Supplement Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	aimef105377_SupplementStrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The following information replaces the last three paragraphs appearing under the heading “Fund Summary — Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund” in the prospectus: “The Adviser uses a bottom-up stock selection process designed to seek returns in excess of the benchmark as well as a disciplined portfolio construction process designed to manage risk. To narrow the investment universe, the Adviser uses a holistic approach that emphasizes fundamental research and, to a lesser extent, includes quantitative analysis. The Adviser then closely examines company fundamentals, including detailed modeling of all of a company’s financial statements and discussions with company management teams, suppliers, distributors, competitors, and customers. The Adviser uses a variety of valuation techniques based on the company in question, the industry in which the company operates, the stage of the business cycle, and other factors that best reflect a company’s value. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies with solid management teams, sound business models, strong financial health, attractive growth outlooks, and compelling valuations levels. The Adviser considers whether to sell a particular security when a company hits the price target, a company’s fundamentals deteriorate, or the catalysts for growth are no longer present or reflected in the stock price.”
