

    C. The Fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
    result, more than 15% of its net assets would be invested in securities that
    are deemed to be illiquid  because they are subject to legal or  contractual
    restrictions  on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the
    ordinary  course of business at  approximately  the prices at which they are
    valued.

    D. The  Fund may  invest  in  securities  issued  by other  investment
    companies to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund's
    investment objective and policies and permissible under the 1940 Act.

    E. With  respect to fundamental  limitation  (1),  domestic and foreign
    banking will be considered to be different industries.

In addition,  with  respect to a Fund that may invest in municipal  obligations,
the  following  non-fundamental  policy  applies,  which may be changed  without
shareholder approval:

    Each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory
    and possession of the United States,  each  political  subdivision,  agency,
    instrumentality and authority thereof,  and each multi-state agency of which
    a state is a member is a separate  "issuer." When the assets and revenues of
    an agency,  authority,  instrumentality  or other political  subdivision are
    separate from the government  creating the  subdivision  and the security is
    backed only by assets and  revenues  of the  subdivision,  such  subdivision
    would  be  deemed  to be the  sole  issuer.  Similarly,  in the  case  of an
    Industrial Development Bond or Private Activity bond, if that bond is backed
    only by the assets and  revenues  of the  non-governmental  user,  then that
    non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer. However, if the
    creating  government or another  entity  guarantees a security,  then to the
    extent  that the  value  of all  securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by that
    government  or entity and owned by a Fund  exceeds  10% of the Fund's  total
    assets,  the guarantee would be considered a separate  security and would be
    treated as issued by that government or entity.

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%.
<PAGE>
    (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.

THE SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

With respect to Market  Neutral Fund,  INVESCO (NY) Division  ("INY")  serves as
sub-adviser  to the Fund pursuant to a sub-advisory  agreement  dated August 30,
1999 (the "Market Neutral Sub-Agreement") with INVESCO.

With respect to Total Return Fund, INVESCO Capital  Management  Division ("ICM")
serves as  sub-adviser to the Fund pursuant to a  sub-advisory  agreement  dated
February 28, 1997 (the "Total Return Sub-Agreement") with INVESCO.

The  Market  Neutral   Sub-Agreement   and  Total  Return   Sub-Agreement   (the
"Sub-Agreements")  provide  that  INY and ICM,  as  applicable,  subject  to the
supervision of INVESCO, shall manage the investment portfolios of the respective
Funds in  conformity  with each Fund's  investment  policies.  These  management
services  include:  (a)  managing the  investment  and  reinvestment  of all the
<PAGE>
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 Funds, 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 INY 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.

The Sub-Agreements provide that, as compensation for their services, INY 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.  The sub-advisory fees

administrative, sub-accounting, and recordkeeping services to the Funds pursuant
to an  Administrative  Services  Agreement  dated  February  28,  1997  with the
Company.

The Administrative  Services Agreement requires INVESCO to provide the following
services to the Funds:

   o such sub-accounting and recordkeeping services and functions as are
     reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds; and
<PAGE>
   o such  sub-accounting,   recordkeeping,   and  administrative  services  and
     functions,  which  may  be  provided  by  affiliates  of  INVESCO,  as  are
     reasonably  necessary  for  the  operation  of  Fund  shareholder  accounts
     maintained by certain  retirement  plans and employee benefit plans for the
     benefit of participants in such plans.

As full  compensation for services  provided under the  Administrative  Services
Agreement,  each Fund pays a monthly fee to INVESCO consisting of a base fee per
Fund of $10,000 per year, plus an additional  incremental fee computed daily and
paid  monthly at an annual rate of 0.015% of the average net assets of each Fund
and an additional  0.25% per year of new assets of each Fund acquired after July
8, 1998.

TRANSFER AGENCY AGREEMENT

INVESCO also performs transfer agent,  dividend  disbursing agent, and registrar
services for the Funds pursuant to a Transfer  Agency  Agreement  dated February

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.
<PAGE>

The Company has a brokerage  committee.  The  committee  meets  periodically  to
review soft dollar and other brokerage  transactions by the Funds, and to review
policies and  procedures of INVESCO 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 INVESCO 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 or
the Funds for their services as officers. INVESCO 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  estimated  benefits  accrued  with  respect to the Defined
Benefit  Deferred  Compensation  Plan  discussed  below,  and  not  compensation
deferred at the election of the directors.

(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 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 and Messrs.
Bunch and Lewis, each of these directors has served as a director 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 was  included  in the
calculation of retirement benefits as of November 1, 1999.

(4) Messrs. Bunch and Lewis became directors of the Company on January 1, 2000.

(5) Mr. Chabris retired as a director of the Company on September 30, 1998.
Mr. King retired as a director of the Company on December 31, 1999.

(6) Totals as a percentage of the Company's net assets as of December 31, 1999.
<PAGE>
(7) Total as a  percentage  of the net assets of the INVESCO  Complex as of
December 31, 1999.

Messrs. Brady, Healey 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 of the mutual funds in the INVESCO  Funds have adopted a
Defined  Benefit  Deferred  Compensation  Plan (the "Plan") for the  Independent
Directors of the funds.  Under this Plan, each director 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,
if the Qualified Director retires upon reaching age 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,  commencing  with the first year of retirement of any
Qualified  Director  whose  retirement  has been extended by the board for three
years,  and  commencing  with  attainment of age 72 by a Qualified  Director who
voluntarily retires prior to reaching age 72, 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 him/her or 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 and to Mr.  King as of January 1, 2000.  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.  A
similar plan has been adopted by INVESCO Global Health  Sciences Fund's board of
trustees. All trustees of INVESCO Global Health Sciences Fund are also directors
of the INVESCO Funds.

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
INVESCO  Funds except Funds  offered by the Company in which the  directors  are
legally precluded from investing.  Each Independent Director may, therefore,  be
deemed to have an indirect  interest  in shares of each such  INVESCO  Fund,  in
addition to any  INVESCO  Fund shares the  Independent  Director  may own either
directly or beneficially.

CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

As of  January  31,  2000,  the  following  persons  owned  more  than 5% of the
outstanding  shares of the Funds indicated below.  This level of share ownership
is considered to be a "principal shareholder" relationship with a Fund under the
1940 Act.  Shares  that are owned "of record" are held in the name of the person
indicated.  Shares that are owned  "beneficially"  are held in another name, but
the owner has the full economic benefit of ownership of those shares:

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.

Portfolio   transactions  also  may  be  effected  through  broker-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  broker-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-dealer  in  selecting  among
qualified broker-dealers.

Market  Neutral  Fund  depends  upon a prime  broker for a variety  of  services
related to its short sales. If the prime broker becomes insolvent, there will be
delays in enforcing the Fund's rights,  which may subject the Fund to additional
losses. Certain of these losses may be covered by insurance. Market Neutral Fund
utilizes so-called "blind principal"  trading.  In this process,  broker-dealers
are asked to bid on making trades for the Fund when it rebalances its portfolio.
The broker-dealer bids for the right to execute all required portfolio trades at
closing market price for a specific commission. The broker-dealer guarantees the
closing market price on the trade date and thus has its own capital at risk.

Certain of the INVESCO Funds utilize fund  brokerage  commissions to pay custody
fees for each  respective  fund.  This program  requires that the  participating
funds receive favorable execution.

All  shares of a Fund will be voted  together  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 1940 Act.

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.

TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OWNING SHARES OF A 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 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  and excise  taxes on the
amount  that is not  distributed.  If a Fund  does not  qualify  as a  regulated
investment  company,  it will be  subject  to income  tax on its net  investment
income and net capital gains at the corporate tax rates.

<PAGE>
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.  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  as to  federal,  state and  local  taxes  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  telephone  number or
address on the back cover of the Funds' Prospectuses.

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.

periods ended December 31, 1999, was:

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.

In conjunction with performance reports,  comparative data between a Fund's
performance for a given period and other types of investment vehicles, including
certificates  of  deposit,   may  be  provided  to  prospective   investors  and
shareholders.

In conjunction with performance reports and/or analyses of shareholder  services
for a Fund,  comparative data between that Fund's performance for a given period
and  recognized  indices  of  investment  results  for the same  period,  and/or

American  Stock  Exchange,   Morgan  Stanley  Capital  International,   Wilshire

APPENDIX A

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.
