RIVERSOURCE [LOGO](SM) INVESTMENTS PROSPECTUS AND STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SUPPLEMENT -- NOV. 29, 2006 RiverSource Short Duration U.S. Government Fund -- Prospectus (7/28/06) S-6042-99 AC RiverSource Short Duration U.S. Government Fund -- Statement of Additional Information (11/29/06) S-6500 P
In late 2006 or early 2007 the following changes will be implemented for Class Y: renaming Class Y as Class R4, terminating the shareholder servicing agreement, revising the fee structure under the transfer agent agreement from account-based to asset-based, and adopting a plan administration services agreement. This Supplement also describes Class W. The information below supplements the relevant sections of the prospectus and statement of additional information. The caption headings used in this Supplement correspond to the caption headings used in the prospectus and statement of additional information. Upon the effective date of implementing the changes for Class Y all references to Class Y throughout the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information are omitted. You may purchase these shares only if you are an eligible investor, as described under the caption "Buying and Selling Shares" below. PROSPECTUS PAST PERFORMANCE Class W is new as of the date of this supplement, and therefore performance information is not shown. Please note that you will find performance returns for other classes of shares of the Fund, together with returns of one or more broad measures of market performance, in the performance table of the prospectus. The performance table is intended to indicate some of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance over time. Past performance for Class W for the period prior to the beginning of operations for that class may be calculated based on the performance of Class A. The blended class performance will be adjusted to reflect differences in sales charges, but not differences in annual Fund operating expenses (for example, 12b-1 fees). The use of blended performance generally results in higher performance for classes with higher operating expenses than those of the class with which they are blended, and lower performance for classes with lower operating expenses than those of the class with which they are blended. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S-6042-9 A (11/06) FEES AND EXPENSES Fund investors pay various expenses. The table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. Expenses in the table have been adjusted to reflect current fees. The table is supplemented as follows:
SHAREHOLDER FEES (FEES PAID DIRECTLY FROM YOUR INVESTMENT) CLASS R4(A) CLASS W Maximum sales charge (load) imposed on purchases (as a percentage of offering price) None None - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maximum deferred sales charge (load) imposed on sales (as a percentage of offering price at time of purchase) None None - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS) AS A PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS: R4(A) W Management fees 0.47% 0.47% Distribution (12b-1) fees 0.00% 0.25% Other expenses(b) 0.43% 0.33% Total 0.90% 1.05% Fee waiver/expense reimbursement 0.18% 0.10% Net expenses(c) 0.72% 0.95% (a) In September 2006, with respect to Class Y, the Board approved renaming Class Y as Class R4, terminating the shareholder servicing agreement, revising the fee structure under the transfer agent agreement from account-based to asset-based, and adopting a plan administration services agreement. (b) For Class W, other expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. For Class R4, expenses have been restated to reflect the revised fee structure approved by the Board. Other expenses include an administrative services fee, a transfer agency fee, a custody fee, other nonadvisory expenses and, for Class R4, a plan administration services fee. (c) The investment manager and its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive certain fees and to absorb certain expenses until May 31, 2007, unless sooner terminated at the discretion of the Fund's Board. Any amounts waived will not be reimbursed by the Fund. Under this agreement, net expenses will not exceed 0.72% for Class R4 and 0.95% for Class W.
EXAMPLE This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The table is supplemented as follows:
1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS Class R4 $74 $269 $482 $1,096 Class W $97 $324 $571 $1,278
BUYING AND SELLING SHARES The description of Investment Options is supplemented as follows: If you are an eligible investor, you may purchase Class R4 or Class W shares at net asset value. These share classes do not have an initial sales charge or CDSC on redemption and do not convert to any other class of shares. Class W shares pay an annual distribution and shareholder servicing (12b-1) fee. Because this fee is paid out of the Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time the fee will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of distribution (sales) or servicing charges. Investments in Class R4 and Class W are not eligible to be included in determining the sales charge for purchases of Class A shares. ELIGIBLE INVESTORS Class R shares are available to the following investors: o Qualified employee benefit plans. o Trust companies or similar institutions, and charitable organizations that meet the definition in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. o Non-qualified deferred compensation plans whose participants are included in a qualified employee benefit plan described above. o State sponsored college savings plans established under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. Class R shares generally are not available to retail non-retirement accounts, traditional and Roth IRAs, Coverdell Educational Savings Accounts, SEPs, SAR-SEPs, SIMPLE IRAs and individual 403(b) plans. Class W shares are available to the following investors: o Investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Shares originally purchased in a discretionary managed account may continue to be held in Class W outside of a discretionary managed account, but no additional Class W purchases may be made outside of a discretionary managed account. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 2 -- In addition, the distributor, in its sole discretion, may accept investments from other purchasers not listed above. The distribution and shareholder servicing fees for Class W are subject to the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and are used to reimburse the distributor for certain expenses it incurs in connection with distributing the Fund's shares and providing services to Fund shareholders. These expenses include payment of distribution and shareholder servicing fees to financial institutions that sell shares of the Fund, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class W shares sold and held through them. The distributor begins to pay the fees to financial institutions immediately after purchase. Financial institutions may compensate their financial advisors with the distribution and shareholder servicing fees paid to them by the distributor. Class R4 pays an annual plan administration services fee of 0.25% from assets attributable to the class for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication or educational services. The discussion of Opening an Account is supplemented as follows: You may purchase, sell or exchange Class R4 and Class W shares only through the distributor or an authorized financial institution. Generally you may exchange your Class R4 and Class W shares only for shares of the same class of another RiverSource fund.
MINIMUM INVESTMENT AND ACCOUNT BALANCE CLASS W INITIAL INVESTMENT $500 - ------------------------------------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT None - ------------------------------------------------------------ ACCOUNT BALANCE $500 - ------------------------------------------------------------
The following information is added to the "Additional Services and Compensation" section: Plan Administration Services. Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement the Fund pays for plan administration services, including recordkeeping, communication or educational services to 529 and retirement plan sponsors, plans and plan participants. Fees paid by a fund for these services are included under "Other expenses" in the expense table under "Fees and Expenses." References to the Class Y shareholder servicing plan are omitted. The following information replaces the "Affiliated Funds of Funds" paragraph in the "Additional Management Information" section: AFFILIATED PRODUCTS. RiverSource Investments also serves as investment manager to RiverSource funds that provide asset-allocation services to shareholders by investing in shares of other RiverSource funds (Funds of Funds) and to discretionary managed accounts (collectively referred to as "affiliated products"). A fund may experience relatively large purchases or redemptions from the affiliated products. Although RiverSource Investments seeks to minimize the impact of these transactions by structuring them over a reasonable period of time or through other measures, a fund may experience increased expenses as it buys and sells securities to manage transactions for the affiliated products. In addition, because the affiliated products may own a substantial portion of a fund, a redemption by one or more affiliated products could cause a fund's expense ratio to increase as the fund's fixed costs would be spread over a smaller asset base. RiverSource Investments monitors expense levels and is committed to offering funds that are competitively priced. RiverSource Investments will report to the Board on the steps it has taken to manage any potential conflicts. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 3 -- STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INVESTING IN A FUND The description of the sales charge is supplemented as follows: For Class R4 and Class W, there is no initial sales charge so the public offering price is the same as the NAV. AGREEMENTS The description of the Transfer Agency Agreement is supplemented as follows: The annual rate for Class R4 is 0.05% of average daily net assets attributable to Class R4. The annual rate for Class W is 0.20% of average daily net assets attributable to Class W. The description of the Plan and Agreement of Distribution is supplemented as follows: The fee for Class W, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to Class W, is 0.25%. The description of the Plan Administration Services Agreement is added as follows: PLAN ADMINISTRATION SERVICES AGREEMENT Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement the Fund pays for plan administration services, including recordkeeping, communication or educational services to 529 and retirement plan sponsors, plans and plan participants. The fee under the agreement for Class R4 is 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the fund, attributable to the class. References to the Class Y shareholder service agreement are omitted. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 4 -- RIVERSOURCE [LOGO](SM) INVESTMENTS PROSPECTUS AND STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SUPPLEMENT -- NOV. 29, 2006 RiverSource U.S. Government Mortgage Fund -- Prospectus (7/28/06) S-6245-99 H RiverSource U.S. Government Mortgage Fund -- Statement of Additional Information (11/29/06) S-6500 P

Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant: None. Item 25. Indemnification The Articles of Incorporation of the registrant provide that the Fund shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that she or he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Fund, or is or was serving at the request of the Fund as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, wherever brought, and the Fund may purchase liability insurance and advance legal expenses, all to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Minnesota, as now existing or hereafter amended. The By-laws of the registrant provide that present or former directors or officers of the Fund made or threatened to be made a party to or involved (including as a witness) in an actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding shall be indemnified by the Fund to the full extent authorized by the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, all as more fully set forth in the By-laws filed as an exhibit to this registration statement. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Any indemnification hereunder shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which the directors, officers, employees or agents might otherwise be entitled. No indemnification shall be made in violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
