The section titled "Purchasing Shares" is revised to read as follows:

PURCHASING SHARES

To purchase shares through entities other than American Express Financial
Advisors Inc. (the Distributor), please consult your selling agent. The
following section explains how you can purchase shares from the Distributor.

If you do not have an existing American Express mutual fund account, you will
need to establish a brokerage account. Your financial advisor will help you fill
out and submit an application. Once your account is set up, you can choose among
several convenient ways to invest.

When you purchase, your order will be priced at the next NAV calculated after
your order is accepted by the Fund. If your application does not specify which
class of shares you are purchasing, we will assume you are investing in Class A
shares.

Important: When you open an account, you must provide your correct Taxpayer
Identification Number (TIN), which is either your Social Security or Employer
Identification number.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2   --   PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT


If you do not provide and certify the correct TIN, you could be subject to
backup withholding of 28% of taxable distributions and proceeds from certain
sales and exchanges. You also could be subject to further penalties, such as:

o    a $50 penalty for each failure to supply your correct TIN,

o    a civil  penalty of $500 if you make a false  statement  that results in no
     backup withholding, and

o    criminal penalties for falsifying information.

You also could be subject to backup withholding, if the IRS notifies us to do
so, because you failed to report required interest or dividends on your tax
return.

How to determine the correct TIN

For this type of account:                    Use the Social Security or Employer
                                             Identification number of:

                                             no legal entity is designated in
                                             the account title)

To place your order, call:

(800) 872-4377 for brokerage accounts
(800) 967-4377 for wrap accounts

TRANSACTIONS THROUGH THIRD PARTIES

You may buy or sell shares through certain 401(k) plans, banks, broker-dealers,
financial advisors or other investment professionals. These organizations may
charge you a fee for this service and may have different policies. Some policy
differences may include different minimum investment amounts, exchange
privileges, fund choices and cutoff times for investments. The Fund and the
Distributor are not responsible for the failure of one of these organizations to
carry out its obligations to its customers. Some organizations may receive
compensation from the Distributor or its affiliates for shareholder
recordkeeping and similar services. Where authorized by the Fund, some
organizations may designate selected agents to accept purchase or sale orders on
the Fund's behalf. To buy or sell shares through third parties or to determine
if there are policy differences, please consult your selling agent. For other
pertinent information related to buying or selling shares, please refer to the
appropriate section in the prospectus.

The section titled "Exchanging/Selling Shares" is revised to read as follows:

EXCHANGING/SELLING SHARES

Exchanges

You may exchange your Fund shares at no charge for shares of the same class of
any other publicly offered American Express mutual fund. Exchanges into AXP
Tax-Free Money Fund may only be made from Class A shares. For complete
information on the other fund, including fees and expenses, read that fund's
prospectus carefully. Your exchange will be priced at the next NAV calculated
after we receive your transaction request in good order.

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, the
Distributor and the Fund reserve the right to reject any purchase orders,
including exchanges, 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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5   --   PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT


trading,  in our judgment has been  disruptive to the Fund. For example,  we may
exercise these rights if exchanges are too numerous or too large.

Other exchange policies:

o    Exchanges must be made into the same class of shares of the new fund.

o    If your  exchange  creates  a new  account,  it must  satisfy  the  minimum
     investment amount for new purchases.

o    Once we receive your exchange request, you cannot cancel it.

o    Shares  of the  new  fund  may  not be used  on the  same  day for  another
     exchange.

o    If your  shares are pledged as  collateral,  the  exchange  will be delayed
     until written approval is received from the secured party.

Selling Shares

You may sell your shares at any time. The payment will be mailed within seven
days after your request is received in good order.

When you sell shares, the amount you receive may be more or less than the amount
you invested. Your sale price will be the next NAV calculated after your request
is received in good order by the Fund, minus any applicable CDSC.

You can change your mind after requesting a sale and use all or part of the
proceeds to purchase new shares in the same account from which you sold. If you
reinvest in Class A, you will purchase the new shares at NAV rather than the
offering price on the date of a new purchase. If you reinvest in Class B or
Class C, any CDSC you paid on the amount you are reinvesting also will be
reinvested. To take advantage of this option, send a written request within 90
days of the date your sale request was received and include your account number.
This privilege may be limited or withdrawn at any time and use of this option
may have tax consequences.

The Fund reserves the right to redeem in kind.

For more details and a description of other sales policies, please see the SAI.

To sell or exchange shares held with entities other than the Distributor, please
consult your selling agent. The following section explains how you can exchange
or sell shares held with the Distributor.

If you decide to sell your shares within 30 days of a telephoned-in address
change, a written request is required.

Important: If you request a sale of shares you recently purchased by a check or
money order that is not guaranteed, the Fund will wait for your check to clear.
It may take up to 10 days from the date of purchase before payment is made.
Payment may be made earlier if your bank provides evidence satisfactory to the
Fund and the Distributor that your check has cleared.
