The target levels will be based upon the following factors, among others: (1) the execution services provided by the broker; and (2) the research services provided by the broker. Fund 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. AIM will not enter into a binding commitment with brokers to place trades with such brokers involving brokerage commissions in precise amounts." The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing in the second paragraph under the heading "PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES - PAYMENTS TO DEALERS": "In addition to, or instead of, amounts paid to dealers as a sales commission, AIM Distributors may, from time to time, at its expense out of its own financial resources or as an expense for which it may be compensated or reimbursed by an AIM Fund under a distribution plan, if applicable, make cash payments to dealer firms as an incentive to sell shares of the funds and/or to promote retention of their customers' assets in the funds. Such cash payments may be calculated on sales of shares of AIM Funds ("Sales-Based Payments"), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of the shares sold. Such cash payments also may be calculated on the average daily net assets of the applicable AIM Fund(s) attributable to that particular dealer ("Asset-Based Payments"), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. AIM Distributors may agree to make such cash payments to a dealer firm in the form of either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments. AIM Distributors may also make other cash payments to dealer firms in addition to or in lieu of Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments, in the form of payment for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred in connection with trips taken by qualifying registered representatives of those dealer firms and their families to places within or outside the United States; meeting fees; entertainment; transaction processing and transmission charges; advertising or other promotional expenses; or other expenses as determined in AIM Distributor's discretion. In certain cases these other payments could be significant to the dealer firms. Any payments described above will not change the price paid by investors for the purchase of the applicable AIM Fund's shares or the amount that any particular AIM Fund will receive as proceeds from such sales. AIM Distributors determines the cash payments described above in its discretion in response to requests from dealer firms, based on factors it deems relevant. Dealers may not use sales of the AIM Funds' shares to qualify for any incentives to the extent that such incentives may be prohibited by the laws of any state." 1 INSTITUTIONAL CLASSES OF AIM BALANCED FUND AIM PREMIER EQUITY FUND (SERIES PORTFOLIOS OF AIM FUNDS GROUP) Supplement dated March 19, 2004 to the Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2003 as supplemented June 12, 2003, October 21, 2003, December 16, 2003, January 16, 2004 and March 3, 2004 The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing in the fifth paragraph under the heading "BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES - BROKERAGE SELECTION": "AIM may determine target levels of brokerage business with various brokers on behalf of its clients (including the Funds) over a certain time period.
