AIM Investments announced today that AIM's allocation
products, a group of seven mutual funds that offer investors a
simplified approach to achieving asset allocation and diversification,
has exceeded $1 billion in assets under management.
"This milestone is a reflection of investors' increasing
acceptance of the fundamental benefits of asset allocation," said Mark
Williamson, President and Chief Executive Officer of AIM Investments.
"By providing seven distinct allocation funds, each with its own risk
level and target allocation across various asset classes, we can help
advisors build quality solutions based on their clients' financial
goals and risk tolerance."
Each fund in AIM's line of allocation products is a "fund of
funds" and uses strategic asset allocation by selecting underlying AIM
funds to represent broad asset classes.
"This achievement underscores our growing reputation for quality
investment management across all asset classes regardless of
geography, market cap, or investment style," Mr. Williamson said.
The first three funds - AIM Conservative Allocation Fund, AIM
Growth Allocation Fund (formerly AIM Aggressive Allocation Fund) and
AIM Moderate Allocation Fund--were launched on April 30, 2004. AIM
Moderate Growth Allocation Fund and AIM Moderately Conservative
Allocation Fund followed on April 29, 2005. AIM Income Allocation Fund
and AIM International Allocation Fund opened to new investors on Oct.
31, 2005.
Important Information About Investing in the AIM Allocation Funds
Each fund is a "fund of funds," which means that it invests its
assets in other underlying mutual funds advised by A I M Advisors,
Inc. The advisor may change the fund's asset class allocations, the
underlying funds or the target weightings in the underlying funds at
its discretion. Investing in funds that invest internationally
presents certain risks not associated with investing solely in the
United States. These include, for instance, risks relating to
fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of
other currencies, the custody arrangements made for the fund's foreign
holdings, political and economic risks, differences in accounting
procedures, the lesser degree for public information required to be
provided by non-U.S. companies, and relatively low market liquidity.
Investors will bear not just their share of the fund's operational
expenses, but also, indirectly, the operating expenses of the
underlying funds.
