Lower-quality securities, those rated BB or lower, may react more to the ability of a company to pay interest and principal when due than to changes in interest rates. Lower-quality securities have greater price fluctuations, are more likely to experience a default, and sometimes are referred to as "junk bonds." Reduced market liquidity for these bonds may occasionally make it more difficult to value them. In valuing bonds the fund relies both on independent rating agencies and the investment manager's credit analysis. Securities that are subsequently downgraded in quality may continue to be held and will be sold only when the fund's investment manager believes it is advantageous to do so." ___________________________________________________________________ The "Foreign investments" subsection of the "Investment policies and risks" section of the prospectus for IDS Managed Retirement Fund is supplemented as follows: "Foreign investments are subject to currency fluctuations, and political and economic risks of the countries in which the investments are made, including the possibility of seizure or nationalization of companies, imposition of withholding taxes on income, establishment of exchange controls or adoption of other restrictions that might affect an investment adversely. The limited liquidity and price fluctuations in emerging markets could make investments in developing countries more volatile." ___________________________________________________________________ The "Investment policies and risks" section of the prospectus for IDS Selective Fund is supplemented as follows: "A zero-coupon security is a security that is sold at a deep discount from its face value and makes no periodic interest payments. The buyer of such a security receives a rate of return by gradual appreciation of the security, which is redeemed at face value on the maturity date." ___________________________________________________________________ The "Investment policies and risks" section of the prospectus for IDS Tax-Exempt Bond Fund is supplemented as follows: The types of municipal obligations in which the fund may invest include general obligation bonds, as well as revenue bonds, such as electric, housing, airport and toll, pollution control, water and sewer, and hospital bonds." ___________________________________________________________________ The "Investment policies and risks" section of the prospectus for IDS Tax-Exempt Bond Fund is supplemented as follows: "Securities rated BBB may have speculative characteristics." ___________________________________________________________________ The "Investment policies and risks" section of the prospectus for IDS Utilities Income Fund is supplemented as follows: "Utility stocks are sensitive to interest rate changes. As interest rates rise, the price of utility stocks generally PAGE 3 decreases, and as interest rates fall, the price of utility stocks generally increases."
