                  Supplement to Prospectuses of Above Funds
                 Dates of Which Are Indicated in Parenthesis


      The Section of the above Funds'  Prospectuses  entitled "How to Buy Shares
Distribution  Expenses" or "How Shares Can Be Purchased - Distribution Expenses"
is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

            Distribution Expenses.  The/Each Fund is authorized under a Plan and
      Agreement  of  Distribution  pursuant to Rule 12b-1  under the  Investment
      Company  Act of 1940 (the  "Plan") to use its  assets to  finance  certain
      activities relating to the distribution of its shares to investors.  Under
      the  Plan,  monthly  payments  may be made by the Fund to  IFG/INVESCO  to
      permit it, at IFG's/INVESCO's discretion, to engage in certain activities,
      and  provide  certain  services  approved  by the  board of  directors  in
      connection with the distribution of the Fund's shares to investors.


<PAGE>



      These  activities  and  services  may include the payment of  compensation
      (including incentive compensation and/or continuing  compensation based on
      the  amount of  customer  assets  maintained  in the  Fund) to  securities
      dealers and other  financial  institutions  and  organizations,  which may
      include   IFG/INVESCO    affiliated    companies,    to   obtain   various
      distribution-related  and/or  administrative  services for the Fund.  Such
      services may  include,  among other  things,  processing  new  shareholder
      account  applications,  preparing and  transmitting to the Fund's Transfer
      Agent computer  processable  tapes of all  transactions by customers,  and
      serving as the primary  source of  information  to  customers in answering
      questions concerning the Fund and their transactions with the Fund.

            In addition,  other  permissible  activities  and  services  include
      advertising,   the  preparation  and  distribution  of  sales  literature,
      printing and distributing  prospectuses to prospective investors, and such
      other services and promotional activities for the Fund(s) as may from time
      to time be agreed  upon by the  Company/Fund  and its board of  directors,
      including public relations  efforts and marketing  programs to communicate
      with investors and  prospective  investors.  These services and activities
      may be conducted by the staff of IFG/INVESCO or its affiliates or by third
      parties.

            Under the Plan,  the  Company's/Fund's  payments to  IFG/INVESCO  on
      behalf of  the/each  Fund are  limited to an amount  computed at an annual
      rate of 0.25% of  the/each  Fund's  average  net assets  during the month.
      IFG/INVESCO  is not  entitled to payment for overhead  expenses  under the
      Plan,  but may be paid for all or a portion of the  compensation  paid for
      salaries  and other  employee  benefits for the  personnel of  IFG/INVESCO
      whose primary responsibilities involve marketing shares of the IFG/INVESCO
      funds,  including the Fund(s).  Payment amounts by the/each Fund under the
      Plan, for any month, may be made to compensate IFG/INVESCO for permissible
      activities  engaged in and  services  provided by  IFG/INVESCO  during the
      rolling 12-month period in which that month falls, although this period is
      expanded to 24 months for obligations  incurred during the first 24 months
      of the/each Fund's  operations.  Therefore,  any  obligations  incurred by
      IFG/INVESCO in excess of the limitations  described above will not be paid
      by the  Fund(s)  under  the  Plan,  and will be borne by  IFG/INVESCO.  In
      addition,  IFG/INVESCO may from time to time make additional payments from
      its revenues to securities  dealers and other financial  institutions that
      provide   distribution-related  and/or  administrative  services  for  the
      Fund(s). No further payments will be made by the Fund(s) under the Plan in
      the event of its  termination.  Also, any payments made by the Fund(s) may
      not be used to finance  directly the  distribution  of shares of any other
      fund of the  Company/Fund  or other  mutual fund  advised by  IFG/INVESCO.
      Payments  made by  the/each  Fund  under  the  Plan  for  compensation  of
      marketing  personnel,  as noted above, are based on an allocation  formula
      designed to ensure that all such payments are appropriate.

The date of this Supplement is February 21, 1997.
