  The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares to 0.80%, 1.55%, 1.55%, 1.05% and 0.55% of average daily net assets, respectively. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2011.
 
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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
 
                                     
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years    
 
Class A

Class R
    [ ]       [ ]       [ ]       [ ]

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities.
 
The principal type of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are corporate bonds of varying maturities, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements (including, credit default swaps). The Fund engages in dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s return on cash.
 
The Fund will normally invest in a portfolio of investment grade securities generally represented by the sector categories within the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the benchmark index). The Fund considers securities to be of investment grade quality if they are rated within the four highest ratings for long-term debt obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the Fund’s portfolio managers deem the securities to be of comparable quality. The Fund will attempt to maintain (i) a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of between three and ten years, and (ii) a duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of within +/- 1.5 years of the benchmark index.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the fund relative to that benchmark. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a team of independent specialists in positioning the fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a different team of specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and selection) to implement those

recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. The portfolio managers rely on the specialists for adjusting the fund’s risk exposures and security selection. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
 
Performance Information

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.

Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.
 
Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities.
 
The principal type of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are corporate bonds of varying maturities, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements (including, credit default swaps). The Fund engages in dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s return on cash.
 
The Fund will normally invest in a portfolio of investment grade securities generally represented by the sector categories within the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the benchmark index). The Fund considers securities to be of investment grade quality if they are rated within the four highest ratings for long-term debt obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the Fund’s portfolio managers deem the securities to be of comparable quality. The Fund will attempt to maintain (i) a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of between three and ten years, and (ii) a duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of within +/- 1.5 years of the benchmark index.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent, specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic Fundamentals, credit-related Fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate,

Table of Contents

credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase. Also, in the event the buyer of mortgage-related files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale may be restricted pending a decision whether the Fund is obligated to repurchase mortgage-related securities.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, the Fund may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Conversely, when interest rates rise, prepayments may happen more slowly, causing the security to lengthen in duration. Longer duration securities tend to be more volatile. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.

Other Information
 
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Core Bond Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of this prospectus.
 
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both.
 
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
 
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Shareholder Account Information
 
In addition to the Fund, Invesco serves as investment adviser to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors (Invesco Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail share classes.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules which differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus.
 
Additional information is available on the Internet at www.invesco.com , then click on the link for Accounts & Services, then Service Center, or consult the Fund’s SAI, which is available on that same Web site or upon request free of charge. The Web site is not part of this prospectus.
 
Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

A-1        The Invesco Funds

MCF—04/10


Table of Contents

 
Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). These plans include 401(k) plans (including Invesco Solo 401(k) plans), money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. However, plans that have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
 
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
 
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First
    5 %     1 %

CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund
Invesco European Small Company Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
Invesco Global Health Care Fund
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco Gold & Precious Metals Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
 
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.
 
Minimum Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, B, C, Y and Investor Class shares for fund accounts are as follows:

  In addition, Invesco Investment Services, Inc. does not accept cash equivalents for employer sponsored plan accounts. Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that day.
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:

n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.

 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
  
 
  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of mid-capitalization issuers.
 
  The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities.
 
  The Fund considers an issuer to be a mid-capitalization issuer if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized issuers included in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. As of February 28, 2010, the capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index range from $239 million to $17.4 billion.
 
  The portfolio managers actively manage the Fund using a two-step security selection process that combines quantitative and fundamental analyses. The quantitative analysis ranks securities based primarily on: (1) fundamentals, (2) valuation, and (3) timeliness. The fundamental analysis identifies both industries and mid-capitalization issuers that, in the portfolio managers’ view, have high growth potential and are also favorably priced relative to the growth expectations for that issuer.
 
  The portfolio managers base their selection of securities on an analysis of individual issuers. The investment process employs fundamental research, including financial statement analysis and management visits to identify securities of issuers believed to have large potential markets, cash-generating business models, improving balance sheets and solid management teams; and a variety of valuation techniques to determine target buy and sell prices as well as a security’s valuation upside and downside potential.
 
  The resulting portfolio contains consistent growth issuers and earnings-acceleration issuers.
 
  The portfolio managers consider selling or reducing the Fund’s holdings in a security if: (1) it no longer meets the investment criteria; (2) an issuer’s fundamentals deteriorate; (3) a security’s price reaches its

valuation target; (4) an issuer is no longer considered a mid-capitalization issuer; and/or (5) a more attractive investment option is identified.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
   Growth Investing Risk . Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
 
   Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
   Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
   Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk . Stocks of small and mid sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
 
  As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
  The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of mid-capitalization issuers.
 
  The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities.
 
  The Fund considers an issuer to be a mid-capitalization issuer if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized issuers included in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. As of February 28, 2010, the capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index range from $239 million to $17.4 billion. The Russell Mid Cap ® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest issuers with the lowest market capitalization in the Russell 1000 ® Index. The Russell 1000 ® Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of equity securities of the 1,000 largest issuers in the Russell 3000 ® Index, which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. issuers based on total market capitalization. The issuers in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index are considered representative of medium-sized issuers and constitute approximately 25% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 ® Index.
 
  In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
  The portfolio managers actively manage the Fund using a two-step security selection process that combines quantitative and fundamental analyses. The quantitative analysis involves using a securities rating model to rank securities based primarily upon: (1) fundamentals, (2) valuation, and (3) timeliness. The fundamental analysis focuses on identifying both industries and mid-capitalization issuers that, in the portfolio managers’ view, have high growth potential and are also favorably priced relative to the growth expectations for that issuer. The portfolio managers base their selection of securities for the fund on an analysis of individual issuers. The investment process involves:
  n   Applying fundamental research, including financial statement analysis and management visits to identify securities of issuers believed to have large potential markets, cash-generating business models, improving balance sheets and solid management teams; and
  n   Using a variety of valuation techniques to determine target buy and sell prices as well as a security’s valuation upside and downside potential.
 
  The resulting portfolio contains two types of issuers: (1) consistent growth issuers and (2) earnings-acceleration issuers. Consistent growth issuers are issuers with a history of strong returns and, in the portfolio managers’ opinion, are industry leaders serving growing, non-cyclical markets whose performance tends to remain constant regardless of economic conditions. Earnings-acceleration issuers are issuers that are driven by near-term catalysts such as new products, improved processes and/or specific economic conditions that may lead to rapid sales and earnings growth.
 
  The portfolio managers strive to control the Fund’s volatility and risk by varying individual security position sizes and diversifying fund holdings across sectors. The portfolio managers consider selling or reducing the fund’s holdings in a security if: (1) it no longer meets the investment criteria; (2) an issuer’s fundamentals deteriorate; (3) a security’s price reaches its valuation target; (4) an issuer is no longer considered a mid-capitalization issuer; and/or (5) a more attractive investment option is identified.
 
  The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
  The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
   Growth Investing Risk . Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
 
   Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
   Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
   Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk . Stocks of small and mid sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

Other Information
 
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Dynamics Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of this prospectus.
 
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both.
 
  
Dividends
The Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
 
  
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Shareholder Account Information
 
In addition to the Fund, Invesco serves as investment adviser to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors (Invesco Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail share classes.
 
  If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules which differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus.
 
  Additional information is available on the Internet at www.invesco.com , then click on the link for Accounts & Services, then Service Center, or consult the Fund’s SAI, which is available on that same Web site or upon request free of charge. The Web site is not part of this prospectus.
 
Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share Class Eligibility
 
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations and other business and charitable organizations and eligible employee benefit plans. The share classes offer different fee structures which are intended to compensate financial intermediaries for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account when choosing a share class.
 
A-1        The Invesco Funds

MCF—04/10


Table of Contents

 
  Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). These plans include 401(k) plans (including Invesco Solo 401(k) plans), money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. However, plans that have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
 
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
 
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
  The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
  Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
 
Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are grouped into four categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus will

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
  No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
  Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
  This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
  In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
  If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
  If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
  If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First

Seventh and following

CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
  There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
  Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
  The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

  The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
  Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
  The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
  Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
  Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
  If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
  The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
  Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.

  In addition, Invesco Investment Services, Inc. does not accept cash equivalents for employer sponsored plan accounts. Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
 
  Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
  You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that day.
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
  Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
  We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
  You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
  Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
  The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
  If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
  All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:
 
     
Exchange From   Exchange To

  You may exchange your Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class A shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares for Class Y shares of the same Fund if you otherwise qualify to buy that Fund’s Class Y shares. Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
  Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
  Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
  There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
  If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
 
A-8        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

 
Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
  The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
  Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
   Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
  The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
   Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
  The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
  The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
  Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
  Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
  Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
  Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
   Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
   Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
   Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
  Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
   Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
   Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
   Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
   Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
   Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
  Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
  From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
  The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
  For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
  For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
  The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.

 
  The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
   This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
  Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
  Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
  Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
  You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities but may also invest in debt securities including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
 
In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may also invest in the following other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments: derivatives, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and American Depositary Receipts. These derivatives and other instruments may have the effect of leveraging the Fund’s portfolio.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These companies include (i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
 
The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of companies unrelated to the real estate industry that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued and have potential for growth of capital. The Fund limits its investments in debt securities unrelated to the real estate industry to those that are investment-grade or deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.
 
The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
 
The Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when the fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery when
 
1        Invesco Global Real Estate Fund


Table of Contents

the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns (short sales against the box) or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns (short sales against the box). The Fund will not sell a security short, if as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s net assets.
 
The portfolio managers use a fundamentals-driven investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as real property market cycle analysis, real property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions, and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives. The portfolio managers and investment team focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers. Some of the fundamental factors that are evaluated in screening potential investments for the Fund include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property locations, physical attributes and cash flow generating capacity of an issuer’s properties and calculating relative return potential, asset quality, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing and fixed charge coverage ratios. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental attributes are then screened according to pricing factors that allow the management team to assess security valuations relative to one another and relative to the investment teams’ assessment of underlying asset value. The portfolio managers also consider the relative liquidity of each security in the construction of the Fund. The portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index (the benchmark index). The Fund seeks to limit risk through various controls such as diversifying the portfolio property types and geographic areas as well as by limiting the size of any one holding. Various factors may lead to overweighting or underweighting of particular property types and/or geographic areas from time to time.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude (1) its relative valuation falls below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile change significantly, (3) its fundamentals change, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Concentration Risk . To the extent, the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk . Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to theFund’s holdings.
 
Short Sales Risk . Short sales may cause the Fund to repurchase a security at a higher price, causing a loss. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities but may also invest in debt securities including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
 
In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may also invest in the following other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments: derivatives, exchange-traded funds and American Depositary Receipts. These derivatives and other instruments may have the effect of leveraging the Fund’s portfolio.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These companies include (i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
 
The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of companies unrelated to the real estate industry that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued and have potential for growth of capital. The Fund limits its investments in debt securities unrelated to the real estate industry to those that are investment-grade or deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.
 
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, in issuers located in at least three different countries, including the U.S.
 
The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.

The Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when the fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns (short sales against the box) or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns (short sales against the box). The Fund will not sell a security short, if as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s net assets.
 
When constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals-driven investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as real property market cycle analysis, real property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions, and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives. The portfolio managers and investment team focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers. Equity REITs generally invest a majority of their assets in income-producing real estate properties in order to generate cash flow from rental income and a gradual asset appreciation. Each potential investment is analyzed using fundamental research and pricing components to identify attractively priced securities that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects. Some of the fundamental factors that are evaluated in screening potential investments for the Fund include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property locations, physical attributes and cash flow generating capacity of an issuer’s properties and calculating relative return potential, asset quality, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing and fixed charge coverage ratios. The market and issuer research available to the investment team helps the portfolio managers in their efforts to identify REITs and real estate issuers operating in the most attractive markets that represent quality properties, solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental attributes are then screened according to pricing factors that allow the management team to assess security valuations relative to one another and relative to the investment teams’ assessment of underlying asset value. The fundamental research and pricing factors are combined to identify attractively priced securities of issuers that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects. The portfolio managers also consider the relative liquidity of each security in the construction of the Fund. The portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index (the benchmark index). The Fund seeks to limit risk through various controls such as diversifying the portfolio property types and geographic areas as well as by limiting the size of any one holding. Various factors may lead to overweighting or underweighting of particular property types and/or geographic areas from time to time. The Fund uses the benchmark index as a guide in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude (1) its relative valuation falls below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile change significantly, (3) its fundamentals change, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Concentration Risk . To the extent, the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Compared to higher quality debt securities, junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer because they are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The values of junk bonds often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds. Their values can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of economic difficulty when the bonds could be difficult to value or sell at a fair price. Credit ratings on junk bonds do not necessarily reflect their actual market value.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk . Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to theFund’s holdings. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small and mid cap companies, and their shares may be more volatile and less liquid. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management, the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults, the Fund may own real estate directly, which

Table of Contents

involves the following additional risks: environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
 
Short Sales Risk . If the Fund sells short a security that it does not own and the security increases in value, the Fund will pay a higher price to repurchase the security. The more the Fund pays, the more it will lose on the transaction, which adversely affects its share price. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.

Other Information
 
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Global Real Estate Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of this prospectus.

Table of Contents

 
Dividends
The Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly.
 
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
 
Special Tax Information Regarding The Fund
 
Because of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable income. The REIT, and in turn, a Fund may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of capital. Return-of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
 
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Fund’s investment in U.S. REITs will not generally qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
 
The Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through an investment in a U.S. REIT. If, contrary to expectations, the Fund were to receive excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts, such income would be allocated to Fund shareholders with special tax consequences.
 
The sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which a Fund invests may trigger special tax consequences to the Fund’s foreign shareholders.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Shareholder Account Information
 
In addition to the Fund, Invesco serves as investment adviser to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors (Invesco Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail share classes.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules which differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus.
 
Additional information is available on the Internet at www.invesco.com , then click on the link for Accounts & Services, then Service Center, or consult the Fund’s SAI, which is available on that same Web site or upon request free of charge. The Web site is not part of this prospectus.
 
Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share Class Eligibility
 
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations and other business and charitable organizations and eligible employee benefit plans. The share classes offer different fee structures which are intended to compensate financial intermediaries for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account when choosing a share class.
 
A-1        The Invesco Funds

MCF—04/10


Table of Contents

 
Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). These plans include 401(k) plans (including Invesco Solo 401(k) plans), money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. However, plans that have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
 
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
 
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
 
Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are grouped into four categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus will

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First
    5 %     1 %

Seventh and following
    None       None  
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.

  In addition, Invesco Investment Services, Inc. does not accept cash equivalents for employer sponsored plan accounts. Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

Table of Contents

applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that day.
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:
 
     
Exchange From   Exchange To

  You may exchange your Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class A shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares for Class Y shares of the same Fund if you otherwise qualify to buy that Fund’s Class Y shares. Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.

 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

  The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Investor Class shares to 0.99%, 1.74%, 1.74%, 0.74% and 0.99% of average daily net assets, respectively. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2011.
 
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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
 
                                     
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality.
 
The Fund considers debt securities to be below investment grade quality if they are rated BB/Ba or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or are determined by the portfolio managers to be of comparable quality to such rated securities. These types of securities are commonly known as “junk bonds.” The Fund will principally invest in junk bonds rated B or above by an NRSRO or deemed to be of comparable quality by the portfolio managers.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in developing markets.
 
In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on junk bonds that they believe have favorable prospects for high current income and the possibility of growth of capital. Before purchasing securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers conduct a bottom-up fundamental analysis of an issuer that involves an evaluation by a team of credit analysts of an issuer’s financial condition. The fundamental analysis is supplemented by (i) an ongoing review of the securities’ relative value compared with other junk bonds, and (ii) a top-down analysis of sector and macro-economic trends.
 
The portfolio managers attempt to control the Fund’s risk by (i) limiting the portfolio’s assets that are invested in any one security, and (ii) diversifying the portfolio’s holdings over a number of different industries. The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if (1) there appears to be deterioration in a security’s risk profile, or (2) they determine that other securities offer better value.

Table of Contents

 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Developing Markets Securities Risk . Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments and lack of timely information than those in developed countries.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality.
 
The Fund considers debt securities to be below investment grade quality if they are rated BB/Ba or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or are determined by the portfolio managers to be of comparable quality to such rated securities. These types of securities are commonly known as “junk bonds.” The Fund will principally invest in junk bonds rated B or above by an NRSRO or deemed to be of comparable quality by the portfolio managers.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in developing markets.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on junk bonds that they believe have favorable prospects for high current income and the possibility of growth of capital. The portfolio managers conduct a bottom-up fundamental analysis of an issuer before its securities are purchased by the Fund. The fundamental analysis involves an evaluation by a team of credit analysts of an issuer’s financial statements in order to assess its financial condition. The credit analysts also assess the ability of an issuer to reduce its leverage (i.e., the amount of borrowed debt).
 
The bottom-up fundamental analysis is supplemented by (i) an ongoing review of the securities’ relative value compared with other junk bonds, and (ii) a top-down analysis of sector and macro-economic trends, such as changes in interest rates.
 
The portfolio managers attempt to control the Fund’s risk by (i) limiting the portfolio’s assets that are invested in any one security, and (ii) diversifying the portfolio’s holdings over a number of different industries. Although the Fund is actively managed, it is reviewed regularly against its benchmark index (the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index) and its peer group index (the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Index) to assess the portfolio’s relative risk and its positioning.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if (1) there appears to be deterioration in a security’s risk profile, or (2) they determine that other securities offer better value.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Developing Markets Securities Risk . The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be impacted by certain factors more than those in countries with mature economies. For example, developing countries may experience higher rates of inflation or sharply devalue their currencies against the U.S. dollar, thereby causing the value of investments issued by the government or companies located in those countries to decline. Other factors include transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, adverse political developments and lack of timely information.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Compared to higher quality debt securities, junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer because they are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The values of junk bonds often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds. Their values can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of economic difficulty when the bonds could be difficult to value or sell at a fair price. Credit ratings on junk bonds do not necessarily reflect their actual market value.

Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.

Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Shareholder Account Information
 
In addition to the Fund, Invesco serves as investment adviser to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors (Invesco Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail share classes.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules which differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus.
 
Additional information is available on the Internet at www.invesco.com , then click on the link for Accounts & Services, then Service Center, or consult the Fund’s SAI, which is available on that same Web site or upon request free of charge. The Web site is not part of this prospectus.
 
Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share Class Eligibility
 
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations and other business and charitable organizations and eligible employee benefit plans. The share classes offer different fee structures which are intended to compensate financial intermediaries for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account when choosing a share class.
 
A-1        The Invesco Funds

MCF—04/10


Table of Contents

 
Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). These plans include 401(k) plans (including Invesco Solo 401(k) plans), money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. However, plans that have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
 
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
 
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First

CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund
Invesco European Small Company Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
Invesco Global Health Care Fund
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco Gold & Precious Metals Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
 
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.
 
Minimum Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, B, C, Y and Investor Class shares for fund accounts are as follows:

You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

Table of Contents

applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that day.
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:
 
     
Exchange From   Exchange To
 
Invesco Cash Reserve Shares

  You may exchange your Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class A shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares for Class Y shares of the same Fund if you otherwise qualify to buy that Fund’s Class Y shares. Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.

For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests primarily in fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated corporate bonds. The Fund may also invest a significant portion of its assets in derivative instruments such as options, futures (including currency futures), forward currency contracts, and swap agreements (including interest rate, currency, total return and credit default swaps). The Fund may engage in these transactions for hedging or non-hedging purposes. The Fund may also invest in domestic and foreign government obligations, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, money market securities and convertible corporate debt.
 
The Fund may invest up to 40% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in developing markets.
 
The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in non-investment grade debt securities commonly known as “junk bonds” and unrated debt securities deemed by the portfolio managers to be of comparable credit quality standards, but currently does not intend to invest more than 10% of its total assets in such securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a team of independent specialists in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a different team of specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the

Table of Contents

management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. The portfolio managers rely on the specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
 
Developing Markets Securities Risk . Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments and lack of timely information than those in developed countries.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
 
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark with similar investment objectives of the Fund. The benchmarks may not reflect payment of fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.invesco.com.

Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.
 
Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests primarily in fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated corporate bonds. The Fund may also invest a significant portion of its assets in derivative instruments such as options, futures (including currency futures), forward currency contracts, and swap agreements (including interest rate, currency, total return and credit default swaps). The Fund may engage in these transactions for hedging or non-hedging purposes. The Fund may also invest in domestic and foreign government obligations, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, money market securities and convertible corporate debt.
 
The Fund may invest up to 40% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in developing markets.
 
The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in non-investment grade debt securities commonly known as “junk bonds” and unrated debt securities deemed by the portfolio managers to be of comparable credit quality standards, but currently does not intend to invest more than 10% of its total assets in such securities.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index (the benchmark index) in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent, specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate, credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter

derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Developing Markets Securities Risk . The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be impacted by certain factors more than those in countries with mature economies. For example, developing countries may experience higher rates of inflation or sharply devalue their currencies against the U.S. dollar, thereby causing the value of investments issued by the government or companies located in those countries to decline. Other factors include transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, adverse political developments and lack of timely information.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Compared to higher quality debt securities, junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer because they are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The values of junk bonds often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds. Their values can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of economic difficulty when the bonds could be difficult to value or sell at a fair price. Credit ratings on junk bonds do not necessarily reflect their actual market value.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.

Other Information
 
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Income Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of this prospectus.
 
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of ordinary income.
 
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
 
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

A-1        The Invesco Funds

MCF—04/10


Table of Contents

 
Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). These plans include 401(k) plans (including Invesco Solo 401(k) plans), money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. However, plans that have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
 
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
 
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
 
Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are grouped into four categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus will

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First
    5 %     1 %

CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund
Invesco European Small Company Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
Invesco Global Health Care Fund
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco Gold & Precious Metals Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
 
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.
 
Minimum Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, B, C, Y and Investor Class shares for fund accounts are as follows:

Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:
 
     
Exchange From   Exchange To
 
Invesco Cash Reserve Shares

  You may exchange your Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class A shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares for Class Y shares of the same Fund if you otherwise qualify to buy that Fund’s Class Y shares. Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including bills, notes and bonds. The Fund invests principally in short-term U.S. Treasury notes with remaining maturities of five years or less at the time of purchase.
 
The Fund intends to maintain an average weighted maturity of three years or less.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a team of independent specialists in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a different team of specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. The portfolio managers rely on the specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
 
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The performance table compares the Fund’s

Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.
 
Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including bills, notes and bonds. The Fund invests principally in short-term U.S. Treasury notes with remaining maturities of five years or less at the time of purchase.
 
The Fund intends to maintain an average weighted maturity of three years or less.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as duration and the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent, specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-

Table of Contents

efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring portfolios are positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Portfolio managers retain discretion for deciding how risk positions are implemented in the Fund. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate, credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . Because a large percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of securities, a change in the value of these securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
Portfolio Holdings

Other Information
 
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of this prospectus.
 
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of ordinary income.
 
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
 
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Shareholder Account Information
 
In addition to the Fund, Invesco serves as investment adviser to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors (Invesco Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail share classes.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules which differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus.
 
Additional information is available on the Internet at www.invesco.com , then click on the link for Accounts & Services, then Service Center, or consult the Fund’s SAI, which is available on that same Web site or upon request free of charge. The Web site is not part of this prospectus.
 
Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share Class Eligibility
 
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations and other business and charitable organizations and eligible employee benefit plans. The share classes offer different fee structures which are intended to compensate financial intermediaries for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account when choosing a share class.
 
A-1        The Invesco Funds

MCF—04/10


Table of Contents

 
Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). These plans include 401(k) plans (including Invesco Solo 401(k) plans), money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. However, plans that have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
 
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
 
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
 
Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are grouped into four categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus will

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:

Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund
Invesco European Small Company Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
Invesco Global Health Care Fund
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco Gold & Precious Metals Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
 
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.
 
Minimum Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, B, C, Y and Investor Class shares for fund accounts are as follows:

  In addition, Invesco Investment Services, Inc. does not accept cash equivalents for employer sponsored plan accounts. Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that day.
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:
 
     
Exchange From   Exchange To

  You may exchange your Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class A shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares for Class Y shares of the same Fund if you otherwise qualify to buy that Fund’s Class Y shares. Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
 
A-8        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

 
Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

Table of Contents

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

The Fund invests only in the following high-quality U.S. dollar-denominated short-term debt obligations: (i) securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies; (ii) bankers’ acceptances, certificates of deposit, and time deposits from U.S. or foreign banks; (iii) repurchase agreements; (iv) commercial paper; (v) taxable municipal securities; (vi) master notes; and (vii) cash equivalents. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the financial services industry.
 
The Fund seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. The Fund invests in accordance with industry standard requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity and diversification of investments.
 
The Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign securities. The Fund will limit investments to those which are First Tier Securities at the time of acquisition.
 
In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on securities that offer safety, liquidity, and a competitive yield. The portfolio managers conduct a credit analysis of each potential issuer prior to the purchase of its securities.
 
The portfolio managers normally hold portfolio securities to maturity. The portfolio managers consider selling a security: (i) if the issuer’s credit quality declines, (ii) as a result of interest rate changes, or (iii) to enhance yield.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.

Industry Focus Risk . To the extent aFund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries, theFund’s performance will depend on the overall condition of those industries, which may be affected by the following factors: the supply of short-term financing; changes in government regulation and interest rates; and overall economy.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Money Market Fund Risk . The Fund is a money market fund and an investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of investments at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Additionally, the Fund’s yield will vary as the short-term securities in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested in other securities.
 
Municipal Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in municipal securities. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and theFund’s ability to sell it. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value.
 
Repurchase Agreement Risk . If the seller of a repurchase agreement in which the Fund invests defaults on its obligation or declares bankruptcy, the Fund may experience delays in selling the securities underlying the repurchase agreement resulting in losses.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests only in the following high-quality U.S. dollar-denominated short-term debt obligations: (i) securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies; (ii) bankers’ acceptances, certificates of deposit, and time deposits from U.S. or foreign banks; (iii) repurchase agreements; (iv) commercial paper; (v) taxable municipal securities; (vi) master notes; and (vii) cash equivalents. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the financial services industry.
 
As permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. The Fund invests in accordance with industry standard requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity and diversification of investments. The Fund invests only in U.S. dollar denominated securities maturing within 13 months of the date of purchase, with certain exceptions permitted by applicable regulations, and the Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted portfolio maturity of no more than 90 days. Each investment must be determined to present minimal credit risks by the Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to guidelines approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, and must be an “Eligible Security” as defined under applicable regulations. (“Eligible Securities” generally include securities within the top two rating categories by rating agencies (commonly referred to as “First or Second Tier Securities”), unrated securities determined to be of comparable quality by the investment adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, U.S. Government securities and shares of other registered money market funds).
 
The Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign securities. The Fund will limit investments to those which are First Tier Securities at the time of acquisition.
 
In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on securities that offer safety, liquidity, and a competitive yield. The portfolio managers conduct a credit analysis of each potential issuer prior to the purchase of its securities.
 
The portfolio managers normally hold portfolio securities to maturity. The portfolio managers consider selling a security: (i) if the issuer’s credit quality declines, (ii) as a result of interest rate changes, or (iii) to enhance yield.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions by holding cash, shortening the Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity or investing in other securities that are eligible securities for purchase by money market funds as described in this prospectus and the Fund’s SAI and that are consistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies, in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. It is possible that such investments could affect the Fund’s returns.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
Industry Focus Risk . To the extent aFund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries, theFund’s performance will depend on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Money Market Fund Risk . The Fund is a money market fund and an investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of investments at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Additionally, the Fund’s yield will vary as the short-term securities in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested in other securities. The following factors could reduce the Fund’s income and/or share price:
  n   sharply rising or falling interest rates;
  n   risks generally associated with concentrating investments in the banking and financial services industries, such as interest rate risk, credit risk and regulatory developments;
  n   risks generally associated with U.S. dollar-denominated foreign investments, including political and economic upheaval, seizure of nationalization of deposits, and imposition of taxes or other restrictions on the payment of principal and interest; or
  n   the risk that a given portfolio instrument that has been structured as to its credit quality, duration, liquidity, or other features to meet existing industry standards regarding the appropriateness of such instrument for investment by a money market fund.
 
Municipal Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in municipal securities. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest

payments, repayment of principal and theFund’s ability to sell it. Revenue bonds are generally not backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality. To the extent that a municipal security is not heavily followed by the investment community or such security issue is relatively small, the security may be difficult to value or sell at a desirable price. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which could result in a decline in the security’s value.
 
Repurchase Agreement Risk . If the seller of a repurchase agreement in which the Fund invests defaults on its obligation or declares bankruptcy, the Fund may experience delays in selling the securities underlying the repurchase agreement. As a result, the Fund may incur losses arising from decline in the value of those securities, reduced levels of income and expenses of enforcing its rights.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.
 
Portfolio Holdings
A description of the Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund portfolio holdings is available in the Fund SAI, which is available at www.invesco.com.

Invesco, not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
 
A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent report to shareholders for the six-month period ended August 31.
 
 
Other Information
 
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of ordinary income.
 
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
 
In order to earn dividends on a purchase of fund shares on the day of the purchase, the transfer agent must receive payment in federal funds before 12:00 noon Eastern Time on that day. Purchases made by payments in other forms, or payments in federal funds received after 12:00 noon Eastern Time but before the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange, will begin to earn dividends on the next business day.
 
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
 
Special Tax Information Regarding The Fund
 
Because the Fund expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares.
 
Financial Highlights
 
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share.
 
The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions).
 
The information has been audited by [                    ] whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the fund’s annual report, which is available upon request.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Shareholder Account Information
 
In addition to the Fund, Invesco serves as investment adviser to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors (Invesco Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail share classes.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules which differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus.
 
Additional information is available on the Internet at www.invesco.com , then click on the link for Accounts & Services, then Service Center, or consult the Fund’s SAI, which is available on that same Web site or upon request free of charge. The Web site is not part of this prospectus.
 
Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision.

Share Class Eligibility
 
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A, B, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations and other business and charitable organizations and eligible employee benefit plans. The share classes offer different fee structures which are intended to compensate financial intermediaries for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account when choosing a share class.
 
A-1        The Invesco Funds

MCF—04/10


Table of Contents

 
Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). These plans include 401(k) plans (including Invesco Solo 401(k) plans), money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. However, plans that have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
 
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
 
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First

CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund
Invesco European Small Company Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
Invesco Global Health Care Fund
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco Gold & Precious Metals Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
 
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.
 
Minimum Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, B, C, Y and Investor Class shares for fund accounts are as follows:

Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

Table of Contents

applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that day.
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:
 
     
Exchange From   Exchange To
 
Invesco Cash Reserve Shares

  You may exchange your Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class A shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares for Class Y shares of the same Fund if you otherwise qualify to buy that Fund’s Class Y shares. Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

  The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Investor Class shares to 0.57%, 1.32%, 1.32%, 0.32% and 0.57% of average daily net assets, respectively. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2011.
 
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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
 
                                     
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years    
 
Class A

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal debt securities that (1) pay interest that is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (2) do not produce income that will be considered to be an item of preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax.
 
The principal type of municipal debt securities purchased by the Fund are municipal bonds, which include revenue bonds and general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds are repaid from revenues generated by the projects that they Fund and are generally not backed by the taxing power of the municipal issuer. General obligation bonds are repaid from a municipality’s general revenues and are generally backed by the full faith and credit of the municipal issuer.
 
Municipal bonds include debt obligations of varying maturities issued to obtain funds for various public purposes by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities and instrumentalities. Certain types of industrial development bonds, such as private activity bonds, that meet certain standards, are treated as municipal bonds.
 
Although the portfolio managers consider the Fund to be a long maturity bond fund, the Fund has no restrictions on its maturity or duration.
 
At least 80% of the Fund’s total assets will normally be invested in municipal bonds that are determined to be of investment grade quality because they (i) are rated within the four highest credit quality ratings for long-term municipal obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P), or have received a comparable rating from any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or (ii) are determined by the portfolio managers to be of comparable quality to such rated securities. Principal and/or interest payments of certain municipal bonds are insured by a bond insurance company.
 
1        Invesco Municipal Bond Fund


Table of Contents

 
The portfolio managers select securities for the Fund based on their apparent prospects for current income, while attempting to preserve principal. The portfolio managers and credit analysts analyze each new issue to determine whether the value of the issue and its maturity would enable the Fund to manage its duration.
 
The portfolio managers may shorten or lengthen the duration of the Fund’s portfolio to protect principal in the event of rising or falling interest rates.
 
The portfolio managers attempt to control the Fund’s risk by limiting its duration.
 
The portfolio managers normally hold municipal bonds to maturity. The portfolio managers consider selling a security: (i) if the issuer’s credit quality declines, (ii) to shorten or lengthen the Fund’s duration, (iii) as a result of interest rate changes, or (iv) to limit exposure to a sector or issuer.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk . Stocks of small and mid sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
 
Municipal Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in municipal securities. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and theFund’s ability to sell it. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
 
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark and a peer group benchmark with similar investment objectives of the Fund. The benchmarks may not reflect payment of fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.invesco.com.

These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.
 
Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of federal tax-exempt current income and taxable capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal debt securities that (1) pay interest that is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (2) do not produce income that will be considered to be an item of preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax.
 
The principal type of municipal debt securities purchased by the Fund are municipal bonds, which include revenue bonds and general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds are repaid from revenues generated by the projects that they Fund and are generally not backed by the taxing power of the municipal issuer. General obligation bonds are repaid from a municipality’s general revenues and are generally backed by the full faith and credit of the municipal issuer.
 
Municipal bonds include debt obligations of varying maturities issued to obtain funds for various public purposes by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities and instrumentalities. Certain types of industrial development bonds, such as private activity bonds, that meet certain standards, are treated as municipal bonds.
 
Although the portfolio managers consider the Fund to be a long maturity bond fund, the Fund has no restrictions on its maturity or duration.
 
At least 80% of the Fund’s total assets will normally be invested in municipal bonds that are determined to be of investment grade quality because they (i) are rated within the four highest credit quality ratings for long-term municipal obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P), or have received a comparable rating from any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or (ii) are determined by the portfolio managers to be of comparable quality to such rated securities. Principal and/or interest payments of certain municipal bonds are insured by a bond insurance company.
 
The portfolio managers select securities for the Fund based on their apparent prospects for current income, while attempting to preserve principal. The portfolio managers and credit analysts analyze each new issue to determine whether the value of the issue and its maturity would enable the Fund to manage its duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates).
 
For new purchases of municipal debt securities that have a lower-quality credit rating (Aa/AA or lower), or that are uninsured, credit analysts conduct additional research on the issuer, the market sector and the structure of the bond to identify features for pricing comparisons. The credit analysts consider an issue’s cash flow and projected revenue, loan covenants and the project history of the issuer.
 
The portfolio managers may shorten or lengthen the duration of the Fund’s portfolio to protect principal in the event of rising or falling interest rates.
 
The portfolio managers attempt to control the Fund’s risk by limiting its duration.
 
The portfolio managers normally hold municipal bonds to maturity. The portfolio managers consider selling a security: (i) if the issuer’s credit quality declines, (ii) to shorten or lengthen the Fund’s duration, (iii) as a result of interest rate changes, or (iv) to limit exposure to a sector or issuer.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure

of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk . Stocks of small and mid sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
 
Municipal Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in municipal securities. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and theFund’s ability to sell it. Revenue bonds are generally not backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality. To the extent that a municipal security is not heavily followed by the investment community or such security issue is relatively small, the security may be difficult to value or sell at a desirable price. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which could result in a decline in the security’s value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.

Table of Contents

 
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of tax-exempt income.
 
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
 
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
 
Special Tax Information Regarding The Fund
 
You will not be required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in your gross income for federal income tax purposes. You will be required to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
 
A Fund may invest in municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for you. However, under recently enacted provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, tax exempt interest on such municipal securities issued in 2009 and 2010 is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax.
 
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
 
A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
 
A Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
 
Exempt-interest dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
 
There are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the Internal Revenue Service or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision.

For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
 
Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are grouped into four categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus will

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First
    5 %     1 %

CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund
Invesco European Small Company Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
Invesco Global Health Care Fund
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco Gold & Precious Metals Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
 
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.
 
Minimum Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, B, C, Y and Investor Class shares for fund accounts are as follows:

  In addition, Invesco Investment Services, Inc. does not accept cash equivalents for employer sponsored plan accounts. Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.

How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:
 
     
Exchange From   Exchange To

  You may exchange your Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class A shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares for Class Y shares of the same Fund if you otherwise qualify to buy that Fund’s Class Y shares. Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund invests primarily in equity securities.
 
In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may also invest in the following other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments: derivatives, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and American Depositary Receipts. These derivatives and other instruments may have the effect of leveraging the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund may also invest in debt securities including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These issuers include (i) REITs or other real estate operating issuers that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
 
The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of issuers unrelated to the real estate industry that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued and have potential for growth of capital. The Fund limits its investments in debt securities unrelated to the real estate industry to those that are investment-grade or deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.
 
The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
 
The Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when the Fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns (short sales against the box) or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns (short sales against the box). The Fund will not sell a security short, if as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets.
 
When constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals driven investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as real property market cycle analysis, real property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions, and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
 
The portfolio managers and investment team focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers. Some of the fundamental factors that are evaluated in screening potential investments for the Fund include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property locations, physical attributes and cash flow generating capacity of an issuer’s properties and calculating relative

Table of Contents

return potential, asset quality, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing and fixed charge coverage ratios. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental attributes are then screened according to pricing factors that allow the management team to assess security valuations relative to one another and relative to the investment teams’ assessment of underlying asset value. The portfolio managers also consider the relative liquidity of each security in the construction of the Fund.
 
The portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index (the benchmark index). The Fund seeks to limit risk through various controls, such as diversifying the portfolio property types and geographic areas as well as by limiting the size of any one holding. Various factors may lead to overweighting or underweighting of particular property types and/or geographic areas from time to time.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude (1) its relative valuation falls below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile changes significantly, (3) its fundamentals change, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Concentration Risk . To the extent, the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk . Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to theFund’s holdings.
 
Short Sales Risk . Short sales may cause the Fund to repurchase a security at a higher price, causing a loss. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
 
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark with similar investment objectives of the Fund. The benchmarks may not reflect payment of fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.invesco.com.
 
Annual Total Returns

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.

Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.
 
Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund invests primarily in equity securities.
 
In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may also invest in the following other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments: derivatives, exchange-traded funds and American Depositary Receipts. These derivatives and other instruments may have the effect of leveraging the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund may also invest in debt securities including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These issuers include (i) REITs or other real estate operating issuers that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
 
The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of issuers unrelated to the real estate industry that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued and have potential for growth of capital. The Fund limits its investments in debt securities unrelated to the real estate industry to those that are investment-grade or deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.
 
The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
 
The Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when the Fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns (short sales against the box) or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns (short sales against the box). The Fund will not sell a security short, if as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets.
 
When constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals driven investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as real property market cycle analysis, real property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions, and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
 
The portfolio managers and investment team focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers. Equity REITs generally invest a majority of their assets in income-producing real estate properties in order to generate cash flow from rental income and a gradual asset appreciation. Each potential investment is analyzed using fundamental research and pricing components to identify attractively priced securities that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects. Some of the fundamental factors that are evaluated in screening potential investments for the Fund include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property

markets in which a firm may operate, property locations, physical attributes and cash flow generating capacity of an issuer’s properties and calculating relative return potential, asset quality, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing and fixed charge coverage ratios. The market and issuer research available to the investment team helps the portfolio managers in their efforts to identify REITs and real estate issuers operating in the most attractive markets that represent quality properties, solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental attributes are then screened according to pricing factors that allow the management team to assess security valuations relative to one another and relative to the investment teams’ assessment of underlying asset value. The fundamental research and pricing factors are combined to identify attractively priced securities of issuers that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects. The portfolio managers also consider the relative liquidity of each security in the construction of the Fund.
 
The portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index (the benchmark index). The Fund seeks to limit risk through various controls, such as diversifying the portfolio property types and geographic areas as well as by limiting the size of any one holding. Various factors may lead to overweighting or underweighting of particular property types and/or geographic areas from time to time.
 
The Fund uses the benchmark index as a guide in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude (1) its relative valuation falls below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile changes significantly, (3) its fundamentals change, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Concentration Risk . To the extent, the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Compared to higher quality debt securities, junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer because they are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The values of junk bonds often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds. Their values can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of economic difficulty when the bonds could be difficult to value or sell at a fair price. Credit ratings on junk bonds do not necessarily reflect their actual market value.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . Because a large percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of securities, a change in the value of these securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk . Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to theFund’s holdings. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small and mid cap companies, and their shares may be more volatile and less liquid. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management, the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults, the Fund may own real estate directly, which involves the following additional risks: environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
 
Short Sales Risk . If the Fund sells short a security that it does not own and the security increases in value, the Fund will pay a higher price to repurchase the security. The more the Fund pays, the more it will lose on the transaction, which adversely affects its share price. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.

The following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
 
n   Joe Rodriguez, Jr., (lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 1995 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 1990.
 
n   Mark Blackburn, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2000 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 1998.
 
n   Paul Curbo, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2007 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 1998.
 
n   James Trowbridge, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 1995 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 1989.
 
n   Darin Turner, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2009 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2005. Prior to 2005, he was a financial analyst in the corporate finance group of ORIX Capital Markets.

Other Information
 
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Real Estate Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of this prospectus.
 
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of ordinary income.
 
Dividends
The Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly.
 
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
 
Future Fund Closure (Invesco Real Estate Fund)
Due to the sometimes limited availability of investment opportunities meeting the investment criteria for the Fund, the Fund may periodically suspend or limit the offering of its shares. During closed periods, the Fund may impose different standards for additional investments.
 
Special Tax Information Regarding The Fund
 
Because of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable income. The REIT, and in turn, a Fund may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of capital. Return-of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
 
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Fund’s investment in U.S. REITs will not generally qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
 
The Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through an investment in a U.S. REIT. If, contrary to expectations, the Fund were to receive excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts, such income would be allocated to Fund shareholders with special tax consequences.
 
The sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which a Fund invests may trigger special tax consequences to the Fund’s foreign shareholders.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
 
Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are grouped into four categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus will

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First
    5 %     1 %

CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund
Invesco European Small Company Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
Invesco Global Health Care Fund
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco Gold & Precious Metals Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
 
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.
 
Minimum Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, B, C, Y and Investor Class shares for fund accounts are as follows:

  In addition, Invesco Investment Services, Inc. does not accept cash equivalents for employer sponsored plan accounts. Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that day.
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:
 
     
Exchange From   Exchange To
 
Invesco Cash Reserve Shares

  You may exchange your Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class A shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares for Class Y shares of the same Fund if you otherwise qualify to buy that Fund’s Class Y shares. Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.

 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

  The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares to 0.66%, 0.91% (after Rule 12b-1 fee waiver), 0.91% and 0.41% of average daily net assets, respectively. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2011.
 
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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
 
                                     
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years

Class Y
    [ ]       [ ]       [ ]       [ ]      
 
Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities.
 
The principal types of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are investment grade quality: corporate bonds of varying maturities, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and preferred stocks. The Fund considers securities to be of investment grade quality if they are rated within the four highest ratings for long-term debt obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
 
(S&P) or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the Fund’s portfolio managers deem the securities to be of comparable credit quality. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements (including credit default swaps). The Fund engages in dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s return on cash.
 
The Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity and duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of less than three years.
 
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a team of independent specialists in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a different team of specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. The portfolio managers rely on the specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may

Table of Contents

decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
 
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark with similar investment objectives of the Fund. The benchmarks may not reflect payment of fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.invesco.com.

Tax Information

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.
 
Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities.
 
The principal types of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are investment grade quality: corporate bonds of varying maturities, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and preferred stocks. The Fund considers securities to be of investment grade quality if they are rated within the four highest ratings for long-term debt obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
 
(S&P) or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the Fund’s portfolio managers deem the securities to be of comparable credit quality. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements (including credit default swaps). The Fund engages in dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s return on cash.
 
The Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity and duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of less than three years.
 
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent, specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Portfolio managers retain discretion for deciding how risk positions are implemented. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate, credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase. Also, in the event the buyer of mortgage-related files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s

use of the proceeds from the sale may be restricted pending a decision whether the Fund is obligated to repurchase mortgage-related securities.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . Because a large percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of securities, a change in the value of these securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, the Fund may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Conversely, when interest rates rise, prepayments may happen more slowly, causing the security to lengthen in duration. Longer duration securities tend to be more volatile. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.

A description of the Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund portfolio holdings is available in the Fund SAI, which is available at www.invesco.com.
 
Fund Management
 
The Advisers
Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco) serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
 
Civil lawsuits, including a regulatory proceeding and purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain Invesco Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (IFG) (the former investment adviser to certain Invesco Funds), Invesco Advisers, Inc., successor by merger to Invesco Aim Advisers, Inc., Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors), formerly Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc., (the distributor of the Invesco Funds) and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging among other things that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the Funds.
 
Additional civil lawsuits related to the above or other matters may be filed by regulators or private litigants against Invesco Funds, IFG, Invesco, Invesco Distributors and/or related entities and individuals in the future. More detailed information concerning all of the above matters, including the parties to the civil lawsuits and summaries of the various allegations and remedies sought in such lawsuits, can be found in the SAI.
 
Adviser Compensation
During the fiscal period ended February 28, 2010, the Adviser received compensation of 0.00% of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund’s average daily net assets after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
 
Invesco, not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
 
A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent report to shareholders for the six-month period ended August 31.

Other Information
 
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of this prospectus.
 
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of ordinary income.
 
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
 
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.
                                                                                 
1 Your actual expenses may be higher or lower than those shown.
2 The hypothetical assumes you hold your investment for a full 10 years. Therefore, any applicable deferred sales charge that might apply in year one for Class C has not been deducted.

Shareholder Account Information
 
In addition to the Fund, Invesco serves as investment adviser to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors (Invesco Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail share classes.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules which differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus.
 
Additional information is available on the Internet at www.invesco.com , then click on the link for Accounts & Services, then Service Center, or consult the Fund’s SAI, which is available on that same Web site or upon request free of charge. The Web site is not part of this prospectus.
 
Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

A-1        The Invesco Funds

MCF—04/10


Table of Contents

 
Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). These plans include 401(k) plans (including Invesco Solo 401(k) plans), money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. However, plans that have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
 
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
 
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
 
Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are grouped into four categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus will

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First

CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund
Invesco European Small Company Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
Invesco Global Health Care Fund
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco Gold & Precious Metals Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
 
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.
 
Minimum Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, B, C, Y and Investor Class shares for fund accounts are as follows:

  In addition, Invesco Investment Services, Inc. does not accept cash equivalents for employer sponsored plan accounts. Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

Table of Contents

applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that day.
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:

  You may exchange your Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class A shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares for Class Y shares of the same Fund if you otherwise qualify to buy that Fund’s Class Y shares. Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.

 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
 
Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address (Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact Invesco Investment Services, Inc. at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. We will begin sending you individual copies for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.

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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities issued, guaranteed or otherwise backed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. These securities include: (1) U.S. Treasury obligations and (2) obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities and supported by (a) the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, (b) the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, or (c) the credit of the agency or instrumentality. The principal type of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are callable bonds that can be redeemed by the issuer prior to their stated maturity, bullet-maturity debt bonds with a stated maturity date; mortgage- backed securities consisting of interests in underlying mortgages with maturities of up to thirty years, and Treasury and agency holdings. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as treasury futures and options on treasury futures. The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund often uses Treasury futures and dollar rolls transactions to gain exposure to the Treasury and agency MBS markets while deploying Fund assets in other securities.
 
The Fund invests in securities of all maturities, but will maintain a weighted average effective maturity for the portfolio of between three and ten years.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a team of independent specialists in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a different team of specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and selection) to implement those

recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. The portfolio managers rely on the specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk . Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities to be repurchased may decline below the repurchase price or that the other party may default on its obligation, resulting in delays, additional costs or the restriction of proceeds from the sale.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
 
Performance Information

Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities issued, guaranteed or otherwise backed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. These securities include: (1) U.S. Treasury obligations and (2) obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities and supported by (a) the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, (b) the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, or (c) the credit of the agency or instrumentality. The principal type of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are callable bonds that can be redeemed by the issuer prior to their stated maturity, bullet-maturity debt bonds with a stated maturity date; mortgage- backed securities consisting of interests in underlying mortgages with maturities of up to thirty years, and Treasury and agency holdings. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as treasury futures and options on treasury futures. The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund often uses Treasury futures and dollar rolls transactions to gain exposure to the Treasury and agency MBS markets while deploying Fund assets in other securities.
 
The Fund invests in securities of all maturities, but will maintain a weighted average effective maturity for the portfolio of between three and ten years.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as duration, the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, U.S. agency exposure, U.S. agency mortgage-backed security (MBS) exposure, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Security (TIPS) to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Portfolio managers retain discretion for deciding how to implement recommended risk positions. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate, credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives

Table of Contents

may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase. Also, in the event the buyer of mortgage-related files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale may be restricted pending a decision whether the Fund is obligated to repurchase mortgage-related securities.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . Because a large percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of securities, a change in the value of these securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, the Fund may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Conversely, when interest rates rise, prepayments may happen more slowly, causing the security to lengthen in duration. Longer duration securities tend to be more volatile. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk . Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities to be repurchased may decline below the repurchase price, or that the other party may default on its obligation, causing the underlying fund to be delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the underlying fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the underlying fund’s repurchase obligation.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.

Other Information
 
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco U.S. Government Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of this prospectus.
 
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of ordinary income.
 
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
 
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though a fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds;
  n   Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales charge applied; and
  n   There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Shareholder Account Information
 
In addition to the Fund, Invesco serves as investment adviser to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors (Invesco Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail share classes.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules which differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus.
 
Additional information is available on the Internet at www.invesco.com , then click on the link for Accounts & Services, then Service Center, or consult the Fund’s SAI, which is available on that same Web site or upon request free of charge. The Web site is not part of this prospectus.
 
Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

A-1        The Invesco Funds

MCF—04/10


Table of Contents

 
Class B shares are not available as an investment for retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). These plans include 401(k) plans (including Invesco Solo 401(k) plans), money purchase pension plans and profit sharing plans. However, plans that have existing accounts invested in Class B shares will continue to be allowed to make additional purchases.
 
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
 
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the Invesco Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
 
Class R Shares
Class R shares are generally available only to eligible employee benefit plans. These may include, for example, retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Code; nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401 generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R shares are generally not available for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and SIMPLE IRAs.
 
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
 
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are generally available to investors who purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or to any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In fee-based advisory programs, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
 
Investor Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class shares.  Investor Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
n   Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons). These investors are referred to as “grandfathered investors.”
n   Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had relationships with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who have continuously maintained such relationships. These intermediaries are referred to as “grandfathered intermediaries.”
n   Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is considered a grandfathered investor or the account is opened through a grandfathered intermediary.
n   Any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution fees to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and for services provided to shareholders, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
 
The following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
n   Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
n   All Funds, Class Y shares
Under the applicable distribution plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up to the following amounts with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class:
n   Class A shares: 0.25%
n   Class B shares: 1.00%
n   Class C shares: 1.00%
n   Class R shares: 0.50%
n   Class S shares: 0.15%
n   Investor Class shares: 0.25%
 
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
 
Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are grouped into four categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus will

Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge include the following:
n   Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary or any current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
n   Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account.
n   Certain retirement plans (the “Plan” or “Plans”); provided, however, that such Plans:
  n   a. have assets of at least $1 million; or
  n   b. have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
  n   c. execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
n   Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons).
n   Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance with Section 529 of the Code.
n   Insurance company separate accounts.
 
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following circumstances:
n   When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
n   When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
n   When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
n   As a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
 
Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your “Immediate Family” as described in a Fund’s SAI include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
 
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to Rights of Accumulation or Letters of Intent.
 
Rights of Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C, P, R, S or Y) and investments within Class A shares of the Higher Education Plan for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The transfer agent may automatically link certain accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
 
Letters of Intent
Under a Letter of Intent (LOI), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested.

Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption in the same share class of any Fund in the same Category within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only into Class A shares with no initial sales charge. Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either Class Y shares or Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
 
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
 
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
 
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCS)
 
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
 
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
 
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
 
CDSCs on Class B Shares and on Class C Shares of Funds Other Than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge. However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions outlined below:
 
                 
Year since purchase made:   Class B   Class C
 
First
    5 %     1 %

CDSCs on Class C Shares—Employee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plan’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the plan’s initial purchase.
 
CDSCs on Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC. However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
 
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first and, then, shares in the order of their purchase.
 
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
n   If you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
n   If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
n   If you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
 
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs.
 
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
 
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
n   Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
n   Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
n   Investor Class shares of any Fund.
n   Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
n   Class Y shares of any Fund.
 
CDSCs Upon Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior to conversion.

Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund
Invesco European Small Company Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
Invesco Global Health Care Fund
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco Gold & Precious Metals Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
 
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the redemption fee.
 
Purchasing Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on that institution’s policies.
 
Minimum Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, B, C, Y and Investor Class shares for fund accounts are as follows:

  In addition, Invesco Investment Services, Inc. does not accept cash equivalents for employer sponsored plan accounts. Cash equivalents include cashier’s checks, official checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, treasurer’s checks, postal money orders or money orders. We also reserve the right to reject at our sole discretion payment by Temporary / Starter Checks.
 
Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
 
Systematic Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts. You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time by giving the transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging
Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or similar to Invesco’s Dollar Cost Averaging program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge. Unless you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically be reinvested in the same Fund. If you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount is $10 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the same share class of the Fund unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the same Fund, in which case the check will be reinvested into the Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by the transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
 
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another Fund:
n   Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
n   Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
 
Portfolio Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time on 60 days’ prior written notice to participating investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as or similar to Invesco’s program, exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
 
Redeeming Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call during the hours of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value. For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if

applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that day.
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator).
By Mail   Send a written request to the transfer agent which includes:
   
n  Original signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
   
n  The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
   
n  The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
   
n  Signature guarantees, if necessary (see below).
    The transfer agent may require that you provide additional documentation, or information, such as corporate resolutions or powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
By Telephone   Call the transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
   
n  Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
    You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
Automated Investor Line   Call the Invesco Investment Services, Inc. 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463. You may place your redemption order after you have provided the bank instructions that will be requested.
By Internet   Place your redemption request at www.invesco.com. You will be allowed to redeem by Internet if:
   
n  You do not hold physical share certificates;
   
n  You can provide proper identification information;
   
n  Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
   
n  You have already provided proper bank information.
    Redemptions from most retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the transfer agent.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Expedited Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If we receive your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment on the next business day.
 
Systematic Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a retirement plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days prior notice to the transfer agent.
 
Check Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
n   Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
n   Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
n   Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
 
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
 
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
 
Signature Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
n   When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per Fund.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
n   When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
 
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have
 
A-7        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
 
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:

Please consult your financial adviser to discuss the tax implications, if any, of all exchanges into Class Y shares of the same Fund.
 
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
n   Investor Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
n   Exchanges into Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (also known as the Category III Funds) are not permitted.
n   Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class B, C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
n   Invesco Cash Reserve shares, Class A shares, Class A2 shares, Class C shares or Investor Class shares of one Fund can not be exchanged for Class Y shares of a different Fund.
n   All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds); provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs Applicable to Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, we will begin the holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
n   Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Money Market Funds.  The Board of Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
n   The money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
n   The money market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost, and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, there are no price arbitrage opportunities.
n   Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market Fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved
 
A-9        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (collectively, the Board). The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund, except for Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business

day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund’s custodian, are not open for business or the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading and any such day will not be considered a business day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio or Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing.
 
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values will be calculated for such Funds.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that day and settled on the next business day.
 
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem shares on each business day, prior to the Funds’ net asset value determination on such business day; however, if your order is received and accepted after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your order generally will be processed on the next business day and settled on the second business day following the receipt and acceptance of your order.
 
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day, prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange their shares after the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though these Funds remain open after such closing time.
 
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of
 
A-11        The Invesco Funds


Table of Contents

dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.

 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403, 408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediary. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

  The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Institutional Class shares to 0.55% of average daily net assets. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2011.
 
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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Institutional Class

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities.
 
The principal type of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are corporate bonds of varying maturities, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements (including, credit default swaps). The Fund engages in dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s return on cash.
 
The Fund will normally invest in a portfolio of investment grade securities generally represented by the sector categories within the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the benchmark index). The Fund considers securities to be of investment grade quality if they are rated within the four highest ratings for long-term debt obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the Fund’s portfolio managers deem the securities to be of comparable quality. The Fund will attempt to maintain (i) a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of between three and ten years, and (ii) a duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of within +/- 1.5 years of the benchmark index.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the fund relative to that benchmark. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a team of independent specialists in positioning the fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a different team of specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. The portfolio managers rely on the specialists for adjusting the fund’s risk exposures and security selection. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less

Table of Contents

regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of mid-capitalization issuers.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a mid-capitalization issuer if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized issuers included in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. As of February 28, 2010, the capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index range from $239 million to $17.4 billion.
 
The portfolio managers actively manage the Fund using a two-step security selection process that combines quantitative and fundamental analyses. The quantitative analysis ranks securities based primarily on: (1) fundamentals, (2) valuation, and (3) timeliness. The fundamental analysis identifies both industries and mid-capitalization issuers that, in the portfolio managers’ view, have high growth potential and are also favorably priced relative to the growth expectations for that issuer.
 
The portfolio managers base their selection of securities on an analysis of individual issuers. The investment process employs fundamental research, including financial statement analysis and management visits to identify securities of issuers believed to have large potential markets, cash-generating business models, improving balance sheets and solid management teams; and a variety of valuation techniques to determine target buy and sell prices as well as a security’s valuation upside and downside potential.
 
The resulting portfolio contains consistent growth issuers and earnings-acceleration issuers.
 
The portfolio managers consider selling or reducing the Fund’s holdings in a security if: (1) it no longer meets the investment criteria; (2) an issuer’s fundamentals deteriorate; (3) a security’s price reaches its valuation target; (4) an issuer is no longer considered a mid-capitalization issuer; and/or (5) a more attractive investment option is identified.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Growth Investing Risk . Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk . Stocks of small and mid sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities but may also invest in debt securities including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
 
In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may also invest in the following other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments: derivatives, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and American Depositary Receipts. These derivatives and other instruments may have the effect of leveraging the Fund’s portfolio.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These companies include (i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
 
The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of companies unrelated to the real estate industry that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued and have potential for growth of capital. The Fund limits its investments in debt securities unrelated to the real estate industry to those that are investment-grade or deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.
 
The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
 
The Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when the fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns (short sales against the box) or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns (short sales against the box). The Fund will not sell a security short, if as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s net assets.
 
The portfolio managers use a fundamentals-driven investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as real property market cycle analysis, real property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions, and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives. The portfolio managers and investment team focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers. Some of the fundamental factors that are evaluated in screening potential investments for the Fund include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property locations, physical attributes and cash flow generating capacity of an issuer’s properties and calculating relative return potential, asset quality, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing and fixed charge coverage ratios. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental attributes are then screened according to pricing factors that allow the management team to assess security valuations relative to one another and relative to the investment teams’ assessment of underlying asset value. The portfolio managers also consider the relative liquidity of each security in the construction of the Fund. The portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index (the benchmark index). The Fund seeks to limit risk through various controls such as diversifying the portfolio property types and geographic areas as well as by limiting the size of any one holding. Various factors may lead to overweighting or underweighting of particular property types and/or geographic areas from time to time.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude (1) its relative valuation falls below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile change significantly, (3) its fundamentals change, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Concentration Risk . To the extent, the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Foreign Securities Risk .

The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall.

  The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Institutional Class shares to 0.74% of average daily net assets. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2011.
 
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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
 
                                     
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years    
 
Institutional Class
  $       $       $       $        
 
Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality.
 
The Fund considers debt securities to be below investment grade quality if they are rated BB/Ba or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or are determined by the portfolio managers to be of comparable quality to such rated securities. These types of securities are commonly known as “junk bonds.” The Fund will principally invest in junk bonds rated B or above by an NRSRO or deemed to be of comparable quality by the portfolio managers.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in developing markets.
 
In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on junk bonds that they believe have favorable prospects for high current income and the possibility of growth of capital. Before purchasing securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers conduct a bottom-up fundamental analysis of an issuer that involves an evaluation by a team of credit analysts of an issuer’s financial condition. The fundamental analysis is supplemented by (i) an ongoing review of the securities’ relative value compared with other junk bonds, and (ii) a top-down analysis of sector and macro-economic trends.
 
The portfolio managers attempt to control the Fund’s risk by (i) limiting the portfolio’s assets that are invested in any one security, and (ii) diversifying the portfolio’s holdings over a number of different industries. The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if (1) there appears to be deterioration in a security’s risk profile, or (2) they determine that other securities offer better value.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Developing Markets Securities Risk . Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments and lack of timely information than those in developed countries.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not

During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests primarily in fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated corporate bonds. The Fund may also invest a significant portion of its assets in derivative instruments such as options, futures (including currency futures), forward currency contracts, and swap agreements (including interest rate, currency, total return and credit default swaps). The Fund may engage in these transactions for hedging or non-hedging purposes. The Fund may also invest in domestic and foreign government obligations, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, money market securities and convertible corporate debt.
 
The Fund may invest up to 40% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in developing markets.
 
The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in non-investment grade debt securities commonly known as “junk bonds” and unrated debt securities deemed by the portfolio managers to be of comparable credit quality standards, but currently does not intend to invest more than 10% of its total assets in such securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a team of independent specialists in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a different team of specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. The portfolio managers rely on the specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
 
Developing Markets Securities Risk . Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments and lack of timely information than those in developed countries.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility.

Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including bills, notes and bonds. The Fund invests principally in short-term U.S. Treasury notes with remaining maturities of five years or less at the time of purchase.
 
The Fund intends to maintain an average weighted maturity of three years or less.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a team of independent specialists in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a different team of specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. The portfolio managers rely on the specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests only in the following high-quality U.S. dollar-denominated short-term debt obligations: (i) securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies; (ii) bankers’ acceptances, certificates of deposit, and time deposits from U.S. or foreign banks; (iii) repurchase agreements; (iv) commercial paper; (v) taxable municipal securities; (vi) master notes; and (vii) cash equivalents. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the financial services industry.
 
The Fund seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. The Fund invests in accordance with industry standard requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity and diversification of investments.
 
The Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign securities. The Fund will limit investments to those which are First Tier Securities at the time of acquisition.
 
In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on securities that offer safety, liquidity, and a competitive yield. The
 
12        Invesco Investment Securities Funds


Table of Contents

portfolio managers conduct a credit analysis of each potential issuer prior to the purchase of its securities.
 
The portfolio managers normally hold portfolio securities to maturity. The portfolio managers consider selling a security: (i) if the issuer’s credit quality declines, (ii) as a result of interest rate changes, or (iii) to enhance yield.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
Industry Focus Risk . To the extent a Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries, theFund’s performance will depend on the overall condition of those industries, which may be affected by the following factors: the supply of short-term financing; changes in government regulation and interest rates; and overall economy.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Money Market Fund Risk . The Fund is a money market fund and an investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of investments at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Additionally, the Fund’s yield will vary as the short-term securities in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested in other securities.
 
Municipal Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in municipal securities. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and theFund’s ability to sell it. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value.
 
Repurchase Agreement Risk . If the seller of a repurchase agreement in which the Fund invests defaults on its obligation or declares bankruptcy, the Fund may experience delays in selling the securities underlying the repurchase agreement resulting in losses.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund invests primarily in equity securities.
 
In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may also invest in the following other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments: derivatives, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and American Depositary Receipts. These derivatives and other instruments may have the effect of leveraging the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund may also invest in debt securities including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These issuers include (i) REITs or other real estate operating issuers that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
 
The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of issuers unrelated to the real estate industry that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued and have potential for growth of capital. The Fund limits its investments in debt securities unrelated to the real estate industry to those that are investment-grade or deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.
 
The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
 
The Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when the Fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns (short sales against the box) or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns (short sales against the box). The Fund will not sell a security short, if as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets.
 
When constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals driven investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as real property market cycle analysis, real property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions, and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
 
14        Invesco Investment Securities Funds


Table of Contents

 
The portfolio managers and investment team focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers. Some of the fundamental factors that are evaluated in screening potential investments for the Fund include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property locations, physical attributes and cash flow generating capacity of an issuer’s properties and calculating relative return potential, asset quality, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing and fixed charge coverage ratios. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental attributes are then screened according to pricing factors that allow the management team to assess security valuations relative to one another and relative to the investment teams’ assessment of underlying asset value. The portfolio managers also consider the relative liquidity of each security in the construction of the Fund.
 
The portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index (the benchmark index). The Fund seeks to limit risk through various controls, such as diversifying the portfolio property types and geographic areas as well as by limiting the size of any one holding. Various factors may lead to overweighting or underweighting of particular property types and/or geographic areas from time to time.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude (1) its relative valuation falls below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile changes significantly, (3) its fundamentals change, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Concentration Risk . To the extent, the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk . Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to theFund’s holdings.
 
Short Sales Risk . Short sales may cause the Fund to repurchase a security at a higher price, causing a loss. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

  The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Institutional Class shares to 0.41% of average daily net assets. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2011.
 
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 Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was     % of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities.
 
The principal types of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are investment grade quality: corporate bonds of varying maturities, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and preferred stocks. The Fund considers securities to be of investment grade quality if they are rated within the four highest ratings for long-term debt obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
 
(S&P) or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the Fund’s portfolio managers deem the securities to be of comparable credit quality. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements (including credit

default swaps). The Fund engages in dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s return on cash.
 
The Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity and duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of less than three years.
 
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a team of independent specialists in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a different team of specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. The portfolio managers rely on the specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may will be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
 
Leverage Risk . Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
 
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities issued, guaranteed or otherwise backed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. These securities include: (1) U.S. Treasury obligations and (2) obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities and supported by (a) the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, (b) the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, or (c) the credit of the agency or instrumentality. The principal type of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are callable bonds that can be redeemed by the issuer prior to their stated maturity, bullet-maturity debt bonds with a stated maturity date; mortgage- backed securities consisting of interests in underlying mortgages with maturities of up to thirty years, and Treasury and agency holdings. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as treasury futures and options on treasury futures. The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund often uses Treasury futures and dollar rolls transactions to gain exposure to the Treasury and agency MBS markets while deploying Fund assets in other securities.
 
The Fund invests in securities of all maturities, but will maintain a weighted average effective maturity for the portfolio of between three and ten years.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers then decide on risk factors to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. In doing

Investment Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
 
Invesco Core Bond Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities.
 
The principal type of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are corporate bonds of varying maturities, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements (including, credit default swaps). The Fund engages in dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s return on cash.
 
The Fund will normally invest in a portfolio of investment grade securities generally represented by the sector categories within the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the benchmark index). The Fund considers securities to be of investment grade quality if they are rated within the four highest ratings for long-term debt obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the Fund’s portfolio managers deem the securities to be of comparable quality. The Fund will attempt to maintain (i) a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of between three and ten years, and (ii) a duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of within +/- 1.5 years of the benchmark index.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent, specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic Fundamentals, credit-related Fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate, credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult

to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase. Also, in the event the buyer of mortgage-related files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale may be restricted pending a decision whether the Fund is obligated to repurchase mortgage-related securities.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, the Fund may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Conversely, when interest rates rise, prepayments may happen more slowly, causing the security to lengthen in duration. Longer duration securities tend to be more volatile. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.
 
Invesco Dynamics Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of mid-capitalization issuers.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a mid-capitalization issuer if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized issuers included in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. As of February 28, 2010, the capitalization of companies in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index range from $239 million to $17.4 billion. The Russell Mid Cap ® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest issuers with the lowest market capitalization in the Russell 1000 ® Index. The Russell 1000 ® Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of equity securities of the 1,000 largest issuers in the Russell 3000 ® Index, which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. issuers based on total market capitalization. The issuers in the Russell Mid Cap ® Index are considered representative of medium-sized issuers and constitute approximately 25% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 ® Index.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
The portfolio managers actively manage the Fund using a two-step security selection process that combines quantitative and fundamental analyses. The quantitative analysis involves using a securities rating model to rank securities based primarily upon: (1) fundamentals, (2) valuation, and (3) timeliness. The fundamental analysis focuses on identifying both industries and mid-capitalization issuers that, in the portfolio managers’ view, have high growth potential and are also favorably priced relative to the growth expectations for that issuer. The portfolio managers base their selection of securities for the fund on an analysis of individual issuers. The investment process involves:
  n   Applying fundamental research, including financial statement analysis and management visits to identify securities of issuers believed to have large potential markets, cash-generating business models, improving balance sheets and solid management teams; and

  n   Using a variety of valuation techniques to determine target buy and sell prices as well as a security’s valuation upside and downside potential.

 
The resulting portfolio contains two types of issuers: (1) consistent growth issuers and (2) earnings-acceleration issuers. Consistent growth issuers are issuers with a history of strong returns and, in the portfolio managers’ opinion, are industry leaders serving growing, non-cyclical markets whose performance tends to remain constant regardless of economic conditions. Earnings-acceleration issuers are issuers that are driven by near-term catalysts such as new products, improved processes and/or specific economic conditions that may lead to rapid sales and earnings growth.
 
The portfolio managers strive to control the Fund’s volatility and risk by varying individual security position sizes and diversifying fund holdings across sectors. The portfolio managers consider selling or reducing the fund’s holdings in a security if: (1) it no longer meets the investment criteria; (2) an issuer’s fundamentals deteriorate; (3) a security’s price reaches its valuation target; (4) an issuer is no longer considered a mid-capitalization issuer; and/or (5) a more attractive investment option is identified.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Growth Investing Risk . Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk . Stocks of small and mid sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
 
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities but may also invest in debt securities including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
 
In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may also invest in the following other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments: derivatives, exchange-traded funds and American Depositary Receipts. These derivatives and other instruments may have the effect of leveraging the Fund’s portfolio.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These companies include (i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
 
The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of companies unrelated to the real estate industry that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued and have potential for growth of capital. The Fund limits its investments in debt securities unrelated to the real estate industry to those that are investment-grade or deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.
 
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, in issuers located in at least three different countries, including the U.S.
 
The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
 
The Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when the fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns (short sales against the box) or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns (short sales against the box). The Fund will not sell a security short, if as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s net assets.
 
When constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals-driven investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as real property market cycle analysis, real property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions, and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives. The portfolio managers and investment team focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers. Equity REITs generally invest a majority of their assets in income-producing real estate properties in order to generate cash flow from rental income and a gradual asset appreciation. Each potential investment is analyzed using fundamental research and pricing components to identify attractively priced securities that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects. Some of the fundamental factors that are evaluated in screening potential investments for the Fund include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property locations, physical attributes and cash flow generating capacity of an issuer’s properties and calculating relative return potential, asset quality, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing and fixed charge coverage ratios. The market and issuer research available to the investment team helps the portfolio managers in their efforts to identify REITs and real estate issuers operating in the most attractive markets that represent quality properties, solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental attributes are then screened according to pricing factors that allow the management team to assess security valuations relative to one another and relative to

the investment teams’ assessment of underlying asset value. The fundamental research and pricing factors are combined to identify attractively priced securities of issuers that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects. The portfolio managers also consider the relative liquidity of each security in the construction of the Fund. The portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index (the benchmark index). The Fund seeks to limit risk through various controls such as diversifying the portfolio property types and geographic areas as well as by limiting the size of any one holding. Various factors may lead to overweighting or underweighting of particular property types and/or geographic areas from time to time. The Fund uses the benchmark index as a guide in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude (1) its relative valuation falls below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile change significantly, (3) its fundamentals change, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Concentration Risk . To the extent, the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Compared to higher quality debt securities, junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer because they are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The values of junk bonds often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds. Their values can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of economic difficulty when the bonds could be difficult to value or sell at a fair price. Credit ratings on junk bonds do not necessarily reflect their actual market value.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk . Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to theFund’s holdings. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small and mid cap companies, and their shares may be more volatile and less liquid. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management, the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults, the Fund may own real estate directly, which involves the following additional risks: environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
 
Short Sales Risk . If the Fund sells short a security that it does not own and the security increases in value, the Fund will pay a higher price to repurchase the security. The more the Fund pays, the more it will lose on the transaction, which adversely affects its share price. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.
 
Invesco High Yield Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality.
 
The Fund considers debt securities to be below investment grade quality if they are rated BB/Ba or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or are determined by the portfolio managers to be of comparable quality to such rated securities. These types of securities are commonly known as “junk bonds.” The Fund will principally invest in junk bonds rated B or above by an NRSRO or deemed to be of comparable quality by the portfolio managers.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in developing markets.

In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on junk bonds that they believe have favorable prospects for high current income and the possibility of growth of capital. The portfolio managers conduct a bottom-up fundamental analysis of an issuer before its securities are purchased by the Fund. The fundamental analysis involves an evaluation by a team of credit analysts of an issuer’s financial statements in order to assess its financial condition. The credit analysts also assess the ability of an issuer to reduce its leverage (i.e., the amount of borrowed debt).
 
The bottom-up fundamental analysis is supplemented by (i) an ongoing review of the securities’ relative value compared with other junk bonds, and (ii) a top-down analysis of sector and macro-economic trends, such as changes in interest rates.
 
The portfolio managers attempt to control the Fund’s risk by (i) limiting the portfolio’s assets that are invested in any one security, and (ii) diversifying the portfolio’s holdings over a number of different industries. Although the Fund is actively managed, it is reviewed regularly against its benchmark index (the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index) and its peer group index (the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Index) to assess the portfolio’s relative risk and its positioning.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if (1) there appears to be deterioration in a security’s risk profile, or (2) they determine that other securities offer better value.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Developing Markets Securities Risk . The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be impacted by certain factors more than those in countries with mature economies. For example, developing countries may experience higher rates of inflation or sharply devalue their currencies against the U.S. dollar, thereby causing the value of investments issued by the government or companies located in those countries to decline. Other factors include transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, adverse political developments and lack of timely information.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries.

Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
Invesco Income Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests primarily in fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated corporate bonds. The Fund may also invest a significant portion of its assets in derivative instruments such as options, futures (including currency futures), forward currency contracts, and swap agreements (including interest rate, currency, total return and credit default swaps). The Fund may engage in these transactions for hedging or non-hedging

purposes. The Fund may also invest in domestic and foreign government obligations, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, money market securities and convertible corporate debt.
 
The Fund may invest up to 40% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in developing markets.
 
The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in non-investment grade debt securities commonly known as “junk bonds” and unrated debt securities deemed by the portfolio managers to be of comparable credit quality standards, but currently does not intend to invest more than 10% of its total assets in such securities.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index (the benchmark index) in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent, specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus.

Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate, credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Developing Markets Securities Risk . The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be impacted by certain factors more than those in countries with mature economies. For example, developing countries may experience higher rates of inflation or sharply devalue their currencies against the U.S. dollar, thereby causing the value of investments issued by the government or companies located in those countries to decline. Other factors include transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, adverse political developments and lack of timely information.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Compared to higher quality debt securities, junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer because they are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The values of junk bonds often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds. Their values can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of economic difficulty when the bonds could be difficult to value or sell at a fair price. Credit ratings on junk bonds do not necessarily reflect their actual market value.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of

borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including bills, notes and bonds. The Fund invests principally in short-term U.S. Treasury notes with remaining maturities of five years or less at the time of purchase.
 
The Fund intends to maintain an average weighted maturity of three years or less.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as duration and the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent, specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring portfolios are positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Portfolio managers retain discretion for deciding how risk positions are implemented in the Fund. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate, credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the

Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . Because a large percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of securities, a change in the value of these securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
Invesco Money Market Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests only in the following high-quality U.S. dollar-denominated short-term debt obligations: (i) securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies; (ii) bankers’ acceptances, certificates of deposit, and time deposits from U.S. or foreign banks; (iii) repurchase agreements; (iv) commercial paper; (v) taxable municipal securities; (vi) master notes; and (vii) cash equivalents. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the financial services industry.
 
As permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. The Fund invests in accordance with industry standard requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity and diversification of investments. The Fund invests only in U.S. dollar denominated securities maturing within 13 months of the date of purchase, with certain exceptions permitted by applicable regulations, and the Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted portfolio maturity of no more than 90 days. Each investment must be determined to present minimal credit risks by the Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to guidelines approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, and must be an “Eligible Security” as defined under applicable regulations. (“Eligible Securities” generally include securities within the top two rating categories by rating agencies (commonly referred to as “First or Second Tier Securities”), unrated securities determined to be of comparable quality by the investment adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, U.S. Government securities and shares of other registered money market funds).
 
The Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign securities. The Fund will limit investments to those which are First Tier Securities at the time of acquisition.
 
In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on securities that offer safety, liquidity, and a competitive yield. The portfolio managers conduct a credit analysis of each potential issuer prior to the purchase of its securities.
 
The portfolio managers normally hold portfolio securities to maturity. The portfolio managers consider selling a security: (i) if the issuer’s credit quality declines, (ii) as a result of interest rate changes, or (iii) to enhance yield.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions by holding cash, shortening the Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity or investing in other securities that are eligible securities for purchase by money market funds as described in this prospectus and the Fund’s SAI and that are consistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies, in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. It is possible that such investments could affect the Fund’s returns.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
Industry Focus Risk . To the extent aFund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries, theFund’s performance will depend on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Money Market Fund Risk . The Fund is a money market fund and an investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of investments at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Additionally, the Fund’s yield will vary as the short-term securities in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are

reinvested in other securities. The following factors could reduce the Fund’s income and/or share price:
  n   sharply rising or falling interest rates;
  n   risks generally associated with concentrating investments in the banking and financial services industries, such as interest rate risk, credit risk and regulatory developments;
  n   risks generally associated with U.S. dollar-denominated foreign investments, including political and economic upheaval, seizure of nationalization of deposits, and imposition of taxes or other restrictions on the payment of principal and interest; or
  n   the risk that a given portfolio instrument that has been structured as to its credit quality, duration, liquidity, or other features to meet existing industry standards regarding the appropriateness of such instrument for investment by a money market fund.
 
Municipal Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in municipal securities. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and theFund’s ability to sell it. Revenue bonds are generally not backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality. To the extent that a municipal security is not heavily followed by the investment community or such security issue is relatively small, the security may be difficult to value or sell at a desirable price. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which could result in a decline in the security’s value.
 
Repurchase Agreement Risk . If the seller of a repurchase agreement in which the Fund invests defaults on its obligation or declares bankruptcy, the Fund may experience delays in selling the securities underlying the repurchase agreement. As a result, the Fund may incur losses arising from decline in the value of those securities, reduced levels of income and expenses of enforcing its rights.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.
 
Invesco Real Estate Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund invests primarily in equity securities.
 
In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may also invest in the following other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments: derivatives, exchange-traded funds and American Depositary Receipts. These derivatives and other instruments may have the effect of leveraging the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund may also invest in debt securities including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes.
 
The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These issuers include (i) REITs or other real estate operating issuers that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
 
The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of issuers unrelated to the real estate industry that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued and have potential for growth of capital. The Fund limits its investments in debt securities unrelated to the real estate industry to those that are investment-grade or deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.
 
The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
 
The Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when the Fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns (short sales against the box) or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns (short sales against the box). The Fund will not sell a security short, if as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets.
 
When constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals driven investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as real property market cycle analysis, real property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions, and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
 
The portfolio managers and investment team focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers. Equity REITs generally invest a majority of their assets in income-producing real estate properties in order to generate cash flow from rental income and a gradual asset appreciation. Each potential investment is analyzed using fundamental research and pricing components to identify attractively priced securities that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects. Some of the fundamental factors that are evaluated in screening potential investments for the Fund include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property locations, physical attributes and cash flow generating capacity of an issuer’s properties and calculating relative return potential, asset quality, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing and fixed charge coverage ratios. The market and issuer research available to the investment team helps the portfolio managers in their efforts to identify REITs and real estate issuers operating in the most attractive markets that represent quality properties, solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental attributes are then screened according to pricing factors that allow the management team to assess security valuations relative to one another and relative to the investment teams’ assessment of underlying asset value. The fundamental research and pricing factors are combined to identify attractively priced securities of issuers that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects. The portfolio managers also consider the relative liquidity of each security in the construction of the Fund.
 
The portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index (the benchmark index). The Fund seeks to limit risk through various controls, such as diversifying the portfolio property types and geographic areas as well as by limiting the size of any one holding. Various factors may lead to overweighting or underweighting of particular property types and/or geographic areas from time to time.
 
28        Invesco Investment Securities Funds


Table of Contents

 
The Fund uses the benchmark index as a guide in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund.
 
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude (1) its relative valuation falls below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile changes significantly, (3) its fundamentals change, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Concentration Risk . To the extent, the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk . Compared to higher quality debt securities, junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer because they are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The values of junk bonds often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds. Their values can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of economic difficulty when the bonds could be difficult to value or sell at a fair price. Credit ratings on junk bonds do not necessarily reflect their actual market value.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . Because a large percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of securities, a change in the value of these securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk . Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to theFund’s holdings. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small and mid cap companies, and their shares may be more volatile and less liquid. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management, the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults, the Fund may own real estate directly, which involves the following additional risks: environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
 
Short Sales Risk . If the Fund sells short a security that it does not own and the security increases in value, the Fund will pay a higher price to repurchase the security. The more the Fund pays, the more it will lose on the transaction, which adversely affects its share price. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.
 
Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities.
 
The principal types of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are investment grade quality: corporate bonds of varying maturities, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and preferred stocks. The Fund considers securities to be of investment grade quality if they are rated within the four highest ratings for long-term debt obligations by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
 
(S&P) or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the Fund’s portfolio managers deem the securities to be of comparable credit quality. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements (including credit default swaps). The Fund engages in dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s return on cash.
 
The Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity and duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of less than three years.
 
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign securities, which carry foreign credit exposure.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent, specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the

management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Portfolio managers retain discretion for deciding how risk positions are implemented. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus.

Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Credit Risk . The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer’s securities may increase in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate, credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase. Also, in the event the buyer of mortgage-related files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale may be restricted pending a decision whether the Fund is obligated to repurchase mortgage-related securities.
 
Foreign Securities Risk . The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.
 
Limited Number of Holdings Risk . Because a large percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of securities, a change in the value of these securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
 
Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk . The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk . The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, the Fund may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Conversely, when interest rates rise, prepayments may happen more slowly, causing the security to lengthen in duration. Longer duration securities tend to be more volatile. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
 
Reinvestment Risk . Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. If interest rates decline, the underlying bond may rise in value, but the cash flows received from that bond may have to be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored

agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.
 
Invesco U.S. Government Fund
 
Objective and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
 
The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities issued, guaranteed or otherwise backed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. These securities include: (1) U.S. Treasury obligations and (2) obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities and supported by (a) the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, (b) the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, or (c) the credit of the agency or instrumentality. The principal type of fixed income securities purchased by the Fund are callable bonds that can be redeemed by the issuer prior to their stated maturity, bullet-maturity debt bonds with a stated maturity date; mortgage- backed securities consisting of interests in underlying mortgages with maturities of up to thirty years, and Treasury and agency holdings. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments such as treasury futures and options on treasury futures. The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund often uses Treasury futures and dollar rolls transactions to gain exposure to the Treasury and agency MBS markets while deploying Fund assets in other securities.
 
The Fund invests in securities of all maturities, but will maintain a weighted average effective maturity for the portfolio of between three and ten years.
 
The portfolio managers utilize an appropriate benchmark index in structuring the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as duration, the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, U.S. agency exposure, U.S. agency mortgage-backed security (MBS) exposure, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Security (TIPS) to use in managing the Fund relative to that benchmark. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of independent specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund to generate alpha (specific factors affecting the return on investments in excess of the benchmark). The portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists for trade execution and for assistance in determining the most efficient way (in terms of cost-efficiency and selection) to implement those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes. Specialist decision makers employ a bottom-up approach to recommending larger or smaller exposure to specific risk factors. In general specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers rely on these decision makers and market specific specialists for adjusting the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology. Portfolio managers retain discretion for deciding how to implement recommended risk positions. Decisions to purchase or sell securities will typically depend on economic fundamentals, credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand dynamics, market dislocations, and situation-specific opportunities.
 
The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions in cash and other securities that are less risky and inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
 
The Fund’s investments in the types of securities described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in this prospectus. Any percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are applied at the time of purchase.
 
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Derivatives Risk . Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on or is derived from an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index. Derivatives may be used as a substitute for purchasing the underlying asset or as a hedge to reduce exposure to risks. The use of derivatives involves risks similar to, as well as risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. Risks to which derivatives may be subject include market, interest rate, credit, leverage and management risks. They may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. When used for hedging or reducing exposure, the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index. AFund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. In addition, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of income or short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates).
 
Dollar Roll Transactions Risk . Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase. Also, in the event the buyer of mortgage-related files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale may be restricted pending a decision whether the Fund is obligated to repurchase mortgage-related securities.
 
Interest Rate Risk . Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater is its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund’s performance.
 
Leverage Risk . Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Certain other transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage also exists when a Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. Such instruments may include, among others, reverse repurchase agreements, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Except in the case of borrowing, The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund’s liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.

Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk . Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities to be repurchased may decline below the repurchase price, or that the other party may default on its obligation, causing the underlying fund to be delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the underlying fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the underlying fund’s repurchase obligation.
 
U.S. Government Obligations Risk . The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of the issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government.

The REIT, and in turn, a Fund may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of capital. Return-of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
 
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Fund’s investment in U.S. REITs will not generally qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
 
The Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through an investment in a U.S. REIT. If, contrary to expectations, the Fund were to receive excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts, such income would be allocated to Fund shareholders with special tax consequences.
 
The sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which a Fund invests may trigger special tax consequences to the Fund’s foreign shareholders.

Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
 
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year period. The example reflects the following:
  n   You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
  n   Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
  n   The Fund’s current annual expense ratio includes any applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the period committed and includes the estimated indirect expenses of the underlying funds
 
There is no assurance that the annual expense ratio will be the expense ratio for the Fund classes for any of the years shown. This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or lower) from those shown below.

Redeeming Shares
 
     
How to Redeem Shares
 
Through a Financial Adviser or Financial Intermediary   Contact your financial adviser or financial intermediary (including your retirement plan administrator). Redemption proceeds will be sent in accordance with the wire instructions specified in the account application provided to the transfer agent. The transfer agent must receive your financial adviser’s or financial intermediary’s call before the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on days the NYSE is open for business in order to effect the redemption at that day’s closing price.
By Telephone   A person who has been authorized in the account application to effect transactions may make redemptions by telephone. You must call the transfer agent before the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE on days the NYSE is open for business in order to effect the redemption at that day’s closing price.
 
Timing and Method of Payment
We normally will send out redemption proceeds within one business day, and in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption request have been provided to the transfer agent). If your request is not in good order, we may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
If you redeem by telephone, we will transmit the amount of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account.
 
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated via telephone are genuine, and we are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind).
 
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If the Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or other tax ID number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
 
Redemption Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s prospectus to determine whether that Fund imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the following Funds impose redemption fees:
 
         
Invesco China Fund
Invesco Developing Markets Fund
Invesco Floating Rate Fund
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
Invesco Global Equity Fund
Invesco Global Growth Fund
 
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund
Invesco International Allocation Fund
Invesco International Core Equity Fund
 
Invesco International Growth Fund
Invesco International Small Company Fund
Invesco International Total Return Fund
Invesco Japan Fund
Invesco Trimark Fund
 
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The redemption fee is imposed on a first-in, first-out basis which means that you will redeem shares in the order of their purchase.
 
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following circumstances:
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to assess the redemption fees.
n   Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds, qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as underlying investments.
n   Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to an intermediary’s automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or systematic withdrawal plans.
n   Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or post-purchase disability of an account owner.
n   Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
 
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees, irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any of the exceptions set forth above:
n   Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
n   Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan or individual retirement account (IRA) to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan or IRA.
 
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
 
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as employee benefit plans, Funds of Funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
 
If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the names of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
 
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment company qualification for tax purposes.
 
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling redemption transactions.
 
Exchanging Shares
 
You may, under most circumstances, exchange Institutional Class shares in one Fund for Institutional Class shares of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal
 
A-2        The Invesco Funds—Institutional Class


Table of Contents

income tax. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
 
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
 
Exchange Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
n   Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested; and
n   If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
 
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time. The Fund or Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“Invesco Distributors”) will provide you with notice of such modification or termination if it is required to do so by law.
 
Limit on the Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year; provided, however, that the following transactions will not count toward the exchange limitation:
n   Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to apply the exchange limitation.
n   Exchanges of shares held by funds of funds and insurance company separate accounts which use the funds as underlying investments.
n   Exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
n   Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan participant).
n   If you acquire shares in connection with a rollover or transfer of assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan or IRA to the trustee or custodian of a new employee benefit plan or IRA, your first reallocation of those assets will not count toward the exchange limitation.
 
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess of these guidelines on a case-by-case basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best interests of shareholders.
 
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
 
Rights Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agent reserves the right at any time to:
n   Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
n   Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any fund.
n   Suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this Prospectus.
 
Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the adviser believes the change would be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
 
The Invesco Affiliates and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates, collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the Funds:
n   Trade activity monitoring.
n   Trading guidelines.
n   Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
n   The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
 
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund.  The Board of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The Board considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
 
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
n   Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
n   One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such fund.
 
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities in the shareholder’s accounts. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Fund’s policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
 
A-3        The Invesco Funds—Institutional Class


Table of Contents

 
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Trading Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
 
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within 31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited.
 
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Pricing of Shares
 
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value methodologies to Invesco’s Valuation Committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
 
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
 
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
 
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices for the security in its primary market if available, and indications of fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board.
 
Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
 
Senior Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Domestic Exchange Traded Equity Securities.  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Foreign Securities.  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Invesco also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time.
 
Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the fund.
 
Fixed Income Securities.  Government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Prices received from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Invesco Valuation Committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
 
Short-term Securities.  The Funds’ short-term investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity.
 
A-4        The Invesco Funds—Institutional Class


Table of Contents

Invesco High Income Municipal Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund value variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
 
Futures and Options.  Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
 
Swap Agreements.  Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
 
Open-end Funds.  To the extent a Fund invests in other open-end Funds, other than open-end Funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying Fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such other open-end Funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
Each Fund determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for business (a business day), as of the close of the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that day.
 
For financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
 
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Fund, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on the Subsidiary’s books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
 
Timing of Orders
You can purchase, exchange or redeem shares on each business day prior to the close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day. The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
 
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
 
Fund Tax Basics
n   A Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable to you as ordinary income.
n   Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
n   Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
n   If you are an individual and meet certain holding period requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates generally are available (through 2010) for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
n   Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
n   Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from redemptions of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes, an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale.
n   At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as ”buying a dividend.”
n   By law, if you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
n   You will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by the Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions. The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
n   Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
n   If a Fund qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you as a foreign tax credit. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
n   Foreign investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
 
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors that are generally exempt from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401, 403,
 
A-5        The Invesco Funds—Institutional Class


Table of Contents

408, 408A and 457 of the Code, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
 
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
 
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
Invesco Distributors, the distributor or the Funds and an Invesco Affiliate, and other Invesco Affiliates may make cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
 
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing the Fund on the financial intermediary’s Funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.10% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
 
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
 
Invesco Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Funds’ Boards of Trustees (collectively, the Board).
 
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
 
Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address (Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact Invesco Investment Services, Inc. at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. We will begin sending you individual copies for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.

     AIM Investment Securities Fund (Invesco Investment Securities Funds) (the Trust) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company. The Trust was originally organized as a Maryland corporation on November 14, 1988 and Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund was reorganized on October 15, 1993 as a series portfolio of the Trust. Pursuant to another Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund, were reorganized on June 1, 2000 as series portfolios of the Trust. In connection with their reorganization as series portfolios of the Trust, the fiscal year end of each of Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund changed from December 31 to July 31. Pursuant to another Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Invesco Real Estate Fund was reorganized on October 29, 2003 as a series portfolio of the Trust. Invesco Global Real Estate Fund commenced operations as a series of the Trust on April 29, 2005.. Under the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended, (the Trust Agreement), the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board) is authorized to create new series of shares without the necessity of a vote of shareholders of the Trust.
     Prior to April 30, 2010, the Trust was known as AIM Investment Securities Funds and the Funds were known as AIM Core Bond Fund, AIM Dynamics Fund, AIM Global Real Estate Fund, AIM High Yield Fund, AIM High Yield Fund, AIM Income Fund, AIM Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, AIM Money Market Fund, AIM Municipal Bond Fund, AIM Real Estate Fund, AIM Short Term Bond Fund and AIM U.S. Government Fund.
Shares of Beneficial Interest
     Shares of beneficial interest of the Trust are redeemable at their net asset value at the option of the shareholder or at the option of the Trust in certain circumstances, subject in certain circumstances to a contingent deferred sales charge or redemption fee.
     The Trust allocates moneys and other property it receives from the issue or sale of shares of each of its series of shares, and all income, earnings and profits from such issuance and sales, subject only to the rights of creditors, to the appropriate Fund. These assets constitute the underlying assets of each Fund, are segregated on the Trust’s books of account, and are charged with the expenses of such Fund and its respective classes. The Trust allocates any general expenses of the Trust not readily identifiable as belonging to a particular Fund subject to oversight by the Board, primarily on the basis of relative net assets, or other relevant factors.
     Each share of each Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in that Fund with each other share and is entitled to such dividends and distributions out of the income belonging to such Fund as are declared by the Board.
     Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Differing sales charges and expenses will result in differing net asset values and dividends and distributions. Upon any liquidation of the Trust, shareholders of each class are entitled to share pro rata in the net assets belonging to the applicable Fund allocable to such class available for distribution after satisfaction of outstanding liabilities of the Fund allocable to such class.

     The Trust is not required to hold annual or regular meetings of shareholders. Meetings of shareholders of a Fund or class will be held from time to time to consider matters requiring a vote of such shareholders in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, state law or the provisions of the Trust Agreement. It is not expected that shareholder meetings will be held annually.
     Each share of a Fund generally has the same voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights; however, each class of shares of a Fund is subject to different sales loads, conversion features, exchange privileges and class-specific expenses. Only shareholders of a specific class may vote on matters relating to that class’s distribution plan.
     Because Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares , or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares with respect to Invesco Money Market Fund, on or about month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase, the Funds’ Agreement and Declaration of Trust/distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act requires that Class B shareholders must also approve any material increase in distribution fees submitted to Class A shareholders , or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares with respect to Invesco Money Market Fund, of that Fund. A pro rata portion of shares from reinvested dividends and distributions convert along with the Class B shares.
     Except as specifically noted above, shareholders of each Fund are entitled to one vote per share (with proportionate voting for fractional shares), irrespective of the relative net asset value of the shares of a Fund. However, on matters affecting an individual Fund or class of shares, a separate vote of shareholders of that Fund or class is required. Shareholders of a Fund or class are not entitled to vote on any matter which does not affect that Fund or class but that requires a separate vote of another Fund or class. An example of a matter that would be voted on separately by shareholders of each Fund is the approval of the advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco). When issued, shares of each Fund are fully paid and nonassessable, have no preemptive or subscription rights, and are freely transferable. Other than the automatic conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, there are no conversion rights. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that when shareholders elect trustees, holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of trustees can elect all of the trustees of the Trust, and the holders of fewer than 50% of the shares voting for the election of trustees will not be able to elect any trustees.
     Under Delaware law, shareholders of a Delaware statutory trust shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to shareholders of private for-profit corporations organized under Delaware law. There is a remote possibility, however, that shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held liable for the obligations of the Trust to the extent the courts of another state, which does not recognize such limited liability, were to apply the laws of such state to a controversy involving such obligations. The Trust Agreement disclaims shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation or instrument entered into or executed by the Trust or the trustees to all parties, and each party thereto must expressly waive all rights of action directly against shareholders of the Trust. The Trust Agreement provides for indemnification out of the property of a Fund for all losses and expenses of any shareholder of such Fund held liable on account of being or having been a shareholder. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss due to shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a Fund is unable to meet its obligations and the complaining party is not held to be bound by the disclaimer.
     The trustees and officers of the Trust will not be liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust or any trustee or officer; however, a trustee or officer is not protected against any liability to the Trust or to the shareholders to which a trustee or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties

involved in the conduct of his or her office with the Trust (Disabling Conduct). The Trust’s Bylaws generally provide for indemnification by the Trust of the trustees, officers and employees or agents of the Trust, provided that such persons have not engaged in Disabling Conduct. Indemnification does not extend to judgments or amounts paid in settlement in any actions by or in the right of the Trust. The Trust Agreement also authorizes the purchase of liability insurance on behalf of trustees and officers. The Trust’s Bylaws provide for the advancement of payments of expenses to current and former trustees, officers and employees or agents of the Trust, or anyone serving at their request, in connection with the preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim, action, suit or proceeding, for which such person would be entitled to indemnification; provided that any advancement of expenses would be reimbursed unless it is ultimately determined that such person is entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
      Share Certificates . Shareholders of the Funds do not have the right to demand or require the Trust to issue share certificates and share certificates are not issued.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS AND THEIR INVESTMENTS AND RISKS
Classification
The Trust is an open-end management investment company. Each of the Funds is “diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act.
Investment Strategies and Risks
     Set forth below are detailed descriptions of the various types of securities and investment techniques that Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers (as defined herein) may use in managing the Funds, as well as the risks associated with those types of securities and investment techniques. The descriptions of the types of securities and investment techniques below supplement the discussion of principal investment strategies and risks contained in each Fund’s Prospectus. Where a particular type of security or investment technique is not discussed in a Fund’s Prospectus, that security or investment technique is not a principal investment strategy.
     Unless otherwise indicated, a Fund may invest in all of the following types of investments. Not all of the Funds invest in all of the types of securities or use all of the investment techniques described below, and a Fund might not invest in all of these types of securities or use all of these techniques at any one time. Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers may invest in other types of securities and may use other investment techniques in managing the Funds, including those described below for Funds not specifically mentioned as investing in the security or using the investment technique, as well as securities and techniques not described. A Fund’s transactions in a particular type of security or use of a particular technique is subject to limitations imposed by a Fund’s investment objective(s), policies and restrictions described in that Fund’s Prospectus and/or this Statement of Additional Information, as well as the federal securities laws.
     The Funds’ investment objectives, policies, strategies and practices described below are non-fundamental and may be changed without approval of the holders of the Funds’ voting securities unless otherwise indicated.
Equity Investments

Table of Contents

      Common Stock. Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest in common stock. Common stock is issued by a company principally to raise cash for business purposes and represents an equity or ownership interest in the issuing company. Common stockholders are typically entitled to vote on important matters of the issuing company, including the selection of directors, and may receive dividends on their holdings. A Fund participates in the success or failure of any company in which it holds common stock. In the event a company is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of bondholders, other debt holders, owners of preferred stock and general creditors take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.
          The prices of common stocks change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuing company, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.
      Preferred Stock. Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund may invest in preferred stock. Preferred stock, unlike common stock, often offers a specified dividend rate payable from a company’s earnings. Preferred stock also generally has a preference over common stock on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event the company is liquidated or declares bankruptcy; however, the rights of preferred stockholders on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event of a liquidation or bankruptcy are generally subordinate to the rights of the company’s debt holders and general creditors. If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline.
     Invesco High Yield Fund will not acquire equity securities (common or preferred stock), other than preferred stocks, except when (a) attached to or included in a unit with income-generating securities that otherwise would be attractive to the Fund; (b) acquired through the exercise of equity features accompanying convertible securities held by the Fund, such as conversion or exchange privileges or warrants for the acquisition of stock or equity interests of the same or a different issuer; or (c) in the case of an exchange offer whereby the equity security would be acquired with the intention of exchanging it for a debt security issued on a “when-issued” basis.
     Some fixed rate preferred stock may have mandatory sinking fund provisions which provide for the stock to be retired or redeemed on a predetermined schedule, as well as call/redemption provisions prior to maturity, which can limit the benefit of any decline in interest rates that might positively affect the price of preferred stocks. Preferred stock dividends may be “cumulative,” requiring all or a portion of prior unpaid dividends to be paid before dividends are paid on the issuer’s common stock. Preferred stock may be “participating,” which means that it may be entitled to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases. In some cases an issuer may offer auction rate preferred stock, which means that the interest to be paid is set by auction and will often be reset at stated intervals.
     Convertible Securities. Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund may invest in convertible securities. Convertible securities are generally bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities or investments that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio or predetermined price (the conversion price). A convertible security is designed to provide current income and also the potential for capital appreciation through the conversion feature, which enables the holder to benefit from increases in the market price of the underlying common stock. A convertible security may be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a

4


Table of Contents

particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a Fund is called for redemption or conversion, the Fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. Convertible securities have general characteristics similar to both debt and equity securities.
     A convertible security generally entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible securities have characteristics similar to non-convertible debt obligations and are designed to provide for a stable stream of income with generally higher yields than common stocks. However, there can be no assurance of current income because the issuers of the convertible securities may default on their obligations. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and, therefore, generally entail less risk than the corporation’s common stock. Convertible securities are subordinate in rank to any senior debt obligations of the issuer, and, therefore, an issuer’s convertible securities entail more risk than its debt obligations. Moreover, convertible securities are often rated below investment grade or not rated because they fall below debt obligations and just above common stock in order of preference or priority on an issuer’s balance sheet. To the extent that a Fund invests in convertible securities with credit ratings below investment grade, such securities may have a higher likelihood of default, although this may be somewhat offset by the convertibility feature.
     Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible debt securities of similar credit quality because of the potential for capital appreciation. The common stock underlying convertible securities may be issued by a different entity than the issuer of the convertible securities.
     The value of convertible securities is influenced by both the yield of non-convertible securities of comparable issuers and by the value of the underlying common stock. The value of a convertible security viewed without regard to its conversion feature ( i.e. , strictly on the basis of its yield) is sometimes referred to as its “investment value.” The investment value of the convertible security typically will fluctuate based on the credit quality of the issuer and will fluctuate inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates. However, at the same time, the convertible security will be influenced by its “conversion value,” which is the market value of the underlying common stock that would be obtained if the convertible security were converted. Conversion value fluctuates directly with the price of the underlying common stock, and will therefore be subject to risks relating to the activities of the issuer and general market and economic conditions. Depending upon the relationship of the conversion price to the market value of the underlying security, a convertible security may trade more like an equity security than a debt instrument.
     Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will invest in convertible securities based primarily on the characteristics of the equity security into which it converts, and without regard to the credit rating of the convertible security (even if the credit rating is below investment grade). To the extent that a Fund invests in convertible securities with credit ratings below investment grade, such securities may have a higher likelihood of default, although this may be somewhat offset by the convertibility feature. See also “Debt Investments – Non-Investment Grade Debt Obligations (Junk Bonds)” below.
     If, because of a low price of the common stock, the conversion value is substantially below the investment value of the convertible security, the price of the convertible security is governed principally by its investment value. Generally, if the conversion value of a convertible security increases to a point that approximates or exceeds its investment value, the value of the security will be principally influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security will sell at a

5


Table of Contents

premium over its conversion value to the extent investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding an income-producing security.
     While a Fund uses the same criteria to rate a convertible debt security that it uses to rate a more conventional debt security, a convertible preferred stock is treated like a preferred stock for the Fund’s financial reporting, credit rating and investment limitation purposes.
      Alternative Entity Securities . Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest in alternative entity securities which are the securities of entities that are formed as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, business trusts or other non-corporate entities that are similar to common or preferred stock of corporations.
Foreign Investments
      Foreign Securities . Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest up to 25% of their total assets, Invesco Income Fund may invest up to 40% of its total assets, Invesco Money Market Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in foreign securities; however, Invesco Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund may only invest in foreign securities denominated in U.S. dollars. Invesco Global Real Estate Fund may invest a significant amount of its total assets in foreign securities. Invesco Income Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in foreign securities that are non-U.S. dollar denominated. In addition, Invesco Core Bond Fund may only invest up to 5% of its total assets in foreign securities that are non-U.S. dollar denominated.
     Foreign securities are equity or debt securities issued by issuers outside the U.S., and include securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), or other securities representing underlying securities of foreign issuers (foreign securities). ADRs are receipts, issued by U.S. banks, for the shares of foreign corporations, held by the bank issuing the receipt. ADRs are typically issued in registered form, denominated in U.S. dollars and designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. EDRs are similar to ADRs, except they are typically issued by European banks or trust companies, denominated in foreign currencies and designed for use outside the U.S. securities markets. ADRs and EDRs entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains on the underlying foreign securities, less any fees paid to the bank. Purchasing ADRs or EDRs gives a Fund the ability to purchase the functional equivalent of foreign securities without going to the foreign securities markets to do so. ADRs or EDRs that are “sponsored” means that the foreign corporation whose shares are represented by the ADR or EDR is actively involved in the issuance of the ADR or EDR, and generally provides material information about the corporation to the U.S. market. An “unsponsored” ADR or EDR program means that the foreign corporation whose shares are held by the bank is not obligated to disclose material information in the United States, and, therefore, the market value of the ADR or EDR may not reflect important facts known only to the foreign company.
     Foreign debt securities include corporate debt securities of foreign issuers, certain foreign bank obligations (see Bank Instruments) and U.S. dollar or foreign currency denominated obligations of foreign governments or their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities (see Foreign Government Obligations), international agencies and supranational entities.
     The Funds consider various factors when determining whether a company is in a particular country, including whether (1) it is organized under the laws of a country; (2) it has a principal office in a country; (3) it derives 50% or more of its total revenues from businesses in a

6


Table of Contents

country; and/or (4) its securities are traded principally on a stock exchange, or in an over-the-counter market, in a particular country.
     Investments by a Fund in foreign securities, including ADRs and EDRs, whether denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies, may entail all of the risks set forth below in addition to those accompanying an investment in issuers in the U.S.
      Currency Risk. The value in U.S. Dollars of the Fund’s non-dollar denominated foreign investments will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign security decreases when the value of the U.S. dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and increases when the value of the U.S. dollar falls against such currency.
      Political and Economic Risk. The economies of many of the countries in which the Funds may invest may not be as developed as the United States’ economy and may be subject to significantly different forces. Political, economic or social instability and development, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and limitations on the removal of funds or other assets could also adversely affect the value of the Funds’ investments.
      Regulatory Risk. Foreign companies are generally not subject to the regulatory controls imposed on U.S. issuers and, as a consequence, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Foreign companies may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, corporate governance practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. Therefore, financial information about foreign companies may be incomplete, or may not be comparable to the information available on U.S. companies. Income from foreign securities owned by the Funds may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce dividend income payable to the Funds’ shareholders.
     There is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, dealers, and listed companies in foreign countries than in the U.S., thus increasing the risk of delayed settlements of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates for portfolio securities. Foreign markets may also have different clearance and settlement procedures. If a Fund experiences settlement problems it may result in temporary periods when a portion of the Fund’s assets are uninvested and could cause the Fund to miss attractive investment opportunities or a potential liability to the Fund arising out of the Fund’s inability to fulfill a contract to sell such securities.
      Market Risk. Investing in foreign markets generally involves certain risks not typically associated with investing in the United States. The securities markets in many foreign countries will have substantially less trading volume than the United States markets. As a result, the securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and experience more price volatility than comparable domestic securities. Obtaining and/or enforcing judgments in foreign countries may be more difficult, which may make it more difficult to enforce contractual obligations. Increased custodian costs as well as administrative costs (such as the need to use foreign custodians) may also be associated with the maintenance of assets in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, transaction costs in foreign securities markets are likely to be higher, since brokerage commission rates in foreign countries are likely to be higher than in the United States.
      Risks of Developing Countries. Invesco Core Bond Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund may each invest up to 5% of their total assets, Invesco High Yield Fund and Invesco Income Fund may each invest up to 15% of their total assets, Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets, and Invesco Global Real Estate Fund may invest up to 20% of

7


Table of Contents

its total assets in securities of companies located in developing countries. Developing countries are those countries that are not included in the MSCI World Index.
Investments in developing countries present risks in addition to, or greater than, those presented by investments in foreign issuers generally, and may include the following risks:
  i.   Restriction, to varying degrees, on foreign investment in stocks;
 
  ii.   Repatriation of investment income, capital, and the proceeds of sales in foreign countries may require foreign governmental registration and/or approval;
 
  iii.   Greater risk of fluctuation in value of foreign investments due to changes in currency exchange rates, currency control regulations or currency devaluation;
 
  iv.   Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates may have negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain developing countries;
 
  v.   Many of the developing countries’ securities markets are relatively small or less diverse, have low trading volumes, suffer periods of relative illiquidity, and are characterized by significant price volatility; and
 
  vi.   There is a risk in developing countries that a future economic or political crisis could lead to price controls, forced mergers of companies, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization, or creation of government monopolies.
      Foreign Government Obligations . Each Fund other than Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Municipal Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund may invest in debt securities of foreign governments. Debt securities issued by foreign governments are often, but not always, supported by the full faith and credit of the foreign governments, or their subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities, that issue them. These securities involve the risks discussed above under Foreign Securities. Additionally, the issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control repayment of the debt may be unwilling or unable to pay interest or repay principal when due. Political or economic changes or the balance of trade may affect a country’s willingness or ability to service its debt obligations. Periods of economic uncertainty may result in the volatility of market prices of sovereign debt obligations, especially debt obligations issued by the governments of developing countries. Foreign government obligations of developing countries, and some structures of emerging market debt securities, both of which are generally below investment grade, are sometimes referred to as “Brady Bonds”.
      Foreign Exchange Transactions . Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund have the authority to purchase and sell foreign currency options, foreign currency futures contracts and related options, and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e., for prompt delivery and settlement) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through forward currency contracts (referred to also as forward contracts; see also Forward Currency Contracts). Because forward contracts are privately negotiated transactions, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will honor its obligations.
     The Funds will incur costs in converting assets from one currency to another. Foreign exchange dealers may charge a fee for conversion. In addition, dealers may realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they buy and sell various currencies in the spot and forward markets.
     A Fund will generally engage in these transactions in order to complete a purchase or sale of foreign currency denominated securities The Funds may also use foreign currency options and forward contracts to increase or reduce exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure from one foreign currency to another in a cross currency hedge. Forward contracts are intended to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies; however, at the

8


Table of Contents

same time, they tend to limit any potential gain which might result should the value of such currencies increase. Certain Funds may also engage in foreign exchange transactions, such as forward contracts, for non-hedging purposes to enhance returns. Open positions in forward contracts used for non-hedging purposes will be covered by the segregation of a sufficient amount of liquid assets.
     The Fund may purchase and sell currency futures and purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. The Fund also may purchase and write currency options in connection with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges and have standard contract sizes and delivery dates. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The uses and risks of currency futures are similar to those of futures relating to securities or indices (see also Futures and Options). Currency futures values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of the Fund’s investments.
     Whether or not any hedging strategy will be successful is highly uncertain, and use of hedging strategies may leave a Fund in a less advantageous position than if a hedge had not been established. Moreover, it is impossible to forecast with precision the market value of portfolio securities at the expiration of a foreign currency forward contract. Accordingly, a Fund may be required to buy or sell additional currency on the spot market (and bear the expense of such transaction) if Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’ predictions regarding the movement of foreign currency or securities markets prove inaccurate.
     Certain Funds may hold a portion of their assets in bank deposits denominated in foreign currencies, so as to facilitate investment in foreign securities as well as protect against currency fluctuations and the need to convert such assets into U.S. dollars (thereby also reducing transaction costs). To the extent these monies are converted back into U.S. dollars, the value of the assets so maintained will be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Foreign exchange transactions may involve some of the risks of investments in foreign securities. See “Dividends, Distributions, and Tax Matters – Tax Matters – Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions.”
      Foreign Debt Securities. Foreign debt securities are debt securities that are issued and/or settled outside the United States and may be backed by foreign guarantees. A Fund will limit its investments in foreign debt securities to debt obligations denominated in U.S. dollars. Debt securities issued by a corporation or other issuer domiciled outside the United States that are dollar denominated and traded in the United States are not considered foreign securities. Although denominated in U.S. dollars, Foreign Debt Securities may entail some or all of the risks set forth below.
      Political and Economic Risk. The economies of many of the countries in which the Funds may invest may not be as developed as the United States’ economy and may be subject to significantly different forces. Political or social instability and development, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and limitations on the removal of Funds or other assets could also adversely affect the value of the Funds’ investments.
      Regulatory Risk. Foreign companies may not be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are generally not subject to the regulatory controls and disclosure requirements imposed on United States issuers. Foreign companies may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, corporate governance practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. As a result, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Income from foreign securities owned by the Funds may be reduced

9


Table of Contents

by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce dividend income payable to the Funds’ shareholders.
      Market Risk. The securities markets in many of the countries in which the Funds invest will have substantially less trading volume than the major United States markets. As a result, the securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and experience more price volatility than comparable domestic securities. Increased custodian costs as well as administrative costs (such as the need to use foreign custodians) may be associated with the maintenance of assets in foreign jurisdictions. There is generally less government regulation and supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and issuers which may make it difficult to enforce contractual obligations.
Exchange-Traded Funds
      Exchange-Traded Funds . Each Fund other than Invesco Money Market Fund may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Most ETFs are registered under the 1940 Act as investment companies. Therefore, a Fund’s purchase of shares of an ETF may be subject to the restrictions on investments in other investment companies discussed under “Other Investment Companies.” ETFs have management fees, which increase their cost. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds advised by Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (PowerShares). Invesco, the Sub-Advisers and PowerShares are affiliates of each other as they are all indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd.
     ETFs hold portfolios of securities, commodities and/or currencies that are designed to replicate, as closely as possible before expenses, the price and/or yield of (i) a specified market or other index, (ii) a basket of securities, commodities or currencies, or (iii) a particular commodity or currency. The performance results of ETFs will not replicate exactly the performance of the pertinent index, basket, commodity or currency due to transaction and other expenses, including fees to service providers, borne by ETFs. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the portfolio of securities, commodities and/or currencies purchased by an ETF will replicate a particular index or basket or price of a commodity or currency. ETF shares are sold and redeemed at net asset value only in large blocks called creation units and redemption units, respectively. ETF shares also may be purchased and sold in secondary market trading on national securities exchanges, which allows investors to purchase and sell ETF shares at their market price throughout the day.
     Investments in ETFs generally present the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional mutual fund that has the same investment objective, strategy and policies. Investments in ETFs further involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the commodity or currency, or in the types of securities, commodities and/or currencies included in the indices or baskets the ETFs are designed to replicate. In addition, shares of an ETF may trade at a market price that is higher or lower than their net asset value and an active trading market in such shares may not develop or continue. Moreover, trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action to be appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Debt Investments
      U.S. Government Obligations. Each Fund may invest in U.S. Government obligations, which include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and

10

instrumentalities, including bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, as well as “stripped” or “zero coupon” U.S. Treasury obligations.
     U.S. Government Obligations may be, (i) supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, (ii) supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, (iii) supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations, or (iv) supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. There is a risk that the U.S. Government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. Government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In that case, if the issuer were to default, a Portfolio holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. For example, while the U.S. Government has recently provided financial support to Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will always do so, since the U.S. Government is not so obligated by law. There also is no guarantee that the government would support Federal Home Loan Banks. Accordingly, securities of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Federal Home Loan Banks, and other agencies, may involve a risk of non-payment of principal and interest.
      Temporary Investments . Each Fund except Invesco Money Market Fund may invest a portion of its assets in affiliated money market funds or in the types of money market instruments in which those Funds would invest or other short-term U.S. government securities for cash management purposes. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies for temporary defensive purposes in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, or atypical circumstances such as unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
     Invesco Money Market Fund may experience situations where it is unable to invest money that it has received overnight such as when it receives cash inflows after the overnight repurchase markets have closed. The Funds [Portfolios] are permitted to leave balances in their accounts with the Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), the custodian bank. To compensate the Portfolios for such activity, the Portfolios may receive compensation from BNY Mellon at an agreed upon rate.
Rule 2a-7 Requirements
     As permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, Invesco Money Market Fund seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. Rule 2a-7 imposes requirements as to the diversification of the Fund, quality of portfolio securities and maturity of the Fund and of individual securities.
     Diversification. In summary, Rule 2a-7 requires that a Fund may not invest in the securities of any issuer if, as a result, more than 5% of the Portfolio’s total assets would be invested in that issuer; provided that, a Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the First Tier Securities of a single issuer for up to three business days after acquisition. Certain securities are not subject to this diversification requirement. These include: a security subject to a guarantee from a non-controlled person (as defined in Rule 2a-7) of the issuer of the security; U.S. Government securities; certain repurchase agreements; and shares of certain money market funds. Rule 2a-7 imposes a separate diversification test upon the acquisition of a guarantee or demand feature. (A demand feature is, in summary, a right to sell a security at a price equal to its approximate amortized cost plus accrued interest).

     For purposes of these diversification requirements with respect to issuers of Municipal Securities (defined under the caption Municipal Securities), each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory and possession of the United States, each political subdivision, agency, instrumentality, and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a state is a member is a separate “issuer.” When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality, or other political subdivision are separate from the government creating the subdivision and the security is backed only by assets and revenues of the subdivision, such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of an industrial development bond or private activity bond, if such bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then such non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer.
     In summary, a “First Tier Security” is rated (or issued by an issuer that is rated) in the highest short-term rating category by the “Requisite NRSROs,” or, if unrated, is determined by the Portfolios’ investment adviser (subject to oversight and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board) to be of comparable quality to such a rated security. Securities issued by a registered investment company that is a money market fund and U.S. Government securities are also considered to be “First Tier Securities.” The term “Requisite NRSRO” means (a) any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) designated by the Board that have issued a rating with respect to a security or class of debt obligations of an issuer, or (b) if only one designated NRSRO has issued a rating with respect to such security or issuer at the time a Portfolio acquires the security, that NRSRO.
      Quality . Invesco Money Market Fund may invest only in U.S. dollar denominated securities that the Portfolio’s investment adviser (subject to oversight and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board) determines present minimal credit risk and that are “Eligible Securities” as defined in Rule 2a-7. Rule 2a-7 defines an Eligible Security, in summary, as a security with a remaining maturity of 397 calendar days or less that has been rated (or whose issuer has been rated) by the Requisite NRSROs in one of the two highest short-term rating categories. Eligible Securities may also include unrated securities determined by the Fund’s investment adviser (subject to oversight and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board) to be of comparable quality to such rated securities. The eligibility of a security with a guarantee may be determined based on whether the guarantee is an Eligible Security.
     The Fund will limit investments to those which are First Tier Securities at the time of acquisition.
      Maturity . Under Rule 2a-7, Invesco Money Market Fund may invest only in securities having remaining maturities of 397 days or less and maintains a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less and a dollar weighted average life to maturity of 120 days or less. The maturity of a security is determined in compliance with Rule 2a-7, which for purposes of the dollar weighted average portfolio maturity permits, among other things, certain securities bearing adjustable interest rates to be deemed to have a maturity shorter than their stated maturity.
      Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities . Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund, Invesco Short Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities are mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, or issued by nongovernment entities. Mortgage-related securities represent ownership in pools of mortgage loans assembled for sale to investors by various government agencies such as GNMA and government-related organizations such as FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) , as well as by nongovernment issuers such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, mortgage

bankers and private mortgage insurance companies. Although certain mortgage-related securities are guaranteed by a third party or otherwise similarly secured, the market value of the security, which may fluctuate, is not so secured. These securities differ from conventional bonds in that the principal is paid back to the investor as payments are made on the underlying mortgages in the pool. Accordingly, a Fund receives monthly scheduled payments of principal and interest along with any unscheduled principal prepayments on the underlying mortgages. Because these scheduled and unscheduled principal payments must be reinvested at prevailing interest rates, mortgage-backed securities do not provide an effective means of locking in long-term interest rates for the investor.
     In addition, there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities they issue. Mortgage-related securities issued by GNMA include GNMA Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as Ginnie Maes) which are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest. That guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. GNMA is a corporation wholly owned by the U.S. Government within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mortgage-related securities issued by FNMA include FNMA Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as Fannie Maes) and are guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by FNMA itself and backed by a line of credit with the U.S. Treasury. FNMA is a government-sponsored entity wholly owned by public stockholders. Mortgage-related securities issued by FHLMC include FHLMC Mortgage Participation Certificates (also known as Freddie Macs) guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by FHLMC itself and backed by a line of credit with the U.S. Treasury. FHLMC is a government-sponsored entity wholly owned by public stockholders.
     In September 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) placed FNMA and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) into conservatorship, and FHFA succeeded to all rights, titles, powers and privileges of FNMA and FHLMC. The U.S. Treasury entered into a Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with each of FNMA and FHLMC pursuant to which the U.S. Treasury will purchase up to an aggregate of $200 billion of each of FNMA and FHLMC to maintain a positive net worth in each enterprise; this agreement contains various covenants that severely limit each enterprise’s operation. The U.S. Treasury also announced the creation of a new secured lending facility that is available to FNMA and FHLMC as a liquidity backstop and announced the creation of a temporary program to purchase mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC. FHFA has the power to repudiate any contract entered into by FNMA or FHLMC prior to FHFA’s appointment if FHFA determines that performance of the contract is burdensome and the repudiation of the contract promotes the orderly administration of FNMA’s or FHLMC’s affairs. FHFA has indicated that it has no intention to repudiate the guaranty obligations of FNMA or FHLMC. FHFA also has the right to transfer or sell any asset or liability of FNMA or FHLMC without any approval, assignment or consent, although FHFA has stated that is has no present intention to do so. In addition, holders of mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC may not enforce certain rights related to such securities against FHFA, or the enforcement of such rights may be delayed, during the conservatorship.
     Asset-backed securities are structured like mortgage-backed securities, but instead of mortgage loans or interests in mortgage loans, the underlying assets may include such items as motor vehicle installment sales contracts or installment loan contracts, leases of various types of real and personal property, and receivables from credit card agreements and from sales of personal property. Regular payments received on asset-backed securities include both interest and principal. Asset-backed securities typically have no U.S. Government backing. Additionally, the ability of an issuer of asset-backed securities to enforce its security interest in the underlying assets may be limited.
     If a Fund purchases a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security at a premium, the premium may be lost if there is a decline in the market value of the security whether resulting

from changes in interest rates or prepayments in the underlying collateral. As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of such securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates. Although the value of a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not necessarily true, since in periods of declining interest rates the mortgages and loans underlying the securities are prone to prepayment, thereby shortening the average life of the security and shortening the period of time over which income at the higher rate is received. When interest rates are rising, the rate of prepayment tends to decrease, thereby lengthening the period of time over which income at the lower rate is received. For these and other reasons, a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security’s average maturity may be shortened or lengthened as a result of interest rate fluctuations and, therefore, it is not possible to predict accurately the security’s return. In addition, while the trading market for short-term mortgages and asset-backed securities is ordinarily quite liquid, in times of financial stress the trading market for these securities may become restricted.
      Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs). Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund, Invesco Short-Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund may invest in CMOs. A CMO is a hybrid between a mortgage-backed bond and a mortgage pass-through security. A CMO is a type of mortgage-backed security that creates separate classes with varying maturities and interest rates, called tranches. Similar to a bond, interest and prepaid principal is paid, in most cases, semiannually. CMOs may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans, but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC, or FNMA, and their income streams.
     CMOs are structured into multiple classes, each bearing a different fixed or floating interest rate and stated maturity. Actual maturity and average life will depend upon the prepayment experience of the collateral. CMOs provide for a modified form of call protection through a de facto breakdown of the underlying pool of mortgages according to how quickly the loans are repaid. Monthly payment of principal received from the pool of underlying mortgages, including prepayments, is first returned to investors holding the shortest maturity class. Investors holding the longer maturity classes receive principal only after the first class has been retired. An investor is partially guarded against a sooner than desired return of principal because of the sequential payments.
     In a typical CMO transaction, a corporation (issuer) issues multiple series (e.g., Series A, B, C and Z) of CMO bonds (Bonds). Proceeds of the Bond offering are used to purchase mortgages or mortgage pass-through certificates (Collateral). The Collateral is pledged to a third party trustee as security for the Bonds. Principal and interest payments from the Collateral are used to pay principal on the Bonds in the following order: Series A, B, C and Z. The Series A, B, and C Bonds all bear current interest. Interest on a Series Z Bond is accrued and added to principal and a like amount is paid as principal on the Series A, B, or C Bond currently being paid off. Only after the Series A, B, and C Bonds are paid in full does the Series Z Bond begin to receive payment . With some CMOs, the issuer serves as a conduit to allow loan originators (primarily builders or savings and loan associations) to borrow against their loan portfolios.
     CMOs that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or by any of its agencies or instrumentalities will be considered U.S. Government securities by the Funds, while other CMOs, even if collateralized by U.S. Government securities, will have the same status as other privately issued securities for purposes of applying the Funds’ diversification tests.
     FHLMC CMOs are debt obligations of FHLMC issued in multiple classes having different maturity dates which are secured by the pledge of a pool of conventional mortgage loans purchased by FHLMC. Payments of principal and interest on the FHLMC CMOs are made

14


Table of Contents

semiannually. The amount of principal payable on each semiannual payment date is determined in accordance with FHLMC’s mandatory sinking fund schedule, which, in turn, is equal to approximately 100% of FHA prepayment experience applied to the mortgage collateral pool. All sinking fund payments in the FHLMC CMOs are allocated to the retirement of the individual classes of bonds in the order of their stated maturities. Payment of principal on the mortgage loans in the collateral pool in excess of the amount of FHLMC’s minimum sinking fund obligation for any payment date are paid to the holders of the FHLMC CMOs as additional sinking fund payments. Because of the “pass-through” nature of all principal payments received on the collateral pool in excess of FHLMC’s minimum sinking fund requirement, the rate at which principal of the FHLMC CMOs is actually repaid is likely to be such that each class of bonds will be retired in advance of its scheduled maturity date. If collection of principal (including prepayments) on the mortgage loans during any semiannual payment period is not sufficient to meet FHLMC CMO’s minimum sinking fund obligation on the next sinking fund payment date, FHLMC agrees to make up the deficiency from its general funds.
     Classes of CMOs may also include interest only (IOs) and principal only (POs). IOs and POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages the cash flow from which has been separated into interest and principal components. IOs (interest only securities) receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs (principal only securities) receive the principal portion. IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases the rate at which the investment is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slow, the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced.
     CMOs are generally subject to the same risks as mortgage-backed securities. In addition, CMOs may be subject to credit risk because the issuer or credit enhancer has defaulted on its obligations and a Fund may not receive all or part of its principal. Obligations issued by U.S. Government-related entities are guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The performance of private label mortgage-backed securities, issued by private institutions, is based on the financial health of those institutions. Although GNMA guarantees timely payment of GNMA certificates even if homeowners delay or default, tracking the “pass-through” payments may, at times, be difficult.
      Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) . Each Fund except Invesco Money Market Fund may invest in CDOs. A CDO is a security backed by a pool of bonds, loans and other debt obligations. CDOs are not limited to investing in one type of debt and accordingly, a CDO may own corporate bonds, commercial loans, asset-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and emerging market debt. The CDO’s securities are typically divided into several classes, or bond tranches, that have differing levels of investment grade or credit tolerances. Most CDO issues are structured in a way that enables the senior bond classes and mezzanine classes to receive investment-grade credit ratings. Credit risk is shifted to the most junior class of securities. If any defaults occur in the assets backing a CDO, the senior bond classes are first in line to receive principal and interest payments, followed by the mezzanine classes and finally by the lowest rated (or non-rated) class, which is known as the equity tranche. Similar in structure to a collateralized mortgage obligation (described above) CDOs are unique in that they represent different types of debt and credit risk.
      Credit Linked Notes (CLNs) . Each Fund except Invesco Money Market Fund may invest in CLNs. A CLN is a security with an embedded credit default swap allowing the issuer to transfer a specific credit risk to credit investors.
     CLNs are created through a Special Purpose Company (SPC), or trust, which is collateralized with AAA-rated securities. The CLN’s price or coupon is linked to the performance

15


Table of Contents

of the reference asset of the second party. Generally, the CLN holder receives either fixed or floating coupon rate during the life of the CLN and par at maturity. The cash flows are dependent on specified credit-related events. Should the second party default or declare bankruptcy, the CLN holder will receive an amount equivalent to the recovery rate. In return for these risks, the CLN holder receives a higher yield. The Fund bears the risk of default by the second party and any unforeseen movements in the reference asset, which could lead to loss of principal and receipt of interest payments. As with most derivative instruments, valuation of a CLN may be difficult due to the complexity of the security.
      Bank Instruments . Each Fund may invest in bank instruments. Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing bank deposits. Bank instruments include, but are not limited to, certificates of deposits, time deposits, and banker’s acceptances from U.S. or foreign banks as well as Eurodollar certificates of deposit (Eurodollar CDs) and Eurodollar time deposits (Eurodollar time deposits) of foreign branches of domestic banks. Some certificates of deposit is a negotiable interest-bearing instrument with a specific maturity issued by banks and savings and loan institutions in exchange for the deposit of funds, and can typically be traded in the secondary market prior to maturity. Other certificates of deposit, like time deposits, are non-negotiable receipts issued by a bank in exchange for the deposit of funds which earns a specified rate of interest over a definite period of time; however, it cannot be traded in the secondary market. A bankers’ acceptance is a bill of exchange or time draft drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank.
     An investment in Eurodollar CDs or Eurodollar time deposits may involve some of the same risks that are described for Foreign Securities.
      Commercial Instruments . Each Fund may invest in commercial instruments, including commercial paper, master notes and other short-term corporate instruments, that are denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies.
     Commercial instruments are a type of instrument issued by large banks and corporations to raise money to meet their short term debt obligations, and are only backed by the issuing bank or corporation’s promise to pay the face amount on the maturity date specified on the note. Commercial paper consists of short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial paper may be traded in the secondary market after its issuance. Master notes are demand notes that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts of money at varying rates of interest pursuant to arrangements with issuers who meet the credit quality criteria of the Funds. The interest rate on a master note may fluctuate based on changes in specified interest rates or may be reset periodically according to a prescribed formula or may be a set rate. Although there is no secondary market in master demand notes, if such notes have a demand feature, the payee may demand payment of the principal amount of the note upon relatively short notice. Master notes are generally illiquid and therefore subject to the Funds’ percentage limitations for investments in illiquid securities. Commercial instruments may not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
      Municipal Securities . Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund may invest in “Municipal Securities,” which include debt obligations of states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, schools, streets and water and sewer works. Other public purposes for which Municipal Securities may be issued include the refunding of outstanding obligations, obtaining

16


Table of Contents

funds for general operating expenses and lending such funds to other public institutions and facilities.
     The principal and interest payments for industrial development bonds or pollution control bonds are often the sole responsibility of the industrial user and therefore may not be backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality. The interest paid on such bonds may be exempt from federal income tax, although current federal tax laws place substantial limitations on the purposes and size of such issues. Such obligations are considered to be Municipal Securities provided that the interest paid thereon, in the opinion of bond counsel, qualifies as exempt from federal income tax. However, interest on Municipal Securities may give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) liability and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences. There is a risk that some or all of the interest received by the Fund from tax-exempt Municipal Securities might become taxable as a result of tax law changes or determinations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). See “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters — Tax Matters.”
     The two major classifications of Municipal Securities are bonds and notes. Bonds may be further classified as “general obligation” or “revenue” issues. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, and in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power. Tax-exempt industrial development bonds are in most cases revenue bonds and do not generally carry the pledge of the credit of the issuing municipality. Notes are short-term instruments which usually mature in less than two years. Most notes are general obligations of the issuing municipalities or agencies and are sold in anticipation of a bond sale, collection of taxes or receipt of other revenues.
     Municipal Securities also include the following securities:
    Bond Anticipation Notes usually are general obligations of state and local governmental issuers which are sold to obtain interim financing for projects that will eventually be funded through the sale of long-term debt obligations or bonds.
 
    Tax Anticipation Notes are issued by state and local governments to finance the current operations of such governments. Repayment is generally to be derived from specific future tax revenues. Tax anticipation notes are usually general obligations of the issuer.
 
    Revenue Anticipation Notes are issued by governments or governmental bodies with the expectation that future revenues from a designated source will be used to repay the notes. In general, they also constitute general obligations of the issuer.
 
    Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper (Municipal Paper) is similar to taxable commercial paper, except that tax-exempt commercial paper is issued by states, municipalities and their agencies.
     A Fund also may purchase participation interests or custodial receipts from financial institutions. These participation interests give the purchaser an undivided interest in one or more underlying Municipal Securities.
     After purchase by a Fund, an issue of Municipal Securities may cease to be rated by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P), or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the rating of such a

17


Table of Contents

security may be reduced below the minimum credit quality rating required for purchase by the Fund. Neither event would require the Fund to dispose of the security. To the extent that the ratings applied by Moody’s, S&P or another NRSRO to Municipal Securities may change as a result of changes in these rating systems, the Fund will attempt to use comparable credit quality ratings as standards for its investments in Municipal Securities.
     Since the Fund invests in Municipal Securities backed by insurance companies and other financial institutions, changes in the financial condition of these institutions could cause losses to the Fund and affect its share price.
     The Fund may invest in Municipal Securities that are insured by financial insurance companies. Since a limited number of entities provide such insurance, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in securities insured by the same insurance company.
     The Fund may also invest in taxable municipal securities. Taxable municipal securities are debt securities issued by or on behalf of states and their political subdivisions, the District of Columbia, and possessions of the United States, the interest on which is not exempt from federal income tax.
     The yields on Municipal Securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including general economic and monetary conditions, money market factors, conditions of the Municipal Securities market, size of a particular offering, and maturity and rating of the obligation. Because many Municipal Securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those related to education, health care, transportation and various utilities, conditions in those sectors and the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer can affect the overall municipal market. The market values of the Municipal Securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in the yields available on similar securities. If yields increase following the purchase of a Municipal Security, the market value of such Municipal Security will generally decrease. Conversely, if yields decrease, the market value of a Municipal Security will generally increase.
      Municipal Lease Obligations. Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest in municipal lease obligations by purchasing such obligations directly or through participation interests.
     Municipal lease obligations, a type of Municipal Security, may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase contract or a conditional sales contract. Municipal lease obligations are issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire land, equipment and facilities such as state and municipal vehicles, telecommunications and computer equipment, and other capital assets. Interest payments on qualifying municipal lease obligations are generally exempt from federal income taxes.
     Municipal lease obligations are generally subject to greater risks than general obligation or revenue bonds. State laws set forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet in order to issue municipal obligations, and such obligations may contain a covenant by the issuer to budget for, appropriate, and make payments due under the obligation. However, certain municipal lease obligations may contain “non-appropriation” clauses which provide that the issuer is not obligated to make payments on the obligation in future years unless funds have been appropriated for this purpose each year. If not enough money is appropriated to make the lease payments, the leased property may be repossessed as security for holders of the municipal lease obligation. In such an event, there is no assurance that the property’s private sector or re-leasing value will be enough to make all outstanding payments on the municipal lease obligation or that the payments will continue to be tax-free. Additionally, it may be difficult to dispose of the underlying capital asset in the event of non-appropriation or other default. Direct investments by the Fund in municipal lease obligations may be deemed illiquid and therefore subject to the

Funds’ percentage limitations for investments in illiquid securities and the risks of holding illiquid securities.
      Bank Instruments. Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund may invest in certificates of deposits, time deposits, and bankers’ acceptances from U.S. or foreign banks. A bankers’ acceptance is a bill of exchange or time draft drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank. A certificate of deposit is a negotiable interest-bearing instrument with a specific maturity. Certificates of deposit are issued by banks and savings and loan institutions in exchange for the deposit of funds, and normally can be traded in the secondary market prior to maturity. A time deposit is a non-negotiable receipt issued by a bank in exchange for the deposit of funds. Like a certificate of deposit, it earns a specified rate of interest over a definite period of time; however, it cannot be traded in the secondary market.
     Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest in certificates of deposit (“Eurodollar CDs”) and time deposits (“Eurodollar time deposits”) of foreign branches of domestic banks. Accordingly, an investment in a Fund may involve risks that are different in some respects from those incurred by an investment company which invests only in debt obligations of U.S. domestic issuers. Such risks include future political and economic developments, the possible seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits and the possible imposition of foreign country withholding taxes on interest income.
      Commercial Instruments. Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest in commercial instruments, including commercial paper, master notes and other short-term corporate instruments, that are denominated in U.S. dollars . Commercial paper consists of short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial paper may be traded in the secondary market after its issuance. Master notes are demand notes that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts of money at varying rates of interest pursuant to arrangements with issuers who meet the quality criteria of a Fund. The interest rate on a master note may fluctuate based upon changes in specified interest rates or be reset periodically according to a prescribed formula or may be a set rate. Although there is no secondary market in master demand notes, if such notes have a demand feature, the payee may demand payment of the principal amount of the note upon relatively short notice. Master notes are generally illiquid and therefore typically subject to a Fund’s percentage limitations for investments in illiquid securities.
      Investment Grade Debt Obligations. Each Fund other than Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. corporations or U.S. commercial banks, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign issuers and debt obligations of foreign issuers denominated in foreign currencies. Debt obligations include, among others, bonds, notes, debentures and variable rate demand notes.
     These obligations must meet minimum ratings criteria set forth for the Fund or, if unrated, be of comparable quality. Bonds rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service and/or BBB or higher by Standard & Poors or Fitch Ratings, Ltd are typically considered investment grade debt obligations. The description of debt securities ratings may be found in Appendix A.
     In choosing corporate debt securities on behalf of a Fund, portfolio managers may consider:
  (i)   general economic and financial conditions;
 
  (ii)   the specific issuer’s (a) business and management, (b) cash flow, (c) earnings coverage of interest and dividends, (d) ability to operate under adverse economic conditions, (e) fair market value of assets, and (f) in the case of

19


Table of Contents

      foreign issuers, unique political, economic or social conditions applicable to such issuer’s country; and,
 
  (iii)   other considerations deemed appropriate.
     Debt securities are subject to a variety of risks, such as interest rate risk, income risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk, credit risk, currency risk and default risk.
      Non-Investment Grade Debt Obligations (Junk Bonds). Invesco High Yield Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in lower-rated or non-rated debt securities commonly known as junk bonds. Invesco Income Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets, and Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest up to 10% of their total assets in junk bonds. Invesco Dynamics Fund may invest in junk bonds.
     Bonds rated Ba or below by Moody’s Investors Service and/or BB or below by Standard & Poors or Fitch Ratings, Ltd are typically considered non- investment grade or “junk bonds.” Analysis of the creditworthiness of junk bond issuers is more complex than that of investment-grade issuers and the success of the Fund’s adviser in managing these decisions is more dependent upon its own credit analysis than is the case with investment-grade bonds. Description of debt securities ratings are found in Appendix A.
     The capacity of junk bonds to pay interest and repay principal is considered speculative. While junk bonds may provide an opportunity for greater income and gains, they are subject to greater risks than higher-rated debt securities. The prices of and yields on junk bonds may fluctuate to a greater extent than those of higher-rated debt securities. Junk bonds are generally more sensitive to individual issuer developments, economic conditions and regulatory changes than higher-rated bonds. Issuers of junk bonds are often issued by smaller, less-seasoned companies or companies that are highly leveraged with more traditional methods of financing unavailable to them. Junk bonds are generally at a higher risk of default because such issues are often unsecured or otherwise subordinated to claims of the issuer’s other creditors. If a junk bond issuer defaults, a Fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. The secondary markets in which junk bonds are traded may be thin and less liquid than the market for higher-rated debt securities and a Fund may have difficulty selling certain junk bonds at the desired time and price. Less liquidity in secondary trading markets could adversely affect the price at which a Fund could sell a particular junk bond, and could cause large fluctuations in the net asset value of that Fund’s shares. The lack of a liquid secondary market may also make it more difficult for a Fund to obtain accurate market quotations in valuing junk bond assets and elements of judgment may play a greater role in the valuation.
      Loans, Loan Participations and Assignments. Invesco High Yield Fund and Invesco Income Fund may invest, subject to an overall 15% limit on loans, in loan participations or assignments.
     Loans and loan participations are interests are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental or other borrowers to another party. They may represent amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates, to suppliers of goods or services, or to other parties. The Fund will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Fund may not directly benefit from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Fund will be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling a participation, a Fund may be treated as a

20


Table of Contents

general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.
     When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. However, because assignments are arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, the rights and obligations acquired by a Fund as the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning lender. In addition, if the loan is foreclosed, the Fund could be part owner of any collateral and could bear the costs and liabilities of owning and disposing of the collateral.
     Investments in loans, loan participations and assignments present the possibility that the Fund could be held liable as a co-lender under emerging legal theories of lender liability. The Fund anticipates that loans, loan participations and assignments could be sold only to a limited number of institutional investors. If there is no active secondary market for a loan, it may be more difficult to sell the interests in such a loan ay a price that is acceptable or to even obtain pricing information. In addition, some loans, loan participations and assignments may not be rated by major rating agencies and may not be protected by the securities laws.
      Structured Notes and Indexed Securities. Each Fund may invest in structured notes or other indexed securities.
     Structured notes are derivative debt instruments, the interest rate or principal of which is linked to currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (reference instruments). Indexed securities may include structured notes and other securities wherein the interest rate or principal are determined by a reference instrument.
     Most structured notes and indexed securities are fixed income securities that have maturities of three years or less. The interest rate or the principal amount payable at maturity of an indexed security may vary based on changes in one or more specified reference instruments, such as a floating interest rate compared with a fixed interest rate. The reference instrument need not be related to the terms of the indexed security. Structured notes and indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e., their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates), and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument or to one or more options on the underlying reference instrument.
Structured notes and indexed securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instrument. Structured notes or indexed securities also may be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities and instruments or more traditional debt securities. In addition to the credit risk of the structured note or indexed security’s issuer and the normal risks of price changes in response to changes in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments. Further, in the case of certain structured notes or indexed securities in which the interest rate, or exchange rate in the case of currency, is linked to a referenced instrument, the rate may be increased or decreased or the terms may provide that, under certain circumstances, the principal amount payable on maturity may be reduced to zero resulting in a loss to the Fund.
Other Investments
      Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Short Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund may invest up to 15% of their total assets in equity and/or debt

21


Table of Contents

securities and convertible debt securities issued by REITs. Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest all of their total assets in equity (common stock, preferred stock, convertible securities), debt securities and/or convertible debt securities issued by REITs. Invesco Dynamics Fund may invest in equity and/or debt securities issued by REITs. REITs are trusts that sell equity or debt securities to investors and use the proceeds to invest in real estate or interests therein. A REIT may focus on particular projects, such as apartment complexes, or geographic regions, such as the southeastern United States, or both.
     REITs are trusts that sell equity or debt securities to investors and use the proceeds to invest in real estate or interests therein. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling property that has appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive income from the collection of interest payments.
     Investments in REITS may be subject to many of the same risks as direct investments in real estate. These risks include difficulties in valuing and trading real estate, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, adverse changes in the climate for real estate, environmental liability risks, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values, the appeal of properties to tenants, heavy cash flow dependency and increases in interest rates. To the extent that a Fund invests in REITs, the Fund could conceivably own real estate directly as a result of a default on the REIT interests or obligations it owns.
     In addition to the risks of direct real estate investment described above, equity REITs may be affected by any changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trusts, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. REITs are also subject to the following risks: they are dependent upon management skill and on cash flows; are not diversified; are subject to defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to maintain an exemption from the 1940 Act; and are subject to interest rate risk. A Fund that invests in REITs will bear a proportionate share of the expenses of the REITs.
      Other Investment Companies . Each Fund may purchase shares of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds. For each Fund, the 1940 Act imposes the following restrictions on investments in other investment companies: (i) a Fund may not purchase more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of another investment company; (ii) a Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities issued by another investment company; and (iii) a Fund may not invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities issued by other investment companies. The 1940 Act and related rules provide certain exemptions from these restrictions. For example, under certain conditions, a Fund may acquire an unlimited amount of shares of mutual funds that are part of the same group of investment companies as the acquiring fund. In addition, these restrictions do not apply to investments by the Funds in investment companies that are money market funds, including money market funds that have Invesco or an affiliate of Invesco as an investment adviser (the Affiliated Money Market Funds).
     When a Fund purchases shares of another investment company, including an Affiliated Money Market Fund, the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of the advisory fees and other operating expenses of such investment company and will be subject to the risks associated with the portfolio investments of the underlying investment company.
      Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). Invesco Dynamics Fund may invest in MLPs.
     Operating earnings flow directly to the unitholders of MLPs in the form of cash distributions. Although the characteristics of MLPs closely resemble a traditional limited

22


Table of Contents

partnership, a major difference is that MLPs may trade on a public exchange or in the over-the-counter market. The ability to trade on a public exchange or in the over-the-counter market provides a certain amount of liquidity not found in many limited partnership investments.
     The risks of investing in an MLP are similar to those of investing in a partnership and include less restrictive governance and regulation, and therefore less protection for the MLP investor, than investors in a corporation. Additional risks include those risks traditionally associated with investing in the particular industry or industries in which the MLP invests.
      Defaulted Securities. Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund may invest in defaulted securities.
     Defaulted securities are debt securities on which the issuer is not currently making interest payments. In order to enforce its rights in defaulted securities, the Fund may be required to participate in legal proceedings or take possession of and manage assets securing the issuer’s obligations on the defaulted securities. This could increase the Fund’s operating expenses and adversely affect its net asset value. Risks in defaulted securities may be considerably higher as they are generally unsecured and subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Any investments by the Fund in defaulted securities will also be considered illiquid securities subject to the limitations described herein, unless Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers determines that such defaulted securities are liquid under guidelines adopted by the Board.
      Variable or Floating Rate Instruments. Each Fund other than Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund may invest in variable or floating rate instruments.
     Variable or floating rate instruments are securities that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the obligation. The interest rates for securities with variable interest rates are readjusted on set dates (such as the last day of the month or calendar quarter) and the interest rates for securities with floating rates are reset whenever a specified interest rate change occurs. Variable or floating interest rates generally reduce changes in the market price of securities from their original purchase price because, upon readjustment, such rates approximate market rates. Accordingly, as market interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less for variable or floating rate securities than for fixed rate obligations. Many securities with variable or floating interest rates have a demand feature allowing the Fund to demand payment of principal and accrued interest prior to its maturity. The terms of such demand instruments require payment of principal and accrued interest by the issuer, a guarantor, and/or a liquidity provider. All variable or floating rate instruments will meet the applicable rating standards of the Funds. The Fund’s adviser, or Sub-adviser, as applicable, may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable rate demand obligation meets the Fund’s rating standards by reason of being backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by a bank that meets those rating standards.
      Zero-Coupon and Pay-in-Kind Securities. Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund, Invesco Short Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund may invest in zero-coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
     Zero-coupon securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity unlike debt securities that traditionally provide periodic payments of interest (referred to as a coupon payment). Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which increases the interest rate and credit risks of a zero coupon security. Pay-in-kind securities are securities that have interest payable by delivery of additional securities. Upon maturity, the holder is entitled to receive the aggregate par value of the securities. Zero-coupon and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions

23


Table of Contents

than comparably rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay in kind securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the amount paid at maturity represents “original issue discount” on the security.
      Synthetic Municipal Instruments. Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest in synthetic municipal instruments the value and return on which are derived from underlying securities. Invesco believes that certain synthetic municipal instruments provide opportunities for mutual funds to invest in high credit quality securities providing attractive returns, even in market conditions where the supply of short-term tax-exempt instruments may be limited. Synthetic municipal instruments comprise a large percentage of tax-exempt securities eligible for purchase by tax-exempt money market funds. The types of synthetic municipal instruments in which the Funds may invest include tender option bonds and variable rate trust certificates. Both types of instruments involve the deposit into a trust or custodial account of one or more long-term tax-exempt bonds or notes (“Underlying Bonds”), and the sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust or custodial account to investors such as the Funds. The trustee or custodian receives the long-term fixed rate interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate holders short-term floating or variable interest rates which are reset periodically. A “tender option bond” provides a certificate holder with the conditional right to sell its certificate to the sponsor or some designated third party at specified intervals and receive the par value of the certificate plus accrued interest (a demand feature). A “variable rate trust certificate” evidences an interest in a trust entitling the certificate holder to receive variable rate interest based on prevailing short-term interest rates and also typically providing the certificate holder with the conditional demand feature the right to tender its certificate at par value plus accrued interest.
     All synthetic municipal instruments must meet the minimum quality standards for the Fund’s investments and must present minimal credit risks. In selecting synthetic municipal instruments for the Fund, Invesco considers the creditworthiness of the issuer of the Underlying Bond, the sponsor and the party providing certificate holders with a conditional right to sell their certificates at stated times and prices (a demand feature). Typically, a certificate holder cannot exercise the demand feature upon the occurrence of certain conditions, such as where the issuer of the Underlying Bond defaults on interest payments. Moreover, because synthetic municipal instruments involve a trust or custodial account and a third party conditional demand feature, they involve complexities and potential risks that may not be present where a municipal security is owned directly.
     The tax-exempt character of the interest paid to certificate holders is based on the assumption that the holders have an ownership interest in the Underlying Bonds; however, the IRS has not issued a ruling addressing this issue. In the event the IRS issues an adverse ruling or successfully litigates this issue, it is possible that the interest paid to the Funds on certain synthetic municipal instruments would be deemed to be taxable. Each Fund relies on opinions of special tax counsel on this ownership question and opinions of bond counsel regarding the tax-exempt character of interest paid on the Underlying Bonds.
      Stripped Income Securities . Invesco Dynamics Fund may invest in stripped income securities.
     Stripped Income Securities are obligations representing an interest in all or a portion of the income or principal components of an underlying or related security, a pool of securities, or other assets. Stripped income securities may be partially stripped so that each class receives some interest and some principal. However, they may be completely stripped, where one class

24


Table of Contents

will receive all of the interest (the interest only class or the IO class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only class or the PO class).
     The market values of stripped income securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in interest rates than are conventional income securities. In the case of mortgage-backed stripped income securities, the yields to maturity of IOs and POs may be very sensitive to principal repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages resulting in a Fund being unable to recoup its initial investment or resulting in a less than anticipated yield. The market for stripped income securities may be limited, making it difficult for the Fund to dispose of its holding at an acceptable price.
      Participation Notes. Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may invest in participation notes. Participation notes, also known as participation certificates, are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to replicate the performance of foreign companies or foreign securities markets and can be used by the Fund as an alternative means to access the securities market of a country. The performance results of participation notes will not replicate exactly the performance of the foreign company or foreign securities market that they seek to replicate due to transaction and other expenses. Investments in participation notes involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies or foreign securities market that they seek to replicate. Participation notes are generally traded over-the-counter and are subject to counterparty risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the broker-dealer or bank that issues them will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. Participation notes constitute general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them, and a Fund is relying on the creditworthiness of such banks or broker-dealers and has no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying assets.
Investment Techniques
      Forward Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities. Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed-delivery basis.
     Forward commitments, when-issued or delayed-delivery basis means that delivery and payment take place in the future after the date of the commitment to purchase or sell the securities at a pre-determined price and/or yield. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered. Forward commitments also include “To be announced” (TBA) mortgage backed securities, which are contracts for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities to be delivered at a future agreed upon date, whereby the specific mortgage pool numbers or the number of pools that will be delivered to fulfill the trade obligation or terms of the contract are unknown at the time of the trade. A Fund may also enter into buy/sell back transactions (a form of delayed delivery agreement). In a buy/sell back transaction, a Fund enters a trade to sell securities at one price and simultaneously enters a trade to buy the same securities at another price for settlement at a future date. Although a Fund generally intends to acquire or dispose of securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis, a Fund may sell these securities or its commitment before the settlement date if deemed advisable.
     When purchasing a security on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, a Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuation, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. Securities purchased on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed-delivery basis

25


Table of Contents

are subject to changes in value based upon the public’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes, real or anticipated, in the level of interest rates. Accordingly, securities acquired on such a basis may expose a Fund to risks because they may experience such fluctuations prior to actual delivery. Purchasing securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis may involve the additional risk that the yield available in the market when the delivery takes place actually may be higher than that obtained in the transaction itself.
     Investment in these types of securities may increase the possibility that the Fund will incur short-term gains subject to federal taxation or short-term losses if the Fund must engage in portfolio transactions in order to honor its commitment. Until the settlement date, a Fund will segregate liquid assets of a dollar value sufficient at all times to make payment for the forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. Such segregated liquid assets will be marked-to-market daily, and the amount segregated will be increased if necessary to maintain adequate coverage of the delayed delivery commitments. No additional forward, when-issued or delayed delivery commitments will be made by a Fund if, as a result, more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets would become so committed. The delayed delivery securities, which will not begin to accrue interest or dividends until the settlement date, will be recorded as an asset of a Fund and will be subject to the risk of market fluctuation. The purchase price of the delayed delivery securities is a liability of a Fund until settlement.
      Short Sales. The Funds (except for Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund) do not currently intend to engage in short sales other than short sales against the box. A Fund will not sell a security short if, as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s total assets. This limitation does not apply to short sales against the box.
     A short sale involves the sale of a security which a Fund does not own in the hope of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, a Fund must borrow the security from a broker. The Fund normally closes a short sale by purchasing an equivalent number of shares of the borrowed security on the open market and delivering them to the broker. A short sale is typically effected when the Fund’s adviser believes that the price of a particular security will decline. Open short positions using futures or forward currency contracts are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.
     To secure its obligation to deliver the securities sold short to the broker, a Fund will be required to deposit cash or liquid securities with the broker. In addition, the Fund may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities, and while the loan of the security sold short is outstanding, the Fund is required to pay to the broker the amount of any dividends paid on shares sold short. In addition to maintaining collateral with the broker, a Fund will set aside an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to the difference, if any, between the current market value of the securities sold short and any cash or liquid securities deposited as collateral with the broker-dealer in connection with the short sale. The collateral will be marked to market daily. The amounts deposited with the broker or segregated with the custodian do not have the effect of limiting the amount of money that the Fund may lose on a short sale. Short sale transactions covered in this manner are not considered senior securities and are not subject to the Fund’s fundamental investment limitations on senior securities and borrowings.
     Short positions create a risk that a Fund will be required to cover them by buying the security at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. Because a short position loses value as the security’s price increases, the loss on a short sale is theoretically unlimited. The loss on a long position is limited to what the Fund originally paid for the security together with any transaction costs. The Fund may not always be able to borrow a security the Fund seeks to sell short at a particular time or at an acceptable price. It is possible that the

26


Table of Contents

market value of the securities the Fund holds in long positions will decline at the same time that the market value of the securities the Fund has sold short increases, thereby increasing the Fund’s potential volatility. Because the Fund may be required to pay dividends, interest, premiums and other expenses in connection with a short sale, any benefit for the Fund resulting from the short sale will be decreased, and the amount of any ultimate gain or loss will be decreased or increased, respectively, by the amount of such expenses.
     The Fund may also enter into short sales against the box. Short sales against the box are short sales of securities that a Fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If a Fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. The Fund will incur transaction costs including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.
     Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund are permitted and intend from time to time to effect short sales that are not “against the box.” In a short sale that is not “against the box”, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund do not own the security borrowed. To secure its obligation to deliver to such broker-dealer the securities sold short, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund must segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to the difference between the current market value of the securities sold short and any cash or liquid securities deposited as collateral with the broker in connection with the short sale (including the proceeds of the short sale). The amounts deposited with the broker or segregated with the custodian do not have the effect of limiting the amount of money that the Funds may lose on a short sale. In a short sale that is not “against the box”, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will normally close out a short position by purchasing on the open market and delivering to the broker-dealer an equal amount of the securities sold short.
     Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will realize a gain if the price of a security declines between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. On the other hand, the Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between those dates. The amount of any gain will be decreased and the amount of any loss increased by any premium or interest that the Fund may be required to pay in connection with a short sale. It should be noted that possible losses from short sales that are not “against the box” differ from those that could arise from a cash investment in a security in that losses from short sales that are not “against the box” may be limitless, while the losses from a cash investment in a security cannot exceed the total amount of the Fund’s investment in the security. For example, if the Fund purchases a $10 security, potential loss is limited to $10; however, if the Fund sells a $10 security short, it may have to purchase the security for return to the broker-dealer when the market value of that security is $50, thereby incurring a loss of $40.
     Short sales against the box result in a “constructive sale” and require a Fund to recognize any taxable gain unless an exception to the constructive sale applies. See “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters – Tax Matters- Determination of Taxable Income of a Regulated Investment Company.”
      Margin Transactions . None of the Funds will purchase any security on margin, except that each Fund may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities. The payment by a Fund of initial or variation margin in connection with futures or related options transactions will not be considered the purchase of a security on margin.

Table of Contents

      Interfund Loans . The SEC has issued an exemptive order permitting the Invesco Funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes. The Invesco Funds’ interfund lending program is subject to a number of conditions, including the requirements that: (1) an interfund loan will generally only occur if the interest rate on the loan is more favorable to the borrowing fund than the interest rate typically available from a bank for a comparable transaction and the rate is more favorable to the lending fund than the rate available on overnight repurchase transactions; (2) an Invesco Fund may not lend more than 15% of its net assets through the program (measured at the time of the last loan); and (3) an Invesco Fund may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to another Invesco Fund through the program (measured at the time of the loan). A Fund may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called with one day’s notice and may be repaid on any day.
      Borrowing . The Funds may borrow money to the extent permitted under the Fund Policies. Such borrowings may be utilized (i) for temporary or emergency purposes; (ii) in anticipation of or in response to adverse market conditions; or, (iii) for cash management purposes. Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Short Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund may also borrow money to purchase additional securities when Invesco and/or the Sub-Adviser deems it advantageous to do so. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding. All borrowings are limited to an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of a Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that exceed this amount will be reduced within three business days to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation even if it is not advantageous to sell securities at that time.
     If there are unusually heavy redemptions, a Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio at a time when it may not be advantageous to do so. Selling Fund securities under these circumstances may result in a lower net asset value per share or decreased dividend income, or both. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers believe that, in the event of abnormally heavy redemption requests, a Fund’s borrowing ability would help to mitigate any such effects and could make the forced sale of their portfolio securities less likely.
     The ability of Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Short Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund to borrow money to purchase additional securities gives these Funds greater flexibility to purchase securities for investment or tax reasons and not to be dependent on cash flows. To the extent borrowing costs exceed the return on the additional investments, the return realized by the Fund’s shareholders will be adversely affected. The Fund’s borrowing to purchase additional securities creates an opportunity for a greater total return to the Fund, but, at the same time, increases exposure to losses. The Fund’s willingness to borrow money for investment purposes, and the amount it borrows depends upon many factors, including investment outlook, market conditions and interest rates. Successful use of borrowed money to purchase additional investments depends on Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to predict correctly interest rates and market movements; such a strategy may not be successful during any period in which it is employed.
     The Funds may borrow from a bank, broker-dealer, or an Invesco Fund. Additionally, the Funds are permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in their account with their custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the Funds may either (i) leave Funds as a compensating balance in their account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning interest on such Funds; or (ii) compensate the custodian bank by paying

28


Table of Contents

it an agreed upon rate. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
      Lending Portfolio Securities . Each Fund may each lend its portfolio securities (principally to broker-dealers) to generate additional income. Such loans are callable at any time and are continuously secured by segregated collateral equal to no less than the market value, determined daily, of the loaned securities. Such collateral will be cash, letters of credit, or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to the extent of one-third of its total assets. A Fund will loan its securities only to parties that Invesco has determined are in good standing and when, in Invesco’s judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.
     A Fund will not have the right to vote securities while they are on loan, but it can call a loan in anticipation of an important vote. The Fund would receive income in lieu of dividends on loaned securities and may, at the same time, generate income on the loan collateral or on the investment of any cash collateral.
     If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or gaining access to the collateral. If the Fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, the Fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement security in the market. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the loaned securities increases and the collateral is not increased accordingly.
     Any cash received as collateral for loaned securities will be invested, in accordance with a Fund’s investment guidelines, in short-term money market instruments or Affiliated Money Market Funds. Investing this cash subjects that investment to market appreciation or depreciation. For purposes of determining whether a Fund is complying with its investment policies, strategies and restrictions, the Fund will consider the loaned securities as assets of the Fund, but will not consider any collateral received as a Fund asset. The Fund will bear any loss on the investment of cash collateral.
     For a discussion of tax considerations relating to lending portfolio securities, see “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters – Tax Matters – Securities Lending.”
      Repurchase Agreements . Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions involving the types of securities in which it is permitted to invest. Repurchase agreements are agreements under which a Fund acquires ownership of a security from a broker-dealer or bank that agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed upon time and price (which is higher than the purchase price), thereby determining the yield during a Fund’s holding period. A Fund may enter into a “continuing contract” or “open” repurchase agreement under which the seller is under a continuing obligation to repurchase the underlying securities from the Fund on demand and the effective interest rate is negotiated on a daily basis. Repurchase agreements may be viewed as loans made by a Fund which are collateralized by the securities subject to repurchase.
     If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, a Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience a loss on the sale of the underlying security to the extent that the proceeds of the sale including accrued interest are less than the resale price provided in the agreement, including interest. In addition, although the Bankruptcy Code and other insolvency laws may provide certain protections for some types of repurchase agreements, if the seller of a repurchase agreement should be involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, a Fund may incur delay and costs in selling the underlying security or may suffer a loss of principal and interest if the

29


Table of Contents

value of the underlying security declines. The securities underlying a repurchase agreement will be marked-to-market every business day so that the value of such securities is at least equal to the investment value of the repurchase agreement, including any accrued interest thereon.
     The Funds may invest their cash balances in joint accounts with other Invesco Funds for the purpose of investing in repurchase agreements with maturities not to exceed 60 days, and in certain other money market instruments with remaining maturities not to exceed 90 days. Repurchase agreements are considered loans by a Fund under the 1940 Act.
     Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s investment policies permit it to invest in repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers pertaining to U.S. Treasury obligations. However, in order to maximize the Fund’s dividends which are exempt from state income taxation, as a matter of operating policy, the Fund does not currently invest in repurchase agreements.
      Restricted and Illiquid Securities . Each Fund other than Invesco Money Market Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities that are illiquid.
     Illiquid securities are securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the normal course of business at the price at which they are valued. Illiquid securities may include a wide variety of investments, such as: (1) repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days (unless the agreements have demand/redemption features); (2) OTC options contracts and certain other derivatives (including certain swap agreements); (3) fixed time deposits that are not subject to prepayment or that provide for withdrawal penalties upon prepayment (other than overnight deposits); (4) loan interests and other direct debt instruments; (5) municipal lease obligations; (6) commercial paper issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the 1933 Act); and (7) securities that are unregistered, that can be sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, or that are exempt from registration under the 1933 Act or otherwise restricted under the federal securities laws.
     Limitations on the resale of restricted securities may have an adverse effect on their marketability, which may prevent a Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. The Fund may have to bear the expense of registering such securities for resale, and the risk of substantial delays in effecting such registrations. A Fund’s difficulty valuing and selling illiquid securities may result in a loss or be costly to the Fund.
     If a substantial market develops for a restricted security or other illiquid investment held by a Fund, it may be treated as a liquid security, in accordance with procedures and guidelines approved by the Board. While Invesco monitors the liquidity of restricted securities on a daily basis, the Board oversees and retains ultimate responsibility for Invesco’s liquidity determinations. Invesco considers various factors when determining whether a security is liquid, including the frequency of trades, availability of quotations and number of dealers or qualified institutional buyers in the market.
      Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Short Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund may engage in reverse repurchase agreements.
     Reverse repurchase agreements are agreements that involve the sale of securities held by a Fund to financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers, with an agreement that the Fund will repurchase the securities at an agreed upon price and date. During the reverse repurchase agreement period, the Fund continues to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. A Fund may employ reverse repurchase agreements (i) for temporary emergency purposes, such as to meet unanticipated net redemptions so as to avoid liquidating

30


Table of Contents

other portfolio securities during unfavorable market conditions; (ii) to cover short-term cash requirements resulting from the timing of trade settlements; or (iii) to take advantage of market situations where the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction.
     Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities to be purchased by the Fund may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the securities, or that the other party may default on its obligation, so that the Fund is delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. At the time the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will segregate, and maintain, liquid assets having a dollar value equal to the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered borrowings by a Fund under the 1940 Act
      Mortgage Dollar Rolls. Invesco Core Bond, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Short-Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund may engage in mortgage dollar rolls (a dollar roll).
     A dollar roll is a type of transaction that involves the sale by a Fund of a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, with an agreement that the Fund will repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon and maturity) security at an agreed upon price and date. The mortgage securities that are purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but will generally be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. During the period between the sale and repurchase a Fund will not be entitled to receive interest or principal payments on the securities sold but is compensated for the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase. In addition, cash proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, would generate income for a Fund. A Fund typically enters into a dollar roll transaction to enhance the Fund’s return either on an income or total return basis or to manage pre-payment risk.
     Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by a Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase under the agreement. In the event the buyer of securities under a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities. Dollar rolls are considered borrowings by a Fund under the 1940 Act. At the time a Fund enters into a dollar roll transaction, a sufficient amount of assets held by the Fund will segregated to meet the forward commitment.
     Unless the benefits of the sale exceed the income, capital appreciation or gains on the securities sold as part of the dollar roll, the investment performance of a Fund will be less than what the performance would have been without the use of dollar rolls. The benefits of dollar rolls may depend upon the Adviser or Sub-Adviser’s ability to predict mortgage repayments and interest rates. There is no assurance that dollar rolls can be successfully employed.
Sale of Money Market Securities . Invesco Money Market Fund does not seek profits through short-term trading and will generally hold portfolio securities to maturity. However, the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser may seek to enhance the yield of the Fund by taking advantage of yield disparities that occur in the money markets. For example, market conditions frequently result in similar securities trading at different prices. Also, there frequently are differences in yields between various types of money market securities. The Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser may dispose

31


Table of Contents

of any portfolio security prior to its maturity if such disposition and reinvestment of proceeds are expected to enhance yield consistent with the Adviser’s and/or Sub-Adviser’s judgment as to desirable portfolio maturity structure. The Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser may also dispose of any portfolio security prior to maturity to meet redemption requests, and as a result of a revised credit evaluation of the issuer or other circumstances or considerations. This procedure may increase or decrease the Fund’s yield depending upon the Adviser’s and/or Sub-Adviser’s ability to correctly time and execute such transactions. The Fund’s policy of investing in securities with maturities of 397 days or less will result in high portfolio turnover. Since brokerage commissions are not normally paid on investments of the type made by the Fund, the high turnover should not adversely affect the Fund’s net income.
Derivatives
     A derivative is a financial instrument whose value is dependent upon the value of other assets, rates or indices, referred to as an “underlying reference.” These underlying references may include commodities, stocks, bonds, interest rates, currency exchange rates or related indices. Derivatives include swaps, options, warrants, futures and forward currency contract. Some derivatives, such as futures and certain options, are traded on U.S. commodity or securities exchanges, while other derivatives, such as swap agreements, are privately negotiated and entered into in the over-the-counter (OTC) market.
     Derivatives may be used for “hedging,” which means that they may be used when the portfolio manager seeks to protect the Fund’s investments from a decline in value, which could result from changes in interest rates, market prices, currency fluctuations and other market factors. Derivatives may also be used when the portfolio manager seeks to increase liquidity, implement a tax or cash management strategy, invest in a particular stock, bond or segment of the market in a more efficient or less expensive way, modify the characteristics of the Fund’s portfolio investments, for example, duration, and/or to enhance return. However derivatives are used, their successful use is not assured and will depend upon the portfolio manager’s ability to predict and understand relevant market movements.
     Because certain derivatives involve leverage, that is, the amount invested may be smaller than the full economic exposure of the derivative instrument and the Fund could lose more than it invested, federal securities laws, regulations and guidance may require the Fund to earmark assets to reduce the risks associated with derivatives or to otherwise hold instruments that offset the Fund’s obligations under the derivatives instrument. This process is known as “cover.” A Fund will not enter into any derivative transaction unless it can comply with SEC guidance regarding cover, and, If SEC guidance so requires, a Fund will earmark cash or liquid assets with a value sufficient to cover its obligations under a derivative transaction or otherwise “cover” the transaction in accordance with applicable SEC guidance. If a large portion of a Fund’s assets is used for cover, it could affect portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations. The leverage involved in certain derivative transactions may result in a Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the related investment.
      General risks associated with derivatives:
     The use by the Funds of derivatives may involve certain risks, as described below.
      Counterparty Risk: OTC derivatives are generally governed by a single master agreement for each counterparty. Counterparty Risk refers to the risk that the counterparty under the agreement will not live up to its obligations. An agreement may not contemplate delivery of collateral to support fully a counterparty’s contractual obligation; therefore, a Fund might need to rely on contractual remedies to satisfy the counterparty’s full obligation. As with any contractual

32


Table of Contents

remedy, there is no guarantee that a Fund will be successful in pursuing such remedies, particularly in the event of the counterparty’s bankruptcy. The agreement may allow for netting of the counterparty’s obligations on specific transactions, in which case a Fund’s obligation or right will be the net amount owed to or by the counterparty. The Fund will not enter into a derivative transaction with any counterparty that Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers believe does not have the financial resources to honor its obligations under the transaction. Invesco monitors the financial stability of counterparties. Where the obligations of the counterparty are guaranteed, Invesco monitors the financial stability of the guarantor instead of the counterparty.
     A Fund will not enter into a transaction with any single counterparty if the net amount owed or to be received under existing transactions under the agreements with that counterparty would exceed 5% of the Fund’s net assets determined on the date the transaction is entered into.
      Leverage Risk: Leverage exists when a Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. A Fund mitigates leverage by segregating or earmarking assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to leverage.
      Liquidity Risk: The risk that a particular derivative is difficult to sell or liquidate. If a derivative transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses to the Fund.
      Pricing Risk: The risk that the value of a particular derivative does not move in tandem or as otherwise expected relative to the corresponding underlying instruments.
      Regulatory Risk: The risk that a change in laws or regulations will materially impact a security or market.
      Tax Risks: For a discussion of the tax considerations relating to derivative transactions, see “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters.”
      General risks of hedging strategies using derivatives:
     The use by the Funds of hedging strategies involves special considerations and risks, as described below.
     Successful use of hedging transactions depends upon Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ ability to predict correctly the direction of changes in the value of the applicable markets and securities, contracts and/or currencies. While Invesco and the Sub-Advisers are experienced in the use of derivatives for hedging, there can be no assurance that any particular hedging strategy will succeed.
     In a hedging transaction, there might be imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between the price movements of an instrument used for hedging and the price movements of the investments being hedged. Such a lack of correlation might occur due to factors unrelated to the value of the investments being hedged, such as changing interest rates, market liquidity, and speculative or other pressures on the markets in which the hedging instrument is traded.
     Hedging strategies, if successful, can reduce risk of loss by wholly or partially offsetting the negative effect of unfavorable price movements in the investments being hedged. However,

33


Table of Contents

hedging strategies can also reduce opportunity for gain by offsetting the positive effect of favorable price movements in the hedged investments.
      Types of derivatives:
      Swap Agreements . Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco Short-Term Bond Fund may enter into swap agreements. Swap agreements are two-party contracts wherein the two parties agree to make an exchange as described below.
     Generally, swap agreements are contracts between a Fund and a brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution (the counterparty) for periods ranging from a few days to multiple years. In a basic swap transaction, the Fund agrees with its counterparty to exchange the returns (or differentials in returns) earned or realized on a particular asset such as an equity or debt security, commodity, currency or interest rate, calculated with respect to a “notional amount.” The notional amount is the set amount selected by the parties to use as the basis on which to calculate the obligations that the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. The parties typically do not exchange the notional amount. Instead, they agree to exchange the returns that would be earned or realized if the notional amount were invested in given investments or at given interest rates. Examples of returns that may be exchanged in a swap agreement are those of a particular security, a particular fixed or variable interest rate, a particular foreign currency, or a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. In some cases, such as cross currency swaps, the swap agreement may require delivery (exchange) of the entire notional value of one designated currency for another designated currency.
     Numerous proposals have been made by various regulatory entities and rulemaking bodies to regulate the OTC derivatives markets, including, specifically, credit default swaps. The Fund cannot predict the outcome or final form of any of these proposals or if or when any of them would become effective. However, any additional regulation or limitation on the OTC markets for derivatives could materially and adversely impact the ability of the Fund to buy or sell OTC derivatives, including credit default swaps.
     Commonly used swap agreements include:
      Credit Default Swaps (CDS): An agreement between two parties where the first party agrees to make one or more payments to the second party, while the second party assumes the risk of certain defaults, generally a failure to pay or bankruptcy of the issuer on a referenced debt obligation. CDS transactions are typically individually negotiated and structured. A Fund may enter into CDS to create long or short exposure to domestic or foreign corporate debt securities or sovereign debt securities.
     A Fund may buy a CDS (buy credit protection). In this transaction the Fund makes a stream of payments based on a fixed interest rate (the premium) over the life of the swap in exchange for a counterparty (the seller) taking on the risk of default of a referenced debt obligation (the Reference Obligation). If a credit event occurs for the Reference Obligation, the Fund would cease making premium payments and it would deliver defaulted bonds to the seller. In return, the seller would pay the notional value of the Reference Obligation to the Fund. Alternatively, the two counterparties may agree to cash settlement in which the seller delivers to the Fund (buyer) the difference between the market value and the notional value of the Reference Obligation. If no event of default occurs, the Fund pays the fixed premium to the seller for the life of the contract, and no other exchange occurs.
     Alternatively, a Fund may sell a CDS (sell credit protection). In this transaction the Fund will receive premium payments from the buyer in exchange for taking the risk of default of the Reference Obligation. If a credit event occurs for the Reference Obligation , the buyer would

34


Table of Contents

cease to make premium payments to the Fund and deliver the Reference Obligation to the Fund. In return, the Fund would pay the notional value of the Reference Obligation to the buyer. Alternatively, the two counterparties may agree to cash settlement in which the Fund would pay the buyer the difference between the market value and the notional value of the Reference Obligation. If no event of default occurs, the Fund receives the premium payments over the life of the contract, and no other exchange occurs.
      Credit Default Index (CDX). A CDX is an index of CDS. CDX allow an investor to manage credit risk or to take a position on a basket of credit entities (such as CDS or CMBS) in a more efficient manner than transacting in single name CDS. If a credit event occurs in one of the underlying companies, the protection is paid out via the delivery of the defaulted bond by the buyer of protection in return for payment of the notional value of the defaulted bond by the seller of protection or it may be settled through a cash settlement between the two parties. The underlying company is then removed from the index. New series of CDX are issued on a regular basis. A Commercial Mortgage-Backed Index (CMBX) is a type of CDX made up of 25 tranches of commercial mortgage-backed securities (See “Debt Instruments – Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities”) rather than CDS. Unlike other CDX contracts where credit events are intended to capture an event of default CMBX involves a pay-as-you-go (PAUG) settlement process designed to capture non-default events that affect the cash flow of the reference obligation. PAUG involves ongoing, two-way payments over the life of a contract between the buyer and the seller of protection and is designed to closely mirror the cash flow of a portfolio of cash commercial mortgage-backed securities.
      Currency Swap : An agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange a U.S. dollar-denominated payment for a payment denominated in a different currency.
      Interest Rate Swap: An agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified principal or notional amount. In other words, Party A agrees to pay Party B a fixed interest rate and in return Party B agrees to pay Party A a variable interest rate.
      Total Return Swap : An agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains.
      Bundled Securities . In lieu of investing directly in securities appropriate for Invesco High Yield Fund and Invesco Income Fund, the Funds may from time to time invest in Targeted Return Index Securities Trusts “TRAINS” or similar instruments representing a fractional undivided interest in an underlying pool of securities often referred to as “Bundled Securities”. Bundled Securities are typically represented by certificates and the Funds will be permitted at any time to exchange such certificates for the underlying securities evidenced by such certificates and thus the certificates are generally subject to the same risks as the underlying securities held in the trust. The Funds will examine the characteristics of the underlying securities for compliance with investment criteria but will determine liquidity with reference to the certificates themselves. TRAINS and other trust certificates are generally not registered under the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act and therefore must be held by qualified purchasers and resold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. Investments in certain TRAINS or other trust certificates may have the effect of increasing the level of Fund illiquidity to the extent a Fund, at a particular point in time, may be unable to find qualified institutional buyers interested in purchasing such securities.
      Options. Each Fund may invest in options.

35


Table of Contents

     An option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the right to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option at the exercise price during the term of the option (for American style options or on a specified date for European style options), the security, currency or other instrument underlying the option (or in the case of an index option the cash value of the index). Options on a CDS or a Futures Contract (defined below) give the purchaser the right to enter into a CDS or assume a position in a Futures Contract.
     The Funds may engage in certain strategies involving options to attempt to manage the risk of their investments or, in certain circumstances, for investment (e.g., as a substitute for investing in securities). Option transactions present the possibility of large amounts of exposure (or leverage), which may result in a Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the option.
     The value of an option position will reflect, among other things, the current market value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until expiration, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the underlying investment, the price volatility of the underlying investment and general market and interest rate conditions.
     A Fund will not write (sell) options if, immediately after such sale, the aggregate value of securities or obligations underlying the outstanding options would exceed 20% of the Fund’s total assets. A Fund will not purchase options if, immediately after such purchase, the aggregate premiums paid for outstanding options would exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
     A Fund may effectively terminate its right or obligation under an option by entering into an offsetting closing transaction. For example, a Fund may terminate its obligation under a call or put option that it had written by purchasing an identical call or put option, which is known as a closing purchase transaction. Conversely, a Fund may terminate a position in a put or call option it had purchased by writing an identical put or call option, which is known as a closing sale transaction. Closing transactions permit a Fund to realize profits or limit losses on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.
     Options may be either listed on an exchange or traded in OTC markets. Listed options are tri-party contracts (i.e., performance of the obligations of the purchaser and seller are guaranteed by the exchange or clearing corporation) and have standardized strike prices and expiration dates. OTC options are two-party contracts with negotiated strike prices and expiration dates and differ from exchange-traded options in that OTC options are transacted with dealers directly and not through a clearing corporation (which guarantees performance). In the case of OTC options, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option at any specific time; therefore the Fund may be required to treat some or all OTC options as illiquid securities. Although a Fund will enter into OTC options only with dealers that are expected to be capable of entering into closing transactions with it, there is no assurance that the Fund will in fact be able to close out an OTC option position at a favorable price prior to exercise or expiration. In the event of insolvency of the dealer, a Fund might be unable to close out an OTC option position at any time prior to its expiration.
      Types of Options:
      Put Options on Securities: A put option gives the purchaser the right to sell, to the writer, the underlying security, contract or foreign currency at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option for American style options or on a specified date for European style options, regardless of the market price or exchange rate of the security, contract or foreign currency, as the case may be, at the time of exercise. If the purchaser exercises the put option,

36


Table of Contents

the writer of a put option is obligated to buy the underlying security, contract or foreign currency for the exercise price.
      Call Options on Securities: A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy, from the writer, the underlying security, contract or foreign currency at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option (for American style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), regardless of the market price or exchange rate of the security, contract or foreign currency, as the case may be, at the time of exercise. If the purchaser exercises the call option, the writer of a call option is obligated to sell to and deliver the underlying security, contract or foreign currency to the purchaser of the call option for the exercise price.
      Index Options: Index options (or options on securities indices) give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, cash instead of securities, if the closing level of the securities index upon which the option is based is greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option. The amount of cash is equal to the difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the call or put times a specified multiple (the multiplier), which determines the total dollar value for each point of such difference.
     The risks of investment in index options may be greater than options on securities. Because index options are settled in cash, when a Fund writes a call on an index it cannot provide in advance for its potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities. A Fund can offset some of the risk of writing a call index option by holding a diversified portfolio of securities similar to those on which the underlying index is based. However, the Fund cannot, as a practical matter, acquire and hold a portfolio containing exactly the same securities that underlie the index and, as a result, bears the risk that the value of the securities held will not be perfectly correlated with the value of the index.
      CDS Option: A CDS option transaction gives the holder the right to enter into a CDS at a specified future date and under specified terms in exchange for a purchase price or premium. The writer of the option bears the risk of any unfavorable move in the value of the CDS relative to the market value on the exercise date, while the purchaser may allow the option to expire unexercised.
      Options on Futures Contracts: Options on Futures Contracts give the holder the right to assume a position in a Futures Contract (to buy the Futures Contract if the option is a call and to sell the Futures Contract if the option is a put) at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option.
Option Techniques
      Writing Options . A Fund may write options to generate additional income and to seek to hedge its portfolio against market or exchange rate movements. As the writer of an option, the Fund may have no control over when the underlying instruments must be sold (in the case of a call option) or purchased (in the case of a put option) because the option purchaser may notify the Fund of exercise at any time prior to the expiration of the option (for American style options). In general, options are rarely exercised prior to expiration. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the writer retains the amount of the premium.
     A Fund would write a put option at an exercise price that, reduced by the premium received on the option, reflects the price it is willing to pay for the underlying security, contract or currency. In return for the premium received for writing a put option, the Fund assumes the risk that the price of the underlying security, contract, or foreign currency will decline below the exercise price, in which case the put would be exercised and the Fund would suffer a loss.

37


Table of Contents

     In return for the premium received for writing a call option on a security the Fund holds, the Fund foregoes the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the underlying security, contract, or foreign currency above the exercise price so long as the option remains open, but retains the risk of loss should the price of the security, contract, or foreign currency decline.
     If an option that a Fund has written expires, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium; however, such gain may be offset by a decline in the market value of the underlying security, contract or currency, held by the Fund during the option period. If a call option is exercised, a Fund will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, contract or currency, which will be increased or offset by the premium received. The obligation imposed upon the writer of an option is terminated upon the expiration of the option, or such earlier time at which a Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing an option (put or call as the case may be) identical to that previously sold.
      Purchasing Options. A Fund may only purchase a put option on an underlying security, contract or currency owned by the Fund in order to protect against an anticipated decline in the value of the security, contract or currency held by the Fund; or purchase put options on underlying securities, contracts or currencies against which it has written other put options. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would reduce any profit realized when the security, contract or currency is delivered upon the exercise of the put option. Conversely, if the underlying security, contract or currency does not decline in value, the option may expire worthless and the premium paid for the protective put would be lost.
     A Fund may purchase a call option for the purpose of acquiring the underlying security, contract or currency for its portfolio, or on underlying securities, contracts or currencies against which it has written other call options. The Fund is not required to own the underlying security in order to purchase a call option. If the Fund does not own the underlying position, the purchase of a call option would enable a Fund to acquire the security, contract or currency at the exercise price of the call option plus the premium paid. So long as it holds a call option, rather than the underlying security, contract or currency itself, the Fund is partially protected from any unexpected increase in the market price of the underlying security, contract or currency. If the market price does not exceed the exercise price, the Fund could purchase the security on the open market and could allow the call option to expire, incurring a loss only to the extent of the premium paid for the option.
      Straddles/Spreads/Collars. Each Fund other than Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, for hedging purposes, may write straddles (combinations of put and call options on the same underlying security) to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the Funds’ overall position.
      Spread and straddle options transactions. In “spread” transactions, a Fund buys and writes a put or buys and writes a call on the same underlying instrument with the options having different exercise prices, expiration dates, or both. In “straddles,” a Fund purchases a put option and a call option or writes a put option and a call option on the same instrument with the same expiration date and typically the same exercise price. When a Fund engages in spread and straddle transactions, it seeks to profit from differences in the option premiums paid and received and in the market prices of the related options positions when they are closed out or sold. Because these transactions require the Fund to buy and/or write more than one option simultaneously, the Fund’s ability to enter into such transactions and to liquidate its positions when necessary or deemed advisable may be more limited than if the Fund were to buy or sell a single option. Similarly, costs incurred by the Fund in connection with these transactions will in many cases be greater than if the Fund were to buy or sell a single option.

38


Table of Contents

      Option Collars. A Fund also may use option “collars.” A “collar” position combines a put option purchased by the Fund (the right of the Fund to sell a specific security within a specified period) with a call option that is written by the Fund (the right of the counterparty to buy the same security) in a single instrument. The Fund’s right to sell the security is typically set at a price that is below the counterparty’s right to buy the security. Thus, the combined position “collars” the performance of the underlying security, providing protection from depreciation below the price specified in the put option, and allowing for participation in any appreciation up to the price specified by the call option.
      Warrants . Each Fund other than Invesco U.S. Government Fund may purchase warrants.
     A warrant gives the holder the right to purchase securities from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame and is similar to a call option. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued by the company that will issue the underlying security, whereas options are not issued by the company. Young, unseasoned companies often issue warrants to finance their operations.
      Futures Contracts . Each Fund may purchase Futures Contracts (other than Invesco Municipal Bond Fund).
     A Futures Contract is a two-party agreement to buy or sell a specified amount of a specified security or currency (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of certain futures such as an index future or Eurodollar Future) for a specified price at a designated date, time and place (collectively, Futures Contracts). A “sale” of a Futures Contract means the acquisition of a contractual obligation to deliver the underlying instrument or asset called for by the contract at a specified price on a specified date. A “purchase” of a Futures Contract means the acquisition of a contractual obligation to acquire the underlying instrument or asset called for by the contract at a specified price on a specified date.
     The Funds will only enter into Futures Contracts that are traded (either domestically or internationally) on futures exchanges and are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Futures exchanges and trading thereon in the United States are regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act and by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Foreign futures exchanges and trading thereon are not regulated by the CFTC and are not subject to the same regulatory controls. The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act and, therefore, is not subject to registration or regulation as a pool operator under the act with respect to the Funds.
     Brokerage fees are incurred when a Futures Contract is bought or sold, and margin deposits must be maintained at all times when a Futures Contract is outstanding. “Margin” for a Futures Contracts is the amount of funds that must be deposited by a Fund in order to initiate Futures Contracts trading and maintain its open positions in Futures Contracts. A margin deposit made when the Futures Contract is entered (initial margin) is intended to ensure the Fund’s performance under the Futures Contract. The margin required for a particular Futures Contract is set by the exchange on which the Futures Contract is traded and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange during the term of the Futures Contract.
     Subsequent payments, called “variation margin,” received from or paid to the futures commission merchant through which a Fund enters into the Futures Contract will be made on a daily basis as the futures price fluctuates making the Futures Contract more or less valuable, a process known as marking-to-market. When the Futures Contract is closed out, if the Fund has a loss equal to or greater than the margin amount, the margin amount is paid to the futures commission merchant along with any amount in excess of the margin amount; if the Fund has a

39


Table of Contents

loss of less than the margin amount, the difference is returned to the Fund; or if the Fund has a gain, the margin amount is paid to the Fund and the futures commission merchant pays the Fund any excess gain over the margin amount.
     Closing out an open Futures Contract is affected by entering into an offsetting Futures Contract for the same aggregate amount of the identical financial instrument or currency and the same delivery date. There can be no assurance, however, that a Fund will be able to enter into an offsetting transaction with respect to a particular Futures Contract at a particular time. If a Fund is not able to enter into an offsetting transaction, it will continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the Futures Contract.
     In addition, if a Fund were unable to liquidate a Futures Contract or an option on a Futures Contract position due to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price limits, it could incur substantial losses. The Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, except in the case of purchased options, the Fund would continue to be required to make daily variation margin payments.
      Types of Futures Contracts:
      Currency Futures: A currency Futures Contract is a standardized, exchange-traded contract to buy or sell a particular currency at a specified price at a future date (commonly three months or more). Currency Futures Contracts may be highly volatile and thus result in substantial gains or losses to the Fund.
      Index Futures: A stock index Futures Contract is an exchange-traded contract that provides for the delivery, at a designated date, time and place, of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount times the difference between the stock index value at the close of trading on the date specified in the contract and the price agreed upon in the Futures Contract; no physical delivery of stocks comprising the index is made.
      Interest Rate Futures: An interest-rate Futures Contract is an exchange-traded contact in which the specified underlying security is either an interest-bearing fixed income security or an inter-bank deposit. Two examples of common interest rate Futures Contracts are U.S. Treasury futures and Eurodollar Futures Contracts. The specified security for U.S. Treasury futures is a U.S. Treasury security. The specified security for Eurodollar futures is the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) which is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend unsecured funds to other banks in the London wholesale money market.
      Security Futures: A security Futures Contract is an exchange-traded contract to purchase or sell, in the future, a specified quantity of a security (other than a Treasury security, or a narrow-based securities index) at a certain price.
      Forward Currency Contracts. Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may engage in forward currency transactions in anticipation of, or to protect itself against, fluctuations in exchange rates.
     A forward currency contract is an over the counter contract between two parties to buy or sell a particular currency at a specified price at a future date. The parties may exchange currency at the maturity of the forward currency contract, or if the parties agree prior to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting amount of currency. Forward currency contracts are traded over-the-counter, and not on organized commodities or securities exchanges.

40


Table of Contents

     A Fund may enter into forward currency contracts with respect to a specific purchase or sale of a security, or with respect to its portfolio positions generally.
     The cost to a Fund of engaging in forward currency contracts varies with factors such as the currencies involved, the length of the contract period, interest rate differentials and the prevailing market conditions. Because forward currency contracts are usually entered into on a principal basis, no fees or commissions are involved. The use of forward currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the underlying securities a Fund owns or intends to acquire, but it does establish a rate of exchange in advance. While forward currency contract sales limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currencies increase.
      Limitations on Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Contracts and on Certain Options on Currencies.
     The Funds, other than Invesco Income Fund, will enter into Futures Contracts for hedging purposes only. For example, Futures Contracts may be sold to protect against a decline in the price of securities or currencies that the Fund owns, or purchased to protect the Fund against an increase in the price of securities or currencies it has committed to purchase or expects to purchase. Additionally, Futures Contracts may be used to hedge against certain portfolio risks such as interest rate risk, yield curve risk and currency exchange rates.
Fund Policies
      Fundamental Restrictions. Except as otherwise noted below, each Fund is subject to the following investment restrictions, which may be changed only by a vote of such Fund’s outstanding shares. Fundamental restrictions may be changed only by a vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the Fund’s shares present at a meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Any investment restriction that involves a maximum or minimum percentage of securities or assets (other than with respect to borrowing) shall not be considered to be violated unless an excess over or a deficiency under the percentage occurs immediately after, and is caused by, an acquisition or disposition of securities or utilization of assets by the Fund.
     (1) The Fund is a “diversified company” as defined in the 1940 Act. The Fund will not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, the Fund would fail to be a diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as such statute, rules and regulations are amended from time to time or are interpreted from time to time by the SEC staff (collectively, the “1940 Act Laws and Interpretations”) or except to the extent that the Fund may be permitted to do so by exemptive order or similar relief (collectively, with the 1940 Act Laws and Interpretations, the “1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions”). In complying with this restriction, however, the Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
     (2) The Fund may not borrow money or issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

41


Table of Contents

     (3) The Fund may not underwrite the securities of other issuers. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or resale of its portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be an underwriter under the 1933 Act.
     (4) The Fund (except for Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund) will not make investments that will result in the concentration (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions) of its investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry. This restriction does not limit the Fund’s investments in (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, (ii) tax-exempt obligations issued by governments or political subdivisions of governments, or (iii) with respect to Invesco Money Market Fund, bank instruments. In complying with this restriction, the Fund will not consider a bank-issued guaranty or financial guaranty insurance as a separate security.
     Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will concentrate (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions) its investments in the securities of domestic and foreign real estate and real estate-related companies. For purposes of Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund’s fundamental restriction regarding industry concentration, real estate and real estate-related companies shall consist of companies that at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management, or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate, These companies include (i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short-term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
     (5) The Fund may not purchase real estate or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in issuers that invest, deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein.
     (6) The Fund may not purchase physical commodities or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving futures contracts and options thereon or investing in securities that are secured by physical commodities.
     (7) The Fund may not make personal loans or loans of its assets to persons who control or are under common control with the Fund, except to the extent permitted by 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from, among other things, purchasing debt obligations, entering into repurchase agreements, loaning its assets to broker-dealers or institutional investors, or investing in loans, including assignments and participation interests.
     (8) The Fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objectives, policies and restrictions as the Fund.
     (9) Under normal circumstances, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its assets (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions) in investments the income from which is exempt from federal income tax under regular tax rules.

     The investment restrictions set forth above provide each of the Funds with the ability to operate under new interpretations of the 1940 Act or pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC without receiving prior shareholder approval of the change. Even though each of the Funds has this flexibility, the Board has adopted non-fundamental restrictions for each of the Funds relating to certain of these restrictions which Invesco and, when applicable, the Sub-Advisers must follow in managing the Funds. Any changes to these non-fundamental restrictions, which are set forth below, require the approval of the Board.
      Non-Fundamental Restrictions. Non-fundamental restrictions may be changed for any Fund without shareholder approval. The non-fundamental investment restrictions listed below apply to each of the Funds unless otherwise indicated.
     (1) In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, the Fund will not, with respect to 75% of its total assets (and for Invesco Money Market Fund, with respect to 100% of its total assets), purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities and securities issued by other investment companies), if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, except, in the case of Invesco Money Market Fund, as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, or (ii) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. The Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
     In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, any Fund that invests in municipal securities will regard each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory and possession of the United States, each political subdivision, agency, instrumentality and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a state is a member as a separate “issuer.” When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision are separate from the government creating the subdivision and the security is backed only by assets and revenues of the subdivision, such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of an Industrial Development Bond or Private Activity bond, if that bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then that non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer. However, if the creating government or another entity guarantees a security, then to the extent that the value of all securities issued or guaranteed by that government or entity and owned by the Fund exceeds 10% of the Fund’s total assets, the guarantee would be considered a separate security and would be treated as issued by that government or entity. Securities issued or guaranteed by a bank or subject to financial guaranty insurance are not subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence.
     (2) In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding industry concentration, the Fund (except for Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund) may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry. For purposes of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund’s fundamental restriction regarding industry concentration, the United States Government shall not be considered an industry.
     (3) Notwithstanding the fundamental restriction with regard to engaging in transactions involving futures contracts and options thereon or investing in securities that are secured by physical commodities, the Fund currently may not invest in any security (including futures contracts or options thereon) that is secured by physical commodities.
     The Funds do not consider currencies or other financial commodities or contracts and financial instruments to be physical commodities (which include, for example, oil, precious metals

43


Table of Contents

and grains). Accordingly, the Funds will interpret the proposed fundamental restriction and the related non-fundamental restriction to permit the Funds, subject to each Fund’s investment objectives and general investment policies (as stated in the Funds’ prospectuses and herein), to invest directly in foreign currencies and other financial commodities and to purchase, sell or enter into commodity futures contracts and options thereon, foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency options, currency-, commodity- and financial instrument-related swap agreements, hybrid instruments, interest rate or securities-related or foreign currency-related hedging instruments or other currency-, commodity- or financial instrument-related derivatives, subject to compliance with any applicable provisions of the federal securities or commodities laws. The Funds also will interpret their fundamental restriction regarding purchasing and selling physical commodities and their related non-fundamental restriction to permit the Funds to invest in exchange-traded funds that invest in physical and/or financial commodities, subject to the limits described in the Funds’ prospectuses and herein.
     (4) In complying with the fundamental restriction with regard to making loans, the Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its total assets and may lend money to an Invesco Fund, on such terms and conditions as the SEC may require in an exemptive order.
     (5) Notwithstanding the fundamental restriction with regard to investing all assets in an open-end fund, the Fund may not invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with the same fundamental investment objectives, policies and restrictions as the Fund.
     (6) The Fund may not acquire any securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act.
     (7) The following apply:
     (a) Invesco High Yield Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality.
     (b) Invesco U.S. Government Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities issued, guaranteed or otherwise backed by the U.S. government.
     (c) Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including bills, notes, and bonds.
     (d) Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related companies.
     (e) Invesco Short Term Bond Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities.
     (f) Invesco Core Bond Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities.
     (g) Invesco Municipal Bond Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in

44


Table of Contents

investments the income from which will not constitute an item of tax preference under the AMT rules.
     For purposes of the foregoing, “assets” means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund will provide written notice to its shareholders prior to any change to this policy, as required by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
     (8) Invesco Municipal Bond Fund will not: invest 25% or more of its assets in (a) securities whose issuers are located in the same state; (b) securities the interest upon which is paid from revenues of similar type projects; or (c) industrial development bonds. The policy described in (b) does not apply, however, if the securities are subject to a guarantee. For securities subject to a guarantee, the Fund does not intend to purchase any such security if, after giving effect to the purchase, 25% or more of the Fund’s assets would be invested in securities issued or guaranteed by entities in a particular industry. Securities issued or guaranteed by a bank or subject to financial guaranty insurance are not subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence.
     (9) The Trust has obtained an opinion of Dechert LLP, special counsel to the Trust, that shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund are eligible for investment by a federal credit union. In order to ensure that shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund meet the requirements for eligibility for investment by federal credit unions, that Fund has adopted the following additional non-fundamental policies:
     (a) The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with: (i) banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC); (ii) savings and loan associations insured by the FDIC; or (iii) registered broker-dealers. The Fund will only enter into repurchase transactions pursuant to a master repurchase agreement in writing with the Fund’s counterparty. Under the terms of a written agreement with its custodian, the Fund receives on a daily basis written confirmation of each purchase of a security subject to a repurchase agreement and a receipt from the Fund’s custodian evidencing each transaction. In addition, securities subject to a repurchase agreement may be recorded in the Federal Reserve Book-Entry System on behalf of the Fund by its custodian. The Fund purchases securities subject to a repurchase agreement only when the purchase price of the security acquired is equal to or less than its market price at the time of the purchase.
     (b) The Fund will only enter into reverse repurchase agreements and purchase additional securities with the proceeds when such proceeds are used to purchase other securities that either mature on a date simultaneous with or prior to the expiration date of the reverse repurchase agreement, or are subject to an agreement to resell such securities within that same time period.
     (c) The Fund will only enter into securities lending transactions that comply with the same counterparty, safekeeping, maturity and borrowing restrictions that the Fund observes when participating in repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions.
(d) The Fund will enter into when-issued and delayed delivery transactions only when the time period between trade date and settlement date does not exceed 120 days, and only when settlement is on a cash basis. When the delivery of securities purchased in such manner is to occur within 30 days of the trade date, the Fund will purchase the securities only at their market price as of the trade date.

           Selective disclosure of portfolio holdings pursuant to non-disclosure agreement . Employees of Invesco and its affiliates may disclose non-public full portfolio holdings on a selective basis only if the Internal Compliance Controls Committee (the ICCC) of Invesco approves the parties to whom disclosure of non-public full portfolio holdings will be made. The ICCC must determine that the proposed selective disclosure will be made for legitimate business purposes of the applicable Fund and is in the vest interest of the applicable Fund’s shareholders. In making such determination, the ICCC will address any perceived conflicts of interest between shareholders of such Fund and Invesco or its affiliates as part of granting its approval.
          The Board exercises continuing oversight of the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings by (1) overseeing the implementation and enforcement of the Holdings Disclosure Policy and the Invesco Funds Code of Ethics by the Chief Compliance Officer (or his designee) of Invesco and the Invesco Funds and (2) considering reports and recommendations by the Chief Compliance Officer concerning any material compliance matters (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended) that may arise in connection with the Holdings Disclosure Policy. Pursuant to the Holdings Disclosure Policy, the Board reviews the types of situations in which Invesco provides such selective disclosure and

Additionally, employees of Invesco and its affiliates may disclose one or more of the portfolio securities of a Fund when purchasing and selling securities through broker-dealers, requesting bids on securities, obtaining price quotations on securities, or in connection with litigation involving the Funds’ portfolio securities. Invesco does not enter into formal Non-disclosure Agreements in connection with these situations; however, the Funds would not continue to conduct business with a person who Invesco believed was misusing the disclosed information.
           Disclosure of portfolio holdings of other Invesco-managed products . Invesco and its affiliates manage products sponsored by companies other than Invesco, including investment companies, offshore funds, and separate accounts. In many cases, these other products are managed in a similar fashion to certain Invesco Funds (as defined herein) and thus have similar portfolio holdings. The sponsors of these other products managed by Invesco and its affiliates may disclose the portfolio holdings of their products at different times than Invesco discloses portfolio holdings for the Invesco Funds.
          Invesco provides portfolio holdings information for portfolios of Invesco Variable Insurance Funds (the Insurance Funds) to insurance companies whose variable annuity and variable life insurance accounts invest in the Insurance Funds (Insurance Companies). Invesco may disclose portfolio holdings information for the Insurance Funds to Insurance Companies with which Invesco has entered into Non-disclosure Agreements up to five days prior to the scheduled dates for Invesco’s disclosure of similar portfolio holdings information for other Invesco Funds on www.invesco.com . Invesco provides portfolio holdings information for the Insurance Funds to such Insurance Companies to allow them to disclose this information on their websites at approximately the same time that Invesco discloses portfolio holdings information for the other Invesco Funds on its website. Invesco manages the Insurance Funds in a similar fashion to certain other Invesco Funds and thus the Insurance Funds and such other Invesco Funds have similar portfolio holdings. Invesco does not disclose the portfolio holdings information for the Insurance Funds on its website, and not all Insurance Companies disclose this information on their websites.

Board of Trustees
          The Trustees and officers of the Trust, their principal occupations during at least the last five years and certain other information concerning them are set forth in Appendix C.
           Qualifications and Experience. In addition to the information set forth in Appendix C, the following sets forth additional information about the qualifications and experiences of each of the Trustees.
          [Information to be provided]
Management Information
          The Trustees have the authority to take all actions necessary in connection with the business affairs of the Trust, including, among other things, approving the investment objectives, policies and procedures for the Funds. The Trust enters into agreements with various entities to manage the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including the Funds’ investment advisers, administrator, transfer agent, distributor and custodians. The Trustees are responsible for selecting these service providers and approving the terms of their contracts with the Funds, and exercising general oversight of these service providers on an ongoing basis.
          Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are affiliated with Invesco and Invesco Ltd., the parent corporation of Invesco. All of the Trust’s executive officers hold similar offices with some or all of the other Funds.
           Leadership Structure and the Board of Trustees . The Board is currently composed of thirteen Trustees, including eleven Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the Independent Trustees and each an Independent Trustee). In addition to eight regularly scheduled meetings per year, the Board holds special meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting. As discussed below, the Board has established six committees to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.
          The Board has appointed an Independent Trustee to serve in the role of Chairman. The Chairman’s primary role is to participate in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board and the identification of information to be presented to the Board and matters to be acted upon by the Board. The Chairman also presides at all meetings of the Board and acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Trustees generally between meetings. The Chairman may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time. Except for any duties specified herein or pursuant to the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or By-laws, the designation of Chairman does not impose on such Independent Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Board, generally. The Fund has substantially the same leadership structure as the Trust.
           Risk Oversight. The Board considers risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at regular meetings of the Investments, Audit, Compliance and Valuation, Distribution and Proxy Oversight Committees (as defined and further described below). These Committees in turn report to the full Board and recommend actions and approvals for the full Board to take.
          Invesco prepares regular reports that address certain investment, valuation and compliance matters, and the Board as a whole or the Committees may also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board, a Committee or the Senior Officer. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board meets regularly with Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within the Adviser that affect the Funds.

Table of Contents

          The Investments Committee and its sub-committees receive regular written reports describing and analyzing the investment performance of the Funds. In addition, the portfolio managers of the Funds meet regularly with the sub-committees of the Investment Committee to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, such as the impact on the Funds of the investment in particular securities or instruments, such as derivatives. To the extent that a Fund changes a particular investment strategy that could have a material impact on the Fund’s risk profile, the Board generally is consulted in advance with respect to such change.
          The Adviser provides regular written reports to the Valuation, Distribution and Proxy Oversight Committee that enable the Committee to monitor the number of fair valued securities in a particular portfolio, the reasons for the fair valuation and the methodology used to arrive at the fair value. Such reports also include information concerning illiquid securities within a Fund’s portfolio. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews valuation procedures and pricing results with the Fund’s independent auditors in connection with such Committee’s review of the results of the audit of the Fund’s year end financial statement.
          The Compliance Committee receives regular compliance reports prepared by the Adviser’s compliance group and meets regularly with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks. As required under SEC rules, the Independent Trustees meet at least quarterly in executive session with the CCO and the Fund’s CCO prepares and presents an annual written compliance report to the Board. The Compliance Committee recommends and the Board adopts compliance policies and procedures for the Fund and approves such procedures for the Fund’s service providers. The compliance policies and procedures are specifically designed to detect and prevent and correct violations of the federal securities laws.
           Committee Structure. The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, the Compliance Committee, the Governance Committee, the Investments Committee, the Valuation, Distribution and Proxy Oversight Committee and the Special Market Timing Litigation Committee (the Committees).

Compensation
Each trustee who is not affiliated with Invesco is compensated for his or her services according to a fee schedule that recognizes the fact that such trustee also serves as a trustee of other Invesco Funds. Each such trustee receives a fee, allocated among the AIM Funds for which he or she serves as a trustee, that consists of an annual retainer component and a meeting fee component. The Chair of the Board and Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain committees receive additional compensation for their services. Information regarding compensation paid or accrued for each trustee of the Trust who was not affiliated with Invesco during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 is found in Appendix D.
          The trustees, on behalf of the Funds, have adopted a retirement plan for the trustees of the Trust who are not affiliated with Invesco. The trustees also have adopted a retirement policy that permits each non-Invesco-affiliated trustee to serve until December 31 of the year in which the trustee turns 75. A majority of the trustees may extend from time to time the retirement date of a trustee.
          Annual retirement benefits are available to each non-Invesco-affiliated trustee of the Trust and/or the other AIM Funds (each, a Covered Fund) who became a trustee prior to December 1, 2008 and has at least five years of credited service as a trustee (including service to a predecessor fund) for a Covered Fund. Effective January 1, 2006, for retirements after December 31, 2005, the retirement benefits will equal 75% of the trustee’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect to such trustee during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and the trustee. The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the trustee or deferred. The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments for a number of years equal to the lesser of (i) sixteen years or (ii) the number of such trustee’s credited years of service. If a trustee dies prior to receiving the full amount of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased trustee’s designated beneficiary for the same length of time that the trustee would have received the payments based on his or her service or if the trustee has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment. A trustee must have attained the age of 65 (60 in the event of death or disability) to receive any retirement benefit. A trustee may make an irrevocable election to commence payment of retirement benefits upon retirement from the Board before age 72; in such a case, the annual retirement benefit is subject to a reduction for early payment.
Deferred Compensation Agreements
          Messrs. Crockett, Edward K. Dunn (a former trustee), Fields and Frischling and Drs. Mathai-Davis and Soll (for purposes of this paragraph only, the Deferring Trustees) have each executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement (collectively, the Compensation Agreements). Pursuant to the Compensation Agreements, the Deferring Trustees have the option to elect to defer receipt of up to 100% of their compensation payable by the Trust, and such amounts are placed into a deferral account and deemed to be invested in one or more Invesco Funds selected by the Deferring Trustees. Distributions from the Deferring Trustees’ deferral accounts will be paid in cash, generally in equal quarterly installments over a period of up to ten (10) years

55


Table of Contents

(depending on the Compensation Agreement) beginning on the date selected under the Compensation Agreement. If a Deferring Trustee dies prior to the distribution of amounts in his or her deferral account, the balance of the deferral account will be distributed to his or her designated beneficiary. The Compensation Agreements are not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts held in the deferral accounts, the Deferring Trustees have the status of unsecured creditors of the Trust and of each other Invesco Fund from which they are deferring compensation.
Purchase of Class A Shares of the Funds at Net Asset Value
          The trustees and other affiliated persons of the Trust may purchase Class A shares of the Invesco Funds without paying an initial sales charge. Invesco Distributors permits such purchases because there is a reduced sales effort involved in sales to such purchasers, thereby resulting in relatively low expenses of distribution. For a complete description of the persons who will not pay an initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of the Invesco Funds, see “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares — Purchase and Redemption of Shares — Purchases of Class A Shares, Class A3 Shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund — Purchases of Class A Shares at Net Asset Value.”
Code of Ethics
          Invesco, the Trust, Invesco Distributors and the Sub-Advisers each have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all Invesco Fund trustees and officers, and employees of Invesco, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, and governs, among other things, the personal trading activities of all such persons. Unless specifically noted, each Sub-Advisers’ Codes of Ethics do not materially differ from Invesco Code of Ethics discussed below. The Code of Ethics is intended to address conflicts of interest with the Trust that may arise from personal trading, including personal trading in most of the Invesco Funds. Personal trading, including personal trading involving securities that may be purchased or held by an Invesco Fund, is permitted under the Code subject to certain restrictions; however, employees are required to pre-clear security transactions with the Compliance Officer or a designee and to report transactions on a regular basis.
Proxy Voting Policies
          Invesco Advisers, Inc. is comprised of two business divisions, Invesco Aim and Invesco Institutional, each of which have adopted their own specific Proxy Voting Policies.

          Invesco may from time to time waive or reduce its fee. Voluntary fee waivers or reductions may be rescinded at any time without further notice to investors. During periods of voluntary fee waivers or reductions, Invesco will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee prior to the end of each fiscal year. Contractual fee waivers or reductions set forth in the Fee Table in a Prospectus may not be terminated or amended to the Funds’ detriment during the period stated in the agreement between Invesco and the Fund.

          Invesco has contractually agreed through at least June 30, 2010, to waive advisory fees payable by each Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the advisory fee Invesco receives from the Affiliated Money Market Funds as a result of each Fund’s investment of uninvested cash in the Affiliated Money Market Funds. See “Description of the Funds and Their Investments and Risks — Investment Strategies and Risks — Other Investments — Other Investment Companies.”
          Invesco also has contractually agreed through June 30, 2011, to waive advisory fees or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expenses on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that each Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement) for the following Funds’ shares:

          The total annual fund operating expenses used in determining whether a fund meets or exceeds the expense limitations described above do not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, which are required to be disclosed and included in the total annual fund operating expenses in a fund’s prospectus fee table. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses of investment companies in which a fund invests but are not fees or expenses incurred by a fund directly.
          Such contractual fee waivers or reductions are set forth in the Fee Table to each Fund’s Prospectus and may not be terminated or amended to the Funds’ detriment during the period stated in the agreement between Invesco and the Fund.
          The management fees payable by the Fund, the amounts waived by Invesco and the net fee paid by the Fund for the last three fiscal years ended July 31 and most recent fiscal year ended February 28 are found in Appendix G.
Investment Sub-Advisers
          Invesco has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to each Fund, pursuant to which these affiliated sub-advisers may be appointed by Invesco from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Funds. These affiliated sub-advisers, each of which is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 are:
          Invesco and each Sub-Adviser are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd.
          The only fees payable to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are for providing discretionary investment management services. For such services, Invesco will pay each Sub-Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, equal to (i) 40% of the monthly compensation that Invesco receives from the Trust, multiplied by (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of such Fund as to which such Sub-Adviser shall have provided discretionary investment management services for that month divided by the net assets of such Fund for that month. Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, this fee is reduced to reflect contractual or voluntary fee waivers or expense limitations by Invesco, if any, in effect from time to time. In no event shall the aggregate monthly fees paid to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement exceed 40% of the monthly compensation that Invesco receives from the Trust pursuant to its advisory

agreement with the Trust, as reduced to reflect contractual or voluntary fees waivers or expense limitations by Invesco, if any.
Portfolio Managers
          Appendix H contains the following information regarding the portfolio managers identified in each Fund’s prospectus:
    The dollar range of the managers’ investments in each Fund.
 
    A description of the managers’ compensation structure.
Information regarding other accounts managed by the manager and potential conflicts of interest that might arise from the management of multiple accounts.
Securities Lending Arrangements
          If a Fund engages in securities lending, Invesco will provide the Fund investment advisory services and related administrative services. The Advisory Agreement describes the administrative services to be rendered by Invesco if a Fund engages in securities lending activities, as well as the compensation Invesco may receive for such administrative services. Services to be provided include: (a) overseeing participation in the securities lending program to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory and investment guidelines; (b) assisting the securities lending agent or principal (the agent) in determining which specific securities are available for loan; (c) monitoring the agent to ensure that securities loans are effected in accordance with Invesco’s instructions and with procedures adopted by the Board; (d) preparing appropriate periodic reports for, and seeking appropriate approvals from, the Board with respect to securities lending activities; (e) responding to agent inquiries; and (f) performing such other duties as may be necessary.
          Invesco’s compensation for advisory services rendered in connection with securities lending is included in the advisory fee schedule. As compensation for the related administrative services Invesco will provide, a lending Fund will pay Invesco a fee equal to 25% of the net monthly interest or fee income retained or paid to the Fund from such activities. Invesco currently waives such fee, and has agreed to seek Board approval prior to its receipt of all or a portion of such fee.
Service Agreements
           Administrative Services Agreement. Invesco and the Trust have entered into a Master Administrative Services Agreement (Administrative Services Agreement) pursuant to which Invesco may perform or arrange for the provision of certain accounting and other administrative services to each Fund which are not required to be performed by Invesco under the Advisory Agreement. The Administrative Services Agreement provides that it will remain in effect and continue from year to year only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board, including the independent trustees, by votes cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose. Under the Administrative Services Agreement, Invesco is entitled to receive from the Funds reimbursement of its costs or such reasonable compensation as may be approved by the Board. Currently, Invesco is reimbursed for the services of the Trust’s principal financial officer and her staff and any expenses related to fund accounting services.

Other Service Providers
           Transfer Agent . Invesco Investment Services, Inc., (Invesco Investment Services), 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77046, a wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco, is the Trust’s transfer agent.
          The Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (the TA Agreement) between the Trust and Invesco Investment Services provides that Invesco Investment Services will perform certain services related to the servicing of shareholders of the Funds. Other such services may be delegated or sub-contracted to third party intermediaries. For servicing accounts holding Class A, A2, B, C, P, R, S, Y, Invesco Cash Reserve and Investor Class shares, the TA Agreement provides that the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, will pay Invesco Investment Services an annual fee per open shareholder account plus certain out of pocket expenses. This fee is paid monthly at the rate of 1/12 of the annual rate and is based upon the number of open shareholder accounts during each month. For servicing accounts holding Institutional Class shares, the TA Agreement provides that the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, will pay Invesco Investment Services a fee per trade executed, to be billed monthly, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, all fees payable by Invesco Investment Services or its affiliates to third party intermediaries who service accounts pursuant to sub-transfer agency, omnibus account services and sub-accounting agreements are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board of the Trust. These payments are made in consideration of services that would otherwise be provided by Invesco Investment Services if the accounts serviced by such intermediaries were serviced by Invesco Investment Services directly. For more information regarding such payments to intermediaries, see the discussion under “Sub-Accounting and Network Support Payments” in Appendix L.
           Sub-Transfer Agent. Invesco Trimark, 5140 Yonge Street, Suite 900, Toronto, Ontario M2N6X7, a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Invesco, provides services to the Trust as a sub-transfer agent, pursuant to an agreement between Invesco Trimark and Invesco Investment Services. The Trust does not pay a fee to Invesco Trimark for these services. Rather Invesco Trimark is compensated by Invesco Investment Services, as a sub-contractor.
                     Custodian . State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Custodian), 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, is custodian of all securities and cash of Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund, Invesco Short Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon, 2 Hanson Place, Brooklyn, New York 11217-1431, is custodian of all securities and cash of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund and Invesco Municipal Bond Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as sub-custodian to facilitate cash management.
          The custodians are authorized to establish separate accounts in foreign countries and to cause foreign securities owned by the Funds to be held outside the United States in branches of U.S. banks and, to the extent permitted by applicable regulations, in certain foreign banks and securities depositories. Invesco is responsible for selecting eligible foreign securities depositories and for assessing the risks associated with investing in foreign countries, including the risk of using eligible foreign securities’ depositories in a country. The Custodian is responsible for monitoring eligible foreign securities depositories.

          Under its contract with the Trust, the Custodian maintains the portfolio securities of the Funds, administers the purchases and sales of portfolio securities, collects interest and dividends and other distributions made on the securities held in the portfolios of the Funds and performs other ministerial duties. These services do not include any supervisory function over management or provide any protection against any possible depreciation of assets.
           Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm . The Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the financial statements of the Funds. The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed [                                           ], as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Funds. Such appointment was ratified and approved by the Board.
          Counsel to the Trust . Legal matters for the Trust have been passed upon by Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP, 2600 One Commerce Square, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES
          The Sub-Advisers have adopted compliance procedures that cover, among other items, brokerage allocation and other trading practices. If all or a portion of a Fund’s assets are managed by one or more Sub-Advisers, the decision to buy and sell securities and broker selection will be made by the Sub-Adviser for the assets it manages. Unless specifically noted, the Sub-Advisers brokerage allocation procedures do not materially differ from Invesco Advisers, Inc.’s procedures.
Brokerage Transactions
               Placing trades generally involves acting on portfolio manager instructions to buy or sell a specified amount of portfolio securities, including selecting one or more third-party broker-dealers to execute the trades, and negotiating commissions and spreads. Various Invesco Ltd. subsidiaries have created a global equity trading desk. The global equity trading desk has assigned local traders in three regions to place equity securities trades in their regions. The Atlanta trading desk of Invesco (the Americas Desk) generally places trades of equity securities in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Brazil; the Hong Kong desk of Invesco Hong Kong (the Hong Kong Desk) generally places trades of equity securities in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and other far Eastern countries; and the London trading desk of Invesco Global Investment Funds Limited (the London Desk) generally places trades of equity securities in European Economic Area markets, Egypt, Israel, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, and other European countries. Invesco, Invesco Japan, Invesco Deutschland, Invesco Hong Kong and Invesco Asset Management use the global equity trading desk to place equity trades. Other Sub-Advisers may use the global equity trading desk in the future. The trading procedures for the Americas Desk, the Hong Kong Desk and the London Desk are similar in all material respects.
               References in the language below to actions by Invesco Advisers, Inc. or a Sub-Adviser (other than Invesco Trimark) making determinations or taking actions related to equity trading include these entities’ delegation of these determinations/actions to the Americas Desk, the Hong Kong Desk, and the London Desk. Even when trading is delegated by Invesco or the Sub-Adviser to the various arms of the global equity trading desk, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser that delegates trading is responsible for oversight of this trading activity.
          Invesco or the Sub-Adviser makes decisions to buy and sell securities for each Fund, selects broker-dealers (each, a Broker), effects the Funds’ investment portfolio transactions,

64


Table of Contents

allocates brokerage fees in such transactions and, where applicable, negotiates commissions and spreads on transactions. Invesco’s and the Sub-Adviser’s primary consideration in effecting a security transaction is to obtain best execution, which is defined as prompt and efficient execution of the transaction at the best obtainable price with payment of commissions, mark-ups or mark-downs which are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage services provided by the Broker. While Invesco or the Sub-Adviser seeks reasonably competitive commission rates, the Funds may not pay the lowest commission or spread available. See “Broker Selection” below.
          Some of the securities in which the Funds invest are traded in over-the-counter markets. Portfolio transactions in such markets may be effected on a principal basis at net prices without commissions, but which include compensation to the Broker in the form of a mark-up or mark-down, or on an agency basis, which involves the payment of negotiated brokerage commissions to the Broker, including electronic communication networks. Purchases of underwritten issues, which include initial public offerings and secondary offerings, include a commission or concession paid by the issuer (not the Funds) to the underwriter. Purchases of money market instruments may be made directly from issuers without the payment of commissions.
          Historically, Invesco did not negotiate commission rates on stock markets outside the United States. In recent years many overseas stock markets have adopted a system of negotiated rates; however, a number of markets maintain an established schedule of minimum commission rates.
          In some cases, Invesco may decide to place trades on a “blind principal bid” basis, which involves combining all trades for one or more portfolios into a single basket, and generating a description of the characteristics of the basket for provision to potential executing brokers. Based on the trade characteristics information provided by Invesco, these brokers submit bids for executing all of the required trades at the market close price for a specific commission. Invesco generally selects the broker with the lowest bid to execute these trades.
          Brokerage commissions paid by each of the Fund’s during the last three fiscal years ended July 31, 2009 and most recent fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, are found in Appendix J .
Commissions
          During the last three fiscal years ended July 31, 2009 and most recent fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, none of the Funds paid brokerage commissions to Brokers affiliated with the Funds, Invesco (or Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. or Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., former advisers to the Funds which merged into Invesco Advisers, Inc. on December 31, 2009), Invesco Distributors, the Sub-Advisers or any affiliates of such entities.
          The Funds may engage in certain principal and agency transactions with banks and their affiliates that own 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of an Invesco Fund, provided the conditions of an exemptive order received by the Invesco Funds from the SEC are met. In addition, a Fund may purchase or sell a security from or to certain other Invesco Funds or other accounts (and may invest in the Affiliated Money Market Funds) provided the Funds follow procedures adopted by the Boards of the various Invesco Funds, including the Trust. These inter-fund transactions do not generate brokerage commissions but may result in custodial fees or taxes or other related expenses.
Broker Selection
          Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s primary consideration in selecting Brokers to execute portfolio transactions for a Fund is to obtain best execution. In selecting a Broker to execute a

65


Table of Contents

portfolio transaction in equity securities for a Fund, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser considers the full range and quality of a Broker’s services, including the value of research and/or brokerage services provided, execution capability, commission rate, and willingness to commit capital, anonymity and responsiveness. Invesco’s and the Sub-Adviser’s primary consideration when selecting a Broker to execute a portfolio transaction in fixed income securities for a Fund is the Broker’s ability to deliver or sell the relevant fixed income securities; however, Invesco and the Sub-Adviser will also consider the various factors listed above. In each case, the determinative factor is not the lowest commission or spread available but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution for the Fund. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser will not select Brokers based upon their promotion or sale of Fund shares.
          In choosing Brokers to execute portfolio transactions for the Funds, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may select Brokers that provide brokerage and/or research services (Soft Dollar Products) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which Invesco and its affiliates have investment discretion. Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provides that Invesco or the Sub-Adviser, under certain circumstances, lawfully may cause an account to pay a higher commission than the lowest available. Under Section 28(e)(1), Invesco or the Sub-Adviser must make a good faith determination that the commissions paid are “reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided ... viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or [Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s] overall responsibilities with respect to the accounts as to which [it] exercises investment discretion.” The services provided by the Broker also must lawfully and appropriately assist Invesco or the Sub-Adviser in the performance of its investment decision-making responsibilities. Accordingly, a Fund may pay a Broker commissions higher than those available from another Broker in recognition of the Broker’s provision of Soft Dollar Products to Invesco or the Sub-Adviser.
          Invesco and the Sub-Adviser face a potential conflict of interest when they use client trades to obtain Soft Dollar Products. This conflict exists because Invesco and the Sub-Adviser are able to use the Soft Dollar Products to manage client accounts without paying cash for the Soft Dollar Products, which reduces Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s expenses to the extent that Invesco or the Sub-Adviser would have purchased such products had they not been provided by Brokers. Section 28(e) permits Invesco or the Sub-Adviser to use Soft Dollar Products for the benefit of any account it manages. Certain Invesco-managed accounts (or accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser) may generate soft dollars used to purchase Soft Dollar Products that ultimately benefit other Invesco Advisers, Inc.-managed accounts (or Sub-Adviser-managed accounts), effectively cross subsidizing the other Invesco-managed accounts (or the other Sub-Adviser-managed accounts) that benefit directly from the product. Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may not use all of the Soft Dollar Products provided by Brokers through which a Fund effects securities transactions in connection with managing the Fund whose trades generated the soft dollars used to purchase such products.
          Invesco presently engages in the following instances of cross-subsidization:
          Fixed income funds normally do not generate soft dollar commissions to pay for Soft Dollar Products. Therefore, soft dollar commissions used to pay for Soft Dollar Products which are used to manage certain fixed income Invesco Funds are generated entirely by equity Invesco Funds and other equity client accounts managed by Invesco. In other words, certain fixed income Invesco Funds are cross-subsidized by the equity Invesco Funds in that the fixed income Invesco Funds receive the benefit of Soft Dollar Products services for which they do not pay. Similarly, other accounts managed by Invesco or certain of its affiliates may benefit from Soft Dollar Products services for which they do not pay.
          Invesco and the Sub-Adviser attempt to reduce or eliminate the potential conflicts of interest concerning the use of Soft Dollar Products by directing client trades for Soft Dollar

66


Table of Contents

Products only if Invesco or the Sub-Adviser concludes that the Broker supplying the product is capable of providing best execution.
          Certain Soft Dollar Products may be available directly from a vendor on a hard dollar basis; other Soft Dollar Products are available only through Brokers in exchange for soft dollars. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser use soft dollars to purchase two types of Soft Dollar Products:
    proprietary research created by the Broker executing the trade, and
 
    other products created by third parties that are supplied to Invesco or the Sub-Adviser through the Broker executing the trade.
          Proprietary research consists primarily of traditional research reports, recommendations and similar materials produced by the in-house research staffs of broker-dealer firms. This research includes evaluations and recommendations of specific companies or industry groups, as well as analyses of general economic and market conditions and trends, market data, contacts and other related information and assistance. Invesco periodically rates the quality of proprietary research produced by various Brokers. Based on the evaluation of the quality of information that Invesco receives from each Broker, Invesco develops an estimate of each Broker’s share of Invesco clients’ commission dollars and attempts to direct trades to these firms to meet these estimates.
          Invesco and the Sub-Adviser also use soft dollars to acquire products from third parties that are supplied to Invesco or the Sub-Adviser through Brokers executing the trades or other Brokers who “step in” to a transaction and receive a portion of the brokerage commission for the trade. Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may from time to time instruct the executing Broker to allocate or “step out” a portion of a transaction to another Broker. The Broker to which Invesco or the Sub-Adviser has “stepped out” would then settle and complete the designated portion of the transaction, and the executing Broker would settle and complete the remaining portion of the transaction that has not been “stepped out.” Each Broker may receive a commission or brokerage fee with respect to that portion of the transaction that it settles and completes.
          Soft Dollar Products received from Brokers supplement Invesco’s and or the Sub-Adviser’s own research (and the research of certain of its affiliates), and may include the following types of products and services:
    Database Services — comprehensive databases containing current and/or historical information on companies and industries and indices. Examples include historical securities prices, earnings estimates and financial data. These services may include software tools that allow the user to search the database or to prepare value-added analyses related to the investment process (such as forecasts and models used in the portfolio management process).
 
    Quotation/Trading/News Systems — products that provide real time market data information, such as pricing of individual securities and information on current trading, as well as a variety of news services.
 
    Economic Data/Forecasting Tools — various macro economic forecasting tools, such as economic data or currency and political forecasts for various countries or regions.
 
    Quantitative/Technical Analysis — software tools that assist in quantitative and technical analysis of investment data.
 
    Fundamental/Industry Analysis — industry specific fundamental investment research.

67


Table of Contents

    Fixed Income Security Analysis — data and analytical tools that pertain specifically to fixed income securities. These tools assist in creating financial models, such as cash flow projections and interest rate sensitivity analyses, which are relevant to fixed income securities.
 
    Other Specialized Tools — other specialized products, such as consulting analyses, access to industry experts, and distinct investment expertise such as forensic accounting or custom built investment-analysis software.
          If Invesco or the Sub-Adviser determines that any service or product has a mixed use (i.e., it also serves functions that do not assist the investment decision-making or trading process), Invesco or the Sub-Adviser will allocate the costs of such service or product accordingly in its reasonable discretion. Invesco or the Sub-Adviser will allocate brokerage commissions to Brokers only for the portion of the service or product that Invesco or the Sub-Adviser determines assists it in the investment decision-making or trading process and will pay for the remaining value of the product or service in cash.
          Outside research assistance is useful to Invesco or the Sub-Adviser because the Brokers used by Invesco or the Sub-Adviser tend to provide more in-depth analysis of a broader universe of securities and other matters than Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s staff follows. In addition, such services provide Invesco or the Sub-Adviser with a diverse perspective on financial markets. Some Brokers may indicate that the provision of research services is dependent upon the generation of certain specified levels of commissions and underwriting concessions by Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s clients, including the Funds. However, the Funds are not under any obligation to deal with any Broker in the execution of transactions in portfolio securities. In some cases, Soft Dollar Products are available only from the Broker providing them. In other cases, Soft Dollar Products may be obtainable from alternative sources in return for cash payments. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser believe that because Broker research supplements rather than replaces Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s research, the receipt of such research tends to improve the quality of Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s investment advice. The advisory fee paid by the Funds is not reduced because Invesco or the Sub-Adviser receives such services. To the extent the Funds’ portfolio transactions are used to obtain Soft Dollar Products, the brokerage commissions obtained by the Funds might exceed those that might otherwise have been paid.
          Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may determine target levels of brokerage business with various Brokers on behalf of its clients (including the Funds) over a certain time period. Invesco determines target levels based upon the following factors, among others: (1) the execution services provided by the Broker; and (2) the research services provided by the Broker. Portfolio transactions may be effected through Brokers that recommend the Funds to their clients, or that act as agent in the purchase of a Fund’s shares for their clients, provided that Invesco or the Sub-Adviser believes such Brokers provide best execution and such transactions are executed in compliance with Invesco’s policy against using directed brokerage to compensate Brokers for promoting or selling AIM Fund shares. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser will not enter into a binding commitment with Brokers to place trades with such Brokers involving brokerage commissions in precise amounts.

Regular Brokers
          Information concerning the Funds’ acquisition of securities of their Brokers during the last fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 is found in Appendix K.
Allocation of Portfolio Transactions
          Invesco and the Sub-Advisers manage numerous Invesco Funds and other accounts. Some of these accounts may have investment objectives similar to the Funds. Occasionally, identical securities will be appropriate for investment by one of the Funds and by another Fund or one or more other accounts. However, the position of each account in the same security and the length of time that each account may hold its investment in the same security may vary. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser will also determine the timing and amount of purchases for an account based on its cash position. If the purchase or sale of securities is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund(s) and one or more other accounts, and is considered at or about the same time, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser will allocate transactions in such securities among the Fund(s) and these accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size or in such other manner believed by Invesco to be fair and equitable. Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may combine transactions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations to obtain the most favorable execution. Simultaneous transactions could, however, adversely affect a Fund’s ability to obtain or dispose of the full amount of a security which it seeks to purchase or sell.
Allocation of Initial Public Offering (IPO) Transactions
          Certain of the Invesco Funds or other accounts managed by Invesco may become interested in participating in IPOs. Purchases of IPOs by one Invesco Fund or other accounts may also be considered for purchase by one or more other Invesco Funds or accounts. Invesco combines indications of interest for IPOs for all Invesco Funds and accounts participating in purchase transactions for that IPO. When the full amount of all IPO orders for such Invesco Funds and accounts cannot be filled completely, Invesco shall allocate such transactions in accordance with the following procedures:
          Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may determine the eligibility of each Invesco Fund and account that seeks to participate in a particular IPO by reviewing a number of factors, including market capitalization/liquidity suitability and sector/style suitability of the investment with the Invesco Fund’s or account’s investment objective, policies, strategies and current holdings. Invesco will allocate securities issued in IPOs to eligible Invesco Funds and accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size.
          Invesco Trimark, Invesco Australia, Invesco Hong Kong and Invesco Japan allocate IPOs on a pro rata basis based on size of order or in such other manner which they believe is fair and equitable.
          Invesco Asset Management allocates IPOs on a pro rata basis based on account size or in such other manner believed by Invesco Asset Management to be fair and equitable.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX MATTERS
Dividends and Distributions
          The following discussion of dividends and distributions should be read in connection with the applicable sections in the Prospectus.
          All dividends and distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of a Fund (hereinafter, the Fund) unless the shareholder has requested in writing to receive such dividends and distributions in cash or that they be invested in shares of another Invesco Fund, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Purchasing Shares —Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment.” Such dividends and distributions will be reinvested at the net asset value per share determined on the ex-dividend date.
          The Fund calculates income dividends and capital gain distributions the same way for each class. The amount of any income dividends per share will differ, however, generally due to any differences in the distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees applicable to the classes, as well as any other expenses attributable to a particular class (Class Expenses). Class Expenses, including distribution plan expenses, must be allocated to the class for which they are incurred consistent with applicable legal principles under the 1940 Act and the Code.
          If Invesco Money Market Fund incurs or anticipates any unusual expense, loss or depreciation in value of investments that would adversely affect the net asset value per share of the Fund or the net income per share of a class of the Fund for a particular period, the Board would at that time consider whether to adhere to the present dividend policy described above or to revise it in light of then prevailing circumstances. For example, if the net asset value per share of Invesco Money Market Fund was reduced, or was anticipated to be reduced, below $1.00, the Board might suspend further dividend payments on shares of the Fund until the net asset value returns to $1.00. Thus, such expense, loss or depreciation might result in a shareholder receiving no dividends for the period during which it held shares of the Fund and/or its receiving upon redemption a price per share lower than that which it paid.
Tax Matters
          The following is a summary of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders that are not described in the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders, and the discussion here and in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
          This “Tax Matters” section is based on the Code and applicable regulations in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional Information. Future legislative, regulatory or administrative changes or court decisions may significantly change the tax rules applicable to the Fund and its shareholders. Any of these changes or court decisions may have a retroactive effect.
           This is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.

           Taxation of the Fund . The Fund has elected and intends to qualify (or, if newly organized, intends to elect and qualify) each year as a “regulated investment company” (sometimes referred to as a regulated investment company, RIC or Fund) under Subchapter M of the Code. If the Fund qualifies, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its investment company taxable income (i.e., generally, taxable interest, dividends, net short-term capital gains and other taxable ordinary income net of expenses without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that it distributes to shareholders.
      Qualification as a regulated investment company . In order to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company, the Fund must satisfy the following requirements:
    Distribution Requirement — the Fund must distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income and 90% of its net tax-exempt income, if any, for the tax year (certain distributions made by the Fund after the close of its tax year are considered distributions attributable to the previous tax year for purposes of satisfying this requirement).
 
    Income Requirement — the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived from its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies and net income derived from qualified publicly traded partnerships (QPTPs).
 
    Asset Diversification Test — the Fund must satisfy the following asset diversification test at the close of each quarter of the Fund’s tax year: (1) at least 50% of the value of the Fund’s assets must consist of cash and cash items, U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and securities of other issuers (as to which the Fund has not invested more than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets in securities of an issuer and as to which the Fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer); and (2) no more than 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies) or of two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses, or, collectively, in the securities of QPTPs.
     In some circumstances, the character and timing of income realized by the Fund for purposes of the Income Requirement or the identification of the issuer for purposes of the Asset Diversification Test is uncertain under current law with respect to a particular investment, and an adverse determination or future guidance by IRS with respect to such type of investment may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to satisfy these requirements. See “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions” with respect to the application of these requirements to certain types of investments. In other circumstances, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio holdings in order to meet the Income Requirement, Distribution requirement, or Asset Diversification Test, which may have a negative impact on the Fund’s income and performance.
     The Fund may use “equalization accounting” (in lieu of making some cash distributions) in determining the portion of its income and gains that has been distributed. If the Fund uses equalization accounting, it will allocate a portion of its undistributed investment company taxable income and net capital gain to redemptions of Fund shares and will correspondingly reduce the amount of such income and gains that it distributes in cash. However, the Fund intends to make cash distributions for each taxable year in an aggregate amount that is sufficient to satisfy the Distribution Requirement without taking into account its use of equalization accounting. If the IRS determines that the Fund’s allocation is improper and that the Fund has under-distributed its income and gain for any taxable year, the Fund may be liable for federal income and/or excise tax.

71


Table of Contents

     If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income (including its net capital gain) would be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for dividends paid to shareholders, and the dividends will be taxable to the shareholders as ordinary income (or possibly as qualified dividend income) to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Failure to qualify as a regulated investment company thus would have a negative impact on the Fund’s income and performance. It is possible that the Fund will not qualify as a regulated investment company in any given tax year. Moreover, the Board reserves the right not to maintain the qualification of the Fund as a regulated investment company if it determines such a course of action to be beneficial to shareholders.
      Portfolio turnover. For investors that hold their Fund shares in a taxable account, a high portfolio turnover rate (except in a money market fund that maintains a stable net asset value) may result in higher taxes. This is because a Fund with a high turnover rate may accelerate the recognition of capital gains and more of such gains are likely to be taxable as short-term rather than long-term capital gains in contrast to a comparable Fund with a low turnover rate. Any such higher taxes would reduce the Fund’s after-tax performance. See “Taxation of Fund Distributions — Capital gain dividends”.
      Capital loss carryovers . For federal income tax purposes, the Fund is permitted to carry forward its net realized capital losses, if any, for eight years as a short-term capital loss and use such losses, subject to applicable limitations, to offset net capital gains without being required to pay taxes on or distribute such gains that are offset by the losses. However, the amount of capital losses that can be carried forward and used in any single year may be limited if the Fund experiences an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code; this change generally results when the shareholders owning 5% or more of the Fund increase their aggregate holdings by more than 50% over a three-year period. An ownership change may result in capital loss carryovers that expire unused, thereby reducing a Fund’s ability to offset capital gains with those losses. An increase in the amount of taxable gains distributed to the Fund’s shareholders could result from an ownership change. The Fund undertakes no obligation to avoid or prevent an ownership change, which can occur in the normal course of shareholder purchases and redemptions or as a result of engaging in a tax-free reorganization with another Fund. Moreover, because of circumstances beyond the Fund’s control, there can be no assurance that the Fund will not experience, or has not already experienced, an ownership change.
      Post-October losses . The Fund (unless its fiscal year ends in October) presently intends to elect to treat any net capital loss or any net long-term capital loss incurred after October 31 as if it had been incurred in the succeeding year in determining its taxable income for the current year. The effect of this election is to treat any such net loss incurred after October 31 as if it had been incurred in the succeeding year in determining the Fund’s net capital gain for capital gain dividend purposes. See “Taxation of Fund Distributions —Capital gain dividends”. The Fund also may elect to treat all or part of any net foreign currency loss incurred after October 31 as if it had been incurred in the succeeding taxable year.
      Undistributed capital gains . The Fund may retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital gain for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute net capital gains. If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will be taxed thereon (except to the extent of any available capital loss carry forward) at the highest corporate tax rate (currently 35%). If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, it is expected that the Fund also will elect to have shareholders treated as if each received a distribution of its pro rata share of such gain, with the result that each shareholder will be required to report its pro rata share of such gain on its tax return as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax credit for its pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain and will increase the tax basis for its shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.
      Asset allocation funds . If the Fund is a fund of funds, asset allocation fund, or a feeder fund in a master feeder structure(collectively referred to as a “fund of funds” which invests in one or more

72


Table of Contents

underlying funds taxable as regulated investment companies) distributions by the underlying funds, redemptions of shares in the underlying funds and changes in asset allocations may result in taxable distributions to shareholders of ordinary income or capital gains. A fund of funds (other than a feeder fund in a master feeder structure) will generally not be able currently to offset gains realized by one underlying fund in which the fund of funds invests against losses realized by another underlying fund. If shares of an underlying fund are purchased within 30 days before or after redeeming at a loss other shares of that underlying fund (whether pursuant to a rebalancing of the Fund’s portfolio or otherwise), all or a part of the loss will not be deductible by the Fund and instead will increase its basis for the newly purchased shares. Also, a fund of funds (a) is not eligible to pass-through to shareholders foreign tax credits from an underlying fund that pays foreign income taxes, (b) is not eligible pass-through to shareholders exempt-interest dividends from an underlying fund, and (c) dividends paid by a fund of funds from interest earned by an underlying fund on U.S. government obligations is unlikely to be exempt from state and local income tax. However, a fund of funds is eligible to pass-through to shareholders qualified dividends earned by an underlying fund. See “Taxation of Fund Distributions — Qualified dividend income for individuals” and - Corporate dividends received deduction”.
      Federal excise tax . To avoid a 4% non-deductible excise tax, the Fund must distribute by December 31 of each year an amount equal to: (1) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98% of capital gain net income (the excess of the gains from sales or exchanges of capital assets over the losses from such sales or exchanges) for the one-year period ended on October 31 of such calendar year (or, at the election of a regulated investment company having a taxable year ending November 30 or December 31, for its taxable year), and (3) any prior year undistributed ordinary income and capital gain net income. Generally, the Fund intends to make sufficient distributions prior to the end of each calendar year to avoid liability for federal excise tax but can give no assurances that all such liability will be avoided. In addition, under certain circumstances temporary timing or permanent differences in the realization of income and expense for book and tax purposes can result in the Fund having to pay some excise tax.
      Foreign income tax . Investment income received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to foreign income tax withheld at the source, and the amount of tax withheld will generally be treated as an expense of the Fund. The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries that entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, tax on such income. It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in advance since the amount of the Fund’s assets to be invested in various countries is not known. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may elect to pass-through foreign tax credits to shareholders.
      Taxation of Fund Distributions (All Funds) . The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain for each taxable year. Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described regardless of whether such distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund (or of another Fund). The Fund will send you information annually as to the federal income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year.
      Distributions of ordinary income . The Fund receives income generally in the form of dividends and/or interest on its investments. The Fund may also recognize ordinary income from other sources, including, but not limited to, certain gains on foreign currency-related transactions. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of the Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income are generally taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund’s earnings and profits. In the case of a Fund whose strategy includes investing in stocks of corporations, a portion of the income dividends paid to you may be qualified dividends eligible to be taxed at reduced rates.
      Capital gain dividends . Taxes on distributions of capital gains are determined by how long the Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long a shareholder has owned his or her shares. In general, the Fund will recognize long-term capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition

73


Table of Contents

of assets it has owned for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss on investments it has owned for one year or less. Distributions of net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) that are properly designated by the Fund as capital gain dividends will generally be taxable to a shareholder receiving such distributions as long-term capital gain. Long-term capital gain rates applicable to individuals are taxed at the maximum rate of 15% or 25% (through 2010) depending on the nature of the capital gain. Distributions of net short-term capital gains for a taxable year in excess of net long-term capital losses for such taxable year will generally be taxable to a shareholder receiving such distributions as ordinary income. Invesco Money Market Fund does not expect to realize any long-term capital gains and losses.
      Qualified dividend income for individuals . For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, ordinary income dividends properly designated by the Fund as derived from qualified dividend income will be taxed in the hands of individuals and other noncorporate shareholders at the rates applicable to long-term capital gain. Qualified dividend income means dividends paid to the Fund (a) by domestic corporations, (b) by foreign corporations that are either (i) incorporated in a possession of the United States, or (ii) are eligible for benefits under certain income tax treaties with the United States that include an exchange of information program, or (c) with respect to stock of a foreign corporation that is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Both the Fund and the investor must meet certain holding period requirements to qualify Fund dividends for this treatment. Income derived from investments in derivatives, fixed-income securities, U.S. REITs, passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), and income received “in lieu of” dividends in a securities lending transaction generally is not eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income. If the qualifying dividend income received by the Fund is equal to 95% (or a greater percentage) of the Fund’s gross income (exclusive of net capital gain) in any taxable year, all of the ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund will be qualifying dividend income.
      Corporate dividends received deduction . Ordinary income dividends designated by the Fund as derived from qualified dividends from domestic corporations will qualify for the 70% dividends received deduction generally available to corporations. The availability of the dividends-received deduction is subject to certain holding period and debt financing restrictions imposed under the Code on the corporation claiming the deduction. Income derived by the Fund from investments in derivatives, fixed-income and foreign securities generally is not eligible for this treatment.
      Maintaining a $1 share price — Invesco Money Market Fund . Gains and losses on the sale of portfolio securities and unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the value of these securities may require the Fund to adjust its dividends to maintain its $1 share price. This procedure may result in under- or over-distributions by the Fund of its net investment income. This in turn may result in return of capital distributions, the effect of which is described in the following paragraph.
      Return of capital distributions . Distributions by the Fund that are not paid from earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of (and in reduction of) the shareholder’s tax basis in his shares; any excess will be treated as gain from the sale of his shares. Return of capital distributions can occur for a number of reasons including, among others, the Fund over-estimates the income to be received from certain investments such as those classified as partnerships or equity REITs. See “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions —Investments in U.S. REITs”.
      Impact of realized but undistributed income and gains, and net unrealized appreciation of portfolio securities . At the time of your purchase of shares (except in a money market fund that maintains a stable net asset value), the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable and would be taxed as either ordinary income (some portion of which may be taxed as qualified dividend income) or capital gain unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a

74


Table of Contents

401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. The Fund may be able to reduce the amount of such distributions by utilizing its capital loss carryovers, if any.
      Pass-through of foreign tax credits . If more than 50% of the value of the Fund’s total assets at the close of each taxable year consists of the stock or securities of foreign corporations, the Fund may elect to “pass through” to the Fund’s shareholders the amount of foreign income tax paid by the Fund (the Foreign Tax Election) in lieu of deducting such amount in determining its investment company taxable income. Pursuant to the Foreign Tax Election, shareholders will be required (i) to include in gross income, even though not actually received, their respective pro-rata shares of the foreign income tax paid by the Fund that are attributable to any distributions they receive; and (ii) either to deduct their pro-rata share of foreign tax in computing their taxable income or to use it (subject to various Code limitations) as a foreign tax credit against federal income tax (but not both). No deduction for foreign tax may be claimed by a noncorporate shareholder who does not itemize deductions or who is subject to the alternative minimum tax. Shareholders may be unable to claim a credit for the full amount of their proportionate shares of the foreign income tax paid by the Fund due to certain limitations that may apply.
      Tax credit bonds . If the Fund holds, directly or indirectly, one or more “tax credit bonds” (including build America bonds, clean renewable energy bonds and qualified tax credit bonds) on one or more applicable dates during a taxable year, the Fund may elect to permit its shareholders to claim a tax credit on their income tax returns equal to each shareholder’s proportionate share of tax credits from the applicable bonds that otherwise would be allowed to the Fund. In such a case, shareholders must include in gross income (as interest) their proportionate share of the income attributable to their proportionate share of those offsetting tax credits. A shareholder’s ability to claim a tax credit associated with one or more tax credit bonds may be subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. Even if the Fund is eligible to pass through tax credits to shareholders, the Fund may choose not to do so.
      U.S. government interest . Income earned on certain U.S. government obligations is exempt from state and local personal income taxes if earned directly by you. States also grant tax-free status to dividends paid to you from interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S. government, subject in some states to minimum investment or reporting requirements that must be met by the Fund. Income on investments by the Fund in certain other obligations, such as repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government obligations, commercial paper and federal agency-backed obligations (e.g., Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) or Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) obligations) generally does not qualify for tax-free treatment. The rules on exclusion of this income are different for corporations. If the Fund is a fund of funds, see “Taxation of the Fund — Asset allocation funds”.
      Dividends declared in December and paid in January . Ordinarily, shareholders are required to take distributions by the Fund into account in the year in which the distributions are made. However, dividends declared in October, November or December of any year and payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month will be deemed to have been received by the shareholders (and made by the Fund) on December 31 of such calendar year if such dividends are actually paid in January of the following year. Shareholders will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year in accordance with the guidance that has been provided by the IRS.
      Fund Distributions (Invesco Municipal Bond Fund Only) . Invesco Municipal Bond Fund intends to qualify each year to pay exempt-interest dividends by satisfying the requirement that at the close of each quarter of the Fund’s taxable year at least 50% of the Fund’s total assets consists of Municipal Securities, which are exempt from federal income tax.
      Exempt-interest dividends . Distributions from Invesco Municipal Bond Fund will constitute exempt-interest dividends to the extent of the Fund’s tax-exempt interest income (net of allocable expenses and

75


Table of Contents

amortized bond premium). Exempt-interest dividends distributed to shareholders of Invesco Municipal Bond Fund are excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, shareholders required to file a federal income tax return will be required to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends on their returns. Moreover, while exempt-interest dividends are excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, they may be subject to alternative minimum tax (AMT) in certain circumstances and may have other collateral tax consequences as discussed below.
      Distributions of ordinary income and capital gains . Any gain or loss from the sale or other disposition of a tax-exempt security is generally treated as either long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending upon its holding period, and is fully taxable. However, gain recognized from the sale or other disposition of a tax-exempt security purchased after April 30, 1993, will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount on such security. Distributions by the Fund of ordinary income and capital gains will be taxable to shareholders as discussed under “Taxation of Fund Distributions.”
      Alternative minimum tax — private activity bonds . AMT is imposed in addition to, but only to the extent it exceeds, the regular tax and is computed at a maximum rate of 28% for non-corporate taxpayers and 20% for corporate taxpayers on the excess of the taxpayer’s alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI) over an exemption amount. Exempt-interest dividends derived from certain “private activity” Municipal Securities issued after August 7, 1986 will generally constitute an item of tax preference includable in AMTI for both corporate and non-corporate taxpayers. However, under recently enacted provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, tax-exempt interest on private activity bonds issued in 2009 and 2010 is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the AMT. In addition, exempt-interest dividends derived from all Municipal Securities regardless of the date of issue must be included in adjusted current earnings that are used in computing an additional corporate preference item includable in AMTI. Certain small corporations are wholly exempt from the AMT. Consistent with its stated investment objective, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund intends to limit its investments in private activity bonds subject to the AMT to no more than 20% of its total assets in any given year.
      Effect on taxation of social security benefits; denial of interest deduction; “substantial users .” Exempt-interest dividends must be taken into account in computing the portion, if any, of social security or railroad retirement benefits that must be included in an individual shareholder’s gross income subject to federal income tax. Further, a shareholder of Invesco Municipal Bond Fund is denied a deduction for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry shares of the Fund. Moreover, a shareholder who is (or is related to) a “substantial user” of a facility financed by industrial development bonds held by Invesco Municipal Bond Fund will likely be subject to tax on dividends paid by the Fund that are derived from interest on such bonds. Receipt of exempt-interest dividends may result in other collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies and foreign corporations engaged in a trade or business in the United States.
      Exemption from state tax . To the extent that exempt-interest dividends are derived from interest on obligations of a state or its political subdivisions or from interest on qualifying U.S. territorial obligations (including qualifying obligations of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam), they also may be exempt from that state’s personal income taxes. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest on state and municipal securities of other states.
      Failure of a Municipal Security to qualify to pay exempt-interest . Failure of the issuer of a tax-exempt security to comply with certain legal or contractual requirements relating to a Municipal Security could cause interest on the Municipal Security, as well as Fund distributions derived from this interest, to become taxable, perhaps retroactively to the date the Municipal Security was issued. In such a case, the Fund may be required to report to the IRS and send to shareholders amended Forms 1099 for a prior taxable year in order to report additional taxable income. This in turn could require shareholders to

76


Table of Contents

file amended federal and state income tax returns for such prior year to report and pay tax and interest on their pro rata share of the additional amount of taxable income.
      Sale or Redemption of Fund Shares . A shareholder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or redemption of shares of the Fund in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the sale or redemption and the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares. If you owned your shares as a capital asset, any gain or loss that you realize will be considered capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held for longer than one year. Any redemption fees you incur on shares redeemed will decrease the amount of any capital gain (or increase any capital loss) you realize on the sale. Capital losses in any year are deductible only to the extent of capital gains plus, in the case of a noncorporate taxpayer, $3,000 of ordinary income.
      Tax basis information . The Transfer Agent may provide Fund shareholders with information concerning the average cost basis of their shares in order to help them calculate their gain or loss from a sale or redemption. This information is supplied as a convenience to shareholders and will not be reported to the IRS. Although the IRS permits the use of several methods to determine the cost basis of mutual fund shares, the cost basis information provided by the Transfer Agent will be calculated using only the single-category average cost method. Neither the Transfer Agent nor the Fund recommends any particular method of determining cost basis, and the use of other methods may result in more favorable tax consequences for some shareholders. Even if you have reported gains or losses for the Fund in past years using another method of basis determination, you may be able to use the average cost method for determining gains or losses in the current year. However, once you have elected to use the average cost method, you must continue to use it unless you apply to the IRS for permission to change methods. Under recently enacted provisions of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the Fund’s Transfer Agent will be required to provide you with cost basis information on the sale of any of your shares in the Fund, subject to certain exceptions. This cost basis reporting requirement is effective for shares purchased in the Fund on or after January 1, 2012.
      Wash sale rule . All or a portion of any loss so recognized may be deferred under the wash sale rules if the shareholder purchases other shares of the Fund within 30 days before or after the sale or redemption.
      Sales at a loss within six months of purchase . Any capital loss arising from the sale or redemption of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends received on such shares and, in the case of shares in Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, any such loss will be disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends that were received within the six-month period.
      Deferral of basis — any class that bears a front-end sales load . If a shareholder (a) incurs a sales load in acquiring shares of the Fund, (b) disposes of such shares less than 91 days after they are acquired, and (c) subsequently acquires shares of the Fund or another Fund at a reduced sales load pursuant to a right to reinvest at such reduced sales load acquired in connection with the acquisition of the shares disposed of, then the sales load on the shares disposed of (to the extent of the reduction in the sales load on the shares subsequently acquired) shall not be taken into account in determining gain or loss on the shares disposed of, but shall be treated as incurred on the acquisition of the shares subsequently acquired. The wash sale rules may also limit the amount of loss that may be taken into account on disposition after such adjustment.
      Conversion of B shares . The automatic conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares of the same Fund at the end of approximately eight years after purchase will be tax-free for federal income tax purposes.

77


Table of Contents

      Invesco Money Market Fund . Because shares in Invesco Money Market Fund are offered and redeemed at a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, a shareholder will generally recognize neither gain nor loss on a redemption of shares.
      Tax shelter reporting. Under Treasury regulations, if a shareholder recognizes a loss with respect to the Fund’s shares of $2 million or more for an individual shareholder or $10 million or more for a corporate shareholder, the shareholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form 8886.
      Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions . Set forth below is a general description of the tax treatment of certain types of securities, investment techniques and transactions that may apply to a Fund. This section should be read in conjunction with the discussion under “Description of the Funds and their Investments and Risks ¾ Investment Strategies and Risks” for a detailed description of the various types of securities and investment techniques that apply to the Fund.
      In general . In general, gain or loss recognized by a Fund on the sale or other disposition of portfolio investments will be a capital gain or loss. Such capital gain and loss may be long-term or short-term depending, in general, upon the length of time a particular investment position is maintained and, in some cases, upon the nature of the transaction. Property held for more than one year generally will be eligible for long-term capital gain or loss treatment. The application of certain rules described below may serve to alter the manner in which the holding period for a security is determined or may otherwise affect the characterization as long-term or short-term, and also the timing of the realization and/or character, of certain gains or losses.
      Certain fixed-income investments . Gain recognized on the disposition of a debt obligation purchased by a Fund at a market discount (generally, at a price less than its principal amount) will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the portion of the market discount that accrued during the period of time the Fund held the debt obligation unless the Fund made a current inclusion election to accrue market discount into income as it accrues. If a Fund purchases a debt obligation (such as a zero coupon security or pay-in-kind security) that was originally issued at a discount, the Fund is generally required to include in gross income each year the portion of the original issue discount that accrues during such year. Therefore, a Fund’s investment in such securities may cause the Fund to recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives any cash payments on the securities. To generate cash to satisfy those distribution requirements, a Fund may have to sell portfolio securities that it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash flows from other sources such as the sale of Fund shares.
      Investments in debt obligations that are at risk of or in default present tax issues for a Fund . Tax rules are not entirely clear about issues such as whether and to what extent a Fund should recognize market discount on a debt obligation, when the Fund may cease to accrue interest, original issue discount or market discount, when and to what extent the Fund may take deductions for bad debts or worthless securities and how the Fund should allocate payments received on obligations in default between principal and income. These and other related issues will be addressed by a Fund in order to ensure that it distributes sufficient income to preserve its status as a regulated investment company.
      Options, futures, forward contracts, swap agreements and hedging transactions . In general, option premiums received by a Fund are not immediately included in the income of the Fund. Instead, the premiums are recognized when the option contract expires, the option is exercised by the holder, or the Fund transfers or otherwise terminates the option (e.g., through a closing transaction). If an option written by a Fund is exercised and the Fund sells or delivers the underlying stock, the Fund generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to (a) sum of the strike price and the option premium received by the Fund minus (b) the Fund’s basis in the stock. Such gain or loss generally will be short-term or long-term depending upon the holding period of the underlying stock. If securities are purchased by a Fund pursuant to the exercise of a put option written by it, the Fund generally will subtract the premium received from its cost basis in the securities purchased. The gain or loss with respect to any termination

78


Table of Contents

of Fund’s obligation under an option other than through the exercise of the option and related sale or delivery of the underlying stock generally will be short-term gain or loss depending on whether the premium income received by the Fund is greater or less than the amount paid by the Fund (if any) in terminating the transaction. Thus, for example, if an option written by a Fund expires unexercised, the Fund generally will recognize short-term gain equal to the premium received.
     The tax treatment of certain futures contracts entered into by a Fund as well as listed non-equity options written or purchased by the Fund on U.S. exchanges (including options on futures contracts, broad-based equity indices and debt securities) may be governed by section 1256 of the Code (section 1256 contracts). Gains or losses on section 1256 contracts generally are considered 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains or losses (60/40), although certain foreign currency gains and losses from such contracts may be treated as ordinary in character. Also, any section 1256 contracts held by a Fund at the end of each taxable year (and, for purposes of the 4% excise tax, on certain other dates as prescribed under the Code) are “marked to market” with the result that unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they were realized and the resulting gain or loss is treated as ordinary or 60/40 gain or loss, as applicable.
     In addition to the special rules described above in respect of options and futures transactions, a Fund’s transactions in other derivative instruments (including options, forward contracts and swap agreements) as well as its other hedging, short sale, or similar transactions, may be subject to one or more special tax rules (including the constructive sale, notional principal contract, straddle, wash sale and short sale rules). These rules may affect whether gains and losses recognized by a Fund are treated as ordinary or capital or as short-term or long-term, accelerate the recognition of income or gains to the Fund, defer losses to the Fund, and cause adjustments in the holding periods of the Fund’s securities. These rules, therefore, could affect the amount, timing and/or character of distributions to shareholders. Moreover, because the tax rules applicable to derivative financial instruments are in some cases uncertain under current law, an adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS with respect to these rules (which determination or guidance could be retroactive) may affect whether a Fund has made sufficient distributions and otherwise satisfied the relevant requirements to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company and avoid a fund-level tax.
     Certain of a Fund’s investments in derivatives and foreign currency-denominated instruments, and the Fund’s transactions in foreign currencies and hedging activities, may produce a difference between its book income and its taxable income. If a Fund’s book income is less than the sum of its taxable income and net tax-exempt income (if any), the Fund could be required to make distributions exceeding book income to qualify as a regulated investment company. If a Fund’s book income exceeds the sum of its taxable income and net tax-exempt income (if any), the distribution of any such excess will be treated as (i) a dividend to the extent of the Fund’s remaining earnings and profits (including earnings and profits arising from tax-exempt income), (ii) thereafter, as a return of capital to the extent of the recipient’s basis in the shares, and (iii) thereafter, as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset.
      Foreign currency transactions . A Fund’s transactions in foreign currencies, foreign currency-denominated debt obligations and certain foreign currency options, futures contracts and forward contracts (and similar instruments) may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease a Fund’s ordinary income distributions to you, and may cause some or all of the Fund’s previously distributed income to be classified as a return of capital. In certain cases, a Fund may make an election to treat such gain or loss as capital.
      PFIC Investments . A Fund may invest in stocks of foreign companies that may be classified under the Code as PFICs. In general, a foreign company is classified as a PFIC if at least one-half of its assets constitute investment-type assets or 75% or more of its gross income is investment-type income. When investing in PFIC securities, a Fund intends to mark-to-market these securities under certain provisions of the Code and recognize any unrealized gains as ordinary income at the end of the Fund’s fiscal and excise tax years. Deductions for losses are allowable only to the extent of any current or

79


Table of Contents

previously recognized gains. These gains (reduced by allowable losses) are treated as ordinary income that a Fund is required to distribute, even though it has not sold or received dividends from these securities. You should also be aware that the designation of a foreign security as a PFIC security will cause its income dividends to fall outside of the definition of qualified foreign corporation dividends. These dividends generally will not qualify for the reduced rate of taxation on qualified dividends when distributed to you by a Fund. In addition, if a Fund is unable to identify an investment as a PFIC and thus does not make a mark-to-market election, the Fund may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of any “excess distribution” or gain from the disposition of such shares even if such income is distributed as a taxable dividend by the Fund to its shareholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest may be imposed on a Fund in respect of deferred taxes arising from such distributions or gains.
      Investments in non-U.S. REITs . While non-U.S. REITs often use complex acquisition structures that seek to minimize taxation in the source country, an investment by a Fund in a non-U.S. REIT may subject the Fund, directly or indirectly, to corporate taxes, withholding taxes, transfer taxes and other indirect taxes in the country in which the real estate acquired by the non-U.S. REIT is located. The Fund’s pro rata share of any such taxes will reduce the Fund’s return on its investment. A Fund’s investment in a non-U.S. REIT may be considered an investment in a PFIC, as discussed above in “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions- PFIC Investments.” Additionally, foreign withholding taxes on distributions from the non-U.S. REIT may be reduced or eliminated under certain tax treaties, as discussed above in “Taxation of the Fund – Foreign income tax.” Also, the Fund in certain limited circumstances may be required to file an income tax return in the source country and pay tax on any gain realized from its investment in the non-U.S. REIT under rules similar to those in the United States which tax foreign persons on gain realized from dispositions of interests in U.S. real estate.
      Investments in U.S. REITs. A U.S. REIT is not subject to federal income tax on the income and gains it distributes to shareholders. Dividends paid by a U.S. REIT, other than capital gain distributions, will be taxable as ordinary income up to the amount of the U.S. REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Capital gain dividends paid by a U.S. REIT to a Fund will be treated as long term capital gains by the Fund and, in turn, may be distributed by the Fund to its shareholders as a capital gain distribution. Because of certain noncash expenses, such as property depreciation, an equity U.S. REIT’s cash flow may exceed its taxable income. The equity U.S. REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders in the form of a return of capital distribution. However, if a U.S. REIT is operated in a manner that fails to qualify as a REIT, an investment in the U.S. REIT would become subject to double taxation, meaning the taxable income of the U.S. REIT would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for dividends paid to shareholders and the dividends would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income (or possibly as qualified dividend income) to the extent of the U.S. REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Also, see “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions ¾ Investment in taxable mortgage pools (excess inclusion Income)” and “Foreign Shareholders ¾ U.S. withholding tax at the source” with respect to certain other tax aspects of investing in U.S. REITs.
      Investment in taxable mortgage pools (excess inclusion Income). Under a Notice issued by the IRS, the Code and Treasury regulations to be issued, a portion of a Fund’s income from a U.S. REIT that is attributable to the REIT’s residual interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs) or equity interests in a “taxable mortgage pool” (referred to in the Code as an excess inclusion) will be subject to federal income tax in all events. The excess inclusion income of a regulated investment company, such as a Fund, will be allocated to shareholders of the regulated investment company in proportion to the dividends received by such shareholders, with the same consequences as if the shareholders held the related REMIC residual interest or, if applicable, taxable mortgage pool directly. In general, excess inclusion income allocated to shareholders (i) cannot be offset by net operating losses (subject to a limited exception for certain thrift institutions), (ii) will constitute unrelated business taxable income to entities (including a qualified pension plan, an individual retirement account, a 401(k) plan, a Keogh plan or other tax-exempt entity) subject to tax on unrelated business income (UBTI), thereby potentially requiring such an entity that is allocated excess inclusion income, and otherwise might not be required to file a tax return, to file a tax return and pay tax on such income, and

(iii) in the case of a foreign stockholder, will not qualify for any reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax. In addition, if at any time during any taxable year a “disqualified organization” (which generally includes certain cooperatives, governmental entities, and tax-exempt organizations not subject to UBTI) is a record holder of a share in a regulated investment company, then the regulated investment company will be subject to a tax equal to that portion of its excess inclusion income for the taxable year that is allocable to the disqualified organization, multiplied by the highest federal income tax rate imposed on corporations. The Notice imposes certain reporting requirements upon regulated investment companies that have excess inclusion income. There can be no assurance that a Fund will not allocate to shareholders excess inclusion income.
     These rules are potentially applicable to a Fund with respect to any income it receives from the equity interests of certain mortgage pooling vehicles, either directly or, as is more likely, through an investment in a U.S. REIT. It is unlikely that these rules will apply to a Fund that has a non-REIT strategy.
      Investments in partnerships and qualified publicly traded partnerships (QPTP) . For purposes of the Income Requirement, income derived by a Fund from a partnership that is not a QPTP will be treated as qualifying income only to the extent such income is attributable to items of income of the partnership that would be qualifying income if realized directly by the Fund. For purposes of testing whether a Fund satisfies the Asset Diversification Test, the Fund is generally treated as owning a pro rata share of the underlying assets of a partnership. See. “Taxation of The Fund — Qualification as a regulated investment company.” In contrast different fules apply to a partnership that is a QPTP. A QPTP is (generally, a partnership (a) the interests in which are traded on an established securities market, (b) that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and (c) that derives less than 90% of its income from sources that satisfy the Income Requirement (i.e., because it invests in commodities). All of the net income derived by a Fund from an interest in a QPTP will be treated as qualifying income but the Fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in one or more QPTPs. However, there can be no assurance that a partnership classified as a QPTP in one year will qualify as a QPTP in the next year. Any such failure to annually qualify as a QPTP might, in turn, cause a Fund to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company.
      Investments in commodities — structured notes, corporate subsidiary and certain ETFs . Gains from the disposition of commodities, including precious metals, will neither be considered qualifying income for purposes of satisfying the Income Requirement nor qualifying assets for purposes of satisfying the Asset Diversification Test. See, “Taxation of the Fund — Qualification as a regulated investment company.” Also, the IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes of the Income Requirement. However, in a subsequent revenue ruling, the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create commodity exposure, such as certain commodity index-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be considered qualifying income under the Code. In addition, a Fund may gain exposure to commodities through investment in QPTPs such as an exchange-traded fund or ETF that is classified as a partnership and which invests in commodities. Accordingly, the extent to which a Fund invests in commodities or commodity-linked derivatives may be limited by the Income Requirement and the Asset Diversification Test, which the Fund must continue to satisfy to maintain its status as a regulated investment company. A Fund also may be limited in its ability to sell its investments in commodities, commodity-linked derivatives, and certain ETFs or be forced to sell other investments to generate income due to the Income Requirement.
      Securities Lending . While securities are loaned out by a Fund, the Fund will generally receive from the borrower amounts equal to any dividends or interest paid on the borrowed securities. For federal income tax purposes, payments made “in lieu of” dividends are not considered dividend income. These distributions will neither qualify for the reduced rate of taxation for individuals on qualified dividends nor the 70% dividends received deduction for corporations. Also, any foreign tax withheld on payments made “in lieu of” dividends or interest will not qualify for the pass-through of foreign tax credits to shareholders. Additionally, in the case of a Fund with a strategy of investing in tax-exempt securities,

81


Table of Contents

any payments made “in lieu of” tax-exempt interest will be considered taxable income to the Fund, and thus, to the investors, even though such interest may be tax-exempt when paid to the borrower.
      Investments in convertible securities . Convertible debt is ordinarily treated as a “single property” consisting of a pure debt interest until conversion, after which the investment becomes an equity interest. If the security is issued at a premium (i.e., for cash in excess of the face amount payable on retirement), the creditor-holder may amortize the premium over the life of the bond. If the security is issued for cash at a price below its face amount, the creditor-holder must accrue original issue discount in income over the life of the debt. The creditor-holder’s exercise of the conversion privilege is treated as a nontaxable event. Mandatorily convertible debt (e.g., an exchange traded note or ETN issued in the form of an unsecured obligation that pays a return based on the performance of a specified market index, exchange currency, or commodity) is often, but not always, treated as a contract to buy or sell the reference property rather than debt. Similarly, convertible preferred stock with a mandatory conversion feature is ordinarily, but not always, treated as equity rather than debt. Dividends received generally are qualified dividend income and eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction. In general, conversion of preferred stock for common stock of the same corporation is tax-free. Conversion of preferred stock for cash is a taxable redemption. Any redemption premium for preferred stock that is redeemable by the issuing company might be required to be amortized under original issue discount (OID) principles.
      Tax Certification and Backup Withholding. Tax certification and backup withholding tax laws require that you certify your tax information when you become an investor in the Fund. For U.S. citizens and resident aliens, this certification is made on IRS Form W-9. Under these laws, the Fund must withhold a portion of your taxable distributions and sales proceeds unless you:
    provide your correct Social Security or taxpayer identification number,
 
    certify that this number is correct,
 
    certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, and
 
    certify that you are a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien).
     The Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 28% of any distributions or proceeds paid. This rate will expire and the backup withholding tax rate will be 31% for amounts paid after December 31, 2010, unless Congress enacts tax legislation providing otherwise. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against the shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the appropriate information is furnished to the IRS.
     Non-U.S. investors have special U.S. tax certification requirements. See “Foreign Shareholders ¾ Tax certification and backup withholding.”
      Foreign Shareholders. Shareholders who, as to the United States, are nonresident alien individuals, foreign trusts or estates, foreign corporations, or foreign partnerships (foreign shareholder), may be subject to U.S. withholding and estate tax and are subject to special U.S. tax certification requirements.
     Taxation of a foreign shareholder depends on whether the income from the Fund is “effectively connected” with a U.S. trade or business carried on by such shareholder.
      U.S. withholding tax at the source . If the income from the Fund is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on by a foreign shareholder, distributions to such shareholder will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate) upon the gross amount of the distribution, subject to certain exemptions including those for dividends designated by the Fund as:

82


Table of Contents

    exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund from its net interest income earned on municipal securities;
 
    capital gain dividends paid by the Fund from its net long-term capital gains (other than those from disposition of a U.S. real property interest), unless you are a nonresident alien present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year; and
 
    with respect to taxable years of the Fund beginning before January 1, 2010 (unless such sunset date is extended, possibly retroactively to January 1, 2010, or made permanent), interest-related dividends paid by the Fund from its qualified net interest income from U.S. sources and short-term capital gains dividends.
     However, the Fund does not intend to utilize the exemptions for interest-related dividends paid and short-term capital gain dividends paid. Moreover, notwithstanding such exemptions from U.S. withholding at the source, any dividends and distributions of income and capital gains, including the proceeds from the sale of your Fund shares, will be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% if you fail to properly certify that you are not a U.S. person.
     Foreign shareholders may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% on the income resulting from an election to pass-through foreign tax credits to shareholders, but may not be able to claim a credit or deduction with respect to the withholding tax for the foreign tax treated as having been paid by them.
     Amounts designated by the Fund as capital gain dividends (a) that are attributable to certain capital gain dividends received from a qualified investment entity (QIE) (generally defined as either (i) a U.S. REIT or (ii) a RIC classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” or which would be if the exceptions for holding 5% or less of a class of publicly traded shares or an interest in a domestically controlled QIE did not apply) or (b) that are realized by the Fund on the sale of a “U.S. real property interest” (including gain realized on sale of shares in a QIE other than one that is a domestically controlled), will not be exempt from U.S. federal income tax and may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate) if the Fund by reason of having a REIT strategy is classified as a QIE. If the Fund is so classified, foreign shareholders owning more than 5% of the Fund’s shares may be treated as realizing gain from the disposition of a U.S. real property interest, causing Fund distributions to be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 35%, and requiring the filing of a nonresident U.S. income tax return. In addition, if the Fund is classified as a QIE, anti-avoidance rules apply to certain wash sale transactions. Namely, if the Fund is a QIE and a foreign shareholder disposes of the Fund’s shares prior to the Fund paying a distribution attributable to the disposition of a U.S. real property interest and the foreign shareholder later acquires an identical stock interest in a wash sale transaction, the foreign shareholder may still be required to pay U.S. tax on the Fund’s distribution. Also, the sale of shares of the Fund, if classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation,” could also be considered a sale of a U.S. real property interest with any resulting gain from such sale being subject to U.S. tax as income “effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.” These rules generally apply to dividends paid by the Fund before January 1, 2010 (unless such sunset date is extended, possibly retroactively to January 1, 2010, or made permanent) except that, after such sunset date, Fund distributions from a U.S REIT (whether or not domestically controlled) attributable to gain from the disposition of a U.S. real property interest will continue to be subject to the withholding rules described above provided the Fund is classified as a QIE.
      Income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business . If the income from the Fund is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on by a foreign shareholder, then ordinary income dividends, capital gain dividends and any gains realized upon the sale or redemption of shares of the Fund will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. citizens or domestic corporations and require the filing of a nonresident U.S. income tax return.

83


Table of Contents

      Tax certification and back-up withholding . Foreign shareholders have special U.S. tax certification requirements to avoid backup withholding (at a rate of 28%), and if applicable, to obtain the benefit of any income tax treaty between the foreign shareholder’s country of residence and the United States. To claim these tax benefits, the foreign shareholder must provide a properly completed Form W-8BEN (or other Form W-8, where applicable, or their substitute forms) to establish his or her status as a non-U.S. investor, to claim beneficial ownership over the assets in the account, and to claim, if applicable, a reduced rate of or exemption from withholding tax under the applicable treaty. A Form W-8BEN provided without a U.S. taxpayer identification number remains in effect for a period of three years beginning on the date that it is signed and ending on the last day of the third succeeding calendar year. However, non-U.S. investors must advise the Fund of any changes of circumstances that would render the information given on the form incorrect, and must then provide a new W-8BEN to avoid the prospective application of backup withholding. Forms W-8BEN with U.S. taxpayer identification numbers remain valid indefinitely, or until the investor has a change of circumstances that renders the form incorrect and necessitates a new form and tax certification.
      U.S. estate tax . Transfers by gift of shares of the Fund by a foreign shareholder who is a nonresident alien individual will not be subject to U.S. federal gift tax. As of the date of this Registration Statement, the U.S. federal estate tax is repealed for one year for decedents dying on or after January 1, 2010 and before January 1, 2011, unless reinstated earlier, possibly retroactively to January 1, 2010. On or after the date the U.S. estate tax is reinstated, an individual who, at the time of death, is a foreign shareholder will nevertheless be subject to U.S. federal estate tax with respect to shares at the graduated rates applicable to U.S. citizens and residents, unless a treaty exception applies. If a treaty exemption is available, a decedent’s estate may nonetheless need to file a U.S. estate tax return to claim the exemption in order to obtain a U.S. federal transfer certificate. The transfer certificate will identify the property (i.e., Fund shares) as to which the U.S. federal estate tax lien has been released. In the absence of a treaty, there is a $13,000 statutory estate tax credit (equivalent to an estate with assets of $60,000). Estates of nonresident alien shareholders dying after December 31, 2004 and before January 1, 2010 will be able to exempt from federal estate tax the proportion of the value of the Fund’s shares attributable to “qualifying assets” held by the Fund at the end of the quarter immediately preceding the nonresident alien shareholder’s death (or such other time as the IRS may designate in regulations). Qualifying assets include bank deposits and other debt obligations that pay interest or accrue original issue discount that is exempt from withholding tax, debt obligations of a domestic corporation that are treated as giving rise to foreign source income, and other investments that are not treated for tax purposes as being within the United States.
Local Tax Considerations . Rules of state and local taxation of ordinary income, qualified dividend income and capital gain dividends may differ from the rules for U.S. federal income taxation described above. Distributions may also be subject to additional state, local and foreign taxes depending on each shareholder’s particular situation.
DISTRIBUTION OF SECURITIES
Distributor
     The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements, as amended, relating to the Funds (the Distribution Agreements) with Invesco Distributors, Inc., a registered broker-dealer and a wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco, pursuant to which Invesco Distributors acts as the distributor of shares of the Funds. The address of Invesco Distributors is P.O. Box 4739, Houston, Texas 77210-4739. Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are affiliated with Invesco Distributors. See “Management of the Trust.” In addition to the Funds, Invesco Distributors serves as distributor to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors. The following Distribution of Securities information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail and/or institutional share classes. Not all Invesco Funds offer all share classes.

Table of Contents

     The Distribution Agreements provide Invesco Distributors with the exclusive right to distribute shares of the Funds on a continuous basis directly and through other broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries with whom Invesco Distributors has entered into selected dealer and/or similar agreements. Invesco Distributors has not undertaken to sell any specified number of shares of any classes of the Funds.
     Invesco Distributors expects to pay sales commissions from its own resources to dealers and institutions who sell Class C and Class R shares of the Funds at the time of such sales. Invesco Distributors or its predecessor has paid sales commissions from its own resources to dealers who sold Class B shares of the Funds at the time of such sales.
     Payments for Class B shares equaled 4.00% of the purchase price of the Class B shares sold by the dealer or institution, consisting of a sales commission equal to 3.75% of the purchase price of the Class B shares sold plus an advance of the first year service fee of 0.25% for such shares. The portion of the payments to Invesco Distributors under the Class B Plan that constitutes an asset-based sales charge (0.75%) is intended in part to permit Invesco Distributors to recoup a portion of such sales commissions plus financing costs.
     Invesco Distributors may pay sales commissions to dealers and institutions who sell Class C shares of the Invesco Funds at the time of such sales. Payments for Class C shares equal 1.00% of the purchase price of the Class C shares sold by the dealer or institution, consisting of a sales commission of 0.75% of the purchase price of the Class C shares sold plus an advance of the first year service fee of 0.25% for such shares. Invesco Distributors will retain all payments received by it relating to Class C shares for the first year after they are purchased. The portion of the payments to Invesco Distributors under the Class C Plan that constitutes an asset-based sales charge (0.75%) is intended in part to permit Invesco Distributors to recoup a portion of the sales commissions to dealers plus financing costs, if any. After the first full year, Invesco Distributors will make quarterly payments to dealers and institutions based on the average net asset value of Class C shares that are attributable to shareholders for whom the dealers and institutions are designated as dealers of record. These payments will consist of an asset-based sales charge of 0.75% and a service fee of 0.25%.
     Invesco Distributors may pay dealers and institutions who sell Class R shares an annual fee of 0.50% of average daily net assets. These payments will consist of an asset-based fee of 0.25% and a service fee of 0.25% and will commence either on the thirteenth month after the first purchase, on accounts on which a dealer concession was paid, or immediately, on accounts on which a dealer concession was not paid. If Invesco Distributors pays a dealer concession, it will retain all payments received by it relating to Class R shares for the first year after they are purchased. Invesco Distributors will make quarterly payments to dealers and institutions based on the average net asset value of Class R shares that are attributable to shareholders for whom the dealers and institutions are designated as dealers of record.
     The Trust (on behalf of any class of any Fund) or Invesco Distributors may terminate the Distribution Agreements on 60 days’ written notice without penalty. The Distribution Agreements will terminate automatically in the event of their assignment. In the event the Class B shares Distribution Agreement is terminated, Invesco Distributors would continue to receive payments of asset-based distribution fees in respect of the outstanding Class B shares attributable to the distribution efforts of Invesco Distributors or its predecessors; provided, however that a complete termination of the Class B Plan (as defined in such Plan) would terminate all payments to Invesco Distributors. Termination of the Class B Plan or the Distribution Agreement for Class B shares would not affect the obligation of Class B shareholders to pay CDSCs.
     Total sales charges (front end and CDSCs) paid in connection with the sale of shares of each class of each Fund, if applicable, for the last three fiscal years ended July 31, 2009 and most recent fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, are found in Appendix M.

*   Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
     Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund pursuant to its Investor Class Plan, pay Invesco Distributors an amount necessary to reimburse Invesco Distributors for its actual allocated share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Investor Class Plan for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class shares of the Fund.
     All of the Plans compensate or reimburse Invesco Distributors, as applicable, for the purpose of financing any activity which is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Funds. Such activities include, but are not limited to, the following: printing of prospectuses and statements of additional information and reports for other than existing shareholders; overhead; preparation and distribution of advertising material and sales literature; expenses of organizing and conducting sales seminars; supplemental payments to dealers and other institutions such as asset-based sales charges or as payments of service fees under shareholder service arrangements; and costs of administering each Plan.
     Amounts payable by a Fund under the Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares for Invesco Money Market Fund), Class A2, Class B, Class C and Class R Plans need not be directly related to the expenses actually incurred by Invesco Distributors on behalf of each Fund. These Plans do not obligate the Funds to reimburse Invesco Distributors for the actual allocated share of expenses Invesco Distributors may incur in fulfilling its obligations under these Plans. Thus, even if Invesco Distributors’

86


Table of Contents

actual allocated share of expenses exceeds the fee payable to Invesco Distributors at any given time, under these plans the Funds will not be obligated to pay more than that fee. If Invesco Distributors’ actual allocated share of expenses is less than the fee it receives, under these plans Invesco Distributors will retain the full amount of the fee.
     Amounts payable by Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund under its Investor Class Plan are directly related to the expenses incurred by Invesco Distributors on behalf of the Fund, as this Plan obligates the Fund to reimburse Invesco Distributors for its actual allocated share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Investor Class Plan for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class shares of the Fund. If Invesco Distributors’ actual allocated share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Investor Class Plan for the period exceeds the 0.25% annual cap, under this Plan Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund will not be obligated to pay more than the 0.25% annual cap. If Invesco Distributors’ actual allocated share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Investor Class Plan for the period is less than the 0.25% annual cap, under this Plan Invesco Distributors is entitled to be reimbursed only for its actual allocated share of expenses.
     Invesco Distributors may from time to time waive or reduce any portion of its 12b-1 fee for Class A, Class A2, Class C, Class R or Investor Class shares. Voluntary fee waivers or reductions may be rescinded at any time without further notice to investors. During periods of voluntary fee waivers or reductions, Invesco Distributors will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee prior to the end of each fiscal year. Contractual fee waivers or reductions set forth in the Fee Table in a Prospectus may not be terminated or amended to the Fund’s detriment during the period stated in the agreement between Invesco Distributors and the Fund.
     Invesco Distributors has also contractually agreed through June 30, 2011, to waive 0.50% of average net assets of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund’s Class C shares Rule 12b-1 distribution plan payments. The contractual fee waiver is set forth in the Fee Table to the Fund’s Prospectus and may not be terminated or amended to the Fund’s detriment during the period stated in the agreement between Invesco Distributors and the Fund.
     The Funds may pay a service fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class A2, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares (0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund), as applicable, attributable to the customers of selected dealers and financial institutions to such dealers and financial institutions, including Invesco Distributors, acting as principal, who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to their customers who purchase and own the applicable class of shares of the Fund. Under the terms of a shareholder service agreement, such personal shareholder services include responding to customer inquiries and providing customers with information about their investments. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under each Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge.
     Invesco Distributors may pay dealers and institutions who sell Class R shares an annual fee of 0.50% of average daily net assets. These payments will consist of an asset-based fee of 0.25% and a service fee of 0.25% and will commence either on the thirteenth month after the first purchase, on accounts on which a dealer concession was paid, or immediately, on accounts on which a dealer concession was not paid. If Invesco Distributors pays a dealer concession, it will retain all payments received by it relating to Class R shares for the first year after they are purchased. Invesco Distributors will make quarterly payments to dealers and institutions based on the average net asset value of Class R shares which are attributable to shareholders for whom the dealers and institutions are designated as dealers of record.
     Under a Shareholder Service Agreement, a Fund agrees to pay periodically fees to selected dealers and other institutions who render the foregoing services to their customers. The fees payable

87


Table of Contents

under a Shareholder Service Agreement will be calculated at the end of each payment period for each business day of the Funds during such period at the annual rate specified in each agreement based on the average daily net asset value of the Funds’ shares purchased or acquired through exchange. Fees shall be paid only to those selected dealers or other institutions who are dealers or institutions of record at the close of business on the last business day of the applicable payment period for the account in which such Fund’s shares are held.
     Selected dealers and other institutions entitled to receive compensation for selling Fund shares may receive different compensation for selling shares of one particular class over another. Under the Plans, certain financial institutions which have entered into service agreements and which sell shares of the Funds on an agency basis, may receive payments from the Funds pursuant to the respective Plans. Invesco Distributors does not act as principal, but rather as agent for the Funds, in making dealer incentive and shareholder servicing payments to dealers and other financial institutions under the Plans. These payments are an obligation of the Funds and not of Invesco Distributors.
     Payments pursuant to the Plans are subject to any applicable limitations imposed by rules of FINRA.
     See Appendix N for a list of the amounts paid by each class of shares of each Fund to Invesco Distributors pursuant to the Plans for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 and Appendix O for an estimate by category of the allocation of actual fees paid by each class of shares of each Fund pursuant to its respective distribution plan for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010.
     As required by Rule 12b-1, the Plans and related forms of Shareholder Service Agreements were approved by the Board, including a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plans or in any agreements related to the Plans (the “Rule 12b-1 Trustees”). In approving the Plans in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1, the trustees considered various factors and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plans would benefit each class of the Funds and its respective shareholders.
     The anticipated benefits that may result from the Plans with respect to each Fund and/or the classes of each Fund and its shareholders include but are not limited to the following: (1) rapid account access; (2) relatively predictable flow of cash; and (3) a well-developed, dependable network of shareholder service agents to help to curb sharp fluctuations in rates of redemptions and sales, thereby reducing the chance that an unanticipated increase in net redemptions could adversely affect the performance of each Fund.
     Unless terminated earlier in accordance with their terms, the Plans continue from year to year as long as such continuance is specifically approved, in person, at least annually by the Board, including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees. A Plan may be terminated as to any Fund or class by the vote of a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees or, with respect to a particular class, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that class.
     Any change in the Plans that would increase materially the distribution expenses paid by the applicable class requires shareholder approval; otherwise, the Plans may be amended by the trustees, including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, by votes cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting upon such amendment. As long as the Plans are in effect, the selection or nomination of the Independent Trustees is committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees.
     The Class B Plan obligates Class B shares to continue to make payments to Invesco Distributors following termination of the Class B shares Distribution Agreement with respect to Class B shares sold by or attributable to the distribution efforts of Invesco Distributors or its predecessors, unless there has been a complete termination of the Class B Plan (as defined in such Plan) and the

Class B Plan expressly authorizes Invesco Distributors to assign, transfer or pledge its rights to payments pursuant to the Class B Plan.

PENDING LITIGATION
      Settled Enforcement Actions Related to Market Timing
     On October 8, 2004, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (IFG) (the former investment adviser to certain Invesco Funds), Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco), successor by merger to Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. and Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors), formerly Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc., reached final settlements with certain regulators, including the SEC, the New York Attorney General and the Colorado Attorney General, to resolve civil enforcement actions and/or investigations related to market timing and related activity in the Invesco Funds, including those formerly advised by IFG. As part of the settlements, a $325 million fair fund ($110 million of which is civil penalties) was created to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds formerly advised by IFG. Additionally, Invesco and Invesco Distributors created a $50 million fair fund ($30 million of which is civil penalties) to compensate shareholders harmed by market timing and related activity in funds advised by Invesco, which was done pursuant to the terms of the settlements. The methodology of the fair funds distributions was determined by Invesco’s independent distribution consultant (IDC Plan), in consultation with Invesco and the independent trustees of the Invesco Funds, and approved by the staff of the SEC. Further details regarding the IDC Plan and distributions thereunder are available under the “About Us – Legal Information – SEC Settlement” section of Invesco’s Web site, available at http://www.invesco.com . Invesco’s Web site is not a part of this Statement of Additional Information or the prospectus of any Invesco Fund.
      Regulatory Action Alleging Market Timing
     On August 30, 2005, the West Virginia Office of the State Auditor — Securities Commission (WVASC) issued a Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing to Invesco and Invesco Distributors (Order No. 05-1318). The WVASC makes findings of fact that Invesco and Invesco Distributors entered into certain arrangements permitting market timing of the Invesco Funds and failed to disclose these arrangements in the prospectuses for such Funds, and conclusions of law to the effect that Invesco and Invesco Distributors violated the West Virginia securities laws. The WVASC orders Invesco and Invesco Distributors to cease any further violations and seeks to impose monetary sanctions, including restitution to affected investors, disgorgement of fees, reimbursement of investigatory, administrative and legal costs and an “administrative assessment,” to be determined by the Commissioner. Initial research indicates that these damages could be limited or capped by statute. By agreement with the Commissioner of Securities, Invesco’s time to respond to that Order has been indefinitely suspended.

      Private Civil Actions Alleging Market Timing
     Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain Invesco Funds, IFG, Invesco, Invesco Management Group, Inc., formerly Invesco Aim Management Group, Inc., and certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain unrelated third parties) based on allegations of improper market timing, and related activity in the Invesco Funds. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iv) breach of contract. These lawsuits were initiated in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; injunctive relief; disgorgement of management fees; imposition of a constructive trust; removal of certain directors and/or employees; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds’ advisory agreements; interest; and attorneys’ and experts’ fees. All lawsuits based on allegations of market timing, late trading, and related issues have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the MDL Court) for consolidated or coordinated pre-trial proceedings. Pursuant to an Order of the MDL Court, plaintiffs in these lawsuits consolidated their claims for pre-trial purposes into three amended complaints against various Invesco — and IFG-related parties. The parties in the amended complaints have agreed in principle to settle the actions. A list identifying the amended complaints in the MDL Court and details of the settlements are included in Appendix P-1.

APPENDIX A
RATINGS OF DEBT SECURITIES
     The following is a description of the factors underlying the debt ratings of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch.
Moody’s Long-Term Debt Ratings
      Aaa: Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk.
      Aa: Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
      A: Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
      Baa: Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
      Ba: Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk.
      B: Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.
      Caa: Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
      Ca: Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.
      C: Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
     Note: Moody’s applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.
Moody’s Short-Term Prime Rating System
P-1
Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-1 have a superior ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
P-2
Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-2 have a strong ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
P-3
Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.

A-1


Table of Contents

NP (Not Prime)
Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.
Note: In addition, in certain countries the prime rating may be modified by the issuer’s or guarantor’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating.
     Moody’s municipal ratings are as follows:
Moody’s U.S. Long-Term Municipal Bond Rating Definitions
     Municipal Ratings are opinions of the investment quality of issuers and issues in the US municipal and tax-exempt markets. As such, these ratings incorporate Moody’s assessment of the default probability and loss severity of these issuers and issues.
     Municipal Ratings are based upon the analysis of four primary factors relating to municipal finance: economy, debt, finances, and administration/management strategies. Each of the factors is evaluated individually and for its effect on the other factors in the context of the municipality’s ability to repay its debt.
      Aaa: Issuers or issues rated Aaa demonstrate the strongest creditworthiness relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.
      Aa: Issuers or issues rated Aa demonstrate very strong creditworthiness relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.
      A: Issuers or issues rated A present above-average creditworthiness relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.
      Baa: Issuers or issues rated Baa represent average creditworthiness relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.
      Ba: Issuers or issues rated Ba demonstrate below-average creditworthiness relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.
      B: Issuers or issues rated B demonstrate weak creditworthiness relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.
      Caa: Issuers or issues rated Caa demonstrate very weak creditworthiness relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.
      Ca: Issuers or issues rated Ca demonstrate extremely weak creditworthiness relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.
      C : Issuers or issues rated C demonstrate the weakest creditworthiness relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.
     Note: Also, Moody’s applied numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating classification from Aa to Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the issue ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic category.
Moody’s MIG/VMIG US Short-Term Ratings
     In municipal debt issuance, there are three rating categories for short-term obligations that are considered investment grade. These ratings are designated as Moody’s Investment Grade (MIG) and are divided into three levels – MIG 1 through MIG 3.

A-2


Table of Contents

     In addition, those short-term obligations that are of speculative quality are designated SG, or speculative grade.
     In the case of variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs), a two-component rating is assigned. The first element represents Moody’s evaluation of the degree of risk associated with scheduled principal and interest payments. The second element represents Moody’s evaluation of the degree of risk associated with the demand feature, using the MIG rating scale.
     The short-term rating assigned to the demand feature of VRDOs is designated as VMIG. When either the long- or short-term aspect of a VRDO is not rated, that piece is designated NR, e.g., Aaa/NR or NR/VMIG 1.
     MIG ratings expire at note maturity. By contrast, VMIG rating expirations will be a function of each issue’s specific structural or credit features.
     Gradations of investment quality are indicated by rating symbols, with each symbol representing a group in which the quality characteristics are broadly the same.
      MIG 1/VMIG 1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
      MIG 2/VMIG 2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample although not as large as in the preceding group.
      MIG 3/VMIG 3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash flow protection may be narrow and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well established.
      SG: This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
Standard & Poor’s Long-Term Corporate and Municipal Ratings
     Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following considerations: likelihood of payment – capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation; nature of and provisions of the obligation; and protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’ rights.
     The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority in bankruptcy, as noted above.
     S&P describes its ratings for corporate and municipal bonds as follows:
      AAA: Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
      AA: Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs from the highest rated issues only in a small degree.
      A: Debt rated A has a strong capacity to meet its financial commitments although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

A-3


Table of Contents

      BBB: Debt rated BBB exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
      BB-B-CCC-CC-C: Debt rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C is regarded as having significant speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal. BB indicates the least degree of speculation and C the highest. While such debt will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.
      D: Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when payments on an obligation, including a regulatory capital instrument, are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period.
      NR: Not Rated.
      Plus (+) or minus (-): Ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major categories.
S&P Dual Ratings
     S&P assigns “dual” ratings to all debt issues that have a put option or demand feature as part of their structure.
     The first rating addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest as due, and the second rating addresses only the demand feature. The long-term debt rating symbols are used for bonds to denote the long-term maturity and the commercial paper rating symbols for the put option (for example, AAA/A-1+). With short-term demand debt, the not rating symbols are used with the commercial paper rating symbols (for example, SP-1+/A-1+).
S&P Commercial Paper Ratings
     An S&P commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days.
     These categories are as follows:
      A-1: This highest category indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+) designation.
      A-2: Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1 .
      A-3: Issues carrying this designation have adequate capacity for timely payment. They are, however, more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.
      B: Issues rated “B” are regarded as having only speculative capacity for timely payment.
      C: This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with a doubtful capacity for payment.

A-4


Table of Contents

      D: Debt rated “D” is in payment default. The “D” rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date due, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor’s believes such payments will be made during such grace period.
S&P Short-Term Municipal Ratings
     An S&P note rating reflect the liquidity factors and market-access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in making that assessment: amortization schedule (the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note); and source of payment (the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note).
     Note rating symbols are as follows:
      SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.
      SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.
      SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.
Fitch Long-Term Credit Ratings
     Fitch Ratings provides an opinion on the ability of an entity or of a securities issue to meet financial commitments, such as interest, preferred dividends, or repayment of principal, on a timely basis. These credit ratings apply to a variety of entities and issues, including but not limited to sovereigns, governments, structured financings, and corporations; debt, preferred/preference stock, bank loans, and counterparties; as well as the financial strength of insurance companies and financial guarantors.
     Credit ratings are used by investors as indications of the likelihood of getting their money back in accordance with the terms on which they invested. Thus, the use of credit ratings defines their function: “investment grade” ratings (international Long-term “AAA” – “BBB” categories; Short-term “F1” – “F3”) indicate a relatively low probability of default, while those in the “speculative” or “non-investment grade” categories (international Long-term “BB” – “D”; Short-term “B” – “D”) either signal a higher probability of default or that a default has already occurred. Ratings imply no specific prediction of default probability. However, for example, it is relevant to note that over the long term, defaults on “AAA” rated U.S. corporate bonds have averaged less than 0.10% per annum, while the equivalent rate for “BBB” rated bonds was 0.35%, and for “B” rated bonds, 3.0%.
     Fitch ratings do not reflect any credit enhancement that may be provided by insurance policies or financial guaranties unless otherwise indicated.
     Entities or issues carrying the same rating are of similar but not necessarily identical credit quality since the rating categories do not fully reflect small differences in the degrees of credit risk.
     Fitch credit and research are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature of taxability of payments of any security.
     The ratings are based on information obtained from issuers, other obligors, underwriters, their experts, and other sources Fitch Ratings believes to be reliable. Fitch Ratings does not audit or verify the truth or accuracy of such information. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or the unavailability of, information or for other reasons.

A-5


Table of Contents

     Our program ratings relate only to standard issues made under the program concerned; it should not be assumed that these ratings apply to every issue made under the program. In particular, in the case of non-standard issues, i.e., those that are linked to the credit of a third party or linked to the performance of an index, ratings of these issues may deviate from the applicable program rating.
     Credit ratings do not directly address any risk other than credit risk. In particular, these ratings do not deal with the risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and other market considerations.
      AAA: Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality. The obligor has an exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, which is unlikely to be affected by foreseeable events.
      AA: Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The obligor has a very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments which is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
      A: Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.
      BBB: Bonds considered to be investment grade and of good credit quality. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances are more likely to impair this capacity.
      Plus (+) Minus (-): Plus and minus signs are used with a rating symbol to indicate the relative position of a credit within the rating category. Plus and minus signs, however, are not used in the “AAA” category.
      NR: Indicates that Fitch does not rate the specific issue.
      Withdrawn: A rating will be withdrawn when an issue matures or is called or refinanced and at Fitch’s discretion, when Fitch Ratings deems the amount of information available to be inadequate for ratings purposes.
      RatingWatch: Ratings are placed on RatingWatch to notify investors that there is a reasonable possibility of a rating change and the likely direction of such change. These are designated as “Positive,” indicating a potential upgrade, “Negative,” for potential downgrade, or “Evolving,” if ratings may be raised, lowered or maintained. RatingWatch is typically resolved over a relatively short period.
Fitch Speculative Grade Bond Ratings
      BB: Bonds are considered speculative. There is a possibility of credit risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic changes over time. However, business and financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met .
      B: Bonds are considered highly speculative. Significant credit risk is present but a limited margin of safety remains. While bonds in this class are currently meeting financial commitments, the capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
      CCC: Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or economic developments.
      CC: Default of some kind appears probable.
      C: Bonds are in imminent default in payment of interest or principal.

A-6


Table of Contents

      DDD, DD, and D: Bonds are in default on interest and/or principal payments. Such bonds are extremely speculative and are valued on the basis of their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery value in liquidation or reorganization of the obligor. “DDD” represents the highest potential for recovery on these bonds, and “D” represents the lowest potential for recovery.
      Plus (+) Minus (-): Plus and minus signs are used with a rating symbol to indicate the relative position of a credit within the rating category. Plus and minus signs, however, are not used in categories below CCC.
Fitch Short-Term Credit Ratings
     The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency ratings. A Short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for most obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities, and thus places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial commitments in a timely manner.
      F-1+: Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating are regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.
      F-1-: Very Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than issues rated “F-1+;”
      F-2: Good Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating have a satisfactory degree of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.
      F-3: Fair Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating have characteristics suggesting that the degree of assurance for timely payment is adequate, however, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.
      B: Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
      C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.
      D: Default. Issues assigned this rating are in actual or imminent payment default.

Invesco Aim Proxy Voting Guidelines
(Effective as of April 28, 2009)
The following Invesco Aim Proxy Voting Guidelines are applicable to all funds and other accounts managed by Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc., Invesco Aim Capital Management, Inc and Invesco Aim Private Asset Management, Inc. (collectively, “Invesco Aim”). 1
Introduction
Our Belief
The AIM Funds Boards of Trustees and Invesco Aim’s investment professionals expect a high standard of corporate governance from the companies in our portfolios so that Invesco Aim may fulfill its fiduciary obligation to our fund shareholders and other account holders. Well governed companies are characterized by a primary focus on the interests of shareholders, accountable boards of directors, ample transparency in financial disclosure, performance-driven cultures and appropriate consideration of all stakeholders. Invesco Aim believes well governed companies create greater shareholder wealth over the long term than poorly governed companies, so we endeavor to vote in a manner that increases the value of our investments and fosters good governance within our portfolio companies.
In determining how to vote proxy issues, Invesco Aim considers the probable business consequences of each issue and votes in a manner designed to protect and enhance fund shareholders’ and other account holders’ interests. Our voting decisions are intended to enhance each company’s total shareholder value over Invesco Aim’s typical investment horizon.
Proxy voting is an integral part of Invesco Aim’s investment process. We believe that the right to vote proxies should be managed with the same care as all other elements of the investment process. The objective of Invesco Aim’s proxy-voting activity is to promote good governance and advance the economic interests of our clients. At no time will Invesco Aim exercise its voting power to advance its own commercial interests, to pursue a social or political cause that is unrelated to our clients’ economic interests, or to favor a particular client or business relationship to the detriment of others.
Proxy Administration
The Invesco Aim Proxy Committee (the “Proxy Committee”) consists of members representing Invesco Aim’s Investments, Legal and Compliance departments. Invesco Aim’s Proxy Voting Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) are revised annually by the Proxy Committee, and are approved by the AIM Funds Boards of Trustees. The Proxy Committee implements the Guidelines and oversees proxy voting.
The Proxy Committee has retained outside experts to assist with the analysis and voting of proxy issues. In addition to the advice offered by these experts, Invesco Aim uses information gathered from our own research, company managements, Invesco Aim’s portfolio managers and outside shareholder groups to reach our voting decisions.

Table of Contents

Generally speaking, Invesco Aim’s investment-research process leads us to invest in companies led by management teams we believe have the ability to conceive and execute strategies to outperform their competitors. We select companies for investment based in large part on our assessment of their management teams’ ability to create shareholder wealth. Therefore, in formulating our proxy-voting decisions, Invesco Aim gives proper consideration to the recommendations of a company’s Board of Directors.
Important principles underlying the Invesco Aim Proxy Voting Guidelines
I. Accountability
Management teams of companies are accountable to their boards of directors, and directors of publicly held companies are accountable to their shareholders. Invesco Aim endeavors to vote the proxies of its portfolio companies in a manner that will reinforce the notion of a board’s accountability to its shareholders. Consequently, Invesco Aim votes against any actions that would impair the rights of shareholders or would reduce shareholders’ influence over the board or over management.
The following are specific voting issues that illustrate how Invesco Aim applies this principle of accountability.
    Elections of directors. In uncontested director elections for companies that do not have a controlling shareholder, Invesco Aim votes in favor of slates if they are comprised of at least a majority of independent directors and if the boards’ key committees are fully independent. Key committees include the Audit, Compensation and Governance or Nominating Committees. Invesco Aim’s standard of independence excludes directors who, in addition to the directorship, have any material business or family relationships with the companies they serve.
 
      Contested director elections are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are decided within the context of Invesco Aim’s investment thesis on a company.
 
    Director performance. Invesco Aim withholds votes from directors who exhibit a lack of accountability to shareholders, either through their level of attendance at meetings or by enacting egregious corporate-governance or other policies. In cases of material financial restatements, accounting fraud, habitually late filings, adopting shareholder rights plan (“poison pills”) without shareholder approval, or other areas of poor performance, Invesco Aim may withhold votes from some or all of a company’s directors. In situations where directors’ performance is a concern, Invesco Aim may also support shareholder proposals to take corrective actions such as so-called “clawback” provisions.
 
    Auditors and Audit Committee members. Invesco Aim believes a company’s Audit Committee has a high degree of responsibility to shareholders in matters of financial disclosure, integrity of the financial statements and effectiveness of a company’s internal controls. Independence, experience and financial expertise are critical elements of a well-functioning Audit Committee. When electing directors who are members of a company’s Audit Committee, or when ratifying a company’s auditors, Invesco Aim considers the past performance of the Committee and holds its members accountable for the quality of the company’s financial statements and reports.
 
    Majority standard in director elections. The right to elect directors is the single most important mechanism shareholders have to promote accountability. Invesco Aim supports the nascent effort to reform the U.S. convention of electing directors, and votes in favor of proposals to elect directors by a majority vote.

E-2


Table of Contents

    Classified boards. Invesco Aim supports proposals to elect directors annually instead of electing them to staggered multi-year terms because annual elections increase a board’s level of accountability to its shareholders.
 
    Supermajority voting requirements. Unless proscribed by law in the state of incorporation, Invesco Aim votes against actions that would impose any supermajority voting requirement, and supports actions to dismantle existing supermajority requirements.
 
    Responsiveness. Invesco Aim withholds votes from directors who do not adequately respond to shareholder proposals that were approved by a majority of votes cast the prior year.
 
    Cumulative voting. The practice of cumulative voting can enable minority shareholders to have representation on a company’s board. Invesco Aim supports proposals to institute the practice of cumulative voting at companies whose overall corporate-governance standards indicate a particular need to protect the interests of minority shareholders.
 
    Shareholder access. On business matters with potential financial consequences, Invesco Aim votes in favor of proposals that would increase shareholders’ opportunities to express their views to boards of directors, proposals that would lower barriers to shareholder action and proposals to promote the adoption of generally accepted best practices in corporate governance.
II. Incentives
Invesco Aim believes properly constructed compensation plans that include equity ownership are effective in creating incentives that induce managements and employees of our portfolio companies to create greater shareholder wealth. Invesco Aim supports equity compensation plans that promote the proper alignment of incentives, and votes against plans that are overly dilutive to existing shareholders, plans that contain objectionable structural features, and plans that appear likely to reduce the value of an account’s investment.
Following are specific voting issues that illustrate how Invesco Aim evaluates incentive plans.
    Executive compensation. Invesco Aim evaluates compensation plans for executives within the context of the company’s performance under the executives’ tenure. Invesco Aim believes independent compensation committees are best positioned to craft executive-compensation plans that are suitable for their company-specific circumstances. We view the election of those independent compensation committee members as the appropriate mechanism for shareholders to express their approval or disapproval of a company’s compensation practices. Therefore, Invesco Aim generally does not support shareholder proposals to limit or eliminate certain forms of executive compensation. In the interest of reinforcing the notion of a compensation committee’s accountability to shareholders, Invesco Aim supports proposals requesting that companies subject each year’s compensation record to an advisory shareholder vote, or so-called “say on pay” proposals.
 
    Equity-based compensation plans. When voting to approve or reject equity-based compensation plans, Invesco Aim compares the total estimated cost of the plans, including stock options and restricted stock, against a carefully selected peer group and uses multiple performance metrics that help us determine whether the incentive structures in place are creating genuine shareholder wealth. Regardless of a plan’s estimated cost relative to its peer group, Invesco Aim votes against plans that contain structural features that would impair the alignment of incentives between shareholders and management. Such features include the ability to reprice or reload options without shareholder approval, the ability to issue options below the stock’s current market price, or the ability to automatically replenish shares without shareholder approval.

E-3


Table of Contents

    Employee stock-purchase plans. Invesco Aim supports employee stock-purchase plans that are reasonably designed to provide proper incentives to a broad base of employees, provided that the price at which employees may acquire stock is at most a 15 percent discount from the market price.
 
    Severance agreements. Invesco Aim generally votes in favor of proposals requiring advisory shareholder ratification of executives’ severance agreements. However, we oppose proposals requiring such agreements to be ratified by shareholders in advance of their adoption.
Capitalization
Examples of management proposals related to a company’s capital structure include authorizing or issuing additional equity capital, repurchasing outstanding stock, or enacting a stock split or reverse stock split. On requests for additional capital stock, Invesco Aim analyzes the company’s stated reasons for the request. Except where the request could adversely affect the fund’s ownership stake or voting rights, AIM generally supports a board’s decisions on its needs for additional capital stock. Some capitalization proposals require a case-by-case analysis within the context of Invesco Aim’s investment thesis on a company. Examples of such proposals include authorizing common or preferred stock with special voting rights, or issuing additional stock in connection with an acquisition.
IV. Mergers, Acquisitions and Other Corporate Actions
Issuers occasionally require shareholder approval to engage in certain corporate actions such as mergers, acquisitions, name changes, dissolutions, reorganizations, divestitures and reincorporations. Invesco Aim analyzes these proposals within the context of our investment thesis on the company, and determines its vote on a case-by-case basis.
V. Anti-Takeover Measures
Practices designed to protect a company from unsolicited bids can adversely affect shareholder value and voting rights, and they create conflicts of interests among directors, management and shareholders. Except under special issuer-specific circumstances, Invesco Aim votes to reduce or eliminate such measures. These measures include adopting or renewing “poison pills”, requiring supermajority voting on certain corporate actions, classifying the election of directors instead of electing each director to an annual term, or creating separate classes of common or preferred stock with special voting rights. Invesco Aim generally votes against management proposals to impose these types of measures, and generally votes for shareholder proposals designed to reduce such measures. Invesco Aim supports shareholder proposals directing companies to subject their anti-takeover provisions to a shareholder vote.
VI. Shareholder Proposals on Corporate Governance
Invesco Aim generally votes for shareholder proposals that are designed to protect shareholder rights if a company’s corporate-governance standards indicate that such additional protections are warranted.
VII. Shareholder Proposals on Social Responsibility
The potential costs and economic benefits of shareholder proposals seeking to amend a company’s practices for social reasons are difficult to assess. Analyzing the costs and economic benefits of these proposals is highly subjective and does not fit readily within our framework of voting to create greater shareholder wealth over Invesco Aim’s typical investment horizon. Therefore, Invesco Aim abstains from voting on shareholder proposals deemed to be of a purely social, political or moral nature.

E-4

VIII. Routine Business Matters
Routine business matters rarely have a potentially material effect on the economic prospects of fund holdings, so we generally support the board’s discretion on these items. However, Invesco Aim votes against proposals where there is insufficient information to make a decision about the nature of the proposal. Similarly, Invesco Aim votes against proposals to conduct other unidentified business at shareholder meetings.
Summary
These Guidelines provide an important framework for making proxy-voting decisions, and should give fund shareholders and other account holders insight into the factors driving Invesco Aim’s decisions. The Guidelines cannot address all potential proxy issues, however. Decisions on specific issues must be made within the context of these Guidelines and within the context of the investment thesis of the funds and other accounts that own the company’s stock. Where a different investment thesis is held by portfolio managers who may hold stocks in common, Invesco Aim may vote the shares held on a fund-by-fund or account-by-account basis.
Exceptions
In certain circumstances, Invesco Aim may refrain from voting where the economic cost of voting a company’s proxy exceeds any anticipated benefits of that proxy proposal.
Share-lending programs
One reason that some portion of Invesco Aim’s position in a particular security might not be voted is the securities lending program. When securities are out on loan and earning fees for the lending fund, they are transferred into the borrower’s name. Any proxies during the period of the loan are voted by the borrower. The lending fund would have to terminate the loan to vote the company’s proxy, an action that is not generally in the best economic interest of fund shareholders. However, whenever Invesco Aim determines that the benefit to shareholders or other account holders of voting a particular proxy outweighs the revenue lost by terminating the loan, we recall the securities for the purpose of voting the fund’s full position.
“Share-blocking”
Another example of a situation where Invesco Aim may be unable to vote is in countries where the exercise of voting rights requires the fund to submit to short-term trading restrictions, a practice known as “share-blocking.” Invesco Aim generally refrains from voting proxies in share-blocking countries unless the portfolio manager determines that the benefit to fund shareholders and other account holders of voting a specific proxy outweighs the fund’s or other account’s temporary inability to sell the security.
International constraints
An additional concern that sometimes precludes our voting non-U.S. proxies is our inability to receive proxy materials with enough time and enough information to make a voting decision. In the great majority of instances, however, we are able to vote non-U.S. proxies successfully. It is important to note that Invesco Aim makes voting decisions for non-U.S. issuers using these Guidelines as our framework, but also takes into account the corporate-governance standards, regulatory environment and generally accepted best practices of the local market.

E-5


Table of Contents

Exceptions to these Guidelines
Invesco Aim retains the flexibility to accommodate company-specific situations where strictly adhering to the Guidelines would lead to a vote that the Proxy Committee deems not to be in the best interest of the funds’ shareholders and other account holders. In these situations, the Proxy Committee will vote the proxy in the manner deemed to be in the best interest of the funds’ shareholders and other account holders, and will promptly inform the funds’ Boards of Trustees of such vote and the circumstances surrounding it.
Resolving potential conflicts of interest
A potential conflict of interest arises when Invesco Aim votes a proxy for an issuer with which it also maintains a material business relationship. Examples could include issuers that are distributors of Invesco Aim’s products, or issuers that employ Invesco Aim to manage portions of their retirement plans or treasury accounts. Invesco Aim reviews each proxy proposal to assess the extent, if any, to which there may be a material conflict between the interests of the fund shareholders or other account holders and Invesco Aim.
Invesco Aim takes reasonable measures to determine whether a potential conflict may exist. A potential conflict is deemed to exist only if one or more of the Proxy Committee members actually knew or should have known of the potential conflict.
If a material potential conflict is deemed to exist, Invesco Aim may resolve the potential conflict in one of the following ways: (1) if the proposal that gives rise to the potential conflict is specifically addressed by the Guidelines, Invesco Aim may vote the proxy in accordance with the predetermined Guidelines; (2) Invesco Aim may engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should be voted; or (3) Invesco Aim may establish an ethical wall or other informational barrier between the persons involved in the potential conflict and the persons making the proxy-voting decision in order to insulate the potential conflict from the decision makers.
Because the Guidelines are pre-determined and crafted to be in the best economic interest of shareholders and other account holders, applying the Guidelines to vote client proxies should, in most instances, adequately resolve any potential conflict of interest. As an additional safeguard against potential conflicts, persons from Invesco Aim’s marketing, distribution and other customer-facing functions are precluded from becoming members of the Proxy Committee.
On a quarterly basis, the AIM Funds Boards of Trustees review a report from Invesco Aim’s Internal Compliance Controls Committee. The report contains a list of all known material business relationships that Invesco Aim maintains with publicly traded issuers. That list is cross-referenced with the list of proxies voted over the period. If there are any instances where Invesco Aim’s voting pattern on the proxies of its material business partners is inconsistent with its voting pattern on all other issuers, they are brought before the Trustees and explained by the Chairman of the Proxy Committee.
Personal conflicts of interest. If any member of the Proxy Committee has a personal conflict of interest with respect to a company or an issue presented for voting, that Proxy Committee member will inform the Proxy Committee of such conflict and will abstain from voting on that company or issue.
Funds of funds . Some AIM Funds offering diversified asset allocation within one investment vehicle own shares in other AIM Funds. A potential conflict of interest could arise if an underlying AIM Fund has a shareholder meeting with any proxy issues to be voted on, because Invesco Aim’s asset-allocation funds or target-maturity funds may be large shareholders of the underlying fund. In order to avoid any potential

E-6

for a conflict, the asset-allocation funds and target maturity funds vote their shares in the same proportion as the votes of the external shareholders of the underlying fund.
Policies and Vote Disclosure
A copy of these Guidelines and the voting record of each AIM Fund are available on our web site, www.invescoaim.com . In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, all funds file a record of all proxy-voting activity for the prior 12 months ending June 30th. That filing is made on or before August 31st of each year.

GENERAL POLICY
Invesco has responsibility for making investment decisions that are in the best interests of its clients. As part of the investment management services it provides to clients, Invesco may be authorized by clients to vote proxies appurtenant to the shares for which the clients are beneficial owners.
Invesco believes that it has a duty to manage clients’ assets in the best economic interests of the clients and that the ability to vote proxies is a client asset.
Invesco reserves the right to amend its proxy policies and procedures from time to time without prior notice to its clients.
PROXY VOTING POLICIES
Voting of Proxies
Invesco will on a fund by fund basis, decide whether it will vote proxies and if so, for which parts of the portfolio it will voted for. If Invesco decides to vote proxies, it will do so in accordance with the procedures set forth below. If the client retains in writing the right to vote or if Invesco determines that any benefit the client might gain from voting a proxy would be outweighed by the costs associated therewith, it will refrain from voting.
Best Economic Interests of Clients
In voting proxies, Invesco will take into consideration those factors that may affect the value of the security and will vote proxies in a manner in which, in its opinion, is in the best economic interests of clients. Invesco endeavors to resolve any conflicts of interest exclusively in the best economic interests of clients.
Certain Proxy Votes May Not Be Cast
In some cases, Invesco may determine that it is not in the best economic interests of clients to vote proxies. For example, proxy voting in certain countries outside the United States requires share blocking. Shareholders who wish to vote their proxies must deposit their shares 7 to 21 days before the date of the meeting with a designated depositary. During the blocked period, shares to be voted at the meeting cannot be sold until the meeting has taken place and the shares have been returned to the Custodian/Sub-Custodian bank. In addition, voting certain international securities may involve unusual costs to clients. In other cases, it may not be possible to vote certain proxies despite good faith efforts to do so, for instance when inadequate notice of the matter is provided. In the instance of loan securities, voting of proxies typically requires termination of the loan, so it is not usually in the best economic interests of clients to vote proxies on loaned securities. Invesco typically will not, but reserves the right to, vote where share blocking restrictions, unusual costs or other barriers to efficient voting apply. If Invesco does not vote, it would have made the determination that the cost of voting exceeds the expected benefit to the client.
ISS Services
Invesco has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), an independent third party service provider, to vote Invesco’s clients’ proxies according to ISS’s proxy voting recommendations. In addition, ISS will provide proxy analyses, vote recommendations, vote execution and record-keeping services for clients for which Invesco has proxy voting responsibility. On an annual basis, Invesco will review information obtained from ISS to ascertain whether ISS (i) has the capacity and competency to adequately analyze proxy issues, and (ii) can make such recommendations in an impartial manner and in the best economic interest of Invesco’s clients. This may include a review of ISS’ Policies, Procedures and Practices Regarding Potential Conflicts of Interests and obtaining information about the work ISS does for corporate issuers and the payments ISS receives from such issuers.

Table of Contents

(INVESCO LOGO)
Custodians forward proxy materials for clients who rely on Invesco to vote proxies to ISS. ISS is responsible for exercising the voting rights in accordance with the ISS proxy voting guidelines. If Invesco receives proxy materials in connection with a client’s account where the client has, in writing, communicated to Invesco that the client, plan fiduciary or other third party has reserved the right to vote proxies, Invesco will forward to the party appointed by client any proxy materials it receives with respect to the account. In order to avoid voting proxies in circumstances where Invesco, or any of its affiliates have or may have any conflict of interest, real or perceived, Invesco has engaged ISS to provide the proxy analyses, vote recommendations and voting of proxies.
In the event that (i) ISS recuses itself on a proxy voting matter and makes no recommendation or (ii) Invesco decides to override the ISS vote recommendation, the Proxy Voting Committee (PVC) of the International Structured Products Group and the Compliance Officer will review the issue and direct ISS how to vote the proxies as described below.
ISS Recusal
When ISS makes no recommendation on a proxy voting issue or is recused due to a conflict of interest, the Proxy Voting Committee (PVC) of the International Structured Products Group and the Compliance Officer will review the issue and, if Invesco does not have a conflict of interest, direct ISS how to vote the proxies. In such cases where Invesco has a conflict of interest, Invesco, in its sole discretion, shall either (a) vote the proxies pursuant to ISS’s general proxy voting guidelines, (b) engage an independent third party to provide a vote recommendation, or (c) contact its client(s) for direction as to how to vote the proxies.
Override of ISS Recommendation
There may be occasions where the Invesco investment personnel or senior officers seek to override ISS’s recommendations if they believe that ISS’s recommendations are not in accordance with the best economic interests of clients. In the event that an individual listed above in this section disagrees with an ISS recommendation on a particular voting issue, the individual shall document in writing the reasons that he/she believes that the ISS recommendation is not in accordance with clients’ best economic interests and submit such written documentation to the Proxy Voting Committee (PVC) of the International Structured Products Group. Upon review of the documentation and consultation with the individual and others as the PVC deems appropriate, the PVC together with the Compliance Officer may make a determination to override the ISS voting recommendation if they determine that it is in the best economic interests of clients.
Proxy Voting Records
Clients may obtain information about how Invesco voted proxies on their behalf by contacting their client services representative. Alternatively, clients may make a written request for proxy voting information.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Procedures to Address Conflicts of Interest and Improper Influence
In order to avoid voting proxies in circumstances where Invesco or any of its affiliates have or may have any conflict of interest, real or perceived, Invesco has contracted with ISS to provide proxy analyses, vote recommendations and voting of proxies. Unless noted otherwise by ISS, each vote recommendation provided by ISS to Invesco includes a representation from ISS that ISS faces no conflict of interest with respect to the vote. In instances where ISS has recused itself and makes no recommendation on a particular matter or if an override submission is requested, the Proxy Voting Committee (PVC) of the International Structured Products Group together with the Compliance Officer shall determine how the

E-11


Table of Contents

(INVESCO LOGO)
proxy is to be voted and instruct accordingly in which case the conflict of interest provisions discussed below shall apply.
In effecting the policy of voting proxies in the best economic interests of clients, there may be occasions where the voting of such proxies may present a real or perceived conflict of interest between Invesco, as the investment manager, and clients.
For each director, officer and employee of Invesco (“Invesco person”), the interests of Invesco’s clients must come first, ahead of the interest of Invesco and any person within the Invesco organization, which includes Invesco’s affiliates.
Accordingly, each Invesco person must not put “personal benefit,” whether tangible or intangible, before the interests of clients of Invesco or otherwise take advantage of the relationship to Invesco’s clients. “Personal benefit” includes any intended benefit for oneself or any other individual, company, group or organization of any kind whatsoever, except a benefit for a client of Invesco, as appropriate. It is imperative that each of Invesco’s directors, officers and employees avoid any situation that might compromise, or call into question, the exercise of fully independent judgment in the interests of Invesco’s clients.
Occasions may arise where a person or organization involved in the proxy voting process may have a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest may also exist if Invesco has a business relationship with (or is actively soliciting business from) either the company soliciting the proxy or a third party that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a particular outcome of a proxy vote. An Invesco person shall not be considered to have a conflict of interest if the Invesco person did not know of the conflict of interest and did not attempt to influence the outcome of a proxy vote. Any individual with actual knowledge of a conflict of interest relating to a particular referral item shall disclose that conflict to the Compliance Officer.
The following are examples of situations where a conflict may exist:
  §     Business Relationships – where Invesco manages money for a company or an employee group, manages pension assets or is actively soliciting any such business, or leases office space from a company;
 
  §     Personal Relationships – where a Invesco person has a personal relationship with other proponents of proxy proposals, participants in proxy contests, corporate directors, or candidates for directorships; and
 
  §     Familial Relationships – where an Invesco person has a known familial relationship relating to a company (e.g. a spouse or other relative who serves as a director of a public company or is employed by the company).
In the event that Invesco (or an affiliate) manages assets for a company, its pension plan, or related entity and where clients’ funds are invested in that company’s shares, it will not take into consideration this relationship and will vote proxies in that company solely in the best economic interest of its clients.
It is the responsibility of the Invesco person to report any real or potential conflict of interest of which such individual has actual knowledge to the Compliance Officer, who shall present any such information to the Head of Continental Europe Compliance. However, once a particular conflict has been reported to the Compliance Officer, this requirement shall be deemed satisfied with respect to all individuals with knowledge of such conflict.
In addition, any Invesco person who submits an ISS override recommendation to the Proxy Voting Committee (PVC) of the International Structured Products Group shall certify as to their compliance with

E-12


Table of Contents

(INVESCO LOGO)
this policy concurrently with the submission of their override recommendation. A form of such certification is attached as Appendix A hereto.
In addition, the Proxy Voting Committee (PVC) of the International Structured Products Group must notify Invesco’s Compliance Officer with impunity and without fear of retribution or retaliation, of any direct, indirect or perceived improper influence made by anyone within Invesco or by an affiliated company’s representatives with regard to how Invesco should vote proxies. The Compliance Officer will investigate the allegations and will report his or her findings to the Invesco Risk Management Committee and to the Head of Continental Europe Compliance. In the event that it is determined that improper influence was made, the Risk Management Committee will determine the appropriate action to take which may include, but is not limited to,
    (1) notifying the affiliated company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Management Committee or Board of Directors,
 
    (2) taking remedial action, if necessary, to correct the result of any improper influence where clients have been harmed, or
 
    (3) notifying the appropriate regulatory agencies of the improper influence and to fully cooperate with these regulatory agencies as required. In all cases, the Proxy Voting Committee (PVC) of the International Structured Products Group together with the Compliance Officer shall not take into consideration the improper influence in determining how to vote proxies and will vote proxies solely in the best economic interest of clients.

INVESCO PERPETUAL
POLICY ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

(Updated February 2008)
1.   Introduction
 
    Invesco Perpetual (IP), the trading name of Invesco Asset Management Limited, has adopted a clear and considered policy towards its responsibility as a shareholder. As part of this policy, IP will take steps to satisfy itself about the extent to which the companies in which it invests comply with local recommendations and practices, such as the UK Combined Code issued by the Committee on Corporate Governance and/or the U.S. Department of Labor Interpretive Bulletins.
 
2.   Responsible Voting
 
    IP has a responsibility to optimise returns to its clients. As a core part of the investment process, Fund Managers will endeavour to establish a dialogue with management to promote company decision making that is in the best interests of shareholders, and is in accordance with good Corporate Governance principles.
 
    IP considers that shareholder activism is fundamental to good Corporate Governance. Whilst this does not entail intervening in daily management decisions, it does involve supporting general standards for corporate activity and, where necessary, taking the initiative to ensure those standards are met.
 
    One important means of putting shareholder responsibility into practice is via the exercising of voting rights. In deciding whether to vote shares, IP will take into account such factors as the likely impact of voting on management activity, and where expressed, the preference of clients. As a result of these two factors, IP will tend to vote on all UK and European shares, but to vote on a more selective basis on other shares. (See Appendix I – Voting on non-UK/European shares)
 
    IP considers that the voting rights attached to its clients’ investments should be actively managed with the same duty of care as that applied to all other aspects of asset administration. As such, voting rights will be exercised on an informed and independent basis, and will not simply be passed back to the company concerned for discretionary voting by the Chairman. In doing this, IP will have in mind three objectives:
 
    i) To protect the rights of its clients
 
    ii) To minimise the risk of financial or business impropriety within the companies in which its clients are invested, and
 
    iii) To protect the long-term value of its clients’ investments.
 
    It is important to note that, when exercising voting rights, a third option of abstention can also be used as a means of expressing dissatisfaction, or lack of support, to a Board on a particular issue. Additionally, in the event of a conflict of interest arising between IP and its clients over a specific issue, IP will either abstain or seek instruction from each client.
 
    IP will exercise actively the voting rights represented by the shares it manages on behalf of its investors.

E-14


Table of Contents

     Note: Share Blocking
    Generally, IP will not vote where this results in shares being blocked from trading for a period of more than a few hours. IP considers that it is not in the interest of clients that their shares are blocked at a potentially sensitive time, such as that around a shareholder meeting.
 
3.   Voting Procedures
 
    IP will endeavour to keep under regular review with trustees, depositaries and custodians the practical arrangements for circulating company resolutions and notices of meetings and for exercising votes in accordance with standing or special instructions.
 
    IP will endeavour to review regularly any standing or special instructions on voting and where possible, discuss with company representatives any significant issues.
 
    IP will take into account the implications of stock lending arrangements where this is relevant (that is, when stock is lent to the extent permitted by local regulations, the voting rights attaching to that stock pass to the borrower). If a stock is on loan and therefore cannot be voted, it will not necessarily be recalled in instances where we would vote with management. Individual IP Fund Managers enter securities lending arrangements at their own discretion and where they believe it is for the potential benefit of their investors.
 
4.   Dialogue with Companies
 
    IP will endeavour, where practicable in accordance with its investment processes, to enter into a dialogue with companies based on the mutual understanding of objectives. This dialogue is likely to include regular meetings with company representatives to explore any concerns about corporate governance where these may impact on the best interests of clients. In discussion with Company Boards and senior non-Executive Directors, IP will endeavour to cover any matters with particular relevance to shareholder value.
 
    Specifically when considering resolutions put to shareholders, IP will pay attention to the companies’ compliance with the relevant local requirements. In addition, when analysing the company’s prospects for future profitability and hence returns to shareholders, IP will take many variables into account, including but not limited to, the following:
  o   Nomination and audit committees
 
  o   Remuneration committee and directors’ remuneration
 
  o   Board balance and structure
 
  o   Financial reporting principles
 
  o   Internal control system and annual review of its effectiveness
 
  o   Dividend and Capital Management policies
5.   Non-Routine Resolutions and Other Topics
 
    These will be considered on a case-by-case basis and where proposals are put to the vote will require proper explanation and justification by (in most instances) the Board. Examples of such would be all SRI issues (i.e. those with social, environmental or ethical connotations), political donations, and any proposal raised by a shareholder or body of shareholders (typically a pressure group).

Table of Contents

    Apart from the three fundamental voting objectives set out under ‘Responsible Voting’ above, considerations that IP might apply to non-routine proposals will include:
  i)   The degree to which the company’s stated position on the issue could affect its reputation and/or sales, or leave it vulnerable to boycott or selective purchasing
 
  ii)   What other companies have done in response to the issue
 
  iii)   Whether implementation would achieve the objectives sought in the proposal
 
  iv)   Whether the matter is best left to the Board’s discretion.
6.   Evaluation of Companies’ Corporate Governance Arrangements
 
    IP will, when evaluating companies’ governance arrangements, particularly those relating to board structure and composition, give due weight to all relevant factors drawn to their attention.
 
7.   Disclosure
 
    On request from clients, IP will in good faith provide records of voting instructions given to third parties such as trustees, depositaries and custodians provided that:
  (i)   in IP’s discretion, to do so does not conflict with the best interests of other clients and
 
  (ii)   it is understood that IP will not be held accountable for the expression of views within such voting instructions and
 
  (iii)   IP are not giving any assurance nor undertaking any obligation to ensure that such instructions resulted in any votes actually being cast. Records of voting instructions within the immediate preceding 3 months will not normally be provided.
Note:   The record of votes will reflect the voting instruction of the relevant Fund Manager. This may not be the same as votes actually cast as IP is entirely reliant on third parties complying promptly with such instructions to ensure that such votes are cast correctly. Accordingly, the provision of information relating to an instruction does not mean that a vote was actually cast, just that an instruction was given in accordance with a particular view taken.

Appendix I
Voting on non-UK/European shares
When deciding whether to exercise the voting rights attached to its clients’ non-UK/European shares, IP will take into consideration a number of factors. These will include:
     — the likely impact of voting on management activity, versus the cost to the client
     — the portfolio management restrictions (e.g. share blocking) that may result from voting
     — the preferences, where expressed, of clients
Generally, IP will vote on non-UK/European shares by exception only, except where the client or local regulator expressly requires voting on all shares.
Share Blocking
Generally, IP will not vote where this results in shares being blocked from trading for a period of more than a few hours. IP considers that it is not in the interest of clients that their shares are blocked at a potentially sensitive time, such as that around a shareholder meeting.

Invesco Australia Limited
Proxy Voting Policy
1.   Purpose of this Policy
 
    INVESCO recognises its fiduciary obligation to act in the best interests of all clients, be they superannuation trustees, institutional clients, unit-holders in managed investment schemes or personal investors. One way INVESCO represents its clients in matters of corporate governance is through the proxy voting process.
 
    This document sets out INVESCO’s policy in relation to proxy voting. It has been approved by the INVESCO Australia Limited Board.
 
2.   Scope
 
    This policy applies to all INVESCO portfolios with the following exceptions:
    “index” or “index like” funds where, due to the nature of the funds, INVESCO will generally abstain from voting;
 
    private client or discrete wholesale mandates, where the voting policy has been agreed within the mandate;
 
    where investment management of an international fund has been delegated to an overseas AMVESCAP or INVESCO company, proxy voting will rest with that delegated manager.
3.   Policy
 
    In accordance with industry practices and the IFSA standard on proxy voting, our policy is as follows:
    INVESCO’s overriding principle is that votes will be cast in the best economic interests of investors.
 
    INVESCO’s intention is to vote on all Australian Company shareholder resolutions however it recognises that in some circumstances it would be inappropriate to vote, or its vote may be immaterial. INVESCO will generally abstain from voting on “routine” company resolutions (eg approval of financial accounts or housekeeping amendments to Articles of Association or Constitution) unless its clients’ portfolios in aggregate represent a significant proportion of the shareholdings of the company in question (a significant proportion in this context means 5% or more of the market capitalisation of the company).
 
    INVESCO will always vote on the following issues arising in company Annual General Meetings where it has the authority to do so on behalf of clients.
  o   contentious issues (eg. issues of perceived national interest, or where there has been extensive press coverage or public comment);
 
  o   employee and executive share and option schemes;
 
  o   approval of changes of substantial shareholdings;
 
  o   mergers or schemes of arrangement; and
 
  o   approval of major asset sales or purchases.
    Management agreements or mandates for individually-managed clients will provide direction as to who has responsibility for voting.
 
    In the case of existing management agreements which do not contain a provision concerning voting authority or are ambiguous on the subject, INVESCO will not vote until clear instructions have been received from the client.

E-26


Table of Contents

    In the case of clients who wish to place special conditions on the delegation of proxy voting powers, INVESCO will endeavour to accommodate those clients’ requirements as far as practicable, subject to any administrative obstacles or additional costs that might arise in implementing the conditions.

E-27


Table of Contents

    In considering proxy voting issues arising in respect of unit-holders in managed investment schemes, INVESCO will act solely in accordance with its fiduciary responsibility to take account of the collective interests of unit-holders in the scheme as a whole. INVESCO cannot accept instructions from individual unit-holders as to the exercise of proxy voting authority in a particular instance.
 
    In order to facilitate its proxy voting process, INVESCO may retain a professional proxy voting service to assist with in-depth proxy research, vote execution, and the necessary record keeping.
4.   Reporting and Disclosure
 
    A written record will be kept of the voting decision in each case, and of the reasons for each decision (including abstentions).
 
    INVESCO will disclose on an annual basis, a summary of its proxy voting statistics on its website as required by IFSA standard No. 13 — Proxy Voting.
 
5.   Conflicts of Interest
 
    All INVESCO employees are under an obligation to be aware of the potential for conflicts of interest with respect to voting proxies on behalf of clients.
 
    INVESCO acknowledges that conflicts of interest do arise and where a conflict of interest is considered material, INVESCO will not vote until a resolution has been agreed upon and implemented.

INTRODUCTION
      This policy sets out Invesco’s approach to proxy voting in the context of our broader portfolio management and client service responsibilities. It applies to Asia related equity portfolios managed by Invesco on behalf of individually-managed clients and pooled fund clients
 
      Invesco’s proxy voting policy is expected to evolve over time to cater for changing circumstances or unforeseen events.

E-31


Table of Contents

1. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
  1.1   Invesco recognises its fiduciary obligation to act in the best interests of all clients, be they retirement scheme trustees, institutional clients, unitholders in pooled investment vehicles or personal investors. The application of due care and skill in exercising shareholder responsibilities is a key aspect of this fiduciary obligation.
 
  1.2   The sole objective of Invesco’s proxy voting policy is to promote the economic interests of its clients. At no time will Invesco use the shareholding powers exercised in respect of its clients’ investments to advance its own commercial interests, to pursue a social or political cause that is unrelated to clients’ economic interests, or to favour a particular client or other relationship to the detriment of others.
 
  1.3   Invesco also recognises the broader chain of accountability that exists in the proper governance of corporations, and the extent and limitations of the shareholder’s role in that process. In particular, it is recognised that company management should ordinarily be presumed to be best placed to conduct the commercial affairs of the enterprise concerned, with prime accountability to the enterprise’s Board of Directors which is in turn accountable to shareholders and to external regulators and exchanges. The involvement of Invesco as an institutional shareholder will not extend to interference in the proper exercise of Board or management responsibilities, or impede the ability of companies to take the calculated commercial risks which are essential means of adding value for shareholders.
 
  1.4   The primary aim of the policy is to encourage a culture of performance among investee companies, rather than one of mere conformance with a prescriptive set of rules and constraints. Rigid adherence to a checklist approach to corporate governance issues is of itself unlikely to promote the maximum economic performance of companies, or to cater for circumstances in which non-compliance with a checklist is appropriate or unavoidable.
 
  1.5   Invesco considers that proxy voting rights are an asset which should be managed with the same care as any other asset managed on behalf of its clients.

E-32


Table of Contents

2. PROXY VOTING AUTHORITY
  2.1   An important dimension of Invesco’s approach to corporate governance is the exercise of proxy voting authority at the Annual General Meetings or other decision-making forums of companies in which we manage investments on behalf of clients.
 
  2.2   An initial issue to consider in framing a proxy voting policy is the question of where discretion to exercise voting power should rest — with Invesco as the investment manager, or with each individual client? Under the first alternative, Invesco’s role would be both to make voting decisions on clients’ behalf and to implement those decisions. Under the second alternative, Invesco would either have no role to play, or its role would be limited solely to implementing voting decisions under instructions from our clients.
 
  2.3   In addressing this issue, it is necessary to distinguish the different legal structures and fiduciary relationships which exist as between individually-managed clients, who hold investments directly on their own accounts, and pooled fund clients, whose investments are held indirectly under a trust structure.
 
  2.4   Individually-Managed Clients
 
  2.4.1   As a matter of general policy, Invesco believes that unless a client’s mandate gives specific instructions to the contrary, discretion to exercise votes should normally rest with the investment manager, provided that the discretion is always exercised in the client’s interests alone.
 
  2.4.2   The reason for this position is that Invesco believes that, with its dedicated research resources and ongoing monitoring of companies, an investment manager is usually better placed to identify issues upon which a vote is necessary or desirable. We believe it is also more practical that voting discretion rests with the party that has the authority to buy and sell shares, which is essentially what investment managers have been engaged to do on behalf of their clients.
 
  2.4.3   In cases where voting authority is delegated by an individually-managed client, Invesco recognises its responsibility to be accountable for the decisions it makes. If a client requires, an appropriate reporting mechanism will be put in place.
 
  2.4.4   While it is envisaged that the above arrangements will be acceptable in the majority of cases, it is recognised that some individually-managed clients will wish to retain voting authority for themselves, or to place conditions on the circumstances in which it can be exercised by investment managers. In practice, it is believed that this option is generally only likely to arise with relatively large clients such as trustees of major superannuation funds or statutory corporations which have the resources to develop their own policies and to supervise their implementation by investment managers and custodians. In particular, clients who have multiple equity managers and utilise a master custody arrangement may be more likely to consider retaining voting authority in order to ensure consistency of approach across their total portfolio.
 
  2.4.5   In any event, whatever decision is taken as to where voting authority should lie, Invesco believes that the matter should be explicitly covered by the terms of the investment management agreement and clearly understood by the respective parties.

E-33


Table of Contents

  2.4.6   Accordingly, Invesco will pursue the following policies with respect to the exercise of proxy voting authority for individually-managed clients:

PROXY VOTING AUTHORITY
 
Individually-Managed Clients
Unless an individually-managed client wishes to retain proxy voting authority, Invesco will assume proxy voting authority by way of delegation from the client, provided that the allocation of proxy voting responsibility is clearly set out in the investment management agreement.
In the case of clients who wish to place special conditions on the delegation of proxy voting powers, Invesco will endeavour to accommodate those clients’ requirements as far as practicable, subject to any administrative obstacles or additional costs that might arise in implementing the conditions.
  2.5   Pooled Fund Clients
 
  2.5.1   The legal relationship between an investment manager and its pooled fund clients is different in a number of important respects from that applying to individually-managed clients. These differences have a bearing on how proxy voting authority is exercised on behalf of pooled fund clients.
 
  2.5.2   These legal relationships essentially mean that the manager is required to act solely in the collective interests of unitholders at large rather than as a direct agent or delegate of each unitholder. On the issue of proxy voting, as with all other aspects of our client relationships, Invesco will naturally continue to be receptive to any views and concerns raised by its pooled fund clients. However, the legal relationship that exists means it is not possible for the manager to accept instructions from a particular pooled fund client as to how to exercise proxy voting authority in a particular instance.
 
  2.5.3   As in the case of individually-managed clients who delegate their proxy voting authority, Invesco’s accountability to pooled fund clients in exercising its fiduciary responsibilities is best addressed as part of the manager’s broader client relationship and reporting responsibilities.
 
  2.5.4   Accordingly, Invesco will pursue the following policies with respect to the exercise of proxy voting authority for pooled fund clients:

PROXY VOTING AUTHORITY
Pooled Fund Clients
In considering proxy voting issues arising in respect of pooled fund shareholdings, Invesco will act solely in accordance with its fiduciary responsibility to take account of the collective interests of unitholders in the pooled fund as a whole.
Invesco cannot accept instructions from individual unitholders as to the exercise of proxy voting authority in a particular instance.

3. KEY PROXY VOTING ISSUES
  3.1   This section outlines Invesco’s intended approach in cases where proxy voting authority is being exercised on clients’ behalf.
 
  3.2   Invesco will vote on all material issues at all company meetings where it has the voting authority and responsibility to do so. We will not announce our voting intentions and the reasons behind them.
 
  3.3   Invesco applies two underlying principles. First, our interpretation of ‘material voting issues’ is confined to those issues which affect the value of shares we hold on behalf of clients and the rights of shareholders to an equal voice in influencing the affairs of companies in proportion to their shareholdings. We do not consider it appropriate to use shareholder powers for reasons other than the pursuit of these economic interests. Second, we believe that a critical factor in the development of an optimal corporate governance policy is the need to avoid unduly diverting resources from our primary responsibilities to add value to our clients’ portfolios through investment performance and client service.
 
  3.4   In order to expand upon these principles, Invesco believes it is necessary to consider the role of proxy voting policy in the context of broader portfolio management and administrative issues which apply to our investment management business as a whole. These are discussed as follows.
 
  3.5   Portfolio Management Issues — Active Equity Portfolios
 
  3.5.1   While recognising in general terms that issues concerning corporate governance practices can have a significant bearing on the financial performance of companies, the primary criterion for the selection and retention of a particular stock in active equity portfolios remains our judgment that the stock will deliver superior investment performance for our clients, based on our investment themes and market analysis.
 
  3.5.2   In view of these dynamics, Invesco does not consider it feasible or desirable to prescribe in advance comprehensive guidelines as to how it will exercise proxy voting authority in all circumstances. The primary aim of Invesco’s approach to corporate governance is to encourage a culture of performance among the companies in which we manage investments in order to add value to our clients’ portfolios, rather than one of mere conformance with a prescriptive set of rules and constraints.
 
  3.5.3   Nevertheless, Invesco has identified a limited range of issues upon which it will always exercise proxy voting authority — either to register disapproval of management proposals or to demonstrate support for company initiatives through positive use of voting powers. These issues are outlined as follows:

KEY VOTING ISSUES
Major Corporate Proposals
Invesco will always vote on the following issues arising in company General Meetings where it has the authority to do so on behalf of clients.

E-35


Table of Contents

  contentious issues (eg. issues of perceived national interest, or where there has
 
→    been extensive press coverage or public comment);
 
→    approval of changes of substantial shareholdings;
 
→    mergers or schemes of arrangement; and
 
→    approval of major asset sales or purchases.
 
As a general rule, Invesco will vote against any actions that will reduce the rights or options of shareholders, reduce shareholder influence over the board of directors and management, reduce the alignment of interests between management and shareholders, or reduce the value of shareholders’ investments, unless balanced by reasonable increase in net worth of the shareholding.
Where appropriate, Invesco will also use voting powers to influence companies to adopt generally accepted best corporate governance practices in areas such as board composition, disclosure policies and the other areas of recommended corporate governance practice.
Invesco’s approach to significant proxy voting issues which fall outside these areas will be addressed on their merits.
  3.6   Administrative Issues
 
  3.6.1   In addition to the portfolio management issues outlined above, Invesco’s proxy voting policy also takes account of administrative and cost implications, together with the size of our holdings as compared to the issue size, involved in the exercise of proxy voting authority on our clients’ behalf.
 
  3.6.2   There are practical constraints to the implementation of proxy voting decisions. Proxy voting is a highly seasonal activity, with most company Annual General Meetings being collapsed into a few months, with short deadlines for the distribution and return of notice papers, multiple resolutions from multiple companies being considered simultaneously, and under a legal system which is essentially dependent upon paper-based communication and record-keeping.
 
  3.6.3   In addition, for investment managers such as Invesco who do not invest as principals and who consequently do not appear directly on the share registers of companies, all of these communications are channelled through external custodians, among whom there is in turn a considerable variation in the nature and quality of systems to deal with the flow of information.
 
  3.6.4   While Invesco has the systems in place to efficiently implement proxy voting decisions when required, it can be seen that administrative and cost considerations by necessity play an important role in the application of a responsible proxy voting policy. This is particularly so bearing in mind the extremely limited time period within which voting decisions must often be made and implemented (which can in practice be as little as a few days). This factor also explains why Invesco resists any suggestion that there should be compulsory proxy voting on all issues, as in our view this would only increase the costs to be borne by our clients with very little practical improvement in corporate performance in most cases.

E-36


Table of Contents

  3.6.5   These administrative constraints are further highlighted by the fact that many issues on which shareholders are in practice asked to vote are routine matters relating to the ongoing administration of the company — eg. approval of financial accounts or housekeeping amendments to Articles of Association. Generally in such cases, we will be in favour of the motion as most companies take seriously their duties and are acting in the best interests of shareholders. However, the actual casting of a “yes” vote on all such resolutions in our view would entail an unreasonable administrative workload and cost.
 
  3.6.6   Accordingly, Invesco believes that an important consideration in the framing of a proxy voting policy is the need to avoid unduly diverting resources from our primary responsibilities to add value to our clients’ investments through portfolio management and client service. The policies outlined below have been prepared on this basis.

KEY PROXY VOTING ISSUES
Administrative Constraints
In view of the administrative constraints and costs involved in the exercise of proxy voting powers, Invesco may (depending on circumstances) not exercise its voting right unless its clients’ portfolios in aggregate represent a significant proportion of the shareholdings of the company in question.
A significant proportion in this context means 5% or more of the market capitalisation of the company.

4. INTERNAL ADMINISTRATION & DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
  4.1   The following diagram illustrates the procedures adopted by Invesco for the administration of proxy voting:
()
  4.2   As shown by the diagram, a central administrative role is performed by our Settlement Team, located within the Client Administration section. The initial role of the Settlement Team is to receive company notice papers via the range of custodians who hold shares on behalf of our clients, to ascertain which client portfolios hold the stock, and to initiate the decision-making process by distributing the company notice papers to the Primary Investment Manager responsible for the company in question.
 
  4.3   A voting decision on each company resolution (whether a yes or no vote, or a recommended abstention) is made by the Primary Investment Manager responsible for the company in question. Invesco believes that this approach is preferable to the appointment of a committee with responsibility for handling voting issues across all companies, as it takes advantage of the expertise of individuals whose professional lives are occupied by analysing particular companies and sectors, and who are familiar with the issues facing particular companies through their regular company visits.
 
  4.4   Moreover, the Primary Equity Manager has overall responsibility for the relevant market and this ensures that similar issues which arise in different companies are handled in a consistent way across the relevant market.
 
  4.5   The voting decision is then documented and passed back to the Settlement Team, who issue the voting instructions to each custodian in advance of the closing date for receipt of proxies by the company. At the same time, the Settlement Team logs all proxy voting activities for record keeping or client reporting purposes.

E-38


Table of Contents

  4.6   A key task in administering the overall process is the capture and dissemination of data from companies and custodians within a time frame that makes exercising votes feasible in practice. This applies particularly during the company Annual General Meeting “season”, when there are typically a large number of proxy voting issues under consideration simultaneously. Invesco has no control over the former dependency and Invesco’s ability to influence a custodian’s service levels are limited in the case of individually-managed clients, where the custodian is answerable to the client.
 
  4.7   The following policy commitments are implicit in these administrative and decision-making processes:

INTERNAL ADMINISTRATION AND DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
Invesco will consider all resolutions put forward in the Annual General Meetings or other decision-making forums of all companies in which investments are held on behalf of clients, where it has the authority to exercise voting powers. This consideration will occur in the context of our policy on Key Voting Issues outlined in Section 3.
The voting decision will be made by the Primary Investment Manager responsible for the market in question.
A written record will be kept of the voting decision in each case, and in case of an opposing vote, the reason/comment for the decision.
Voting instructions will be issued to custodians as far as practicable in advance of the deadline for receipt of proxies by the company. Invesco will monitor the efficiency with which custodians implement voting instructions on clients’ behalf.
Invesco’s ability to exercise proxy voting authority is dependent on timely receipt of notification from the relevant custodians.

5. CLIENT REPORTING
  5.1   Invesco will keep records of its proxy voting activities.
 
  5.2   Upon client request, Invesco will regularly report back to the client on proxy voting activities for investments owned by the client.
 
  5.2   The following points summarise Invesco’s policy commitments on the reporting of proxy voting activities to clients (other than in cases where specific forms of client reporting are specified in the client’s mandate):

CLIENT REPORTING
Where proxy voting authority is being exercised on a client’s behalf, a statistical summary of voting activity will be provided on request as part of the client’s regular quarterly report.
Invesco will provide more detailed information on particular proxy voting issues in response to requests from clients wherever possible.

Table of Contents

GENERAL POLICY
     Each of Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc. (collectively, “Invesco”), has responsibility for making investment decisions that are in the best interests of its clients. As part of the investment management services it provides to clients, Invesco may be authorized by clients to vote proxies appurtenant to the shares for which the clients are beneficial owners.
     Invesco believes that it has a duty to manage clients’ assets in the best economic interests of its clients and that the ability to vote proxies is a client asset.
     Invesco reserves the right to amend its proxy policies and procedures from time to time without prior notice to its clients.
PROXY VOTING POLICIES
Voting of Proxies
     Invesco will vote client proxies relating to equity securities in accordance with the procedures set forth below unless a non-ERISA client retains in writing the right to vote, the named fiduciary (e.g., the plan sponsor) of an ERISA client retains in writing the right to direct the plan trustee or a third party to vote proxies, or Invesco determines that any benefit the client might gain from voting a proxy would be outweighed by the costs associated therewith. In addition, due to the distinct nature of proxy voting for interests in fixed income assets and stable value wrap agreements, the proxies for such fixed income assets and stable value wrap agreements will be voted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the “Proxy Voting for Fixed Income Assets and Stable Value Wrap Agreements” section below.
Best Economic Interests of Clients
     In voting proxies, Invesco will take into consideration those factors that may affect the value of the security and will vote proxies in a manner in which, in its opinion, is in the best economic interests of clients. Invesco endeavors to resolve any conflicts of interest exclusively in the best economic interests of clients.
RiskMetrics’ Services
     Invesco has contracted with RiskMetrics Group (“RiskMetrics,” formerly known as ISS), an independent third party service provider, to vote Invesco’s clients’ proxies according to RiskMetrics’ proxy voting recommendations determined by RiskMetrics pursuant to its then-current US Proxy Voting Guidelines, a summary of which can be found at http://www.riskmetrics.com and which are deemed to be incorporated herein. In addition, RiskMetrics will provide proxy analyses, vote recommendations, vote execution and record-keeping services for clients for which Invesco has proxy voting responsibility. On an annual basis, the Proxy Voting Committee will review information obtained from RiskMetrics to ascertain whether RiskMetrics (i) has the capacity and competency to adequately analyze proxy issues, and (ii) can make such recommendations in an impartial manner and in the best economic interests of Invesco’s clients. This may include a review of RiskMetrics’ Policies, Procedures and Practices Regarding Potential Conflicts of Interest and obtaining information about the work RiskMetrics does for corporate issuers and the payments RiskMetrics receives from such issuers.

E-42


Table of Contents

     Custodians forward to RiskMetrics proxy materials for clients who rely on Invesco to vote proxies. RiskMetrics is responsible for exercising the voting rights in accordance with the RiskMetrics proxy voting guidelines. If Invesco receives proxy materials in connection with a client’s account where the client has, in writing, communicated to Invesco that the client, plan fiduciary or other third party has reserved the right to vote proxies, Invesco will forward to the party appointed by client any proxy materials it receives with respect to the account. In order to avoid voting proxies in circumstances where Invesco, or any of its affiliates have or may have any conflict of interest, real or perceived, Invesco has engaged RiskMetrics to provide the proxy analyses, vote recommendations and voting of proxies.
     In the event that (i) RiskMetrics recuses itself on a proxy voting matter and makes no recommendation or (ii) Invesco decides to override the RiskMetrics vote recommendation, the Proxy Committee will review the issue and direct RiskMetrics how to vote the proxies as described below.
Proxy Voting for Fixed Income Assets and Stable Value Wrap Agreements
     Some of Invesco’s fixed income clients hold interests in preferred stock of companies and some of Invesco’s stable value clients are parties to wrap agreements. From time to time, companies that have issued preferred stock or that are parties to wrap agreements request that Invesco’s clients vote proxies on particular matters. RiskMetrics does not currently provide proxy analysis or vote recommendations with respect to such proxy votes. Therefore, when a particular matter arises in this category, the investment team responsible for the particular mandate will review the matter and make a recommendation to the Proxy Manager as to how to vote the associated proxy. The Proxy Manager will complete the proxy ballots and send the ballots to the persons or entities identified in the ballots.
Proxy Committee
     The Proxy Committee shall have seven (7) members, which shall include representatives from portfolio management, operations, and legal/compliance or other functional departments as deemed appropriate and who are knowledgeable regarding the proxy process. A majority of the members of the Proxy Committee shall constitute a quorum and the Proxy Committee shall act by a majority vote of those members in attendance at a meeting called for the purpose of determining how to vote a particular proxy. The Proxy Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings that shall be kept with the proxy voting records of Invesco. The Proxy Committee will appoint a Proxy Manager to manage the proxy voting process, which includes the voting of proxies and the maintenance of appropriate records.
     The Proxy Manager shall call for a meeting of the Proxy Committee (1) when override submissions are made; and (2) in instances when RiskMetrics has recused itself or has not provided a vote recommendation with respect to an equity security. At such meeting, the Proxy Committee shall determine how proxies are to be voted in accordance with the factors set forth in the section entitled “Best Economic Interests of Clients,” above.
     The Proxy Committee also is responsible for monitoring adherence to these procedures, evaluating industry trends in proxy voting and engaging in the annual review described in the section entitled “RiskMetrics’ Services,” above.
Recusal by RiskMetrics or Failure of RiskMetrics to Make a Recommendation
     When RiskMetrics does not make a recommendation on a proxy voting issue or recuses itself due to a conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will review the issue and determine whether Invesco has a material conflict of interest as determined pursuant to the policies and procedures outlined in the “Conflicts of Interest” section below. If Invesco determines it does not have a material conflict of interest,

E-43


Table of Contents

Invesco will direct RiskMetrics how to vote the proxies. If Invesco determines it does have a material conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will follow the policies and procedures set forth in such section.
Override of RiskMetrics’ Recommendation
     There may be occasions where Invesco investment personnel, senior officers or a member of the Proxy Committee seek to override a RiskMetrics recommendation if they believe that a RiskMetrics recommendation is not in accordance with the best economic interests of clients. In the event that an individual listed above in this section disagrees with a RiskMetrics recommendation on a particular voting issue, the individual shall document in writing the reasons that he/she believes that the RiskMetrics recommendation is not in accordance with clients’ best economic interests and submit such written documentation to the Proxy Manager for consideration by the Proxy Committee along with the certification attached as Appendix A hereto. Upon review of the documentation and consultation with the individual and others as the Proxy Committee deems appropriate, the Proxy Committee may make a determination to override the RiskMetrics voting recommendation if the Committee determines that it is in the best economic interests of clients and the Committee has addressed any conflict of interest.
Proxy Committee Meetings
     When a Proxy Committee Meeting is called, whether because of a RiskMetrics recusal or request for override of a RiskMetrics recommendation, the Proxy Committee shall request from the Chief Compliance Officer as to whether any Invesco person has reported a conflict of interest.
     The Proxy Committee shall review the report from the Chief Compliance Officer to determine whether a real or perceived conflict of interest exists, and the minutes of the Proxy Committee shall:
  (1)   describe any real or perceived conflict of interest,
 
  (2)   determine whether such real or perceived conflict of interest is material,
 
  (3)   discuss any procedure used to address such conflict of interest,
 
  (4)   report any contacts from outside parties (other than routine communications from proxy solicitors), and
 
  (5)   include confirmation that the recommendation as to how the proxies are to be voted is in the best economic interests of clients and was made without regard to any conflict of interest.
     Based on the above review and determinations, the Proxy Committee will direct RiskMetrics how to vote the proxies as provided herein.
Certain Proxy Votes May Not Be Cast
     In some cases, Invesco may determine that it is not in the best economic interests of clients to vote proxies. For example, proxy voting in certain countries outside the United States requires share blocking. Shareholders who wish to vote their proxies must deposit their shares 7 to 21 days before the date of the meeting with a designated depositary. During the blocked period, shares to be voted at the meeting cannot be sold until the meeting has taken place and the shares have been returned to the Custodian/Sub-Custodian bank. In addition, voting certain international securities may involve unusual costs to clients, some of which may be related to requirements of having a representative in person attend the proxy meeting. In other cases, it may not be possible to vote certain proxies despite good faith

E-44


Table of Contents

efforts to do so, for instance when inadequate notice of the matter is provided. In the instance of loan securities, voting of proxies typically requires termination of the loan, so it is not usually in the best economic interests of clients to vote proxies on loaned securities. Invesco typically will not, but reserves the right to, vote where share blocking restrictions, unusual costs or other barriers to efficient voting apply. Invesco will not vote if it determines that the cost of voting exceeds the expected benefit to the client. The Proxy Manager shall record the reason for any proxy not being voted, which record shall be kept with the proxy voting records of Invesco.
Proxy Voting Records
     The proxy voting statements and records will be maintained by the Proxy Manager on-site (or accessible via an electronic storage site of RiskMetrics) for the first two (2) years. Copies of the proxy voting statements and records will be maintained for an additional five (5) years by Invesco (or will be accessible via an electronic storage site of RiskMetrics). Clients may obtain information about how Invesco voted proxies on their behalf by contacting their client services representative. Alternatively, clients may make a written request for proxy voting information to: Proxy Manager, 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Procedures to Address Conflicts of Interest and Improper Influence
     In order to avoid voting proxies in circumstances where Invesco or any of its affiliates have or may have any conflict of interest, real or perceived, Invesco has contracted with RiskMetrics to provide proxy analyses, vote recommendations and voting of proxies. Unless noted otherwise by RiskMetrics, each vote recommendation provided by RiskMetrics to Invesco shall include a representation from RiskMetrics that RiskMetrics has no conflict of interest with respect to the vote. In instances where RiskMetrics has recused itself or makes no recommendation on a particular matter, or if an override submission is requested, the Proxy Committee shall determine how the proxy is to be voted and instruct the Proxy Manager accordingly, in which case the conflict of interest provisions discussed below shall apply.
     In effecting the policy of voting proxies in the best economic interests of clients, there may be occasions where the voting of such proxies may present a real or perceived conflict of interest between Invesco, as the investment manager, and Invesco’s clients. For each director, officer and employee of Invesco (“Invesco person”), the interests of Invesco’s clients must come first, ahead of the interest of Invesco and any Invesco person, including Invesco’s affiliates. Accordingly, no Invesco person may put “personal benefit,” whether tangible or intangible, before the interests of clients of Invesco or otherwise take advantage of the relationship with Invesco’s clients. “Personal benefit” includes any intended benefit for oneself or any other individual, company, group or organization of any kind whatsoever, except a benefit for a client of Invesco, as appropriate. It is imperative that each Invesco person avoid any situation that might compromise, or call into question, the exercise of fully independent judgment that is in the interests of Invesco’s clients.
     Occasions may arise where a person or organization involved in the proxy voting process may have a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest may exist if Invesco has a business relationship with (or is actively soliciting business from) either the company soliciting the proxy or a third party that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a particular outcome of a proxy vote. Additional examples of situations where a conflict may exist include:
  §   Business Relationships — where Invesco manages money for a company or an employee group, manages pension assets or is actively soliciting any such business, or leases office space from a company;
 
  §   Personal Relationships — where an Invesco person has a personal relationship with other proponents of proxy proposals, participants in proxy contests, corporate directors, or candidates for directorships; and
 
  §   Familial Relationships — where an Invesco person has a known familial relationship relating to a company (e.g. a spouse or other relative who serves as a director of a public company or is employed by the company).
     In the event that the Proxy Committee determines that Invesco (or an affiliate) has a material conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will not take into consideration the relationship giving rise to the conflict of interest and shall, in its sole discretion, either (a) decide to vote the proxies pursuant to RiskMetrics’ general proxy voting guidelines, (b) engage an independent third party to provide a vote recommendation, or (c) contact Invesco’s client(s) for direction as to how to vote the proxies.

E-46


Table of Contents

     In the event an Invesco person has a conflict of interest and has knowledge of such conflict of interest, it is the responsibility of such Invesco person to disclose the conflict to the Chief Compliance Officer. When a Proxy Committee meeting is called, the Chief Compliance Officer will report to the Proxy Committee all real or potential conflicts of interest for the Proxy Committee to review and determine whether such conflict is material. If the Proxy Committee determines that such conflict is material and involves a person involved in the proxy voting process, the Proxy Committee may require such person to recuse himself or herself from participating in the discussions regarding the proxy vote item and from casting a vote regarding how Invesco should vote such proxy. An Invesco person will not be considered to have a material conflict of interest if the Invesco person did not know of the conflict of interest and did not attempt to influence the outcome of a proxy vote.
     In order to ensure compliance with these procedures, the Proxy Manager and each member of the Proxy Committee shall certify annually as to their compliance with this policy. In addition, any Invesco person who submits a RiskMetrics override recommendation to the Proxy Committee shall certify as to their compliance with this policy concurrently with the submission of their override recommendation. A form of such certification is attached as Appendix A hereto.
     In addition, members of the Proxy Committee must notify Invesco’s Chief Compliance Officer, with impunity and without fear of retribution or retaliation, of any direct, indirect or perceived improper influence exerted by any Invesco person or by an affiliated company’s representatives with regard to how Invesco should vote proxies. The Chief Compliance Officer will investigate the allegations and will report his or her findings to the Invesco Risk Management Committee. In the event that it is determined that improper influence was exerted, the Risk Management Committee will determine the appropriate action to take, which actions may include, but are not limited to, (1) notifying the affiliated company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Management Committee or Board of Directors, (2) taking remedial action, if necessary, to correct the result of any improper influence where clients have been harmed, or (3) notifying the appropriate regulatory agencies of the improper influence and cooperating fully with these regulatory agencies as required. In all cases, the Proxy Committee shall not take into consideration the improper influence in determining how to vote proxies and will vote proxies solely in the best economic interests of clients.

Proxy Voting
         
Policy Number: B-6   Effective Date: May 1, 2001   Revision Date: January 2009
PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
In its trusteeship and management of mutual funds, Invesco Trimark acts as fiduciary to the unitholders and must act in their best interests.
APPLICATION
Invesco Trimark will make every effort to exercise all voting rights with respect to securities held in the mutual funds that it manages in Canada or to which it provides sub-advisory services, including a Fund registered under and governed by the US Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “US Funds”) (collectively, the “Funds”). Proxies for the funds distributed by Invesco Trimark and managed by an affiliate or a third party (a “Sub-Advisor”) will be voted in accordance with the Sub-Advisor’s policy, unless the sub-advisory agreement provides otherwise.
The portfolio managers have responsibility for exercising all proxy votes and in doing so, for acting in the best interest of the Fund. Portfolio managers must vote proxies in accordance with the Invesco Trimark Proxy Voting Guidelines (the Guidelines), as amended from time to time, a copy of which is attached to this policy.
When a proxy is voted against the recommendation of the publicly traded company’s Board, the portfolio manager will provide to the Chief Investment Officer (“CIO”) or designate the reasons in writing for any vote in opposition to management’s recommendation.
Invesco Trimark may delegate to a third party the responsibility to vote proxies on behalf of all or certain Funds, in accordance with the Guidelines.
RECORDS MANAGEMENT
The Invesco Trimark Investment Operations department will endeavour to ensure that all proxies and notices are received from all issuers on a timely basis, and will maintain for all Funds:
    A record of all proxies received;
 
    a record of votes cast;
 
    a copy of the reasons for voting against management; and for the US Funds
 
    the documents mentioned above; and
 
    a copy of any document created by Invesco Trimark that was material to making a decision how to vote proxies on behalf of a U.S. Fund and that memorializes the basis of that decision.

E-49


Table of Contents

Invesco Trimark has a dedicated person ( “Administrator”) who manages all proxy voting materials. Proxy voting circulars for all companies are received electronically through an external service provider. Circulars for North American companies and ADRs are generally also received in paper format.
Once a circular is received, the Administrator verifies that all shares and Funds affected are correctly listed. The Administrator then gives a copy of the proxy ballot to each affected portfolio manager and maintains a tracking list to ensure that all proxies are voted within the prescribed deadlines.
Once voting information has been received from the portfolio managers, voting instructions are sent electronically to the service provider who then forwards the instructions to the appropriate proxy voting agent or transfer agent. The external service provider retains on behalf of Invesco Trimark a record of the votes cast and agrees to provide Invesco Trimark with a copy of proxy records promptly upon request. The service provider must make all documents available to Invesco Trimark for a period of 7 years. In the event that Invesco Trimark ceases to use an external service provider, all documents would be maintained and preserved in an easily accessible place i) for a period of 2 years where Invesco Trimark carries on business in Canada and ii) for a period of 5 years thereafter at the same location or at any other location.
Reporting
The CIO will report on proxy voting to the Fund Boards on an annual basis with respect to all funds managed in Canada or distributed by Invesco Trimark and managed by a Sub-Advisor. The CIO will report on proxy voting to the Board of Directors of the US Funds as required from time to time.
In accordance with National Instrument 81-106 (NI 81-106), proxy voting records for all Canadian mutual funds for years ending June 30 th are posted on Invesco Trimark’s website no later than August 31 st of each year.
The Invesco Trimark Compliance department will review the proxy voting records held by Invesco Trimark on an annual basis to confirm that proxy voting records are posted by the August 31 st deadline under NI 81-106. A summary of the review will be retained onsite for 2 years and thereafter offsite for 5 years with a designated records maintenance firm.

INVESCO TRIMARK
PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to describe Invesco Trimark’s general guidelines for voting proxies received from companies held in Invesco Trimark’s Toronto-based funds. Proxy voting for the funds managed on behalf of Invesco Trimark on a sub-advised basis (i.e. by other Invesco business units or on a third party basis) are subject to the proxy voting policies & procedures of those other entities. As part of its regular due diligence, Invesco Trimark will review the proxy voting policies & procedures of any new sub-advisors to ensure that they are appropriate in the circumstances.
Introduction
Invesco Trimark has the fiduciary obligation to ensure that the long-term economic best interest of unitholders is the key consideration when voting proxies of portfolio companies.
The default is to vote with the recommendation of the publicly traded company’s Board.
As a general rule, Invesco Trimark shall vote against any actions that would:
    reduce the rights or options of shareholders,
 
    reduce shareholder influence over the board of directors and management,
 
    reduce the alignment of interests between management and shareholders, or
 
    reduce the value of shareholders’ investments.
At the same time, since Invesco Trimark’s Toronto-based portfolio managers follow an investment discipline that includes investing in companies that are believed to have strong management teams, the portfolio managers will generally support the management of companies in which they invest, and will accord proper weight to the positions of a company’s board of directors. Therefore, in most circumstances, votes will be cast in accordance with the recommendations of the company’s board of directors.
While Invesco Trimark’s proxy voting guidelines are stated below, the portfolio managers will take into consideration all relevant facts and circumstances (including country specific considerations), and retain the right to vote proxies as deemed appropriate.
These guidelines may be amended from time to time.
Conflicts of Interest
When voting proxies, Invesco Trimark’s portfolio managers assess whether there are material conflicts of interest between Invesco Trimark’s interests and those of unitholders. A potential conflict of interest situation may include where Invesco Trimark or an affiliate manages assets for, provides other financial services to, or otherwise has a material business relationship with, a company whose management is soliciting proxies, and failure to vote in favour of management of the company may harm Invesco Trimark’s relationship with the company. In all situations, the portfolio managers will not take Invesco Trimark’s relationship with the company into account, and will vote the proxies in the best interest of the unitholders. To the extent that a portfolio manager has any personal conflict of interest with respect to a company or an issue presented, that portfolio manager should abstain from voting on that company or

issue. Portfolio managers are required to report to the CIO any such conflicts of interest and/or attempts by outside parties to improperly influence the voting process. The CIO will report any conflicts of interest to the Trading Committee and the Independent Review Committee on an annual basis.
I BOARDS OF DIRECTORS
We believe that a board that has at least a majority of independent directors is integral to good corporate governance. Unless there are restrictions specific to a company’s home jurisdiction, key board committees, including audit and compensation committees, should be completely independent.
Voting on Director Nominees in Uncontested Elections
Votes in an uncontested election of directors are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering factors that may include:
    Long-term company performance relative to a market index,
 
    Composition of the board and key board committees,
 
    Nominee’s attendance at board meetings,
 
    Nominee’s time commitments as a result of serving on other company boards,
 
    Nominee’s investments in the company,
 
    Whether the chairman is also serving as CEO, and
 
    Whether a retired CEO sits on the board.
Voting on Director Nominees in Contested Elections
Votes in a contested election of directors are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering factors that may include:
    Long-term financial performance of the target company relative to its industry,
 
    Management’s track record,
 
    Background to the proxy contest,
 
    Qualifications of director nominees (both slates),
 
    Evaluation of what each side is offering shareholders as well as the likelihood that the proposed objectives and goals can be met, and
 
    Stock ownership positions.
Majority Threshold Voting for Director Elections
We will generally vote for proposals that require directors to be elected with an affirmative majority of votes cast unless the relevant portfolio manager believes that the company has adopted formal corporate governance principles that present a meaningful alternative to the majority voting standard and provide an adequate and timely response to both new nominees as well as incumbent nominees who fail to receive a majority of votes cast.

E-52

Reimbursement of Proxy Solicitation Expenses
Decisions to provide reimbursement for dissidents waging a proxy contest are made on a case-by-case basis .
Separating Chairman and CEO
Shareholder proposals to separate the chairman and CEO positions should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis .
While we generally support these proposals, some companies have governance structures in place that can satisfactorily counterbalance a combined position. Voting decisions will take into account factors such as:
    Designated lead director, appointed from the ranks of the independent board members with clearly delineated duties;
 
    Majority of independent directors;
 
    All-independent key committees;
 
    Committee chairpersons nominated by the independent directors;
 
    CEO performance is reviewed annually by a committee of outside directors; and
 
    Established governance guidelines.
Majority of Independent Directors
While we generally support shareholder proposals asking that a majority of directors be independent, each proposal should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
We generally vote for shareholder proposals that request that the board’s audit, compensation, and/or nominating committees be composed exclusively of independent directors.
Stock Ownership Requirements
We believe that individual directors should be appropriately compensated and motivated to act in the best interests of shareholders. Share ownership by directors better aligns their interests with those of other shareholders. Therefore, we believe that meaningful share ownership by directors is in the best interest of the company.
We generally vote for proposals that require a certain percentage of a director’s compensation to be in the form of common stock.
Size of Boards of Directors
We believe that the number of directors is important to ensuring the board’s effectiveness in maximizing long-term shareholder value. The board must be large enough to allow it to adequately discharge its responsibilities, without being so large that it becomes cumbersome.

E-53


Table of Contents

While we will prefer a board of no fewer than 5 and no more than 16 members, each situation will be considered on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration the specific company circumstances.
Classified or Staggered Boards
In a classified or staggered board, directors are typically elected in two or more “classes”, serving terms greater than one year.
We prefer the annual election of all directors and will generally not support proposals that provide for staggered terms for board members. We recognize that there may be jurisdictions where staggered terms for board members is common practice and, in such situations, we will review the proposals on a case-by-case basis.
Director Indemnification and Liability Protection
We recognize that many individuals may be reluctant to serve as corporate directors if they were to be personally liable for all lawsuits and legal costs. As a result, limitations on directors’ liability can benefit the corporation and its shareholders by helping to attract and retain qualified directors while providing recourse to shareholders on areas of misconduct by directors.
We generally vote for proposals that limit directors’ liability and provide indemnification as long as the arrangements are limited to the director acting honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal matters, are limited to the director having reasonable grounds for believing the conduct was lawful.
II AUDITORS
A strong audit process is a requirement for good corporate governance. A significant aspect of the audit process is a strong relationship with a knowledgeable and independent set of auditors.
Ratification of Auditors
We believe a company should limit its relationship with its auditors to the audit engagement, and certain closely related activities that do not, in the aggregate, raise an appearance of impaired independence.
We generally vote for the reappointment of the company’s auditors unless:
    It is not clear that the auditors will be able to fulfill their function;
 
    There is reason to believe the auditors have rendered an opinion that is neither accurate nor indicative of the company’s financial position; or
 
    The auditors have a significant professional or personal relationship with the issuer that compromises their independence.
Disclosure of Audit vs. Non-Audit Fees
Understanding the fees earned by the auditors is important for assessing auditor independence. Our support for the re-appointment of the auditors will take into consideration whether the management information circular contains adequate disclosure about the amount and nature of audit vs. non-audit fees.

E-54


Table of Contents

There may be certain jurisdictions that do not currently require disclosure of audit vs. non-audit fees. In these circumstances, we will generally support proposals that call for this disclosure.
III COMPENSATION PROGRAMS
Appropriately designed equity-based compensation plans, approved by shareholders, can be an effective way to align the interests of long-term shareholders and the interests of management, employees and directors. Plans should not substantially dilute shareholders’ ownership interests in the company, provide participants with excessive awards or have objectionable structural features. We will consider each compensation plan in its entirety (including all incentives, awards and other compensation) to determine if the plan provides the right incentives to managers and directors and is reasonable on the whole.
While we generally encourage companies to provide more transparent disclosure related to their compensation programs, the following are specific guidelines dealing with some of the more common features of these programs (features not specifically itemized below will be considered on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration the general principles described above):
Cash Compensation and Severance Packages
We will generally support the board’s discretion to determine and grant appropriate cash compensation and severance packages.
Equity Based Plans — Dilution
We will generally vote against equity-based plans where the total dilution (including all equity-based plans) is excessive. The CIO will require a written explanation any time a portfolio manager votes against an equity-based plans.
Employee Stock Purchase Plans

We will generally vote for the use of employee stock purchase plans to increase company stock ownership by employees, provided that shares purchased under the plan are acquired for no less than 85% of their market value. It is recognized that country specific circumstances may exist (e.g. tax issues) that require proposals to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Loans to Employees
We will vote against the corporation making loans to employees to allow employees to pay for stock or stock options. It is recognized that country specific circumstances may exist that require proposals to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Stock Option Plans – Board Discretion
We will vote against stock option plans that give the board broad discretion in setting the terms and conditions of the programs. Such programs should be submitted with detail and be reasonable in the circumstances regarding their cost, scope, frequency and schedule for exercising the options.
Stock Option Plans – Inappropriate Features
We will generally vote against plans that have any of the following structural features:
    ability to re-price “underwater” options without shareholder approval,

E-55


Table of Contents

    ability to issue options with an exercise price below the stock’s current market price,
 
    ability to issue “reload” options, or
 
    automatic share replenishment (“evergreen”) features.
Stock Option Plans – Director Eligibility
While we prefer stock ownership by directors, we will support stock option plans for directors as long as the terms and conditions of director options are clearly defined
Stock Option Plans — Repricing
We will vote for proposals to re-price options if there is a value-for-value (rather than a share-for-share) exchange.
Stock Option Plans — Vesting
We will vote against stock option plans that are 100% vested when granted.
Stock Option Plans – Authorized Allocations
We will generally vote against stock option plans that authorize allocation of 25% or more of the available options to any one individual.
Stock Option Plans – Change in Control Provisions
We will vote against stock option plans with change in control provisions that allow option holders to receive more for their options than shareholders would receive for their shares.
IV CORPORATE MATTERS
We will review management proposals relating to changes to capital structure, reincorporation, restructuring and mergers & acquisitions on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the impact of the changes on corporate governance and shareholder rights, anticipated financial and operating benefits, portfolio manager views, level of dilution, and a company’s industry and performance in terms of shareholder returns.
Common Stock Authorization
We will review proposals to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issue on a case-by-case basis.
Dual Class Share Structures
Dual class share structures involve a second class of common stock with either superior or inferior voting rights to those of another class of stock.
We will generally vote against proposals to create or extend dual class share structures where certain stockholders have superior or inferior voting rights to another class of stock.

E-56


Table of Contents

Stock Splits
We will vote for proposals to increase common share authorization for a stock split, provided that the increase in authorized shares would not result in excessive dilution given a company’s industry and performance in terms of shareholder returns.
Reverse Stock Splits
We will vote for management proposals to implement a reverse stock split, provided that the reverse split does not result in an increase of authorized but unissued shares of more than 100% after giving effect to the shares needed for the reverse split.
Share Repurchase Programs
We will vote against proposals to institute open-market share repurchase plans if all shareholders do not participate on an equal basis.
Reincorporation
Reincorporation involves re-establishing the company in a different legal jurisdiction.
We will generally vote for proposals to reincorporate the company provided that the board and management have demonstrated sound financial or business reasons for the move. Proposals to reincorporate will not be supported if solely as part of an anti-takeover defense or as a way to limit directors’ liability.
Mergers & Acquisitions
We will vote for merger & acquisition proposals that the relevant portfolio managers believe, based on their review of the materials:
    will result in financial and operating benefits,
 
    have a fair offer price,
 
    have favourable prospects for the combined companies, and
 
    will not have a negative impact on corporate governance or shareholder rights.
V SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We recognize that to effectively manage a corporation, directors and management must consider not only the interests of shareholders, but the interests of employees, customers, suppliers, and creditors, among others.
We believe that companies and their boards must give careful consideration to social responsibility issues in order to enhance long-term shareholder value.
We support efforts by companies to develop policies and practices that consider social responsibility issues related to their businesses.

E-57


Table of Contents

VI SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Shareholder proposals can be extremely complex, and the impact on the interests of all stakeholders can rarely be anticipated with a high degree of confidence. As a result, shareholder proposals will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with consideration of factors such as:
    the proposal’s impact on the company’s short-term and long-term share value,
 
    its effect on the company’s reputation,
 
    the economic effect of the proposal,
 
    industry and regional norms applicable to the company,
 
    the company’s overall corporate governance provisions, and
 
    the reasonableness of the request.
We will generally support shareholder proposals that require additional disclosure regarding corporate responsibility issues where the relevant portfolio manager believes:
    the company has failed to adequately address these issues with shareholders,
 
    there is information to suggest that a company follows procedures that are not in compliance with applicable regulations, or
 
    the company fails to provide a level of disclosure that is comparable to industry peers or generally accepted standards.
We will generally not support shareholder proposals that place arbitrary or artificial constraints on the board, management or the company.
Ordinary Business Practices
We will generally support the board’s discretion regarding shareholder proposals that involve ordinary business practices.
Protection of Shareholder Rights
We will generally vote for shareholder proposals that are designed to protect shareholder rights if the company’s corporate governance standards indicate that such additional protections are warranted.
Barriers to Shareholder Action
We will generally vote for proposals to lower barriers to shareholder action.
Shareholder Rights Plans
We will generally vote for proposals to subject shareholder rights plans to a shareholder vote.

E-58


Table of Contents

VII OTHER
We will vote against any proposal where the proxy materials lack sufficient information upon which to base an informed decision.
We will vote against any proposals to authorize the company to conduct any other business that is not described in the proxy statement (including the authority to approve any further amendments to an otherwise approved resolution).

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
Portfolio Manager Fund Holdings and Information on Other Managed Accounts
     Invesco’s portfolio managers develop investment models which are used in connection with the management of certain Invesco Funds as well as other mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals. The following chart reflects the portfolio managers’ investments in the Funds that they manage. The chart also reflects information regarding accounts other than the Funds for which each portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities. Accounts are grouped into three categories: (i) other registered investment companies, (ii) other pooled investment vehicles and (iii) other accounts. To the extent that any of these accounts pay advisory fees that are based on account performance (performance-based fees), information on those accounts is specifically broken out. In addition, any assets denominated in foreign currencies have been converted into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates as of the applicable date.
The following information is as of February 28, 2010:

Potential Conflicts of Interest
     Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one Fund or other account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple Funds and/or other accounts may be presented with one or more of the following potential conflicts:
Ø   The management of multiple Funds and/or other accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each Fund and/or other account. The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most other accounts managed by a portfolio manager are managed using the same investment models that are used in connection with the management of the Funds.
 
Ø   If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one Fund or other account, a Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible Funds and other accounts. To deal with these situations, the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser and the Funds have adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts.
 
Ø   The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser determine which broker to use to execute each order for securities transactions for the Funds, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, for certain other accounts (such as mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals), the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, trades for a Fund in a particular security may be placed separately from, rather than aggregated with, such other accounts. Having separate transactions with respect to a security may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the possible detriment of the Fund or other account(s) involved.
 
Ø   Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the Adviser or Sub-Adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one Fund or account but not all Funds and accounts for which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.

     The Adviser, each Sub-Adviser, and the Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
Description of Compensation Structure
For the Adviser and each affiliated Sub-Adviser
     The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to maintain a compensation program that is competitively positioned to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. Portfolio managers receive a base salary, an incentive bonus opportunity and an equity compensation opportunity. Portfolio manager compensation is reviewed and may be modified each year as appropriate to reflect changes in the market, as well as to adjust the factors used to determine bonuses to promote competitive Fund performance. The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser evaluate competitive market compensation by reviewing compensation survey results conducted by an independent third party of investment industry compensation. Each portfolio manager’s compensation consists of the following three elements:
      Base Salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary. In setting the base salary, the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser’s intention is to be competitive in light of the particular portfolio manager’s experience and responsibilities.
      Annual Bonus. The portfolio managers are eligible, along with other employees of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, to participate in a discretionary year-end bonus pool. The Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd. reviews and approves the amount of the bonus pool available for the Adviser and each of the Sub-Adviser’s investment centers. The Compensation Committee considers investment performance and financial results in its review. In addition, while having no direct impact on individual bonuses, assets under management are considered when determining the starting bonus funding levels. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which is based on quantitative (i.e. investment performance) and non-quantitative factors (which may include, but are not limited to, individual performance, risk management and teamwork).
     Each portfolio manager’s compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the Funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager as described in Table 1 below.

Table of Contents

     Invesco — Invesco Real Estate U.S.’s bonus is based on net operating profits of Invesco - Invesco Real Estate U.S.
     Invesco Senior Secured’s bonus is based on annual measures of equity return and standard tests of collateralization performance.
     High investment performance (against applicable peer group and/or benchmarks) would deliver compensation generally associated with top pay in the industry (determined by reference to the third-party provided compensation survey information) and poor investment performance (versus applicable peer group) would result in low bonus compared to the applicable peer group or no bonus at all. These decisions are reviewed and approved collectively by senior leadership which has responsibility for executing the compensation approach across the organization.
      Equity-Based Compensation. Portfolio managers may be granted an award that allows them to select receipt of shares of certain Invesco Funds with a vesting period as well as common shares and/or restricted shares of Invesco Ltd. stock from pools determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd.’s Board of Directors. Awards of equity-based compensation typically vest over time, so as to create incentives to retain key talent.
     Portfolio managers also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all employees.

APPENDIX L
PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES
Transactions through Financial Intermediaries
     If you are investing indirectly in a Fund through a financial intermediary such as a broker-dealer, a bank (including a bank trust department), an insurance company separate account, an investment adviser, an administrator or trustee of a retirement plan or a qualified tuition plan or a sponsor of a fee-based program that maintains a master account (an omnibus account) with the Fund for trading on behalf of its customers, different guidelines, conditions and restrictions may apply than if you held your shares of the Fund directly. These differences may include, but are not limited to: (i) different eligibility standards to purchase and sell shares, different eligibility standards to invest in Funds with limited offering status and different eligibility standards to exchange shares by telephone; (ii) different minimum and maximum initial and subsequent purchase amounts; (iii) system inability to provide Letter of Intent privileges; and (iv) different annual amounts (less than 12%) subject to withdrawal under a Systematic Redemption Plan without being subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The financial intermediary through whom you are investing may also choose to adopt different exchange and/or transfer limit guidelines and restrictions, including different trading restrictions designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading. The financial intermediary through whom you are investing may also choose to impose a redemption fee that has different characteristics, which may be more or less restrictive, than the redemption fee currently imposed on certain Funds.
     If the financial intermediary is managing your account, you may also be charged a transaction or other fee by such financial intermediary, including service fees for handling redemption transactions. Consult with your financial intermediary (or, in the case of a retirement plan, your plan sponsor) to determine what fees, guidelines, conditions and restrictions, including any of the above, may be applicable to you.
Purchase and Redemption of Shares
Purchases of Class A Shares, Class A2 Shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund
      Initial Sales Charges . Each Invesco Fund (other than Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund) is grouped into one of four categories to determine the applicable initial sales charge for its Class A shares. The sales charge is used to compensate Invesco Invesco Distributors and participating dealers for their expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of the Funds’ shares. You may also be charged a transaction or other fee by the financial institution managing your account.
     Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund are sold without an initial sales charge.

     Effective February 1, 2010, Class A3 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund are renamed Class A shares.
      Large Purchases of Class A Shares . Investors who purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or IV Funds do not pay an initial sales charge. In addition, investors who currently own Class A shares of Category I, II or IV Funds and make additional purchases that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more do not pay an initial sales charge on the additional purchases. The additional purchases, as well as initial purchases of $1,000,000 or more, are referred to as Large Purchases. If an investor makes a Large Purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Funds, each share will generally be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the investor redeems those shares within 18 months after purchase.
     Invesco Distributors may pay a dealer concession and/or advance a service fee on Large Purchases, as set forth below. Exchanges between the Invesco Funds may affect total compensation paid.
      Purchases of Class A Shares by Non-Retirement Plans . Invesco Distributors may make the following payments to dealers of record for Large Purchases of Class A shares of Category I, II or IV Funds by investors other than: (i) retirement plans that are maintained pursuant to Sections 401 and 457 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and (ii) retirement plans that are maintained pursuant to Section 403 of the Code if the employer or plan sponsor is a tax-exempt organization operated pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code:
Percent of Purchases
1% of the first $2 million
plus 0.80% of the next $1 million
plus 0.50% of the next $17 million
plus 0.25% of amounts in excess of $20 million
     If (i) the amount of any single purchase order plus (ii) the public offering price of all other shares owned by the same customer submitting the purchase order on the day on which the purchase order is received equals or exceeds $1,000,000, the purchase will be considered a “jumbo accumulation purchase.” With regard to any individual jumbo accumulation purchase, Invesco Distributors may make payment to the dealer of record based on the cumulative total of jumbo accumulation purchases made by the same customer over the life of his or her account(s).
     If an investor made a Large Purchase of Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund (formerly the Class A3 funds) on and after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010, and exchanges those shares for Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, Invesco Distributors will pay 1.00% of such purchase as dealer compensation upon the exchange. The Class A shares of the Category I, II or IV Fund received in exchange generally will be subject to a 1.00% CDSC if the investor redeems such shares within 18 months from the date of exchange.
     Purchases of Class A Shares by Certain Retirement Plans at NAV. For purchases of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds, Invesco Distributors may make the following payments to investment dealers or other financial service firms for sales of such shares at net asset value (NAV) to certain retirement plans provided that the applicable dealer of record is able to establish that the retirement plan’s purchase of such Class A shares is a new investment (as defined below):
Percent of Purchases
0.50% of the first $20 million
plus 0.25% of amounts in excess of $20 million

L-4


Table of Contents

     This payment schedule will be applicable to purchases of Class A shares at NAV by the following types of retirement plans: (i) all plans maintained pursuant to Sections 401 and 457 of the Code, and (ii) plans maintained pursuant to Section 403 of the Code if the employer or plan sponsor is a tax-exempt organization operated pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code.
     A “new investment” means a purchase paid for with money that does not represent (i) the proceeds of one or more redemptions of Invesco Fund shares, (ii) an exchange of Invesco Fund shares, (iii) the repayment of one or more retirement plan loans that were funded through the redemption of Invesco Fund shares, or (iv) money returned from another fund family. If Invesco Distributors pays a dealer concession in connection with a plan’s purchase of Class A shares at NAV, such shares may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of net assets for 12 months, commencing on the date the plan first invests in Class A shares of an Invesco Fund. If the applicable dealer of record is unable to establish that a plan’s purchase of Class A shares at NAV is a new investment, Invesco Distributors will not pay a dealer concession in connection with such purchase and such shares will not be subject to a CDSC.
     With regard to any individual jumbo accumulation purchase, Invesco Distributors may make payment to the dealer of record based on the cumulative total of jumbo accumulation purchases made by the same plan over the life of the plan’s account(s).
      Purchasers Qualifying For Reductions in Initial Sales Charges . As shown in the tables above, purchases of certain amounts of Invesco Fund shares may reduce the initial sales charges.

Table of Contents

Individuals
      an Individual (including his or her spouse or domestic partner, and children);
 
      a retirement plan established exclusively for the benefit of an Individual, specifically including, but not limited to, a Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, Solo 401(k), Keogh plan, or a tax-sheltered 403(b)(7) custodial account; and
 
      a qualified tuition plan account, maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, or a Coverdell Education Savings Account, maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account must be established by an Individual or have an Individual named as the beneficiary thereof).
Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans
      a retirement plan maintained pursuant to Sections 401, 403 (only if the employer or plan sponsor is a tax-exempt organization operated pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code), 408 (includes SEP, SARSEP and SIMPLE IRA plans) or 457 of the Code, if:
  a.   the employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
 
  b.   each transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
 
  c.   if the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked, and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
      How to Qualify For Reductions in Initial Sales Charges . The following sections discuss different ways that a Qualified Purchaser can qualify for a reduction in the initial sales charges for purchases of Class A shares of the Invesco Funds.
Letters of Intent
     A Qualified Purchaser may pay reduced initial sales charges by (i) indicating on the Account Application that he, she or it intends to provide a Letter of Intent (LOI); and (ii) subsequently fulfilling the conditions of that LOI. Employer-sponsored retirement plans, with the exception of Solo 401(k) plans and SEP plans, are not eligible for a LOI.
     The LOI confirms the total investment in shares of the Invesco Funds that the Qualified Purchaser intends to make within the next 13 months. By marking the LOI section on the account application and by signing the account application, the Qualified Purchaser indicates that he, she or it understands and agrees to the terms of the LOI and is bound by the provisions described below:
Calculating the Initial Sales Charge
      Each purchase of Fund shares normally subject to an initial sales charge made during the 13-month period will be made at the public offering price applicable to a single transaction of the total dollar amount indicated by the LOI (to determine what the applicable public offering price is, look at the sales charge table in the section on “Initial Sales Charges” above).
 
      It is the purchaser’s responsibility at the time of purchase to specify the account numbers that should be considered in determining the appropriate sales charge.

L-6


Table of Contents

    The offering price may be further reduced as described below under “Rights of Accumulation” if Invesco Investment Services, the Funds’ transfer agent (Transfer Agent) is advised of all other accounts at the time of the investment.
 
    Reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions acquired during the 13-month LOI period will not be applied to the LOI.
Calculating the Number of Shares to be Purchased
    Purchases made and shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions prior to the LOI effective date will be applied toward the completion of the LOI based on the value of the shares calculated at the public offering price on the effective date of the LOI.
 
    If a purchaser wishes to revise the LOI investment amount upward, he, she or it may submit a written and signed request at anytime prior to the completion of the original LOI. This revision will not change the original expiration date.
 
    The Transfer Agent will process necessary adjustments upon the expiration or completion date of the LOI.
Fulfilling the Intended Investment
    By signing an LOI, a purchaser is not making a binding commitment to purchase additional shares, but if purchases made within the 13-month period do not total the amount specified, the purchaser will have to pay the increased amount of sales charge.
 
    To assure compliance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Transfer Agent will reserve, in escrow or similar arrangement, in the form of shares an appropriate dollar amount (computed to the nearest full share) out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases if necessary). All dividends and any capital gain distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the purchaser. All shares purchased, including those reserved, will be registered in the purchaser’s name. If the total investment specified under this LOI is completed within the 13-month period, the reserved shares will be promptly released.
 
    If the intended investment is not completed, the purchaser will pay the Transfer Agent the difference between the sales charge on the specified amount and the sales charge on the total amount actually purchased. If the purchaser does not pay such difference within 20 days of the expiration date, the Transfer Agent will surrender for redemption any or all shares, to make up such difference within 60 days of the expiration date.
Canceling the LOI
    If at any time before completing the LOI Program, the purchaser wishes to cancel the agreement, he or she must give written notice to Invesco Distributors or its designee.
 
    If at any time before completing the LOI Program the purchaser requests the Transfer Agent to liquidate or transfer beneficial ownership of his total shares, the LOI will be automatically canceled. If the total amount purchased is less than the amount specified in the LOI, the Transfer Agent will redeem an appropriate number of reserved shares equal to the difference between the sales charge actually paid and the sales charge that would have been paid if the total purchases had been made at a single time.

L-7


Table of Contents

Other Persons Eligible for the LOI Privilege
     The LOI privilege is also available to holders of the Connecticut General Guaranteed Account, established for tax qualified group annuities, for contracts purchased on or before June 30, 1992.
LOIs and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
     All LOIs to purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds are subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
Rights of Accumulation
     A Qualified Purchaser may also qualify for reduced initial sales charges based upon his, her or its existing investment in shares of any of the Invesco Funds at the time of the proposed purchase. To determine whether or not a reduced initial sales charge applies to a proposed purchase, Invesco Distributors takes into account not only the money which is invested upon such proposed purchase, but also the value of all shares of the Invesco Funds owned by such purchaser, calculated at their then current public offering price.
     If a purchaser qualifies for a reduced sales charge, the reduced sales charge applies to the total amount of money being invested, even if only a portion of that amount exceeds the breakpoint for the reduced sales charge. For example, if a purchaser already owns qualifying shares of any Invesco Fund with a value of $30,000 and wishes to invest an additional $30,000 in a Fund with a maximum initial sales charge of 5.50%, the reduced initial sales charge of 4.50% will apply to the full $30,000 purchase and not just to the $10,000 in excess of the $50,000 breakpoint.
     To qualify for obtaining the discount applicable to a particular purchase, the purchaser or his dealer must furnish the Transfer Agent with a list of the account numbers and the names in which such accounts of the purchaser are registered at the time the purchase is made.
     Rights of Accumulation are also available to holders of the Connecticut General Guaranteed Account, established for tax-qualified group annuities, for contracts purchased on or before June 30, 1992.
     If an investor’s new purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund is at net asset value, the newly purchased shares will be subject to a CDSC if the investor redeems them prior to the end of the 18 month holding period.
      Other Requirements For Reductions in Initial Sales Charges . As discussed above, investors or dealers seeking to qualify orders for a reduced initial sales charge must identify such orders and, if necessary, support their qualification for the reduced charge. Invesco Distributors reserves the right to determine whether any purchaser is entitled to the reduced sales charge based on the definition of a Qualified Purchaser listed above. No person or entity may distribute shares of the Invesco Funds without payment of the applicable sales charge other than to Qualified Purchasers.
     Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund and Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges.
      Purchases of Class A Shares at Net Asset Value . Invesco Distributors permits certain categories of persons to purchase Class A shares of Invesco Funds without paying an initial sales charge. These are typically categories of persons whose transactions involve little expense, such as persons who have a relationship with the Funds or with Invesco and certain programs for purchase. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors or its designee of any qualifying relationship at the time of purchase.

L-8


Table of Contents

     Invesco Distributors believes that it is appropriate and in the Funds’ best interests that such persons, and certain other persons whose purchases result in relatively low expenses of distribution, be permitted to purchase shares through Invesco Distributors without payment of a sales charge.
     Accordingly, the following purchasers will not pay initial sales charges on purchases of Class A shares because there is a reduced sales effort involved in sales to these purchasers:

      Any investor who purchases their shares through an approved fee-based program (this may include any type of account for which there is some alternative arrangement made between the investor and the intermediary to provide for compensation of the intermediary for services rendered in connection with the sale of the shares and maintenance of the customer relationship);
 
      Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor to another retirement plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a Fund held through the plan or account;
 
      Employer-sponsored retirement plans (the Plan or Plans) that are Qualified Purchasers, as defined above, provided that such Plans:
  a.   have assets of at least $1 million; or
 
  b.   have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan; or
 
  c.   execute through a single omnibus account per Fund; further provided that Plans maintained pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Code are not eligible to purchase shares without paying an initial sales charge based on the aggregate investment made by the Plan or the number of eligible employees unless the employer or Plan sponsor is a tax-exempt organization operated pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code;
      “Grandfathered” shareholders as follows:
  a.   Shareholders of record of Advisor Class shares of Invesco International Growth Fund or Invesco Worldwide Growth Fund on February 12, 1999 who have continuously owned shares of the Invesco Funds;

  c.   Unitholders of G/SET series unit investment trusts investing proceeds from such trusts in shares of Invesco Constellation Fund; provided, however, prior to the termination date of the trusts, a unitholder may invest proceeds from the redemption or repurchase of his units only when the investment in shares of Invesco Constellation Fund is effected within 30 days of the redemption or repurchase;
 
  d.   A shareholder of a Fund that merges or consolidates with an Invesco Fund or that sells its assets to an Invesco Fund in exchange for shares of an Invesco Fund;
 
  e.   Shareholders of the former GT Global Funds as of April 30, 1987 who since that date continually have owned shares of one or more of these Funds;
 
  f.   Certain former AMA Investment Advisers’ shareholders who became shareholders of the Invesco Global Health Care Fund in October 1989, and who have continuously held shares in the GT Global Funds since that time;
 
  g.   Shareholders of record of Advisor Class shares of an Invesco Fund on February 11, 2000 who have continuously owned shares of that Invesco Fund, and who purchase additional shares of that Invesco Fund; and
 
  h.   Additional purchases of Class A shares by shareholders of record of Class K shares on October 21, 2005 whose Class K shares were converted to Class A shares.
    Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares of a Fund (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and members of their Immediate Family);

  a.   such plan is funded by a rollover of assets from an Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plan;
 
  b.   the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same trustee, custodian or administrator that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof; and
 
  c.   the dealer of record with respect to the account being funded by such rollover is the same as the dealer of record with respect to the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
    Transfers to IRAs that are attributable to Invesco Fund investments held in 403(b)(7)s, SIMPLEs, SEPs, SARSEPs, Traditional or Roth IRAs; and
 
    Rollovers from Invesco held 403(b)(7)s, 401(K)s, SEPs, SIMPLEs, SARSEPs, Money Purchase Plans, and Profit Sharing Plans if the assets are transferred to an Invesco IRA.

L-10


Table of Contents

     In addition, an investor may acquire shares of any of the Invesco Funds at net asset value in connection with:
      reinvesting dividends and distributions;
 
      exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund; as more fully described in the Prospectus;
 
      the purchase of shares in connection with the repayment of a retirement plan loan administered by Invesco Investment Services;
 
      as a result of a Fund’s merger, consolidation or acquisition of the assets of another Fund;
 
      the purchase of Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class B, Class C or Class Y shares where the redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day; or
 
      when buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
      Payments to Dealers . Invesco Distributors may elect to re-allow the entire initial sales charge to dealers for all sales with respect to which orders are placed with Invesco Distributors during a particular period. Dealers to whom substantially the entire sales charge is re-allowed may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined under the 1933 Act.
     The financial adviser through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees discussed above. In this context, “financial advisers” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), insurance company separate account, transfer agent, registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Distributors or one or more of its corporate affiliates (collectively, the Invesco Distributors Affiliates). In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make additional cash payments to financial advisers in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of Invesco Funds. Invesco Distributors Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of underwriting concessions and from payments to Invesco Distributors under Rule 12b-1 plans. In the case of sub-accounting payments, discussed below, Invesco Distributors Affiliates will be reimbursed directly by the Invesco Funds for such payments. These additional cash payments are described below. The categories described below are not mutually exclusive. The same financial adviser, or one or more of its affiliates, may receive payments under more than one or all categories. Most financial advisers that sell shares of Invesco Funds receive one or more types of these cash payments. Financial advisers negotiate the cash payments to be paid on an individual basis. Where services are provided, the costs of providing the services and the overall package of services provided may vary from one financial adviser to another. Invesco Distributors Affiliates do not make an independent assessment of the cost of providing such services.
     Certain financial advisers listed below received one or more types of the following payments during the prior calendar year. This list is not necessarily current and will change over time. Certain arrangements are still being negotiated, and there is a possibility that payments will be made retroactively to financial advisers not listed below. Accordingly, please contact your financial adviser to determine whether they currently may be receiving such payments and to obtain further information regarding any such payments.
      Financial Support Payments . Invesco Distributors Affiliates make financial support payments as incentives to certain financial advisers to promote and sell shares of Invesco Funds. The benefits Invesco Distributors Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing Invesco Funds on the financial adviser’s funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial adviser’s sales force or to

the financial adviser’s management. Financial support payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial adviser for including Invesco Funds in its Fund sales system (on its sales shelf). Invesco Distributors Affiliates compensate financial advisers differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial adviser. In addition, payments typically apply only to retail sales, and may not apply to other types of sales or assets (such as sales to retirement plans, qualified tuition programs, or fee based adviser programs – some of which may generate certain other payments described below).
     The financial support payments Invesco Distributors Affiliates make may be calculated on sales of shares of Invesco Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (for non-Institutional Class shares) or 0.10% (for Institutional Class shares) of the public offering price of all such shares sold by the financial adviser during the particular period. Such payments also may be calculated on the average daily net assets of the applicable Invesco Funds attributable to that particular financial adviser (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of Invesco Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of Invesco Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Distributors Affiliates may pay a financial adviser either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
      Sub-Accounting and Networking Support Payments . Invesco Investment Services, an Invesco Distributors Affiliate, acts as the transfer agent for the Invesco Funds, registering the transfer, issuance and redemption of Invesco Fund shares, and disbursing dividends and other distributions to Invesco Funds shareholders. However, many Invesco Fund shares are owned or held by financial advisers, as that term is defined above, for the benefit of their customers. In those cases, the Invesco Funds often do not maintain an account for the shareholder. Thus, some or all of the transfer agency functions for these accounts are performed by the financial adviser. In these situations, Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make payments to financial advisers that sell Invesco Fund shares for certain transfer agency services, including record keeping and sub-accounting shareholder accounts. Payments for these services typically do not exceed 0.25% (for non-Institutional Class shares) or 0.10% (for Institutional Class shares) of average annual assets of such share classes or $19 per annum per shareholder account (for non-Institutional Class shares only). Invesco Distributors Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial advisers that sell Invesco Fund shares in connection with client account maintenance support, statement preparation and transaction processing. The types of payments that Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make under this category include, among others, payment of networking fees of up to $12 per shareholder account maintained on certain mutual fund trading systems.
     All fees payable by Invesco Distributors Affiliates pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement are charged back to the Invesco Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board of the Trust.
      Other Cash Payments . From time to time, Invesco Distributors Affiliates, at their expense and out of their own resources, may provide additional compensation to financial advisers which sell or arrange for the sale of shares of a Fund. Such compensation provided by Invesco Distributors Affiliates may include payment of ticket charges per purchase or exchange order placed by a financial adviser, one-time payments for ancillary services such as setting up funds on a financial adviser’s mutual fund trading systems, financial assistance to financial advisers that enable Invesco Distributors Affiliates to participate in and/or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives and other employees, client entertainment, client and investor events, and other financial adviser-sponsored events, and travel expenses, including lodging incurred by registered representatives and other employees in connection with client prospecting, retention and due diligence trips. Other compensation may be offered to the extent not prohibited by state laws or any self-regulatory agency, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) (formerly, NASD, Inc.). Invesco Distributors Affiliates make payments for entertainment events it deems appropriate, subject to Invesco Distributors Affiliates guidelines and applicable law. These payments may vary depending upon the nature of the event or the relationship.

L-12


Table of Contents

     Invesco Distributors Affiliates are motivated to make the payments described above because they promote the sale of Invesco Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial advisers. To the extent financial advisers sell more shares of Invesco Funds or retain shares of Invesco Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Distributors Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Distributors Affiliates by the Invesco Funds with respect to those assets.
     In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial adviser. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in the prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Distributors Affiliates or the Invesco Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges. You should consult disclosures made by your financial adviser at the time of purchase.

Purchases of Class B Shares
Class B shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge. Instead, investors may pay a CDSC if they redeem their shares within six years after purchase. See the Prospectus for additional information regarding contingent deferred sales charges. Invesco Distributors may pay sales commissions to dealers and institutions who sell Class B shares of the Invesco Funds at the time of such sales. Payments will equal 4.00% of the purchase price and will consist of a sales commission equal to 3.75% plus an advance of the first year service fee of 0.25%.
Purchases of Class C Shares
     Class C shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge. Investors in Class C shares may pay a CDSC if they redeem their shares within the first year after purchase (no CDSC applies to Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund unless you exchange shares of another Invesco Fund that are subject to a CDSC into Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund). See the Prospectus for additional information regarding this CDSC. Invesco Distributors may pay sales commissions to dealers and institutions who sell Class C shares of the Invesco Funds (except for Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund) at the time of such sales. Payments with respect to Funds other than Invesco Floating Rate Fund will equal 1.00% of the purchase price and will consist of a sales commission of 0.75% plus an advance of the first year service fee of 0.25%. Payments with respect to Invesco Floating Rate Fund will equal 0.75% of the purchase price and will consist of a sales commission of 0.50% plus an advance of the first year service fee of 0.25%. These commissions are not paid on sales to investors exempt from the CDSC, including shareholders of record of AIM Advisor Funds, Inc. on April 30, 1995, who purchase additional shares in any of the Funds on or after May 1, 1995, and in circumstances where Invesco Distributors grants an exemption on particular transactions.
Payments with Regard to Converted Class K Shares
     For Class A shares acquired by a former Class K shareholder (i) as a result of a fund merger; or (ii) as a result of the conversion of Class K shares into Class A shares on October 21, 2005, Invesco Distributors will pay financial intermediaries 0.45% on such Class A shares as follows: (i) 0.25% from the Class A shares’ Rule 12b-1 plan fees; and (ii) 0.20% from Invesco Distributors’ own resources provided that, on an annualized basis for 2005 as of October 21, 2005, the 0.20% exceeds $2,000 per year.
Purchase and Redemption of Class P Shares
     Certain former investors in the Invesco Summit Plans I and II may acquire Class P shares at net asset value. Please see Invesco Summit Fund’s Prospectus for details.
Purchases of Class R Shares
     Class R shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge. For purchases of Class R shares of Category I, II or IV Funds, Invesco Distributors may make the following payments to dealers of record provided that the applicable dealer of record is able to establish that the purchase of Class R shares is a new investment or a rollover from a retirement plan in which an Invesco Fund was offered as an investment option:
Percent of Cumulative Purchases
0.75% of the first $5 million
plus 0.50% of amounts in excess of $5 million

L-15


Table of Contents

With regard to any individual purchase of Class R shares, Invesco Distributors may make payment to the dealer of record based on the cumulative total of purchases made by the same plan over the life of the plan’s account(s).
Purchases of Class S Shares
     Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S Shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option. Class S shares have a 12b-1 fee of 0.15%.
Purchases of Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC. Please refer to the Prospectus for more information.
Purchases of Investor Class Shares
     Investor Class shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC. Invesco Distributors may pay dealers and institutions an annual service fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets and such payments will commence immediately. The Investor Class is closed to new investors.
Purchases of Institutional Class Shares
     Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC. Please refer to the Institutional Class Prospectus for more information.
Exchanges
      Terms and Conditions of Exchanges . Normally, shares of an Invesco Fund to be acquired by exchange are purchased at their net asset value or applicable offering price, as the case may be, determined on the date that such request is received, but under unusual market conditions such purchases may be delayed for up to five business days if it is determined that a Fund would be materially disadvantaged by an immediate transfer of the proceeds of the exchange. If a shareholder is exchanging into a Fund paying daily dividends, and the release of the exchange proceeds is delayed for the foregoing five-day period, such shareholder will not begin to accrue dividends until the sixth business day after the exchange.
Redemptions
      General . Shares of the Invesco Funds may be redeemed directly through Invesco Distributors or through any dealer who has entered into an agreement with Invesco Distributors. In addition to the Funds’ obligation to redeem shares, Invesco Distributors may also repurchase shares as an accommodation to shareholders. To effect a repurchase, those dealers who have executed Selected Dealer Agreements with Invesco Distributors must phone orders to the order desk of the Funds at (800) 959-4246 and guarantee delivery of all required documents in good order. A repurchase is effected at the net asset value per share of the applicable Fund next determined after the repurchase order is received in

L-16


Table of Contents

good order. Such an arrangement is subject to timely receipt by Invesco Investment Services, the Funds’ transfer agent, of all required documents in good order. If such documents are not received within a reasonable time after the order is placed, the order is subject to cancellation. While there is no charge imposed by a Fund or by Invesco Distributors (other than any applicable contingent deferred sales charge and any applicable redemption fee) when shares are redeemed or repurchased, dealers may charge a fair service fee for handling the transaction.
      Suspension of Redemptions . The right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is restricted, as determined by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation of the net assets of a Fund not reasonably practicable.
      Systematic Redemption Plan . A Systematic Redemption Plan permits a shareholder of an Invesco Fund to withdraw on a regular basis at least $50 per withdrawal. At the time the withdrawal plan is established, the total account value must be $5,000 or more. Under a Systematic Redemption Plan, all shares are to be held by Invesco Investment Services. To provide funds for payments made under the Systematic Redemption Plan, Invesco Investment Services redeems sufficient full and fractional shares at their net asset value in effect at the time of each such redemption.
     Payments under a Systematic Redemption Plan constitute taxable events. Because such payments are funded by the redemption of shares, they may result in a return of capital and in capital gains or losses, rather than in ordinary income. Also because sales charges are imposed on additional purchases of Class A shares, it is disadvantageous to effect such purchases while a Systematic Redemption Plan is in effect.
     Each Invesco Fund bears its share of the cost of operating the Systematic Redemption Plan.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges Imposed upon Redemption of Shares
     A CDSC may be imposed upon the redemption of Large Purchases of Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds, upon the redemption of Class B shares or Class C shares (no CDSC applies to Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund unless you exchange shares of another Invesco Fund that are subject to a CDSC into Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund). See the Prospectus for additional information regarding CDSCs.
      Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Exceptions for Large Purchases of Class A Shares . An investor who has made a Large Purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II or IV Fund, will not be subject to a CDSC upon the redemption of those shares in the following situations:
    Redemptions of shares of Category I, II or IV Funds held more than 18 months;
 
    Redemptions of shares held by retirement plans, maintained pursuant to Sections 403 (only if the employer or plan sponsor is a tax-exempt organization operated pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code), 401 or 457 of the Code, in cases where (i) the plan has remained invested in Class A shares of a Fund for at least 12 months, or (ii) the redemption is not a complete redemption of shares held by the plan;
 
    Redemptions of shares by the investor where the investor’s dealer waives the amounts otherwise payable to it by the distributor and notifies the distributor prior to the time of investment;
 
    Minimum required distributions made in connection with an IRA, Keogh Plan or custodial account under Section 403(b) of the Code or other retirement plan following attainment of age 70 1 / 2 ;

Table of Contents

    Redemptions following the death or post-purchase disability of (i) any registered shareholders on an account or (ii) a settlor of a living trust, of shares held in the account at the time of death or initial determination of post-purchase disability, provided that shares have not been commingled with shares that are subject to CDSC; and
 
    Amounts from a monthly, quarterly or annual Systematic Redemption Plan of up to an annual amount of 12% of the account value on a per fund basis provided the investor reinvests his dividends. At the time the withdrawal plan is established, the total account value must be $5,000 or more.
      Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Exceptions for Class B and C Share s. CDSCs will not apply to the following redemptions of Class B or Class C shares, as applicable:
    Additional purchases of Class C shares of Invesco International Core Equity Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund by shareholders of record on April 30, 1995, of Invesco International Value Fund, predecessor to Invesco International Core Equity Fund, and Invesco Real Estate Fund, except that shareholders whose broker-dealers maintain a single omnibus account with Invesco Investment Services on behalf of those shareholders, perform sub-accounting functions with respect to those shareholders, and are unable to segregate shareholders of record prior to April 30, 1995, from shareholders whose accounts were opened after that date will be subject to a CDSC on all purchases made after March 1, 1996;
 
    Redemptions following the death or post-purchase disability of (1) any registered shareholders on an account or (2) a settlor of a living trust, of shares held in the account at the time of death or initial determination of post-purchase disability, provided that shares have not been commingled with shares that are subject to CDSC;
 
    Certain distributions from individual retirement accounts, Section 403(b) retirement plans, Section 457 deferred compensation plans and Section 401 qualified plans, where redemptions result from (i) required minimum distributions to plan participants or beneficiaries who are age 70 1 / 2 or older, and only with respect to that portion of such distributions that does not exceed 12% annually of the participant’s or beneficiary’s account value in a particular Fund; (ii) in kind transfers of assets where the participant or beneficiary notifies the distributor of the transfer no later than the time the transfer occurs; (iii) tax-free rollovers or transfers of assets to another plan of the type described above invested in Class B or Class C shares of one or more of the Funds; (iv) tax-free returns of excess contributions or returns of excess deferral amounts; and (v) distributions on the death or disability (as defined in the Code) of the participant or beneficiary;
 
    Amounts from a monthly or quarterly Systematic Redemption Plan of up to an annual amount of 12% of the account value on a per fund basis provided the investor reinvests his dividends. At the time the withdrawal plan is established, the total account value must be $5,000 or more;
 
    Liquidation initiated by the Fund when the account value falls below the minimum required account size of $500; and
 
    Investment account(s) of Invesco and its affiliates.
     CDSCs will not apply to the following redemptions of Class C shares:
    A total or partial redemption of shares where the investor’s dealer of record notifies the distributor prior to the time of investment that the dealer would waive the upfront payment otherwise payable to him;

    Redemption of shares held by retirement plans, maintained pursuant to Sections 403 (only if the employer or plan sponsor is a tax-exempt organization operated pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code), 401 or 457 of the Code, in cases where (i) the plan has remained invested in Class C shares of a Fund for at least 12 months, or (ii) the redemption is not a complete redemption of all Class C shares held by the plan; and
 
    Redemptions of Class C shares of a Fund other than Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund if you received such Class C shares by exchanging Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund.
General Information Regarding Purchases, Exchanges and Redemptions
      Good Order . Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received in good order in accordance with Invesco Investment Services policy and procedures and U.S. regulations. Invesco Investment Services reserves the right to refuse transactions. Transactions not in good order will not be processed and once brought into good order, will receive current price. To be in good order, an investor or financial intermediary must supply Invesco Investment Services with all required information and documentation, including signature guarantees when required. In addition, if a purchase of shares is made by check, the check must be received in good order. This means that the check must be properly completed and signed, and legible to Invesco Investment Services in its sole discretion. If a check used to purchase shares does not clear, or if any investment order must be canceled due to nonpayment, the investor will be responsible for any resulting loss.
      Authorized Agents . Invesco Investment Services and Invesco Distributors may authorize agents to accept purchase and redemption orders that are in good order on behalf of the Invesco Funds. In certain cases, these authorized agents are authorized to designate other intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on a Fund’s behalf. The Fund will be deemed to have received the purchase or redemption order when the Fund’s authorized agent or its designee accepts the order. The order will be priced at the net asset value next determined after the order is accepted by the Fund’s authorized agent or its designee.
      Signature Guarantees . In addition to those circumstances listed in the “Shareholder Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus, signature guarantees are required in the following situations: (1) requests to transfer the registration of shares to another owner; (2) telephone exchange and telephone redemption authorization forms; (3) changes in previously designated wiring or electronic funds transfer instructions; (4) written redemptions or exchanges of shares held in certificate form previously reported to Invesco as lost, whether or not the redemption amount is under $250,000 or the proceeds are to be sent to the address of record; and (5) requests to redeem accounts where the proceeds are over $250,000 or the proceeds are to be sent to an address or a bank other than the address or bank of record. Invesco Funds may waive or modify any signature guarantee requirements at any time.
     Acceptable guarantors include banks, broker-dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, savings associations and any other organization, provided that such institution or organization qualifies as an “eligible guarantor institution” as that term is defined in rules adopted by the SEC, and further provided that such guarantor institution is listed in one of the reference guides contained in Invesco Investment Services’ current Signature Guarantee Standards and Procedures, such as certain domestic banks, credit unions, securities dealers, or securities exchanges. Notary public signatures are not an acceptable replacement for a signature guarantee. Invesco Investment Services will also accept signatures with either: (1) a signature guaranteed with a medallion stamp of the STAMP Program, or (2) a signature guaranteed with a medallion stamp of the NYSE Medallion Signature Program, provided that in either event, the amount of the total transaction involved does not exceed the surety coverage amount indicated on the medallion. For information regarding whether a particular institution or organization qualifies as an “eligible guarantor institution” and to determine how to fulfill a signature guarantee requirement, an investor should contact the Client Services Department of Invesco Investment Services.

Table of Contents

      Transactions by Telephone . By signing an account application form, an investor agrees that Invesco Investment Services may surrender for redemption any and all shares held by Invesco Investment Services in the designated account(s), or in any other account with any of the Invesco Funds, present or future, which has the identical registration as the designated account(s). Invesco Investment Services and Invesco Distributors are thereby authorized and directed to accept and act upon any telephone redemptions of shares held in any of the account(s) listed, from any person who requests the redemption proceeds to be applied to purchase shares in any one or more of the Invesco Funds, provided that such Fund is available for sale and provided that the registration and mailing address of the shares to be purchased are identical to the registration of the shares being redeemed. An investor acknowledges by signing the form that he understands and agrees that Invesco Investment Services and Invesco Distributors may not be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any telephone exchange requests effected in accordance with the authorization set forth in these instructions if they reasonably believe such request to be genuine, but may in certain cases be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. Procedures for verification of telephone transactions may include recordings of telephone transactions (maintained for six months), requests for confirmation of the shareholder’s Social Security Number and current address, and mailings of confirmations promptly after the transactions. Invesco Investment Services reserves the right to modify or terminate the telephone exchange privilege at any time without notice. An investor may elect not to have this privilege by marking the appropriate box on the application. Then any exchanges must be effected in writing by the investor.
      Internet Transactions . An investor may effect transactions in his account through the internet by establishing a Personal Identification Number (PIN). By establishing a PIN the investor acknowledges and agrees that neither Invesco Investment Services nor Invesco Distributors will be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any internet transaction effected by them in accordance with any instructions submitted by a user who transmits the PIN as authentication of his or her identity. Procedures for verification of internet transactions include requests for confirmation of the shareholder’s personal identification number and mailing of confirmations promptly after the transactions. The investor also acknowledges that the ability to effect internet transactions may be terminated at any time by the Invesco Funds. Policies for processing transactions via the Internet may differ from policies for transactions via telephone due to system settings.
      Abandoned Property . It is the responsibility of the investor to ensure that Invesco Investment Services maintains a correct address for his account(s). An incorrect address may cause an investor’s account statements and other mailings to be returned to Invesco Investment Services. Upon receiving returned mail, Invesco Investment Services will attempt to locate the investor or rightful owner of the account. If Invesco Investment Services is unable to locate the investor, then it will determine whether the investor’s account has legally been abandoned. Invesco Investment Services is legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. The investor’s last known address of record determines which state has jurisdiction.
      Retirement Plans Sponsored by Invesco Distributors . Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor for certain types of retirement plan documents. These plan documents are generally available to anyone wishing to invest plan assets in the Funds. These documents are provided subject to terms, conditions and fees that vary by plan type. Contact your financial adviser or other intermediary for details.
      Miscellaneous Fees . In certain circumstances, the intermediary maintaining the shareholder account through which your Fund shares are held may assess various fees related to the maintenance of that account, such as:
    an annual custodial fee on accounts where Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor;
 
    expedited mailing fees in response to overnight redemption requests; and

L-20


Table of Contents

    copying and mailing charges in response to requests for duplicate statements.
     Please consult with your intermediary for further details concerning any applicable fees.
Institutional Class Shares
     Before the initial purchase of shares, an investor must submit a completed account application to his financial intermediary, who should forward the application to Invesco Investment Services, Inc. at P.O. Box 4739, Houston, Texas 77210-4739. An investor may change information in his account application by submitting written changes or a new account application to his intermediary or to Invesco Investment Services.
     Purchase and redemption orders must be received in good order. To be in good order, the financial intermediary must give Invesco Investment Services all required information and documentation with respect to the investor. If the intermediary fails to deliver the investor’s payment on the required settlement date, the intermediary must reimburse the Fund for any overdraft charges incurred.
     A financial intermediary may submit a written request to Invesco Investment Services for correction of transactions involving Fund shares. If Invesco Investment Services agrees to correct a transaction, and the correction requires a dividend adjustment, the intermediary must agree in writing to reimburse the Fund for any resulting loss.
     An investor may terminate his relationship with an intermediary and become the shareholder of record on his account. However, until the investor establishes a relationship with an intermediary, the investor will not be able to purchase additional shares of the Fund, except through the reinvestment of distributions.
     Generally payment for redeemed shares is made by Federal Reserve wire to the account designated in the investor’s account application. By providing written notice to his financial intermediary or to Invesco Investment Services, an investor may change the account designated to receive redemption proceeds. Invesco Investment Services may request additional documentation.
     Invesco Investment Services may request that an intermediary maintain separate master accounts in the Fund for shares held by the intermediary (a) for its own account, for the account of other institutions and for accounts for which the intermediary acts as a fiduciary; and (b) for accounts for which the intermediary acts in some other capacity.
Offering Price
     The following formula may be used to determine the public offering price per Class A share of an investor’s investment:
     Net Asset Value / (1 – Sales Charge as % of Offering Price) = Offering Price. For example, at the close of business on February 28, 2010, AIM High Yield Fund – Class A shares had a net asset value per share of $4.03. The offering price, assuming an initial sales charge of 4.75%, therefore was $4.23.
     Institutional Class shares of the Invesco Funds are offered at net asset value. The offering price per share of the Fund is $1.00. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
Calculation of Net Asset Value
For Invesco Money Market Fund

L-21


Table of Contents

     The Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates values as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of discounts.
For Invesco Core Bond Fund, Invesco Dynamics Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Income Fund, Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund, Invesco Short Term Bond Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Fund
     Each Invesco Fund determines its net asset value per share once daily as of the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE on each business day of the Invesco Fund. In the event the NYSE closes early on a particular day, each Invesco Fund determines its net asset value per share as of the close of the NYSE on such day. Futures contracts may be valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. The Invesco Funds determine net asset value per share by dividing the value of an Invesco Fund’s securities, cash and other assets (including interest accrued but not collected) attributable to a particular class, less all its liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends payable) attributable to that class, by the total number of shares outstanding of that class. Determination of an Invesco Fund’s net asset value per share is made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Generally, the portfolio securities for non-money market funds are recorded in the NAV no later than trade date plus one, except on fiscal quarter ends, such securities are recorded on trade date. For money market funds, portfolio securities are recorded in the NAV on trade date. The net asset value for shareholder transactions may be different than the net asset value reported in the Invesco Fund’s financial statement due to adjustments required by generally accepted accounting principles made to the net asset value of the Invesco Fund at period end.
     A security listed or traded on an exchange (excluding convertible bonds) held by an Invesco Fund is valued at its last sales price or official closing price on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each equity security traded in the over-the-counter market is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services vendors or market makers. Debt securities (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing vendor. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing vendor may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and Corporate Loans and in the case of debt obligations (excluding Corporate Loans), the mean between the last bid and ask prices. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share.
     Short-term investments (including commercial paper) are valued at amortized cost when the security has 60 days or less to maturity.
     Generally, trading in corporate bonds, U.S. Government securities and money market instruments is substantially completed each day prior to the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of an Invesco Fund’s shares are determined at such times. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such securities may occur

L-22


Table of Contents

between the times at which such values are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE. If Invesco believes a development/event has actually caused a closing price to no longer reflect current market value, the closing price may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected security as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
     Foreign securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Invesco Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco will use the indication of fair value from the pricing vendor to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Multiple factors may be considered by the pricing vendor in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, ADRs, domestic and foreign index futures, and exchange-traded funds.
     Invesco Fund securities primarily traded in foreign markets may be traded in such markets on days that are not business days of the Invesco Fund. Because the net asset value per share of each Invesco Fund is determined only on business days of the Invesco Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of an Invesco Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when an investor cannot exchange or redeem shares of the Invesco Fund.
     Securities for which market quotations are not available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
Redemptions in Kind
     Although the Invesco Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Invesco Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). For instance, an Invesco Fund may make a redemption in kind if a cash redemption would disrupt its operations or performance. Securities that will be delivered as payment in redemptions in kind will be valued using the same methodologies that the Invesco Fund typically utilizes in valuing such securities. Shareholders receiving such securities are likely to incur transaction and brokerage costs on their subsequent sales of such securities, and the securities may increase or decrease in value until the shareholder sells them. The Trust, on behalf of the Invesco Funds made an election under Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act (a “Rule 18f-1 Election”) and therefore, the Trust, on behalf of an Invesco Fund, is obligated to redeem for cash all shares presented to such Invesco Fund for redemption by any one shareholder in an amount up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of that Invesco Fund’s net assets in any 90-day period. The Rule 18f-1 Election is irrevocable while Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act is in effect unless the SEC by order permits withdrawal of such Rule 18f-1 Election.

Backup Withholding
     Accounts submitted without a correct, certified taxpayer identification number (TIN) or, alternatively, a correctly completed and currently effective Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8 (for non-resident aliens) or Form W-9 (for U.S. persons including resident aliens) accompanying the registration information will generally be subject to backup withholding.
     Each Invesco Fund, and other payers, generally must withhold, 28% of reportable dividends (whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional Invesco Fund shares), including exempt-interest dividends, in the case of any shareholder who fails to provide the Invesco Fund with a TIN and a certification that he is not subject to backup withholding.
     An investor is subject to backup withholding if:
  1.   the investor fails to furnish a correct TIN to the Invesco Fund;
 
  2.   the IRS notifies the Invesco Fund that the investor furnished an incorrect TIN;
 
  3.   the investor or the Invesco Fund is notified by the IRS that the investor is subject to backup withholding because the investor failed to report all of the interest and dividends on such investor’s tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only);
 
  4.   the investor fails to certify to the Invesco Fund that the investor is not subject to backup withholding under (3) above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only); or
 
  5.   the investor does not certify his TIN. This applies only to non-exempt mutual fund accounts opened after 1983.
     Interest and dividend payments are subject to backup withholding in all five situations discussed above. Redemption proceeds are subject to backup withholding only if (1), (2) or (5) above applies.
     Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding and information reporting. Invesco or Invesco Investment Services will not provide Form 1099 to those payees.
     Investors should contact the IRS if they have any questions concerning withholding.
      IRS Penalties – Investors who do not supply the Invesco Funds with a correct TIN will be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS unless such failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. If an investor falsifies information on this form or makes any other false statement resulting in no backup withholding on an account which should be subject to backup withholding, such investor may be subject to a $500 penalty imposed by the IRS and to certain criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
      Nonresident Aliens – Nonresident alien individuals and foreign entities with a valid Form W-8 are not subject to the backup withholding previously discussed. The Form W-8 generally remains in effect for a period starting on the date the Form is signed and ending on the last day of the third succeeding calendar year. Such shareholders may, however, be subject to federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate on ordinary income dividends and other distributions. Under applicable treaty law, residents of treaty countries may qualify for a reduced rate of withholding or a withholding exemption. Nonresident alien individuals and some foreign entities failing to provide a valid Form W-8 may be subject to backup withholding and Form 1099 reporting.

Item 29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control With the Fund

Item 30. Indemnification
Indemnification provisions for officers, trustees, and employees of the Registrant are set forth in Article VIII of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Article VIII of its Amended and Restated Bylaws, and are hereby incorporated by reference. See Item 28(a) and (b) above. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust effective as of September 14, 2005, as amended (i) Trustees or officers, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Registrant or any Trustee or officer except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office with the Trust; (ii) every Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust act, the Registrant’s Bylaws and other applicable law; (iii) in case any shareholder or former shareholder of the Registrant shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his being or having been a shareholder of the Registrant or any portfolio or class and not because of his acts or omissions or for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives, or, in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or general successor) shall be entitled, out of the assets belonging to the applicable portfolio (or allocable to the applicable class), to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable law. The Registrant, on behalf of the affected portfolio (or class), shall upon request by the shareholder, assume the defense of any such claim made against the shareholder for any act or obligation of that portfolio (or class).

Section 16 of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco Advisers) provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of Invesco Advisersor any of its officers, directors or employees, that Invesco Advisers shall not be subject to liability to the Registrant or to any series of the Registrant, or to any shareholder of any series of the Registrant for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security. Any liability of Invesco Advisers to any series of the Registrant shall not automatically impart liability on the part of Invesco Advisersto any other series of the Registrant. No series of the Registrant shall be liable for the obligations of any other series of the Registrant.
Section 9 of the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the Sub-Advisory Contract) between Invesco Advisers on behalf of Registrant, and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Ltd., Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (each a Sub-Adviser, collectively the Sub-Advisers) provides that the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any costs or liabilities arising from any error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss suffered by any series of the Registrant or the Registrant in connection with the matters to which the Sub-Advisory Contract relates except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Adviser in the performance by the Sub-Adviser of its duties or from reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under the Sub-Advisory Contract.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to trustees, 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 trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered hereby, 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.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
PURSUANT TO RULE 12b-1
(Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares)
(Reimbursement)
     WHEREAS, each registered investment company, (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), severally on behalf of each of its series of beneficial interest as set forth on Schedule A, as it may be supplemented from time to time, (each a “Portfolio”), engages or intends to engage in business as an open-end management investment company and is registered as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”); and
     WHEREAS, each Fund desires to adopt a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, and the Trustees have determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that adoption of the Plan of Distribution will benefit such Fund and its shareholders; and
     WHEREAS, each Fund and Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), have entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund employs the Distributor in such capacity during the continuous offering of shares of the Fund; and
     NOW, THEREFORE, each Fund hereby adopts, and the Distributor hereby agrees to the terms of, this Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act on the following terms and conditions with respect to the applicable Class A, Class B and Class C shares of each Portfolio, as applicable and set forth on Schedule A:
     1. The Distributor hereby undertakes to bear directly all costs of rendering the services to be performed by it under this Plan and under the Distribution Agreement, except for those specific expenses that the Trustees determine to reimburse as hereinafter set forth.
     2. (a) Each Fund is hereby authorized to reimburse the Distributor for distribution-related expenses incurred by the Distributor or its affiliates or paid by the Distributor to other broker-dealers, financial institutions and financial intermediaries for distribution-related expenses pursuant to master related agreements between each Fund and the Distributor (or in the case of Class B shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement) specifically on behalf of Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund, including personal services to shareholders with respect to their holdings of Portfolio shares paid pursuant to a Shareholder Services Plan (collectively, the “Distribution Fee”). For each Fund, the amount of each monthly payment may in no event exceed an amount equal to a payment set forth below or such lesser amount as the Trustees shall determine from time to time for any Fund:
      Class A — the Distribution Fee shall not exceed on an annual basis the lesser of (i) 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A and (ii) the sum of Actual Distribution Expenses.
      Class B — the Distribution Fee shall not exceed on an annual basis the lesser of (i) 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and (ii) the sum of Actual Distribution Expenses plus Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses.
      Class C — the Distribution Fee shall not exceed on an annual basis the lesser of (i) 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and (ii) the sum of Actual Distribution Expenses plus Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses.

 


 

     The Trustees shall determine the particular expenses, and the portion thereof that may be borne by each Fund, and in making such determination shall consider the scope of the Distributor’s commitment to promoting the distribution of each Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares directly or through its affiliates or other broker-dealers.
     (b) If, as of the end of any calendar year, the Actual Distribution Expenses, as defined in paragraph 5 hereof, incurred by the Distributor, its affiliates or paid by the Distributor to Financial Intermediaries on behalf of Class A or Class C shares, respectively, of each Fund (including accrued expenses and amounts reserved for incentive compensation and bonuses) are less than the amount of payments made by such Class pursuant to this Plan, the Distributor shall promptly make appropriate reimbursement to the appropriate Class. If, however, as of the end of any calendar year, the Actual Distribution Expenses (other than expenses representing a gross sale credit) of the Distributor, its affiliates and or paid by the Distributor to Financial Intermediaries, incurred on behalf of Class A or Class C Shares, of the Fund are greater than the amount of payments made by Class A or Class C shares of each Fund pursuant to this Plan, such Class will not reimburse the Distributor for such expenses through payments accrued pursuant to this Plan in the subsequent fiscal year. Expenses representing a gross sales credit may be reimbursed in the subsequent calendar year.
     3. Each Fund is hereby authorized to reimburse the Distributor for, or paid by the Distributor to Financial Intermediaries for, their (i) Actual Distribution Expenses incurred on behalf of Class B Shares of the Fund, and (ii) prior Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses, as defined in paragraph 5 hereof. The amount of each monthly payment may, in no event, exceed an amount equal to payment at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B.
     4. The Distributor may direct that all or any part of the amounts receivable by it under this Plan be paid directly to its affiliates or Financial Intermediaries who provide distribution and shareholder services. All payments made hereunder pursuant to the Plan shall be in accordance with the terms and limitations of the Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
     5.  “Actual Distribution Expenses” are amounts spent by the Distributor or its affiliates or Financial Intermediaries on any activities or expenses related to the distribution of each Fund’s shares or services to shareholders, including, but not limited: to compensation to, and expenses of, financial advisers or other employees of the Distributor, its affiliates or Financial Intermediaries, overhead and other branch office distribution-related expenses and telephone expenses of persons who engage in or support distribution of shares or who provide personal services to shareholders; printing of prospectuses and reports for other than existing shareholders; preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature and advertising materials and, with respect to Class B, opportunity costs in incurring the foregoing expenses (which may be calculated as a carrying charge on the amount of Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses, as of the date of calculation.) The overhead and other branch office distribution-related expenses referred to in this paragraph 5 may include: (a) the expenses of operating the branch offices of the Distributor or Financial Intermediaries in connection with the sale of Fund shares, including lease costs, the salaries and employee benefits of operations and sales support personnel, utility costs, communications costs and the costs of stationery and supplies; (b) the costs of client sales seminars; (c) travel expenses of mutual fund sales coordinators to promote the sale

of Fund shares; and (d) other expenses relating to branch promotion of Fund sales.
      “Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses” are an amount equal to the excess of Actual Distribution Expenses over the total of (i) payments received pursuant to the Plan, plus (ii) the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges received. Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses may also include the unreimbursed distribution expenses of an investment company whose assets are acquired by the Fund in a tax free reorganization (“Acquired Company Expenses”).
     6. It is contemplated that, with respect to Class A shares, the entire fee set forth in paragraph 2(a) will be characterized as a service fee within the meaning of the FINRA guidelines and that, with respect to Class B and Class C shares, payments at the annual rate of 0.25% will be so characterized.
     7. For each Fund this Plan shall not take effect with respect to any particular Class until it has been approved, together with the Master Related Agreements, by votes of a majority of the Board of Trustees of each Fund and of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of such Fund (as defined in the Act) and have no direct financial interest in the operation of this Plan or any agreements related to it (the “Rule 12b-1 Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting (or meetings) called for the purpose of voting on this Plan and such related agreements.
     8. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to paragraph 10 , this Plan shall continue in effect with the respect to each Class until June 30, 2010, and from year to year thereafter, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in the manner provided for approval of this Plan in paragraph 7 hereof.
     9. The Distributor shall provide to the Trustees of the Fund and the Trustees shall review, at least quarterly, for each Fund a written report of the amounts so expended and the purposes for which such expenditures were made. In this regard, the Trustees shall request the Distributor to specify such items of expenses as the Trustees deem appropriate. The Trustees shall consider such items as they deem relevant in making the determinations required by paragraph 8 hereof.
     10. For each Fund this Plan may be terminated at any time with respect to a Portfolio or a Class by vote of a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The Plan may remain in effect with the respect to a particular Portfolio or Class even if the Plan has been terminated in accordance with this paragraph 10 with respect to any other Portfolio or Class. In the event of any such termination or in the event of nonrenewal, the Fund shall have no obligation to pay Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses which have been incurred by the Distributor, its affiliates or Financial Intermediaries. However, with respect to Class B, this shall not preclude consideration by the Trustees of the manner in which such Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses shall be treated.
     11. For each Fund this Plan may not be amended with respect to any Class to increase materially the amount each Class may spend for distribution provided in paragraphs 2 and 3 hereof unless such amendment is approved by a vote of at least a majority (as defined in the Act) of the outstanding voting securities of that Class, and no material amendment to the Plan shall be made unless approved in the manner provided for approval in paragraph 7 hereof. Class B shares will have the right to vote on any material increase in the fee set forth in paragraph 2(a) above affecting Class A shares.

- 3 -


 

     12. While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of Trustees who are not interested persons (as defined in the Act) of the Funds shall be committed to the discretion of the Trustees who are not interested persons.
     13. Notice is hereby given that, as provided by applicable law, the obligations of or arising out of the Plan are not binding upon any of the shareholders of the Fund or any Portfolio individually, but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Fund or such Portfolio and that the shareholders shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the same limitation on personal liability as stockholders of private corporations for profit.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Funds and the Distributor have executed this Plan of Distribution as of the day and year set forth below.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Class R Shares
(Reimbursement)
     WHEREAS, each registered investment company, (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), severally on behalf of each of its series of beneficial interest as set forth on Schedule A, as it may be supplemented from time to time, (each a “Portfolio”), engages or intends to engage in business as an open-end management investment company and is registered as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”); and
WHEREAS, each Fund desires to adopt a Plan of Distribution (“Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Class R shares of each Portfolio for which the Fund’s board of trustees (“Board”) has established such shares; and
     WHEREAS, each Fund and Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) have entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which the Distributor has agreed to serve as distributor of the shares of each Portfolio;
     NOW, THEREFORE, each Fund hereby adopts this Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Class R shares of each Portfolio as set forth on Schedule A.
     1. Each Fund is hereby authorized to reimburse the Distributor for distribution-related expenses incurred by for Actual Distribution-Related Expenses (as defined below) and incurred by them for Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses (as defined below) (the “Distribution Fee”) on behalf of the Class R shares of the Portfolio.
     2. A. The Distribution Fee authorized with respect to Class R shares of each Portfolio is as follows:
Class R — The Distribution Fee shall not exceed on an annual basis the lesser of (i) 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class R or (ii) the sum of Actual Distribution Expenses plus Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses.
         B. The Distribution Fee shall be calculated and accrued daily and paid monthly or at such intervals as the Board shall determine.
     3.  “Actual Distribution Expenses” are amounts spent by the Distributor or paid by the Distributor to other broker-dealers, financial institutions and/or intermediaries, including its affiliates, distribution-related expenses pursuant to master related agreements between each Fund and the Distributor, including, but not limited to: compensation to, and expenses of, financial advisors or other employees of the Distributor or other broker-dealers; overhead and other branch office distribution-related expenses and telephone expenses of persons who engage in or support distribution of shares or who provide personal services to shareholders: printing of prospectuses and reports for other than existing shareholders; preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature and advertising materials and opportunity costs in incurring the foregoing expenses (which may be calculated as a carrying charge on the amount of Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses, as of the date of calculation.) The overhead and other branch office distribution-related expenses referred to in this paragraph 3 may include: (a) the expenses of operating the branch offices of the Distributor or other broker-dealers, including its affiliates, in connection with the sale of Portfolio shares; (b) the costs of client sales seminars; (c) travel expenses of mutual fund sales coordinators to promote the sale of Portfolio shares; and (d) other expenses relating to branch promotion of

 


 

Portfolio sales.
      “Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses” are an amount equal to the excess of Actual Distribution Expenses over the total of (i) payments received pursuant to the Plan, plus (ii) the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges received. Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses may also include the unreimbursed distribution expenses of an investment company whose assets are acquired by the Portfolio in tax-free reorganization
     4. For each Portfolio this Plan shall not take effect until it has been approved, together with any related agreements, by votes of a majority of the Board of each Portfolio and the Board members who are not “interested persons” of such Portfolio (as defined in the 1940 Act) and have no direct financial interest in the operation of this Plan or any agreements related to it (the “Rule 12b-1 Board members”), cast in person at a meeting (or meetings) called for the purpose of voting on this Plan and such related agreements.
     5. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 7, this Plan shall continue in effect until June 30, 2010, and from year to year thereafter, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in the manner provided for approval of this Plan in paragraph 4 hereof.
     6. The Distributor shall provide to the Board of the Portfolio and the Board shall review, at least quarterly, for each Portfolio a written report of the amounts so expended and the purposes for which such expenditures were made. In this regard, the Board shall request the Distributor to specify such items of expenses as the Board deems appropriate. The Board shall consider such items as it deems relevant in making the determinations required by paragraph 5 hereof.
     7. For each Portfolio, this Plan may be terminated at any time by vote of a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Board members, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities. In the event of any such termination or in the event of nonrenewal, the Portfolio shall have no obligation to pay Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses which have been incurred by the Distributor or other broker-dealers, including its affiliates. However, this shall not preclude consideration by the Board of the manner in which such Unreimbursed Distribution Expenses shall be treated.
     8. For each Portfolio, this Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount the Class may spend for services described hereunder unless such amendment is approved by a vote of at least a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the outstanding voting securities of that Class, and no material amendment to the Plan shall be made unless approved in the manner provided for approval in paragraph 4 hereof.
     9. While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of Board members who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Portfolios shall be committed to the discretion of the Board members who are not interested persons.
     10. Notice is hereby given that, as provided by applicable law, the obligations of or arising out of the Plan are not binding upon any of the shareholders of the Fund or any Portfolio individually, but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Fund or such Portfolio and that the shareholders shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the same limitation on personal liability as stockholders of private corporations for profit.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES PLAN
Class R Shares
(Reimbursement)
     WHEREAS, each registered investment company, as set forth on Schedule A, as it may be supplemented from time to time (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), is engaged in business as an open-end management investment company and is registered as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”); and
     WHEREAS, the Fund has separate series, each of which is a separate pool of assets with its own investment policies (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”) and each Portfolio may be divided into multiple separate classes including Class R; and
     WHEREAS, the Fund desires to adopt a Shareholder Services Plan under Rule 12b-1 (“Plan”) with respect to the Class R shares of each Portfolio of the Fund listed on Schedule A, as may be amended from time to time, and the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”), including those Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Plan or any agreements related thereto (“Independent Board Members”), have determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that adoption of the Plan will benefit each Portfolio of the Fund and its shareholders; and
     WHEREAS, the Fund and Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) have entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund employs the Distributor in such capacity during the continuous offering of the Class R shares of each Portfolio of the Fund.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Fund hereby adopts, and the Distributor hereby agrees to the terms of, this Plan on the following terms and conditions with respect to Class R shares of each Portfolio of the Fund:
     1. The Fund may pay to the Distributor and other affiliated broker-dealers, unaffiliated broker-dealers, financial institutions and/or intermediaries, as compensation for the provision of services to shareholders, a service fee up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares of each Portfolio. Such fee shall be calculated and accrued daily and paid monthly or at such other intervals as the Fund and the Distributor shall mutually agree.
     2. The service fee may be paid for the provision of “personal service and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts” as provided for in Section 2830(b)(9) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Conduct Rules, including (i) expenditures for overhead and other expenses of the Distributor and other affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers, (ii) telephone and other communications expenses relating to the provision of shareholder services and (iii) compensation to and expenses of financial advisors and other employees of the Distributor and other affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers for the provision of shareholder services (collectively, the “Services”). If FINRA amends the definition of “service fee” or adopts a related definition intended to define the same concept, the services provided under the Plan shall be automatically amended, without further action of the parties, to conform to such definition.
     3. This Plan must be approved, together with any related agreements, by votes of a

 


 

majority of both (a) the Board and (b) the Independent Board Members, cast in person at a meeting (or meetings) called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
     4. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 6, this Plan shall continue in full force and effect until June 30, 2010, and for so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in the manner provided for approval of this Plan in paragraph 3 .
     5. The Distributor shall provide to the Board and the Board shall review, at least quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended with respect to the Services. The Distributor shall submit to the Board only information regarding amounts expended for the Services in support of the service fee payable hereunder.
     6. This Plan may be terminated at any time by the vote of a majority of the Independent Board Members or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Class R shares of the Portfolio.
     7. This Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount payable hereunder by a Portfolio for Class R shares, unless such amendment is approved by a vote of at least a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the outstanding voting securities of the Class R shares of the Portfolio. No material amendment to this Plan shall be made unless approved in the manner provided in paragraph 3 hereof.
     8. While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of those Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Act) of the Fund shall be committed to the discretion of the Board members then in office who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Act) of the Fund.
     9. The Distributor may direct that all or any part of the amounts receivable by it under this Plan be paid directly to its affiliates or other broker-dealers, financial institutions and/or intermediaries that provide shareholder services. All payments made hereunder pursuant to the Plan shall be in accordance with the terms and limitations of the Conduct Rules of FINRA.
     10. This Plan only relates to the Class R shares of each Portfolio and the fees determined in accordance with paragraph 1 hereof shall be based upon the average daily net assets of the Portfolio attributable to Class R shares. No Portfolio of the Fund shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Portfolio of the Fund.

(Class A Shares, Class A5, Class B Shares, Class B5, Class C Shares, Class C5, Class R
Shares and Class R5)
(Reimbursement)
     The plan set forth below (the “Distribution Plan”) is the written plan contemplated by Rule 12b-1 (the “Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), for each registered investment company, as described in Schedule A to this Distribution Plan (each individually referred to as the “Trust”, or collectively, the “Trusts”), severally, on behalf of each of its series of common stock or of beneficial interest, as the case may be, set forth in Schedule A to this Distribution Plan (each, a “Fund”). This Distribution Plan describes the material terms and conditions under which assets of the Fund may be used in connection with financing distribution related activities with respect to each of its classes of shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”), each of which is offered and sold subject to a different combination of front-end sales charges, distribution fees, service fees and contingent deferred sales charges. 1 Classes of shares, if any, subject to a front-end sales charge and a distribution and/or service fee are referred to herein as “Front-End Classes” and the Shares of such classes are referred to herein as “Front-End Shares.” Classes of shares, if any, subject to a contingent-deferred sales charge and a distribution and/or a service fee are referred to herein as “CDSC Classes” and Shares of such classes are referred to herein as “CDSC Shares.” Classes of shares, if any, subject to a front-end sales charge, a contingent-deferred sales charge and a distribution and/or service fee are referred to herein as “Combination Classes” and Shares of such class are referred to herein as “Combination Shares.” Certain large purchases of Class A Shares and Class A5 Shares are Combination Shares.
     Each Fund has adopted a service plan (the “Service Plan”) pursuant to which the Fund is authorized to expend on an annual basis a portion of its average net assets attributable to any or each class of Shares in connection with the provision by the principal underwriter (within the meaning of the 1940 Act) of the Shares and by brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries (collectively, “Financial Intermediaries”) designated by Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) of personal services to holders of Shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has entered into (i) distribution agreements (“Distribution Agreements”) with the Distributor, pursuant to which the Distributor acts as the principal underwriter with respect to each class of Shares, and (ii) master related agreements (“Master Related Agreements”) with the Distributor, pursuant to which the Distributor provides services to the Fund and acts as agent on behalf of the Fund in connection with the implementation of the Service Plan. The Distribution Agreement for Class B Shares and Class B5 Shares is a combined distribution agreement and related agreement. The Distributor may implement the Distribution Agreements, the Service Plan, the Master Related Agreements and this Distribution Plan directly or through third parties.
1. Each Fund hereby is authorized to pay the Distributor a distribution fee with respect to each class of its Shares described below to compensate the Distributor for activities which are primarily intended to result in the sale of such Shares (“distribution related activities”) performed
 
1   The Fund is authorized to offer multiple classes of shares pursuant to a Rule 18f-3 Plan adopted under the 1940 Act.

2. With respect to Class A Shares and Class A5 Shares, the distribution fee authorized hereby and the service fee authorized pursuant to the Service Plan, in the aggregate, shall not exceed on an annual basis 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to (i) Class A/A5 Shares sold on or after the date on which this Distribution Plan is first implemented with respect to Class A/A5 Shares; (ii) Class A shares sold by Van Kampen Funds Inc. pursuant to distribution plans that terminated upon assignment as a result of the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail investment management business of Morgan Stanley; and (iii) Class A/A5 Shares that are issued upon exchange for shares of beneficial interest of another fund distributed by the Distributor. The Fund may pay a distribution fee as determined from time to time by its Board of Trustees in an annual amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) (A) 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net asset value during such year attributable to Class A/A5 Shares minus (B) the amount of the service fee with respect to the Class A/A5 Shares actually expended during such year by the Fund pursuant to the Service Plan and (ii) the actual amount of distribution related expenses incurred by the Distributor with respect to Class A/A5 Shares.
3. With respect to Class B Shares and Class B5 Shares, the distribution fee authorized hereby and the service fee authorized pursuant to the Service Plan, in the aggregate, shall not exceed on an annual basis 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to (i) Class B/B5 Shares sold on or after the date on which this Distribution Plan is first implemented with respect to the Class B/B5 Shares; (ii) Class B shares sold by Van Kampen Funds Inc. pursuant to distribution plans that terminated upon assignment as a result of the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail investment management business of Morgan Stanley; and (iii) Class B/B5 Shares that are issued upon exchange for shares of beneficial interest of another fund distributed by the Distributor. The Fund may pay a distribution fee as determined from time to time by its Board of Trustees in an annual amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net asset value during such year attributable to Class B/B5 Shares and (B) the actual amount of distribution related expenses incurred by the Distributor during such year plus prior unreimbursed distribution related expenses less the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge paid to the Distributor, in each case with respect to the Class B/B5 Shares.
4. With respect to Class C Shares and Class C5 Shares the distribution fee authorized hereby and the service fee authorized pursuant to the Service Plan, in the aggregate, shall not exceed on an annual basis 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to (i) Class

2


 

C/C5 Shares sold on or after the date on which this Distribution Plan is first implemented with respect to the Class C/C5 Shares; (ii) Class C shares sold by Van Kampen Funds Inc. pursuant to distribution plans that terminated upon assignment as a result of the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail investment management business of Morgan Stanley; and (iii) Class C/C5 Shares that are issued upon exchange for shares of beneficial interest of another fund distributed by the Distributor. The Fund may pay a distribution fee as determined from time to time by its Board of Trustees in an annual amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net asset value during such year attributable to Class C/C5 Shares and (B) the actual amount of distribution related expenses incurred by the Distributor during such year plus prior unreimbursed distribution related expenses less the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge paid to the Distributor with respect to the Class C/C5 Shares.
5. With respect to Class R Shares and Class R5 Shares the distribution fee authorized hereby and the service fee authorized pursuant to the Service Plan, in the aggregate shall not exceed on an annual basis 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to (i) Class R/R5 Shares sold on or after the date on which this Distribution Plan is first implemented with respect to Class R/R5 Shares; (ii) Class R shares sold by Van Kampen Funds Inc. pursuant to distribution plans that terminated upon assignment as a result of the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail investment management business of Morgan Stanley; and (iii) Class R/R5 Shares that are issued upon exchange for shares of beneficial interest of another fund distributed by the Distributor. The Fund may pay a distribution fee as determined from time to time by its Board of Trustees in an annual amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) (A) 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net asset value during such year attributable to Class R/R5 Shares minus (B) the amount of the service fee with respect to the Class R/R5 Shares actually expended during such year by the Fund pursuant to the Service Plan and (ii) the actual amount of distribution related expenses incurred by the Distributor with respect to Class R/R5 Shares.
6. Payments pursuant to this Distribution Plan shall not be made more often than monthly upon receipt by the Fund of a separate written expense report with respect to each class of Shares setting forth the expenses qualifying for such reimbursement allocated to each class of Shares and the purposes thereof.
7. In the event that amounts payable hereunder with respect to shares of a Front-End Class do not fully reimburse the Distributor for its actual distribution related expenses with respect to the Shares of such class, there is no carry-forward of reimbursement obligations to succeeding years. In the event the amounts payable hereunder with respect to shares of a CDSC Class or a Combination Class do not fully reimburse the Distributor for its actual distribution related expenses with respect to the Shares of the respective class, such unreimbursed distribution expenses will be carried forward and paid by the Fund hereunder in future years so long as this Distribution Plan remains in effect, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Reimbursements for distribution related expenses payable hereunder with respect to a particular class of Shares may not be used to subsidize the sale of Shares of any other class of Shares.
8. The Fund shall not compensate the Distributor, and the Distributor shall compensate any Financial Intermediary, for any distribution related expenses incurred with respect to a class of Shares prior to the date that such Financial Intermediary entered into a Selling Agreement with the Distributor or with Van Kampen Funds Inc. or a Van Kampen fund.

9. Pursuant to the Master Related Agreements (or the Distribution Agreement in the case of Class B/B5 Shares), the Distributor may enter into Selling Agreements with certain Financial Intermediaries to provide compensation to such Financial Intermediaries for activities and services of the type referred to in Paragraph 1 hereof. The Distributor may reallocate all or a portion of its distribution fee to such Financial Intermediaries as compensation for the above-mentioned activities and services. Such reallocation shall be in an amount as set forth from time to time in the Fund’s prospectus.
10. No provision of this Plan shall be interpreted to prohibit any payments by a Trust with respect to the Shares of a Fund during periods when the Fund has suspended or otherwise limited sales of such Shares.
11. The Fund and the Distributor shall prepare separate written reports for each class of Shares and shall submit such reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis summarizing all payments made by them with respect to each class of Shares pursuant to this Distribution Plan, the Service Plan and the Master Related Agreements, the purposes for which such payments were made and such other information as the Board of Trustees or the Disinterested Trustees may reasonably request from time to time, and the Board of Trustees shall review such reports and other information.
12. This Distribution Plan shall become effective upon its approval by (a) a majority of the Board of Trustees and a majority of the Disinterested Trustees by vote cast separately with respect to each class of Shares cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Distribution Plan, and (b) with respect to each class of Shares, a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as such phrase is defined in the 1940 Act) of such class of Shares voting separately as a class.
13. This Distribution Plan and any agreement contemplated hereby shall continue in effect beyond June 30, 2010 so long as (a) its continuation is approved at least annually in the manner set forth in clause (a) of paragraph 12 above and (b) the selection and nomination of those trustees of the Fund who are not “interested persons” of the Fund are committed to the discretion of such trustees.
14. This Distribution Plan may be terminated with respect to a class of Shares without penalty at any time by a majority of the Disinterested Trustees or by a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the respective class of Shares of the Fund.
15. This Distribution Plan may not be amended to increase materially the maximum amounts permitted to be expended hereunder except with the approval of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the respective class of Shares of the Fund and may not be amended in any other material respect except with the approval of a majority of the Disinterested Trustees. Amendments required to conform this Distribution Plan to changes in the Rule or to other changes in the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder shall not be deemed to be material amendments.
16. To the extent any service fees paid by the Fund pursuant to the Service Plan are deemed to be payments for the financing of any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Shares issued by the Fund within the meaning of the Rule, the terms and provisions of such plan and any payments made pursuant to such plan hereby are authorized pursuant to this Distribution Plan in the amounts and for the purposes authorized in the Service Plan without any

further action by the Board of Trustees or the shareholders of the Fund. To the extent the terms and provisions of the Service Plan conflict with the terms and provisions of this Distribution Plan, the terms and provisions of the Service Plan shall prevail with respect to amounts payable pursuant thereto. This paragraph 16 is adopted solely due to the uncertainty that may exist with respect to whether payments to be made by the Fund pursuant to the Service Plan constitute payments primarily intended to result in the sale of Shares issued by the Fund within the meaning of the Rule.
17. The Trustees of the Trust have adopted this Distribution Plan as trustees under the Declaration of Trust of the Trust and the policies of the Trust adopted hereby are not binding upon any of the Trustees or shareholders of the Trust individually, but bind only the trust estate.

SERVICE PLAN
(Class A Shares, Class A5 Shares, Class B Shares, Class B5 Shares, Class C Shares, Class
C5 Shares, Class R Shares and Class R5 Shares)
(Reimbursement)
     The plan set forth below (the “Service Plan”) for each registered investment company, as described in Schedule A to this Service Plan (each individually referred to as the “Trust”, or collectively, the “Trusts”), severally, on behalf of each of its series of common stock or of beneficial interest, as the case may be, set forth in Schedule A to this Service Plan (each, a “Fund”), describes the material terms and conditions under which assets of a Fund may be used to compensate the Fund’s principal underwriter, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries (collectively “Financial Intermediaries”) for providing personal services to shareholders and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts with respect to each of the Class A Shares and Class A5 Shares of beneficial interest (collectively, the “Class A Shares”), the Class B Shares and Class B5 Shares of beneficial interest (collectively, the “Class B Shares”), the Class C Shares and Class C5 Shares of beneficial interest (collectively, the “Class C Shares”) and the Class R Shares and Class R5 Shares of beneficial interest (collectively, the “Class R Shares”). The Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class R Shares sometimes are referred to herein collectively as the “Shares.” Each class of Shares is offered and sold subject to a different combination of front-end sales charges, distribution fees, service fees and contingent deferred sales charges.1 Classes of Shares, if any, subject to a front-end sales charge and a distribution and/or service fee are referred to herein as “Front-End Classes” and the Shares of such classes are referred to herein as “Front-End Shares.” Classes of Shares, if any, subject to a contingent-deferred sales charge and a distribution and/or a service fee are referred to herein as “CDSC Classes” and Shares of such classes are referred to herein as “CDSC Shares.” Classes of Shares, if any, subject to a front-end sales charge, a contingent-deferred sales charge and a distribution and/or service fee are referred to herein as “Combination Classes” and Shares of such class are referred to herein as “Combination Shares.” Certain large purchases of Class A Shares are Combination Shares.
     Each Fund has adopted this Service Plan pursuant to which the Fund is authorized to expend on an annual basis a portion of its average net assets attributable to each class of Shares for providing personal services to shareholders and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Each Fund also has entered into distribution agreements (the “Distribution Agreements”) with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), pursuant to which the Distributor acts as the principal underwriter with respect to each class of Shares and master related agreements (“Master Related Agreements”) with the Distributor in connection with the implementation of this Service Plan. The Distribution Agreement for Class B Shares is a combined distribution agreement and related agreement. Pursuant to the Master Related Agreements (and the Distribution Agreement in the case of Class B Shares), the Distributor may implement this Service Plan directly or through third parties.
     1. The Fund hereby is authorized to pay a service fee with respect to its Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class R Shares to the Distributor who may use such payments to pay a service fee to any Financial Intermediary who provides personal

services to shareholders and/or maintains shareholder accounts in an annual amount not to exceed 0.25%, or such other amount listed on Schedule A to this Service Plan, of the average annual net asset value of the Shares maintained in the Fund by such person with respect to Shares that (i) were sold on or after the date on which this Service Plan was first implemented; (ii) were sold by Van Kampen Funds Inc. pursuant to service plans that terminated upon assignment as a result of the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail investment management business of Morgan Stanley; and (iii) were issued upon exchange for shares of beneficial interest of another fund distributed by the Distributor. The aggregate annual amount of all such payments with respect to each such class of Shares may not exceed 0.25%, or such other amount listed on Schedule A to this Service Plan, of the Fund’s average annual net assets attributable to the respective class of Shares and maintained in the Fund more than one year.
     2. Payments pursuant to this Service Plan may be paid or prepaid on behalf of the Fund by the Distributor acting as the Fund’s agent.
     3. Payments by a Fund to the Distributor pursuant to this Service Plan shall not be made more often than monthly upon receipt by the Fund of a separate written expense report with respect to each class of Shares setting forth the expenses qualifying for such reimbursement allocated to each class of Shares and the purposes thereof.
     4. In the event that amounts payable hereunder with respect to a class of Shares do not fully reimburse the Distributor for pre-paid service fees, such unreimbursed service fee expenses will be carried forward and paid by the Fund hereunder in future years so long as this Service Plan remains in effect, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Reimbursements for service fee related expenses payable hereunder with respect to a particular class of Shares may not be used to subsidize services provided with respect to any other class of Shares.
     5. A Fund shall not compensate the Distributor, and the Distributor shall compensate any Financial Intermediary, for any service related expenses incurred with respect to a class of Shares prior to the date that such Financial Intermediary enters into a Service Agreement with the Distributor, Van Kampen Funds Inc. or a Van Kampen fund.
     6. Pursuant to the Master Related Agreements (or the Distribution Agreement in the case of Class B Shares), Distributor may enter into Service Agreements with certain Financial Intermediaries to provide compensation to such Financial Intermediaries for activities and services of the type referred to in Paragraph 1 hereof.
     7. The Fund and the Distributor shall prepare separate written reports for each class of Shares and shall submit such reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis summarizing all payments made by them with respect to each class of Shares pursuant to this Service Plan and the agreements contemplated hereby, the purposes for which such payments were made and such other information as the Board of Trustees or the Disinterested Trustees may reasonably request from time to time, and the Board of Trustees shall review such reports and other information.
     8. This Service Plan may be terminated with respect to a class of Shares without penalty at any time by a majority of the Disinterested Trustees or by a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the respective class of Shares of the Fund.

     9. This Service Plan shall become effective upon its approval by (a) a majority of the Board of Trustees and a majority of the Disinterested Trustees by vote cast separately with respect to each class of Shares cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Service Plan, and (b) with respect to each class of Shares, a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as such phrase is defined in the 1940 Act) of such class of Shares voting separately as a class.
     10. This Service Plan and any agreement contemplated hereby shall continue in effect beyond June 30, 2010 only so long as (a) its continuation is approved at least annually in the manner set forth in clause (a) of paragraph 10 above and (b) the selection and nomination of those Trustees of the Fund who are not “interested persons” of the Fund are committed to the discretion of such Trustees.
     11. This Service Plan may not be amended to increase materially the maximum amounts permitted to be expended hereunder except with the approval of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the respective class of Shares of the Fund. This Service Plan may not be amended in any material respect except with the approval of a majority of the Disinterested Trustees. Amendments required to conform this Service Plan to changes in the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder or the Conduct Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority shall not be deemed to be material amendments.
     The Trustees of the Trust have adopted this Service Plan as trustees under the Declaration of Trust of the Trust and the policies of the Trust adopted hereby are not binding upon any of the Trustees or shareholders of the Trust individually, but bind only the trust estate.
