AIM Will Launch Demographic Fund

AIM Advisors of Houston plans to launch a fund that will invest in companies it expects will benefit from demographic, economic and lifestyle trends. The fund, to be called the AIM Dent Demographic Trends Fund and to be introduced in June, will be an all-cap growth fund modeled after the teachings of strategic consultant Harry S. Dent, Jr. Through his company, H.S. Dent Advisors, Dent will serve as sub-adviser to the fund.

Edgar Larsen, AIM's chief equity officer, will manage the fund along with senior portfolio manager Lanny Sachnowitz and portfolio manager Derek Webb.
