The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York's inquiry involves certain AIM funds or individuals, the company's SEC filing said, but the exact nature was not disclosed.

It marks the second Amvescap company in the last two months to receive an inquiry from a U.S. Attorney. Last month, Invesco got a similar letter from the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, but Invesco too said it was not under any kind of investigation.
