*Amended as of Oct. 3, 2005 **Amended as of Nov. 11, 2005 References to "Fund" throughout this supplement refer to the foregoing individual funds, singularly or collectively as the context requires. SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS At the regular shareholder meetings on Feb. 15, 2006, shareholders of the Funds listed above approved the following proposals: 1. Election of directors/trustees ("Board members"). Shareholders of all funds voted to elect Board members. 2. Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation. Except for shareholders of California Tax-Exempt, Massachusetts Tax-Exempt, Michigan Tax-Exempt, Minnesota Tax-Exempt, New York Tax-Exempt and Ohio Tax-Exempt, shareholders approved amendments to the articles of incorporation to permit the Board to establish the minimum account value and to change the name of the corporation to include the name "RiverSource." 3. Investment Management and Services Agreement ("IMS Agreement") with RiverSource Investments, LLC ("RiverSource Investments"). Shareholders of all funds voted to approve an IMS Agreement with RiverSource Investments. On Sept. 30, 2005, Ameriprise Financial, Inc., the former investment adviser to each fund and the parent company of RiverSource Investments, became a publicly traded company and on Oct. 1, 2005 transferred its investment management functions and IMS Agreement to RiverSource Investments. While these transfers did not cause a termination of the IMS Agreement, the Board determined that it would be prudent to give shareholders an opportunity to review and vote on the proposed IMS Agreement and the changes briefly described below. a. Performance Incentive Adjustment. For equity and balanced funds, except for S&P 500 Index and Small Company Index Funds, the approved IMS Agreement clarifies the circumstances under which the Board may change an index for purposes of calculating a performance incentive adjustment. b. Fee Schedule. For certain funds listed in the table below, the approved IMS Agreement includes an increase in the fee schedule. For the remaining funds, the fee schedule will remain the same or decrease. Table 3. Fee Schedules

Amending or replacing these policies is not expected to have any impact on the funds' investment practices. 6. Mergers. As shown in the table below, shareholders of certain funds voted to approve the reorganization of the fund into another RiverSource fund. Table 6. Mergers
