The section "EXCHANGING/SELLING SHARES" will be revised as follows: Four ways to receive payment when you sell shares 1 By regular or express mail: o Mailed to the address on record. o Payable to names listed on the account. o The express mail delivery charges you pay will vary depending on the courier you select. 2 By electronic funds transfer (EFT or ACH): o Minimum redemption: $100. o Funds are deposited electronically into your bank account. o No charge. o Bank account must be in the same ownership as the American Express mutual fund account. o Allow two to five business days from request to deposit. o Pre-authorization required. For instructions, contact your financial advisor or AECSC. 3 By wire: o Minimum redemption: $1,000. o Funds are wired electronically into your bank account. o Applicable wire charges will vary depending on service provided. o Bank account must be in the same ownership as the American Express mutual fund account. o Allow one to two business days from request to deposit for domestic wires. o Pre-authorization required. For instructions, contact your financial advisor or AECSC. 4 By scheduled payout plan: o Minimum payment: $50. o Contact your financial advisor or AECSC to set up regular payments on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. o Purchasing new shares while under a payout plan may be disadvantageous because of the sales charges. For all funds except AXP Diversified Equity Income Fund, AXP Managed Allocation Fund, AXP Mutual, AXP Progressive Fund and AXP Stock Fund, add the following after the first paragraph: The Fund does not permit market-timing. Do not invest in the Fund if you are a market timer. Excessive trading (market-timing) or other abusive short-term trading practices may disrupt portfolio management strategies, harm performance and increase fund expenses. To prevent abuse or adverse effects on the Fund and its shareholders, AECSC and the Fund reserve the right to reject any exchange, limit the amount, modify or discontinue the exchange privilege or charge a fee to any investor we believe has a history of abusive trading or whose trading, in our judgement has been disruptive to the Fund. For example, we may exercise these rights if exchanges are too numerous or too large. S-6495-22 (1/02) *Valid until next prospectus date Destroy November 29, 2002
