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.
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.
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 Funds net
investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If
you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment
income generally are 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 2012) for dividends
derived from a Funds 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
Decemberif paid to you by the end of Januaryare
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 Funds 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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal
securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally
are exempt from that states personal income tax. Most
states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest
from municipal securities of other states.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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
Funds shares, to decline.
n
A Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
n
Because a 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.
n
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.
n
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Funds investments
in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at
long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend
income.
n
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. Please
see the SAI for a discussion of the risks and special tax
consequences to shareholders in the event the Fund realizes
excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts.
n
The Funds foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a
discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to them
from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which
the Fund invests.
n
The Funds strategies of investing in derivatives and
financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to the fixed income, equity and commodity markets may
cause the Funds to recognize more ordinary income and short-term
capital gains taxable as ordinary income than would be the case
if the Funds invested directly in debt instruments, stocks and
commodities.
n
The Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for
favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company,
including asset diversification and income requirements. The
Funds intend to treat the income each derives from
commodity-linked notes and their respective Subsidiary as
qualifying income. If, contrary to a number of private letter
rulings (PLRs) issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine such
income is non qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the
income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010. The
Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective
Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Funds
total assets in order to satisfy the asset diversification
requirement.
n
Additionally, the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund have received a
PLR from the IRS holding that the Funds income from a form
of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund has also received a PLR from the
IRS holding that its income derived from its Subsidiarys
investments in commodity-linked derivatives is qualifying income.
n
The Fund may realize gains from the sale or other disposition of
foreign currencies (including but not limited to gains from
options, futures or forward contracts) derived from investing in
securities or foreign currencies. The U.S. Treasury Department
is authorized to issue regulations on whether the realization of
such foreign currency gains is qualified income for the Fund. If
such regulations are issued, the Fund may not qualify as a
regulated investment company and/or the Fund may change its
investment policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no
regulations have been issued pursuant to this authorization. It
is possible, however, that such regulations may be issued in the
future. Additionally, the IRS has not issued any guidance on how
to apply the asset diversification test to such foreign currency
positions. Thus, the IRS determination as to how to treat
such foreign currency positions for purposes of satisfying the
asset diversification test might differ from that of the Fund,
resulting in the Funds failure to qualify as a regulated
investment company. In lieu of disqualification, the Fund is
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010.

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.
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.
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 Funds net
investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If
you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment
income generally are 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 2012) for dividends
derived from a Funds 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
Decemberif paid to you by the end of Januaryare
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 Funds 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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal
securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally
are exempt from that states personal income tax. Most
states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest
from municipal securities of other states.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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
Funds shares, to decline.
n
A Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
n
Because a 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.
n
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.
n
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Funds investments
in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at
long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend
income.
n
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. Please
see the SAI for a discussion of the risks and special tax
consequences to shareholders in the event the Fund realizes
excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts.
n
The Funds foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a
discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to them
from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which
the Fund invests.
n
The Funds strategies of investing in derivatives and
financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to the fixed income, equity and commodity markets may
cause the Funds to recognize more ordinary income and short-term
capital gains taxable as ordinary income than would be the case
if the Funds invested directly in debt instruments, stocks and
commodities.
n
The Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for
favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company,
including asset diversification and income requirements. The
Funds intend to treat the income each derives from
commodity-linked notes and their respective Subsidiary as
qualifying income. If, contrary to a number of private letter
rulings (PLRs) issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine such
income is non qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the
income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010. The
Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective
Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Funds
total assets in order to satisfy the asset diversification
requirement.
n
Additionally, the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund have received a
PLR from the IRS holding that the Funds income from a form
of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund has also received a PLR from the
IRS holding that its income derived from its Subsidiarys
investments in commodity-linked derivatives is qualifying income.
n
The Fund may realize gains from the sale or other disposition of
foreign currencies (including but not limited to gains from
options, futures or forward contracts) derived from investing in
securities or foreign currencies. The U.S. Treasury Department
is authorized to issue regulations on whether the realization of
such foreign currency gains is qualified income for the Fund. If
such regulations are issued, the Fund may not qualify as a
regulated investment company and/or the Fund may change its
investment policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no
regulations have been issued pursuant to this authorization. It
is possible, however, that such regulations may be issued in the
future. Additionally, the IRS has not issued any guidance on how
to apply the asset diversification test to such foreign currency
positions. Thus, the IRS determination as to how to treat
such foreign currency positions for purposes of satisfying the
asset diversification test might differ from that of the Fund,
resulting in the Funds failure to qualify as a regulated
investment company. In lieu of disqualification, the Fund is
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010.

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.
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.
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 Funds net
investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If
you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment
income generally are 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 2012) for dividends
derived from a Funds 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
Decemberif paid to you by the end of Januaryare
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 Funds 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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal
securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally
are exempt from that states personal income tax. Most
states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest
from municipal securities of other states.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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
Funds shares, to decline.
n
A Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
n
Because a 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.
n
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.
n
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Funds investments
in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at
long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend
income.
n
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. Please
see the SAI for a discussion of the risks and special tax
consequences to shareholders in the event the Fund realizes
excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts.
n
The Funds foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a
discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to them
from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which
the Fund invests.
n
The Funds strategies of investing in derivatives and
financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to the fixed income, equity and commodity markets may
cause the Funds to recognize more ordinary income and short-term
capital gains taxable as ordinary income than would be the case
if the Funds invested directly in debt instruments, stocks and
commodities.
n
The Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for
favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company,
including asset diversification and income requirements. The
Funds intend to treat the income each derives from
commodity-linked notes and their respective Subsidiary as
qualifying income. If, contrary to a number of private letter
rulings (PLRs) issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine such
income is non qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the
income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010. The
Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective
Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Funds
total assets in order to satisfy the asset diversification
requirement.
n
Additionally, the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund have received a
PLR from the IRS holding that the Funds income from a form
of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund has also received a PLR from the
IRS holding that its income derived from its Subsidiarys
investments in commodity-linked derivatives is qualifying income.
n
The Fund may realize gains from the sale or other disposition of
foreign currencies (including but not limited to gains from
options, futures or forward contracts) derived from investing in
securities or foreign currencies. The U.S. Treasury Department
is authorized to issue regulations on whether the realization of
such foreign currency gains is qualified income for the Fund. If
such regulations are issued, the Fund may not qualify as a
regulated investment company and/or the Fund may change its
investment policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no
regulations have been issued pursuant to this authorization. It
is possible, however, that such regulations may be issued in the
future. Additionally, the IRS has not issued any guidance on how
to apply the asset diversification test to such foreign currency
positions. Thus, the IRS determination as to how to treat
such foreign currency positions for purposes of satisfying the
asset diversification test might differ from that of the Fund,
resulting in the Funds failure to qualify as a regulated
investment company. In lieu of disqualification, the Fund is

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.
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.
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 Funds net
investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If
you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment
income generally are 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 2012) for dividends
derived from a Funds 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
Decemberif paid to you by the end of Januaryare
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 Funds 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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal
securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally
are exempt from that states personal income tax. Most
states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest
from municipal securities of other states.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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
Funds shares, to decline.
n
A Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
n
Because a 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.
n
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.
n
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Funds investments
in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at
long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend
income.
n
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. Please
see the SAI for a discussion of the risks and special tax
consequences to shareholders in the event the Fund realizes
excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts.
n
The Funds foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a
discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to them
from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which
the Fund invests.
n
The Funds strategies of investing in derivatives and
financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to the fixed income, equity and commodity markets may
cause the Funds to recognize more ordinary income and short-term
capital gains taxable as ordinary income than would be the case
if the Funds invested directly in debt instruments, stocks and
commodities.
n
The Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for
favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company,
including asset diversification and income requirements. The
Funds intend to treat the income each derives from
commodity-linked notes and their respective Subsidiary as
qualifying income. If, contrary to a number of private letter
rulings (PLRs) issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine such
income is non qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the
income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010. The
Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective
Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Funds
total assets in order to satisfy the asset diversification
requirement.
n
Additionally, the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund have received a
PLR from the IRS holding that the Funds income from a form
of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund has also received a PLR from the
IRS holding that its income derived from its Subsidiarys
investments in commodity-linked derivatives is qualifying income.
n
The Fund may realize gains from the sale or other disposition of
foreign currencies (including but not limited to gains from
options, futures or forward contracts) derived from investing in
securities or foreign currencies. The U.S. Treasury Department
is authorized to issue regulations on whether the realization of
such foreign currency gains is qualified income for the Fund. If
such regulations are issued, the Fund may not qualify as a
regulated investment company and/or the Fund may change its
investment policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no
regulations have been issued pursuant to this authorization. It
is possible, however, that such regulations may be issued in the
future. Additionally, the IRS has not issued any guidance on how
to apply the asset diversification test to such foreign currency
positions. Thus, the IRS determination as to how to treat
such foreign currency positions for purposes of satisfying the
asset diversification test might differ from that of the Fund,
resulting in the Funds failure to qualify as a regulated
investment company. In lieu of disqualification, the Fund is
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset

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.
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.
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 Funds net
investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If
you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment
income generally are 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 2012) for dividends
derived from a Funds 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
Decemberif paid to you by the end of Januaryare
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 Funds 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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal
securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally
are exempt from that states personal income tax. Most
states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest
from municipal securities of other states.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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
Funds shares, to decline.
n
A Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
n
Because a 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.
n
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.
n
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Funds investments
in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at
long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend
income.
n
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. Please
see the SAI for a discussion of the risks and special tax
consequences to shareholders in the event the Fund realizes
excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts.
n
The Funds foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a
discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to them
from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which
the Fund invests.
n
The Funds strategies of investing in derivatives and
financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to the fixed income, equity and commodity markets may
cause the Funds to recognize more ordinary income and short-term
capital gains taxable as ordinary income than would be the case
if the Funds invested directly in debt instruments, stocks and
commodities.
n
The Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for
favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company,
including asset diversification and income requirements. The
Funds intend to treat the income each derives from
commodity-linked notes and their respective Subsidiary as
qualifying income. If, contrary to a number of private letter
rulings (PLRs) issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine such
income is non qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the
income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010. The
Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective
Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Funds
total assets in order to satisfy the asset diversification
requirement.
n
Additionally, the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund have received a
PLR from the IRS holding that the Funds income from a form
of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund has also received a PLR from the
IRS holding that its income derived from its Subsidiarys
investments in commodity-linked derivatives is qualifying income.
n
The Fund may realize gains from the sale or other disposition of
foreign currencies (including but not limited to gains from
options, futures or forward contracts) derived from investing in
securities or foreign currencies. The U.S. Treasury Department
is authorized to issue regulations on whether the realization of
such foreign currency gains is qualified income for the Fund. If
such regulations are issued, the Fund may not qualify as a
regulated investment company and/or the Fund may change its
investment policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no
regulations have been issued pursuant to this authorization. It
is possible, however, that such regulations may be issued in the
future. Additionally, the IRS has not issued any guidance on how
to apply the asset diversification test to such foreign currency
positions. Thus, the IRS determination as to how to treat
such foreign currency positions for purposes of satisfying the
asset diversification test might differ from that of the Fund,
resulting in the Funds failure to qualify as a regulated
investment company. In lieu of disqualification, the Fund is
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010.

(a)
Calculated using average shares
outstanding.
(b)
Includes adjustments in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial
reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset
values may differ from the net asset value and returns for
shareholder transactions. Does not include sales charges and is
not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable.
(c)
Portfolio turnover is calculated at
the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one
year. For the period ending December 31, 2007, the
portfolio turnover calculation excludes the value of securities
purchased of $116,070,354 and sold of $105,558,150 in the effort
to realign the Funds portfolio holdings after the
reorganization of AIM Opportunities II Fund and AIM
Opportunities III Fund into the Fund.
(d)
Ratios are annualized and based on
average daily net assets (000s omitted) of $170,157,
$15,595, $12,364 and $1,739 for Class A, Class B,
Class C and Class Y shares, respectively.
(e)
Includes litigation proceeds
received during the period. Had the litigation proceeds not been
received net gains (losses) on securities (both realized and
unrealized) per share for the year ended December 31, 2010
would have been $1.57, $1.35, $1.35 and $1.58 for Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively
and total return would have been lower. Net gains (losses) on
securities (both realized and unrealized) per share for the year
ended December 31, 2009 would have been $2.95, $2.53, $2.53
and $2.97 for Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class Y shares, respectively and total returns would have
been lower.
(f)
Commencement date of
October 3, 2008.
(g)
Annualized.

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
Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales
charge applied; and
n
There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends.

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.
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.
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 Funds net
investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If
you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment
income generally are 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 2012) for dividends
derived from a Funds 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
Decemberif paid to you by the end of Januaryare
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 Funds 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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal
securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally
are exempt from that states personal income tax. Most
states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest
from municipal securities of other states.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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
Funds shares, to decline.
n
A Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
n
Because a 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.
n
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.
n
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Funds investments
in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at
long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend
income.
n
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. Please
see the SAI for a discussion of the risks and special tax
consequences to shareholders in the event the Fund realizes
excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts.
n
The Funds foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a
discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to them
from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which
the Fund invests.
n
The Funds strategies of investing in derivatives and
financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to the fixed income, equity and commodity markets may
cause the Funds to recognize more ordinary income and short-term
capital gains taxable as ordinary income than would be the case
if the Funds invested directly in debt instruments, stocks and
commodities.
n
The Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for
favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company,
including asset diversification and income requirements. The
Funds intend to treat the income each derives from
commodity-linked notes and their respective Subsidiary as
qualifying income. If, contrary to a number of private letter
rulings (PLRs) issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine such
income is non qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the
income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010. The
Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective
Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Funds
total assets in order to satisfy the asset diversification
requirement.
n
Additionally, the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund have received a
PLR from the IRS holding that the Funds income from a form
of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund has also received a PLR from the
IRS holding that its income derived from its Subsidiarys
investments in commodity-linked derivatives is qualifying income.
n
The Fund may realize gains from the sale or other disposition of
foreign currencies (including but not limited to gains from
options, futures or forward contracts) derived from investing in
securities or foreign currencies. The U.S. Treasury Department
is authorized to issue regulations on whether the realization of
such foreign currency gains is qualified income for the Fund. If
such regulations are issued, the Fund may not qualify as a
regulated investment company and/or the Fund may change its
investment policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no
regulations have been issued pursuant to this authorization. It
is possible, however, that such regulations may be issued in the
future. Additionally, the IRS has not issued any guidance on how
to apply the asset diversification test to such foreign currency
positions. Thus, the IRS determination as to how to treat
such foreign currency positions for purposes of satisfying the
asset diversification test might differ from that of the Fund,
resulting in the Funds failure to qualify as a regulated
investment company. In lieu of disqualification, the Fund is
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010.

Fundamental analysis involves building a series of financial
models, as well as conducting in-depth interviews with
management. The goal is to find high quality, fundamentally
sound issuers operating in an attractive industry;
n
Valuation analysis focuses on identifying attractively valued
securities given their growth potential over a one- to two-year
horizon; and
n
Timeliness analysis is used to help identify the
timeliness of a purchase. In this step, relative
price strength, trading volume characteristics, and trend
analysis are reviewed for signs of deterioration. If a security
shows signs of deterioration, it will not be considered as a
candidate for the portfolio.

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.
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.
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 Funds net
investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If
you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment
income generally are 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 2012) for dividends
derived from a Funds 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
Decemberif paid to you by the end of Januaryare
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 Funds 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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal
securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally
are exempt from that states personal income tax. Most
states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest
from municipal securities of other states.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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
Funds shares, to decline.
n
A Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
n
Because a 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.
n
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.
n
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Funds investments
in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at
long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend
income.
n
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. Please
see the SAI for a discussion of the risks and special tax
consequences to shareholders in the event the Fund realizes
excess inclusion income in excess of certain threshold amounts.
n
The Funds foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a
discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to them
from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which
the Fund invests.
n
The Funds strategies of investing in derivatives and
financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to the fixed income, equity and commodity markets may
cause the Funds to recognize more ordinary income and short-term
capital gains taxable as ordinary income than would be the case
if the Funds invested directly in debt instruments, stocks and
commodities.
n
The Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for
favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company,
including asset diversification and income requirements. The
Funds intend to treat the income each derives from
commodity-linked notes and their respective Subsidiary as
qualifying income. If, contrary to a number of private letter
rulings (PLRs) issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine such
income is non qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the
income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010. The
Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective
Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Funds
total assets in order to satisfy the asset diversification
requirement.
n
Additionally, the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund have received a
PLR from the IRS holding that the Funds income from a form
of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund has also received a PLR from the
IRS holding that its income derived from its Subsidiarys
investments in commodity-linked derivatives is qualifying income.
n
The Fund may realize gains from the sale or other disposition of
foreign currencies (including but not limited to gains from
options, futures or forward contracts) derived from investing in
securities or foreign currencies. The U.S. Treasury Department
is authorized to issue regulations on whether the realization of
such foreign currency gains is qualified income for the Fund. If
such regulations are issued, the Fund may not qualify as a
regulated investment company and/or the Fund may change its
investment policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no
regulations have been issued pursuant to this authorization. It
is possible, however, that such regulations may be issued in the
future. Additionally, the IRS has not issued any guidance on how
to apply the asset diversification test to such foreign currency
positions. Thus, the IRS determination as to how to treat
such foreign currency positions for purposes of satisfying the
asset diversification test might differ from that of the Fund,
resulting in the Funds failure to qualify as a regulated
investment company. In lieu of disqualification, the Fund is
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010.

n
Fundamental analysis involves building a series of financial
models, as well as conducting in-depth interviews with
management. The goal is to find high quality, fundamentally
sound issuers operating in an attractive industry;
n
Valuation analysis focuses on identifying attractively valued
securities given their growth potential over a one- to two-year
horizon; and
n
Timeliness analysis is used to help identify the
timeliness of a purchase. In this step, relative
price strength, trading volume characteristics, and trend
analysis are reviewed for signs of deterioration. If a security
shows signs of deterioration, it will not be considered as a
candidate for the portfolio.

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.
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 Funds net
investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If
you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment
income generally are 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 2012) for dividends
derived from a Funds 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
Decemberif paid to you by the end of Januaryare
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 Funds 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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal
securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally
are exempt from that states personal income tax. Most
states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest
from municipal securities of other states.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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
Funds shares, to decline.
n
A Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
n
Because a 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.
n
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.
n
Dividends paid to shareholders from the Funds investments
in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at
long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified dividend
income.
n
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. Please see the
SAI for a discussion of the risks and special tax consequences
to shareholders in the event the Fund realizes excess inclusion
income in excess of certain threshold amounts.
n
The Funds foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a
discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to them
from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which
the Fund invests.
n
The Funds strategies of investing in derivatives and
financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to the fixed income, equity and commodity markets may
cause the Funds to recognize more ordinary income and short-term
capital gains taxable as ordinary income than would be the case
if the Funds invested directly in debt instruments, stocks and
commodities.
n
The Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for
favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company,
including asset diversification and income requirements. The
Funds intend to treat the income each derives from
commodity-linked notes and their respective Subsidiary as
qualifying income. If, contrary to a number of private letter
rulings (PLRs) issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine such
income is non qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the
income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010. The
Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective
Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Funds
total assets in order to satisfy the asset diversification
requirement.
n
Additionally, the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund have received a
PLR from the IRS holding that the Funds income from a form
of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund has also received a PLR from the
IRS holding that its income derived from its Subsidiarys
investments in commodity-linked derivatives is qualifying income.
n
The Fund may realize gains from the sale or other disposition of
foreign currencies (including but not limited to gains from
options, futures or forward contracts) derived from investing in
securities or foreign currencies. The U.S. Treasury Department
is authorized to issue regulations on whether the realization of
such foreign currency gains is qualified income for the Fund. If
such regulations are issued, the Fund may not qualify as a
regulated investment company and/or the Fund may change its
investment policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no
regulations have been issued pursuant to this authorization. It
is possible, however,
that such regulations may be issued in the future.
Additionally, the IRS has not issued any guidance on how to
apply the asset diversification test to such foreign currency
positions. Thus, the IRS determination as to how to treat
such foreign currency positions for purposes of satisfying the
asset diversification test might differ from that of the Fund,
resulting in the Funds failure to qualify as a regulated
investment company. In lieu of disqualification, the Fund is
permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset
diversification or income requirements, which, in general, are
limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010.

Elections of directors.
In uncontested director elections for companies that do not have
a controlling shareholder, Invesco 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. Invescos 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 Invescos investment thesis on a company.
Director performance.
Invesco 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
may withhold votes from some or all of a companys directors. In situations where
directors performance is a concern, Invesco may also support shareholder proposals to take
corrective actions such as so-called clawback provisions.
Auditors and Audit Committee members.
Invesco believes a companys Audit Committee has a
high degree of responsibility to shareholders in matters of financial disclosure, integrity
of the financial statements and effectiveness of a companys internal controls.
Independence, experience and financial expertise are critical elements of a
well-functioning Audit Committee. When electing directors who are members of a companys
Audit Committee, or when ratifying a companys auditors, Invesco considers the past
performance of the Committee and holds its members accountable for the quality of the
companys 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 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.
Classified boards.
Invesco supports proposals to elect directors annually instead of
electing them to staggered multi-year terms because annual elections increase a boards
level of accountability to its shareholders.
Supermajority voting requirements.
Unless proscribed by law in the state of
incorporation, Invesco votes against actions that would impose any supermajority voting
requirement, and supports actions to dismantle existing supermajority requirements.
Responsiveness.
Invesco 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 companys board. Invesco 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
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.
Executive compensation.
Invesco evaluates compensation plans for executives within the
context of the companys performance under the executives tenure. Invesco 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 companys compensation
practices. Therefore, Invesco 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 committees accountability to shareholders, Invesco supports
proposals requesting that companies subject each years 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 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 plans estimated cost relative to its
peer group, Invesco 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 stocks current market price, or the ability to automatically replenish
shares without shareholder approval.
Employee stock-purchase plans.
Invesco 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 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.

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.
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
companys prospects for future profitability and hence returns to shareholders, IP will take
many variables into account, including but not limited to, the following:
Nomination and audit committees
Remuneration committee and directors remuneration
Board balance and structure
Financial reporting principles
Internal control system and annual review of its effectiveness
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).
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 companys 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 Boards 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 IPs 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.
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
1.
Proxy Voting Policy
1.1
Introduction
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 policy sets out Invesco Australias approach to proxy voting in the context of
portfolio management, client service responsibilities and corporate governance
principles.
This policy applies to;
all Australian based and managed funds and mandates, in accordance with
IFSA Standard No.13.00 October 2004, clause 9.1 and footnote #3.
This policy does not apply;
where investment management of an international fund has been delegated to
an overseas Invesco company, proxy voting will rest with that delegated
manager.
In order to facilitate its proxy voting process and to avoid conflicts of interest
where these may arise, Invesco may retain a professional proxy voting service to
assist with in-depth proxy research, vote recommendations, vote execution, and the
necessary record keeping.
1.2
Guiding Principles
1.2.1
The objective of Invescos 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.
1.2.2
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.
1.2.3
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.
1.2.4
Invesco considers that proxy voting rights are an important power, which if
exercised diligently can enhance client returns, and should be managed with the same
care as any other asset managed on behalf of its clients.
1.2.5
Invesco may choose not to vote on a particular issue if this results in shares
being blocked from trading for a period of more than 4 hours; it may not be in the
interest of clients if the liquidity of investment holdings is diminished at a
potentially sensitive time, such as that around a shareholder meeting.
1.3
Proxy Voting Authority
1.3.1
Authority Overview
An important dimension of Invescos 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.
Proxy voting policy follows two streams, each defining where discretion to
exercise voting power should rest with Invesco as the investment manager
(including its ability to outsource the function), or with individual mandate
clients.
Under the first alternative, Invescos role would be both to make voting
decisions, for pooled funds and on individual mandate clients behalf, and to
implement those decisions.
Under the second alternative, where IM clients retain voting control, Invesco has no
role to play other than administering voting decisions under instructions from our
clients on a cost recovery basis.
1.3.2
Individually-Managed Clients
IM clients may elect to retain voting authority or delegate this authority to Invesco.
If delegated, Invesco will employ either ISS or ASCI guidelines (selected at
inception by the client) but at all times Invesco Investment Managers will retain the
ability to override any decisions in the interests of the client. Alternate overlays
and ad hoc intervention will not be allowed without Board approval.
In cases where voting authority is delegated by an individually-managed client,
Invesco recognises its responsibility to be accountable for the decisions it makes.
Some individually-managed clients may wish to retain voting authority for themselves,
or to place conditions on the circumstances in which it can be exercised by investment
managers
1
.
The choice of this directive will occur at inception or at major review events only.
Individually managed clients will not be allowed to move on an ad hoc basis between
delegating control to the funds manager and full direct control.
1
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 that 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. Such arrangements will be costed into
administration services at inception.
1.3.3
Pooled Fund Clients
The funds manager is required to act solely in the collective
interests of unit holders at large rather than as a direct agent or delegate
of each unit holder. 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.
Invescos accountability to pooled fund clients in exercising its fiduciary
responsibilities is best addressed as part of the managers broader client
relationship and reporting responsibilities.
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 unit
holders in the pooled fund as a whole.
All proxy voting decisions may be delegated to an outsourced
provider, but Invesco investment managers will retain the ability to override
these decisions in the interests of fund unit holders.
1.4
Key Proxy Voting Issues
1.4.1
Issues Overview
Invesco will consider voting requirements on all issues at all company meetings
directly or via an outsourced provider. We will generally not announce our voting
intentions and the reasons behind them.
1.4.2
Portfolio Management Issues
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 Invescos approach to corporate governance is
to encourage a culture of performance among the companies in which we invest in
order to add value to our clients portfolios, rather than one of mere conformance
with a prescriptive set of rules and constraints.
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.
Administrative constraints are 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, Invesco will be
in favour of the motion as most companies take seriously their duties and are
acting in the best interests of shareholders. However, reasonable consideration
of issues and the actual casting of a vote on all such resolutions would entail an
unreasonable administrative workload and cost. For this reason, Invesco may
outsource all or part of the proxy voting function at the expense of individual
funds. 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.
1.5
Internal Proxy Voting Procedure
In situations where an override decision is required to be made or where the
outsourced provider has recused itself from a vote recommendation, the
responsible Investment Manager will have the final say as to how a vote will be
cast.
In the event that a voting decision is considered not to be in the best
interests of a particular client or where a vote is not able to be cast, a
meeting may be convened at any time to determine voting intentions. The meeting
will be made up of at least three of the following:
1.6
Client Reporting
Invesco will keep records of its proxy voting activities, directly or through outsourced
reporting.
Upon client election, Invesco will report quarterly or annually to the client on proxy
voting activities for investments owned by the client.
A record will be kept of the voting decision in each case by Invesco or its outsourced
provider. 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.

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 Invescos 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 shareholders 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 enterprises 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.
2.1
An important dimension of Invescos 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, Invescos 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 clients 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
clients 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.
2.4.6
Accordingly, Invesco will pursue the following policies with respect to the exercise
of proxy voting authority for individually-managed clients:
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, Invescos accountability to pooled fund clients in exercising its fiduciary
responsibilities is best addressed as part of the managers 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:
3.1
This section outlines Invescos 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 Invescos 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:
3.6
Administrative Issues
3.6.1
In addition to the portfolio management issues outlined above, Invescos 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.
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.
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.
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
Invescos ability to influence a custodians 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:
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 Invescos 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 clients mandate):

This column reflects investments in a Funds shares owned directly by a
portfolio manager or beneficially owned by a portfolio manager (as determined in accordance with
Rule 16a-1(a) (2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). A portfolio manager is
presumed to be a beneficial owner of securities that are held by his or her immediate family
members sharing the same household.
2
These are accounts of individual investors for which Invesco Aims affiliate,
Invesco Aim Private Asset Management, Inc. (IAPAM) provides investment advice. IAPAM
offers separately managed accounts that are managed according to the investment models
developed by Invesco Aims portfolio managers and used in connection with the management of
certain AIM Funds. IAPAM accounts may be invested in accordance with one or more of those
investment models and investments held in those accounts are traded in accordance with the
applicable models.

This amount includes 1 fund that pays performance-based fees with $146.6M in
total assets under management.
4
This amount includes 1 fund that pays performance-based fees with $28.8M in
total assets under management.
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.

commissions were reduced due to reduced transaction cost, primarily caused by a reduction in

and

(in either case, the account must be established by an Individual or have an Individual

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.
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 purchasers responsibility at the time of purchase to specify the account
numbers that should be considered in determining the appropriate sales charge.
The offering price may be further reduced as described below under Rights of
Accumulation if Invesco Investment Services, Inc., the Invesco 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.
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.
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 purchasers 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.
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.

1 | STATEMENT OF GENERAL PRINCIPLES |
1.1 | As a fiduciary, Invesco owes an undivided duty of loyalty to its clients. It is Invescos policy that all employees conduct themselves so as to avoid not only actual conflicts of interest with Invesco clients, but also that they refrain from conduct which could give rise to the appearance of a conflict of interest that may compromise the trust our clients have placed in us. | ||
1.2 | The Code is designed to ensure, among other things, that the personal securities transactions of all employees are conducted in accordance with the following general principles: |
1.2.1 | A duty at all times to place the interests of Invescos clients first and foremost; | ||
1.2.2 | The requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted in a manner consistent with this Code and in such a manner as to avoid any actual, potential or appearance of a conflict of interest or any abuse of an employees position of trust and responsibility; and | ||
1.2.3 | The requirement that employees should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions. |
1.3 | Invescos policy is to avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest but, where they unavoidably occur, to record, manage, and disclose them to prevent abuse and protect our clients, employees and other counterparties. | ||
1.4 | Invesco does not make political contributions with corporate funds. No employees may, under any circumstances, use company funds to make political contributions, nor may you represent your personal political views as being those of the company. | ||
1.5 | Invesco seeks to do business with clients and suppliers on a fair and equitable basis. Employees may not accept or provide gifts, entertainment or other non-monetary benefits of an unreasonable value which could create a conflict with the duty owed to clients. Any limits imposed by our business units policies, local laws, or |
Page 3 of 26
regulations with respect to the acceptance or provision of gifts, entertainment and non-monetary benefits must be complied with. | |||
1.6 | Legislation exists to protect employees who blow the whistle about wrongdoing within the Firm. This legislation encourages employees to raise concerns internally in the first instance. Invesco employees should feel able to raise any such concerns internally, confident that it will be dealt with properly and that all reasonable steps will be taken to prevent victimisation. If employees wish to report concerns anonymously they can call the Invesco Compliance Reporting Line. The telephone number is 1-704-943-1136 | ||
1.7 | It is Invesco UK policy, in the context of being an Asset Manager, to treat its customers fairly. | ||
1.8 | No employee should have ownership in or other interest in or employment by any outside concern which does business with Invesco Ltd. This does not apply to stock or other investments in a publicly held company, provided that the stock and other investments do not, in the aggregate, exceed 5% of the outstanding ownership interests of such company. Invesco Ltd may, following a review of the relevant facts, permit ownership interests which exceed these amounts if management or the Board of Directors, as appropriate, concludes that such ownership interests will not adversely affect Invescos business interests or the judgment of the affected staff. | ||
1.9 | Employees are prohibited from using personal hedging strategies or remuneration or liability related contracts of insurance to undermine any risk alignment effects embedded in their remuneration arrangements. This includes, for instance, entering into an arrangement with a third party under which that third party will make payments directly, or indirectly, to the employee that are linked to, or commensurate with, the amounts by which the employees remuneration is subject to reductions arising from the implementation of the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD3) and the FSAs Remuneration Code. |
2 | MATERIAL, NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION |
2.1 | Restriction on Trading or Recommending Trading Each employee is reminded that it constitutes a violation of law and/or Market Abuse regulations for any person to trade in or recommend trading in the securities of a company while in possession of material, non-public information concerning that company, or to disclose such information to any person not entitled to receive it if there is reason to believe that such information will be used in connection with a trade in the securities of that company. Violations of law and regulations may give rise to civil as well as criminal liability, including the imposition of monetary penalties or prison sentences upon the individuals involved. Tippees (i.e, persons who receive material, non-public information) also may be held liable if they trade or if they do not trade but pass along such information to others. | ||
2.2 | What is material, non-public information? Material information is any information about a company which, if disclosed, is likely to affect the market price of the companys securities or to be considered important by an average investor in deciding whether to purchase or sell those securities. Examples of information which should be presumed to be material are matters such as dividend increases or decreases, earnings estimates by the company, changes in the companys previously released earnings estimates, significant new products or discoveries, major litigation by or against the company, liquidity or solvency problems, extraordinary management developments, significant merger or acquisition proposals, or similar major events which would be viewed as having materially altered the total mix of information available regarding the company or the market for any of its securities. Further examples can be found in the FSA Market Abuse Handbook. |
Page 4 of 26
2.3 | Non-public information, often referred to as inside information, is information that has not yet been publicly disclosed. Information about a company is considered to be non-public information if it is received under circumstances which indicate that it is not yet in general circulation and that such information may be attributable, directly or indirectly, to the company or its insiders, or that the recipient knows to have been furnished by someone in breach of a fiduciary obligation. Courts have held that fiduciary relationships exist between a company and another party in a broad variety of situations involving a relationship between a company and its lawyers, investment bankers, financial printers, employees, technical advisors and others. | ||
2.4 | Information should not be considered to have been publicly disclosed until a reasonable time after it has been made public (for example, by a press release). Someone with access to inside information may not beat the market by trading simultaneously with, or immediately after, the official release of material information. | ||
2.5 | The responsibility of ensuring that the proposed transaction does not constitute insider dealing or a conflict with the interests of a client remains with the relevant employee and obtaining pre-clearance to enter into a transaction under Section 3.3 below does not absolve that responsibility. | ||
2.6 | Invesco is in a unique position, being privy to market research and rumours and being privy also to information about its clients which may be public companies. Invesco employees must be aware and vigilant to ensure that they cannot be accused of being a party of any insider dealing or market abuse situations. | ||
2.7 | In particular, the following investment activities must not be entered into without carefully ensuring that there are no implications of insider trading: |
2.7.1 | Trading in shares for a client in any other client of Invesco which is quoted on a recognised stock exchange. | ||
2.7.2 | Trading in shares for a client in a quoted company where Invesco: |
i) | obtains information in any official capacity which may be price sensitive and has not been made available to the general public. | ||
ii) | obtains any other information which can be substantiated in connection with a quoted company which is also both price sensitive and has not been made available to the general public. |
2.7.3 | Manipulation of the market through the release of information to regular market users which is false or misleading about a company. | ||
2.7.4 | Release of information about a company that would have the effect of distorting the market in such a way to be considered market abuse. |
2.8 | Reporting Requirement. Whenever an employee believes that he or she may have come into possession of material, non-public information about a public company, he or she personally must immediately notify the Compliance Department and should not discuss such information with anyone else including Invesco employees and should not engage in transactions for himself or others, including Invesco clients. | ||
2.9 | Upon receipt of such information the Compliance Department will include the company name on the IVZ Restricted list in respect of which no transactions may be entered into. This list will be advised to the Equity dealing desk and no discussion will be entered into. Whenever an employee is aware of the reason why a company has been included on the IVZ Restricted list but nevertheless wishes to deal in a fund which contains the stock of that company, this must be |
Page 5 of 26
notified to the European Director of Compliance to decide whether the deal will be permitted, | |||
2.10 | Confidentiality. No information regarding the affairs of any client of Invesco may be passed to anyone outside Invesco unless specifically requested by law, regulation or court order. In any event, the Compliance and Legal Department must be consulted prior to furnishing such information. | ||
2.11 | Employees should maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Company and their fellow employees. External publication or distribution of internal company information, policies or procedures is prohibited except when disclosure is properly authorised by the functional owner of the information or legally mandated. Employees should make all reasonable efforts to safeguard such information that is in their possession against inadvertent disclosure and shall comply with any non-disclosure obligations imposed on Invesco in its agreements with third parties | ||
2.12 | Sanctions. Any employee who knowingly trades or recommends trading while in possession of material, non-public information may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, as well as to immediate suspension and/or dismissal from Invesco. |

Page 6 of 26
3.3.2 | After receiving the completed Trade Authorisation Form, UK Equity Dealers will review the information set forth in the form and, as soon as practicable, will determine whether to clear the proposed Securities Transaction, subject to local requirements. | ||
3.3.3 | Once UK Equity Dealers have authorised the transaction, it is passed electronically to Compliance to complete the authorisation process again this is conducted electronically by e-mail. UK Equity Dealers will forward the authorised Form to *UK- Compliance Personal Share Dealing , who will then check the proposed transaction against the significant holdings/block list to ascertain whether or not the security in question has been blocked. | ||
3.3.4 | If satisfactory, then the Form will be authorised by Compliance and confirmation returned by e-mail to the individual, who will then be at liberty to deal through his or her broker within the designated timescales. | ||
3.3.5 | No order for a Securities Transaction for which pre-clearance authorisation is sought may be placed prior to the receipt of authorisation of the transaction by both the UK Equity Dealers and Compliance. The authorisation and date and time of the authorisation must be reflected on the Trade Authorisation Form (see Appendix C). The original of the completed form will be kept as part of Invescos books and records, and matched to the copy contract note (or equivalent) that the member of staff must ensure is sent by their broker to Invesco. | ||

If, during this period, employees gain non-public price sensitive information, they must notify compliance immediately and cancel the trade. For those employees who are members of the Blackout Group, normal Blackout restrictions continue to apply; therefore, any such limit or stop loss order which remains outstanding when a closed period starts must be cancelled by the employee. Where trades involving limit or stop loss orders are approved, further pre-clearance is required before these orders can be changed. | ||
3.3.8 | For any transaction to buy or sell Invesco Limited ordinary shares pre clearance needs only to be sought from Compliance. The trade authorisation form which should be completed in the way detailed above and sent to *UK- Compliance Personal Share Dealing . |

4 | TRADE RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL INVESTING |
4.1 | All transactions in Covered Accounts which are subject to the preclearance requirements specified in this Code are also subject to the following trading restrictions: |
Page 8 of 26
4.1.1 | Blackout Restrictions Transactions in Covered Accounts generally will not be permitted during a specific period before and after a client account trades in the same security or instrument. | ||
4.1.2 | Blackout Periods An employee may not buy or sell, or permit any Covered Account to buy or sell, a security or any instrument: |
i) | within three business days before or after the day on which any client account trades in the same security or instrument or in a security convertible into or exchangeable for such security or instrument (including options) on transactions other than those covered under the paragraph below, or | ||
ii) | within two business days before or after the day on which a pro rata strip trade, which includes such security, is made for the purpose of rebalancing client accounts. |
4.1.3 | Blackout periods will no longer apply to equity and corporate bond transactions in main index constituents, i.e. FTSE 100, Dow Jones, etc, subject to a cost and proceeds limit of £25,000 per transaction for equities and £50,000 nominal per transaction for corporate bonds. Normal blackout conditions will apply to transactions outside of these criteria. If in any doubt please consult the European Director of Compliance. On a case by case basis and at the discretion of the European Director of Compliance in consultation with the Chief Investment Officer, this limit may be relaxed. | ||
4.1.4 | Trades effected by Invesco for the account of an index fund it manages in the ordinary course of such funds investment activity will not trigger the blackout period. However, the addition or removal of a security from an index, thereby triggering an index fund trade, would cause employee trades in such security to be blacked-out for the seven prior and subsequent calendar days, as described above. | ||
4.1.5 | In the event there is a trade in a client account in the same security or instrument within a blackout period, the employee may be required to close out the position and to disgorge any profit to a charitable organisation chosen by the local Board of Directors; provided, however, that if an employee has obtained preclearance for a transaction and a subsequent client trade occurs within the blackout period, the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the European Director of Compliance, upon a demonstration of hardship or extraordinary circumstances, may determine to review the application of the disgorgement policy to such transaction and may select to impose alternative restrictions on the employees position. The disgorgement of profits will only apply if the total profit exceeds £100 within the blackout period. | ||
4.1.6 | Invesco Ltd Shares Pre-clearance is required to buy or sell Invesco Ltd Shares. For staff who have been advised that they are part of the Blackout Group, permission will not be given during a closed period. | ||
Persons within the Blackout Group are determined on a quarterly basis and will be notified that they have been added to or removed from the list. | |||
In line with the Invesco Insider Trading Policy, the closed periods for each quarter commence on 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and 15 December respectively and end on the second business day following the Companys issue of the relevant earnings release. | |||
Full details of the Invesco stock transaction Pre-Clearance Guide and restrictions for all employees of Invesco can be found in Appendix F. |
Page 9 of 26
4.1.7 | Invesco Investment Trusts Staff dealing in Invesco Investment Trusts will also be subject to closed periods as dictated by each of the Trusts. | ||
4.1.8 | UK ICVCs and other affiliated schemes will be subject to the Short Term Trading restrictions (60 day rule see 4.1.9). The preferential rate of sales charge allowed to staff will be withdrawn in circumstances where it is apparent that the employee has traded on a short term basis in those shares i.e. where previous transactions by that person have resulted in the short term holding of those investments. Shares of UK ICVCs and affiliated schemes will not be accepted for redemption if the funds themselves are closed for redemption due to the effects of subsequent market or currency movements. | ||
4.1.9 | Short Term Trading Profits It is Invescos policy to restrict the ability of employees to benefit from short-term trading in securities and instruments. Employees must disgorge profits made on the sale by an employee of any security or instrument held less than 60 days and will not be permitted to purchase any security or instrument that has been sold by such employee within the prior 60 days. Employees are required to disgorge profits made on the sale in a Covered Account within the 60 days period. Exceptions may be granted by the Compliance Department on a case by case basis. This policy applies to trading in all types of securities and instruments, except where in a particular case the European Director of Compliance in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer has made a specific finding of hardship and it can be demonstrated that no potential abuse or conflict is presented (for example, when an employees request to sell a security purchased within 60 days prior to the request is prompted by a major corporate or market event, such as a tender offer, and the security was not held in client accounts). This section (4.1.9) will not apply to Financial Spread Betting transactions which have been approved under the Exceptions section (4.1.16) of this Policy. | ||
4.1.10 | Initial Public Offerings No employee may purchase or permit any Covered Account to purchase a security offered pursuant to an initial public offering, except in a Venture Capital Trust, wherever such offering is made. However where the public offering is made by a Government of where the employee is resident and different amounts of the offering are specified for different investor types e.g. private and institutional, the European Director of Compliance may allow such purchases after consultation with the local Chief Executive Officer or his designee. | ||
4.1.11 | Privately-Issued Securities Employees may not purchase or permit a Covered Account to purchase or acquire any privately-issued securities, other than in exceptional cases specifically approved by the local Chief Executive Officer (e.g. where such investment is part of a family-owned and operated business venture that would not be expected to involve an investment opportunity of interest to any Invesco client). Requests for exceptions should be made in the first instance to the European Director of Compliance. | ||
4.1.12 | Employees, however, may invest in interests in private investment funds (i.e. hedge funds) that are established to invest predominantly in public securities and instruments, subject to the pre-clearance procedures, trading restrictions and reporting requirements contained in this Code. Employees may also invest in residential co-operatives and private recreational clubs (such as sports clubs, country clubs, luncheon clubs and the like) for their personal use; such investments are not subject to the pre-clearance procedures, trading restrictions |
Page 10 of 26
and reporting requirements unless the employees investing is part of a business conducted by the employee. Such ownership should be reported to the European Director of Compliance. |
4.1.13 | Short Sales An employee may not sell short a security unless this is specifically related to personal taxation issues. Requests for exceptions should be made to the European Director of Compliance. | ||
4.1.14 | Financial Spread Betting Employees may not enter into Financial Spread betting arrangements unless they have applied in writing to do so under the Exceptions section of this Policy (4.1.16) and have received written confirmation that this is permitted. Exceptions will not be granted for Financial Spread Betting on single stocks but, depending on the circumstances, spread betting on Exchange Rates, Main Indices and Government Bonds may be allowed on an exceptions basis. | ||
4.1.15 | Futures Employees may not write, sell or buy exchange-traded futures, synthetic futures, swaps and similar non-exchange traded instruments. | ||
4.1.16 | Exceptions The Chief Executive Officer or his designee in consultation with the European Director of Compliance may, on a case by case basis, grant exceptions from these trading restrictions upon written request. Any exceptions granted will be reported to the local Board of Directors at least annually. |
5 | ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, CONFIDENTIALITY AND OUTSIDE DIRECTORSHIPS |
5.1 | In order to reduce potential conflicts of interest arising from the participation of employees on the boards of directors of public, private, non-profit and other enterprises, all employees are subject to the following restrictions and guidelines: |
5.1.1 | An employee may not serve as a director of a public company without the approval of the European Director of Compliance. | ||
5.1.2 | An employee may serve on the board of directors or participate as an adviser or otherwise, or advisers of a private company only if: |
(i) | client assets have been invested in such company and having a seat on the board would be considered beneficial to our clients interest; and | ||
(ii) | service on such board has been approved in writing by the European Director of Compliance. The employee must resign from such board of directors as soon as the company contemplates going public, except where the European Director of Compliance has determined that an employee may remain on a board. In any event, an employee shall not accept any compensation for serving as a director (or in a similar capacity) of such company; any compensation offered shall either be refused or, if unable to be refused, distributed pro rata to the relevant client accounts. |
5.1.3 | An employee must receive prior written permission from the European Director of Compliance or his designee before serving as a director, trustee or member of an advisory board of either: |
(i) | any non-profit or charitable institution; or |
Page 11 of 26
(ii) | a private family-owned and operated business. |
5.1.4 | An employee may serve as an officer or director of a residential co-operative, but must receive prior written permission from the European Director of Compliance before serving as a director if, in the course of such service, he or she gives advice with respect to the management of the co-operatives funds. | ||
5.1.5 | If an employee serving on the board of directors or advisers of any entity comes into possession of material, non-public information through such service, he or she must immediately notify the European Director of Compliance. | ||
5.1.6 | An Invesco employee shall not take personal advantage of any economic opportunity properly belonging to an Invesco Client or to Invesco itself. Such opportunities could arise, for example, from confidential information belonging to a client or the offer of a directorship. Employees must not disclose information relating to a clients intentions, activities or portfolios except: |
i) | to fellow employees, or other agents of the client, who need to know it to discharge their duties; or | ||
ii) | to the client itself. |
5.1.7 | Employees may not cause or attempt to cause any Client to purchase, sell or hold any Security in a manner calculated to create any personal benefit to the employee or Invesco. | ||
5.1.8 | If an employee or immediate family member stands to materially benefit from an investment decision for an Advisory Client that the employee is recommending or participating in, the employee must disclose that interest to persons with authority to make investment decisions and to the European Director of Compliance. Based on the information given, a decision will be made on whether or not to restrict the employees participation in causing a client to purchase or sell a Security in which the employee has an interest. | ||
5.1.9 | An employee must disclose to those persons with authority to make investment decisions for a Client (or to the European Director of Compliance if the employee in question is a person with authority to make investment decisions for the Client), any Beneficial Interest that the employee (or immediate family) has in that Security or an Equivalent Security, or in the issuer thereof, where the decision could create a material benefit to the employee (or immediate family) or the appearance of impropriety.

1 | STATEMENT OF GENERAL PRINCIPLES |
1.1 | As a fiduciary, Invesco owes an undivided duty of loyalty to its clients. It is Invescos policy that all employees conduct themselves so as to avoid not only actual conflicts of interest with Invesco clients, but also that they refrain from conduct which could give rise to the appearance of a conflict of interest that may compromise the trust our clients have placed in us. | |
1.2 | The Code is designed to ensure, among other things, that the personal securities transactions of all employees are conducted in accordance with the following general principles: |
1.2.1 | A duty at all times to place the interests of Invescos clients first and foremost; | ||
1.2.2 | The requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted in a manner consistent with this Code and national legal & regulatory requirements and in such a manner as to avoid any actual, potential or appearance of a conflict of interest or any abuse of an employees position of trust and responsibility; and | ||
1.2.3 | The requirement that employees should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions. |
1.3 | Invescos policy is to avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest but, where they unavoidably occur, to record, manage, and disclose them to prevent abuse and protect our clients, employees and other counterparties | |
1.4 | Invesco does not make political contributions with corporate funds. No employees may, under any circumstances, use company funds to make political contributions, nor may you represent your personal political views as being those of the company. | |
1.5 | Invesco seeks to do business with clients and suppliers on a fair and equitable basis. Employees may not accept or provide gifts, entertainment or other non-monetary benefits of an unreasonable |
Page 3 of 23
value which could create a conflict with the duty owed to clients. Any limits imposed by our business units policies, local laws, or regulations with respect to the acceptance or provision of gifts, entertainment and non-monetary benefits must be complied with. | ||
1.6 | Legislation exists to protects employees who blow the whistle about wrongdoing within the Firm. This legislation encourages employees to raise concerns internally in the first instance. Invesco employees should feel able to raise any such concern internally, confident that it will be dealt with properly and that all reasonable steps will be taken to prevent victimisation. If employees wish to report concerns anonymously they can call the Invesco Compliance Reporting Line. The telephone number is 1-704-943-1136 | |
1.7 | It is Invesco policy, in the context of being an Asset Manager, to treat its customers fairly. | |
1.8 | No employee should have ownership in or other interest in or employment by any outside concern which does business with Invesco Ltd. This does not apply to stock or other investments in a publicly held company, provided that the stock and other investments do not, in the aggregate, exceed 5% of the outstanding ownership interests of such company. Invesco Ltd may, following a review of the relevant facts, permit ownership interests which exceed these amounts if management or the Board of Directors, as appropriate, concludes that such ownership interests will not adversely affect Invesco Ltds business interests or the judgment of the affected staff. | |
1.9 | Employees are prohibited from using personal hedging strategies or remuneration or liability related contracts of insurance to undermine any risk alignment effects embedded in their remuneration arrangements. This includes, for instance, entering into an arrangement with a third party under which that third party will make payments directly, or indirectly, to the employee that are linked to, or commensurate with, the amounts by which the employees remuneration is subject to reductions arising from the implementation of the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD3). |
2 | MATERIAL, NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION |
2.1 | Restriction on Trading or Recommending Trading | |
Each employee is reminded that it constitutes a violation of law and/or Market Abuse regulations for any person to trade in or recommend trading in the securities of a company while in possession of material, non-public information concerning that company, or to disclose such information to any person not entitled to receive it if there is reason to believe that such information will be used in connection with a trade in the securities of that company. Violations of law and regulations may give rise to civil as well as criminal liability, including the imposition of monetary penalties or prison sentences upon the individuals involved. Persons who receive material, non-public information also may be held liable if they trade or if they do not trade but pass along such information to others. | ||
2.2 | What is material, non-public information? | |
Material information is any information about a company which, if disclosed, is likely to affect the market price of the companys securities or to be considered important by an average investor in deciding whether to purchase or sell those securities. Examples of information which should be presumed to be material are matters such as dividend increases or decreases, earnings estimates by the company, changes in the companys previously released earnings estimates, significant new products or discoveries, major litigation by or against the company, liquidity or solvency problems, extraordinary management developments, significant merger or acquisition proposals, or similar major events which would be viewed as having materially altered the total mix of information available regarding the company or the market for any of its securities. | ||
2.3 | Non-public information | |
Non-public information often referred to as inside information is information that has not yet been publicly disclosed. Information about a company is considered to be non-public information if it is received under circumstances which indicate that it is not yet in general circulation and that |
Page 4 of 23
such information may be attributable, directly or indirectly, to the company or its insiders, or that the recipient knows to have been furnished by someone in breach of a fiduciary obligation. Courts have held that fiduciary relationships exist between a company and another party in a broad variety of situations involving a relationship between a company and its lawyers, investment bankers, financial printers, employees, technical advisors and others. | ||
2.4 | Information should not be considered to have been publicly disclosed until a reasonable time after it has been made public (for example, by a press release). Someone with access to inside information may not beat the market by trading simultaneously with, or immediately after, the official release of material information. | |
2.5 | The responsibility of ensuring that the proposed transaction does not constitute insider dealing or a conflict with the interests of a client remains with the relevant employee and obtaining pre-clearance to enter into a transaction under Section 3.3 below does not absolve that responsibility. | |
2.6 | Invesco is in a unique position, being privy to market research and rumours and being privy also to information about its clients which may be public companies. Invesco employees must be aware and vigilant to ensure that they cannot be accused of being a party of any insider dealing or market abuse situations. | |
2.7 | In particular, the following investment activities must not be entered into without carefully ensuring that there are no implications of insider trading: |
2.7.1 | Trading in shares for a client in any other client of Invesco which is quoted on a recognised stock exchange. | ||
2.7.2 | Trading in shares for a client in a quoted company where Invesco: |
i) | obtains information in any official capacity which may be price sensitive and has not been made available to the general public. | ||
ii) | obtains any other information which can be substantiated in connection with a quoted company which is also both price sensitive and has not been made available to the general public. |
2.7.3 | Manipulation of the market through the release of information to regular market users which is false or misleading about a company. | ||
2.7.4 | Release of information about a company that would have the effect of distorting the market in such a way to be considered market abuse. |
2.8 | Reporting Requirement | |
Whenever an employee believes that he or she may have come into possession of material or non-public information about a public company, he or she personally must immediately notify the Compliance Department and should not discuss such information with anyone else including Invesco employees and should not engage in transactions for himself or others, including Invesco clients. | ||
2.9 | Upon receipt of such information the Compliance Department will include the company name on the IVZ Restricted list of which no transactions may be entered into. This list will be advised to the Equity dealing desk and no discussion will be entered into. Whenever an employee is aware of the reason why a company has been included on the IVZ Restricted list but nevertheless wishes to deal in a fund which contains the stock of that company, this must be notified to the local Compliance Officer to decide whether the deal will be permitted. | |
2.10 | Confidentiality | |
No information regarding the affairs of any client of Invesco may be passed to anyone outside Invesco unless specifically requested by law, regulation or court order. In any event, the Compliance and Legal Department must be consulted prior to furnishing such information. |
Page 5 of 23
2.11 | Employees should maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Company and their fellow employees. External publication or distribution of internal company information, policies or procedures is prohibited except when disclosure is properly authorised by the functional owner of the information or legally mandated. Employees should make all reasonable efforts to safeguard such information that is in their possession against inadvertent disclosure and shall comply with any non-disclosure obligations imposed on Invesco in its agreements with third parties | |
2.12 | Sanctions | |
Any employee who knowingly trades or recommends trading while in possession of material, non-public information may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, as well as to immediate suspension and/or dismissal from Invesco. |
3 | PERSONAL INVESTING ACTIVITIES, PRE-CLEARANCE AND PRE-NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS |
3.1 | Transactions covered by this Code | |
All transactions in investments made for Covered Accounts are subject to the pre-clearance procedures, trading restrictions, pre-notification and reporting requirements described below, unless otherwise indicated. For a list of the types of employee and other accounts which fall within the definition of Covered Accounts please see Appendix B. | ||
3.2 | Exempt Investments | |
Transactions in the following investments (Exempt Investments) are not subject to the trading restrictions or other requirements of this Code and need not be pre-cleared, pre-notified or reported: |
3.2.1 | Registered unaffiliated (e.g. Schroders) open ended Collective Investment Schemes [CIS] including; mutual funds, open-ended investment companies/ICVCs or unit trusts but not closed-end funds, e.g. Investment Trusts; and | ||
3.2.2 | Securities which are direct obligations of an OECD country (e.g. US Treasury Bills). |
3.3 | Pre-Clearance |
3.3.1 | Prior to entering an order for a Securities Transaction in a Covered Account, the employee must complete a Trade Authorisation Form (available on the Compliance intranet site) and submit the completed form electronically to the Compliance department by e-mail. | ||
The Trade Authorisation Form requires employer to provide certain information and to make certain representations in connection with the specific securities transaction(s). | |||
3.3.2 | If satisfactory, then the Form will be authorised by Compliance and confirmation returned by e-mail to the individual, who will then be at liberty to deal through his or her broker within the designated timescales. | ||
3.3.3 | No order for a Securities Transaction for which pre-clearance authorisation is sought may be placed prior to the receipt of authorisation from Compliance. The authorisation and date and time of the authorisation must be reflected on the Trade Authorisation Form. The original of the completed form will be kept as part of Invescos books and records. Further, the employee is requested to send a copy of the transaction note to their local Compliance Officer in order for it to be matched to the Trade Authorisation Form. Any mismatches will be reported to the Director of European Compliance. | ||
3.3.4 | If an employee receives permission to trade a security or instrument, the trade must be executed by the close of business on the next business day, unless the local Compliance Officers authorisation to extend this period has been obtained. |
Page 6 of 23
Permission may be granted to place Stop loss and limit orders but only in cases where express clearance for this type of transaction has been granted by Compliance. | |||
3.3.5 | Where an employee receives permission to buy or sell Invesco Limited ordinary shares on the basis of a limit or stop loss order, the pre-clearance remains valid for up to two weeks or until the trade takes place if this is sooner; if the trade does not take place within two weeks, employees must notify Compliance again and seek further pre-clearance to trade. If, during this period, employees gain non-public price sensitive information, they must notify compliance immediately and cancel the trade. For those employees who are members of the Blackout Group, normal Blackout restrictions continue to apply; therefore, any such limit or stop loss order which remains outstanding when a closed period starts must be cancelled by the employee. Where trades involving limit or stop loss orders are approved, further pre-clearance is required before these orders can be changed. | ||
3.3.6 | For any transaction to buy or sell Invesco Ltd ordinary shares pre clearance needs to be sought from Compliance. The trade authorisation form should be completed in the way detailed above and sent to *UK- Compliance Personal Share Dealing. |
3.4 | Pre-Notification |
3.4.1 | Transactions to buy or sell Venture Capital Trust ordinary securities or to buy, sell, switch or transfer holdings in Invesco Ltd ordinary shares, Invesco funds or investment products or other affiliated schemes are subject to pre-notification directly to the Compliance Department regardless of whether the order is placed directly or through a broker/adviser. The employee must complete the relevant sections of the Trade Authorisation Form which can be found on the Compliance intranet site and send it by e-mail to *UK- Compliance Personal Share Dealing. Transactions are subject to the 60 day holding period requirements. | ||
3.4.2 | It will be necessary to send copies of contract notes to the Compliance Department. This must be done within 14 days of the transaction. |
3.5 | Transactions that do not need to be pre-cleared but must be reported. | |
The pre-clearance requirements (and the trading restrictions on personal investing described below) do not apply to the following transactions: |
3.5.1 | Discretionary Accounts | ||
Transactions effected in any Covered Account over which the employee has no direct or indirect influence or control (a Discretionary Account). An employee shall be deemed to have no direct or indirect influence or control over an account only if all of the following conditions are met: |

ii) | the employee (and, where applicable, the family member or significant other) certifies in writing that he or she has not and will not discuss any potential investment decisions with such independent fiduciary or household member; and | ||

4 | TRADE RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL INVESTING |
4.1 | All transactions in Covered Accounts which are subject to the pre-clearance requirements specified in this Code are also subject to the following trading restrictions: |
4.1.1 | Blackout Restrictions | ||
Transactions in Covered Accounts generally will not be permitted during a specific period before and after a client account trades in the same security or instrument. | |||
4.1.2 | Blackout Periods | ||
An employee may not buy or sell, or permit any Covered Account to buy or sell, a security or any instrument: |
i) | within three business days before or after the day on which any client account trades in the same security or instrument or in a security convertible into or exchangeable for such security or instrument (including options) on transactions other than those covered under the paragraph below, or | ||
ii) | within two business days before or after the day on which a pro rata strip trade, which includes such security, is made for the purpose of rebalancing client accounts. |
4.1.3 | Exemptions from Blackout Periods | ||
Blackout periods will no longer apply to equity and corporate bond transactions in main index constituents, i.e. FTSE 100, Dow Jones, etc, subject to a cost and proceeds limit of 35.000 EUR per transaction for equities and 70,000 EUR per transaction for corporate bonds. Normal blackout conditions will apply to transactions outside of these criteria. If in any doubt please consult your local Compliance Officer. On a case by case basis and at the discretion of the Compliance Officer in consultation with the Chief Investment Officer, this limit may be relaxed. |
Page 8 of 23
4.1.4 | Trades effected by Invesco for the account of an index fund it manages in the ordinary course of such funds investment activity will not trigger the blackout period. However, the addition or removal of a security from an index, thereby triggering an index fund trade, would cause employee trades in such security to be blacked-out for the seven prior and subsequent calendar days, as described above. | ||
4.1.5 | In the event there is a trade in a client account in the same security or instrument within a blackout period, the employee may be required to close out the position and to disgorge any profit to a charitable organisation chosen by the local Board of Directors; provided, however, that if an employee has obtained pre-clearance for a transaction and a subsequent client trade occurs within the blackout period, the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Compliance Officer, upon a demonstration of hardship or extraordinary circumstances, may determine to review the application of the disgorgement policy to such transaction and may select to impose alternative restrictions on the employees position. The disgorgement of profits will only apply if the total profit exceeds 150 EUR within the blackout period. | ||
4.1.6 | Invesco Ltd Shares | ||
Pre-clearance is also required to buy or sell Invesco Ltd Shares. For staff who have been advised that they are part of the Blackout Group, permission will not be given during a closed period. | |||
Persons within the Blackout Group are determined on a quarterly basis and will be notified that they have been added to or removed from the list. | |||
In line with the Invesco Insider Trading Policy, the Blackout Periods for each quarter commence on 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and 15 December and end on the second business day following the Companys issue of the relevant earnings release. | |||
Full details of the Invesco Ltd stock transaction Pre-Clearance Guide and restrictions for all employees of Invesco Ltd can be found on the Compliance intranet site. | |||
4.1.7 | Invesco Investment Trusts | ||
Staff dealing in Invesco Investment Trusts will also be subject to closed periods as dictated by each of the Trusts. | |||
4.1.8 | UK ICVCs, the Offshore Global Product Range (GPR) | ||
and other affiliated schemes are subject to the Short Term Trading restrictions (60 day rule see 4.1.9). The preferential rate of sales charge allowed to staff will be withdrawn in circumstances where it is apparent that the employee has traded on a short term basis in those shares i.e. where previous transactions by that person have resulted in the short term holding of those investments. Shares of UK ICVCs, the GPR and affiliated schemes will not be accepted for redemption if the funds themselves are closed for redemption due to the effects of subsequent market or currency movements. | |||
4.1.9 | Short Term Trading Profits | ||
It is Invescos policy to restrict the ability of employees to benefit from short-term trading in securities and instruments. Employees must disgorge profits made on the sale by an employee of any security or instrument held less than 60 days and will not be permitted to purchase any security or instrument that has been sold by such employee within the prior 60 days. Employees are required to disgorge profits made on the sale in a Covered Account within the 60 days period. Exceptions may be granted by the Compliance Department on a case by case basis. This policy applies to trading in all types of securities and instruments, except where in a particular case the local Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Compliance Officer has made a specific finding of hardship and it can be demonstrated that no potential abuse or conflict is presented (for example, when an employees request to sell a security purchased within 60 days prior to the request is prompted by a major corporate or market event, such as a tender offer, and the security was not held in client accounts). This section (4.1.9) will not apply to Financial Spread Betting |
Page 9 of 23
transactions which have been approved under the Exceptions section (4.1.16) of this Policy. | |||
4.1.10 | Initial Public Offerings | ||
No employee may purchase or permit any Covered Account to purchase a security offered pursuant to an initial public offering, wherever such offering is made except in a Venture Capital Trust. However, in certain circumstances an employee may be permitted to buy an IPO for example where the public offering is made by a Government of where the employee is resident and different amounts of the offering are specified for different investor types e.g. private and institutional, the local Compliance Officer may allow such purchases after consultation with the local Chief Executive Officer or his designee. | |||
4.1.11 | Privately-Issued Securities | ||
Employees may not purchase or permit a Covered Account to purchase or acquire any privately-issued securities, other than in exceptional cases specifically approved by the local Chief Executive Officer (e.g. where such investment is part of a family-owned and operated business venture that would not be expected to involve an investment opportunity of interest to any Invesco client). Requests for exceptions should be made in the first instance to the local Compliance Officer. | |||
4.1.12 | Private Investment Funds | ||
Employees, however, may invest in interests in private investment funds (i.e. hedge funds) that are established to invest predominantly in public securities and instruments, subject to the pre-clearance procedures, trading restrictions and reporting requirements contained in this Code. Employees may also invest in residential co-operatives and private recreational clubs (such as sports clubs, country clubs, luncheon clubs and the like) for their personal use; such investments are not subject to the pre-clearance procedures, trading restrictions and reporting requirements unless the employees investing is part of a business conducted by the employee. Such ownership should be reported to the Compliance Officer. | |||
4.1.13 | Short Sales | ||
An employee may not sell short a security unless this is specifically related to personal taxation issues. Requests for exceptions should be made to the local Compliance Officer. | |||
4.1.14 | Financial Spread Betting | ||
Employees may not enter into Financial Spread betting arrangements unless they have applied in writing to do so under the Exceptions section of this Policy (4.1.16) and have received written confirmation that this is permitted. Exceptions will not be granted for Financial Spread Betting on single stocks but, depending on the circumstances, spread betting on Exchange Rates, Main Indices and Government Bonds may be allowed on an exceptions basis. | |||
4.1.15 | Futures | ||
Employees may not write, sell or buy exchange-traded futures, synthetic futures, swaps and similar non-exchange traded instruments. | |||
4.1.16 | Exceptions | ||
The Chief Executive Officer or his designee in consultation with the Compliance Officer may in on a case by case basis grant exceptions from these trading restrictions upon written request. Any exceptions granted will be reported to the local Board of Directors at least annually. Additionally if a local Board or its designee wish to impose additional restrictions these should be communicated to the staff. |

5.2 |

5.2.2 | An employee may serve on the board of directors or participate as an adviser or otherwise, or advisers of a private company only if: |
(i) | client assets have been invested in such company and having a seat on the board would be considered beneficial to our clients interest; and | ||
(ii) | service on such board has been approved in writing by the local Chief Executive Officer. The employee must resign from such board of directors as soon as the company contemplates going public, except where the local Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Compliance Officer has determined that an employee may remain on a board. In any event, an employee shall not accept any compensation for serving as a director (or in a similar capacity) of such company; any compensation offered shall either be refused or, if unable to be refused, distributed pro rata to the relevant client accounts. |
5.2.3 | An employee must receive prior written permission from the Chief Executive Officer or his designee before serving as a director, trustee or member of an advisory board of either: |
(i) | any non-profit or charitable institution; or | ||
(ii) | a private family-owned and operated business. |
5.2.4 | An employee may serve as an officer or director of a residential co-operative, but must receive prior written permission from the local Chief Executive Officer and the local Compliance Department before serving as a director if, in the course of such service, he or she gives advice with respect to the management of the co-operatives funds. | ||
5.2.5 | If an employee serving on the board of directors or advisers of any entity comes into possession of material, non-public information through such service, he or she must immediately notify the local Compliance Officer. | ||
5.2.6 | An Invesco employee shall not take personal advantage of any economic opportunity properly belonging to an Invesco Client or to Invesco itself. Such opportunities could arise, for example, from confidential information belonging to a client or the offer of a directorship. Employees must not disclose information relating to a clients intentions, activities or portfolios except: |
i) | to fellow employees, or other agents of the client, who need to know it to discharge their duties; or | ||
ii) | to the client itself. |
5.2.7 | Employees may not cause or attempt to cause any Client to purchase, sell or hold any Security in a manner calculated to create any personal benefit to the employee or Invesco. | ||
5.2.8 | If an employee or immediate family member stands to materially benefit from an investment decision for an Advisory Client that the employee is recommending or participating in, the employee must disclose that interest to persons with authority to make investment decisions and to the local Compliance Officer. Based on the information given, a decision will be made on whether or not to restrict the employees participation in causing a client to purchase or sell a Security in which the employee has an interest. | ||
5.2.9 | An employee must disclose to those persons with authority to make investment decisions for a Client (or to the Compliance Officer if the employee in question is a person with authority to make investment decisions for the Client), any Beneficial Interest that the employee (or immediate family) has in that Security or an Equivalent Security, or in the issuer thereof, where the decision could create a material benefit to the employee (or immediate family) or the appearance of impropriety. The person to whom the employee reports the interest, in consultation with the Compliance Officer, must determine whether or not the employee will be restricted in making investment decisions. |
