n | Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to a derivative transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations (including because of bankruptcy or insolvency) to make principal or interest payments to the Fund, when due, which may cause losses or additional costs to the Fund. |
n | Leverage Risk. Leverage exists when the Fund purchases or sells a derivative instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction and the Fund could lose more than it invested. The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covering transactions that may give rise to such risk. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds portfolio securities. The use of some derivative instruments may result in implicit leverage, which does not result in the possibility of the Fund incurring obligations beyond its investment, but that nonetheless permits the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument. The Fund does not segregate assets or otherwise cover investments in derivatives with implicit leverage. |
n | Correlation Risk. To the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or reducing exposure, there is the risk of imperfect correlation between movements in the value of the derivative instrument and the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. To the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging purposes, there is the risk during extreme market conditions that an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits at all. |
n | Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to close out a derivative position because the trading market becomes illiquid or the availability of counterparties becomes limited for a period of time. To the extent that the Fund is unable to close out a derivative position because of market illiquidity, the Fund may not be able to prevent further losses of value in its derivatives holdings and the liquidity of the Funds other assets may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of its otherwise liquid assets marked as segregated to cover its obligations under such derivative instruments. The Fund may also be required to take or make delivery of an underlying instrument that the Adviser would otherwise have attempted to avoid. |
n | Tax Risk. The use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. The Funds use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company. The tax treatment of derivatives may be affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legal authority that could affect the character, timing and amount of the Funds taxable income or gains and distributions to shareholders. |
n | Market Risk. Derivatives are subject to the market risks associated with their underlying instruments, which may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations. Derivatives may be subject to heightened and evolving government regulations, which could increase the costs of owning certain derivatives. |
n | Interest Rate Risk. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to interest rate risk, which is the risk that prices of fixed income instruments generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, prices of fixed income instruments generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific fixed income instruments differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. |
n | Management Risk . The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Funds portfolio managers in connection with investing in derivatives may not produce the desired results. |
n | market leadership position with the potential for additional growth; | |
n | value added products or services with pricing power; | |
n | sustainable growth in revenue, earnings and cash flow; | |
n | potential to improve profitability and return on capital; and | |
n | a strong balance sheet, appropriate financial leverage and a prudent use of capital. |

Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R,
Class Y and Class R5, respectively and total return
would have been lower. Net gains on securities (both realized

A person who has been authorized in the account application to
effect transactions may make redemptions by telephone. You must
call the transfer agent before the close of the customary
trading session of the NYSE on days the NYSE is open for
business in order to effect the redemption at that days
closing price.

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 on sale or
redemption of your 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. An exchange occurs when the
purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the proceeds from a
redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the
same day as the redemption. Your gain or loss is calculated by
subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross
proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1,
2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be
reported to you and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Cost
basis will be calculated using the Funds default method of
average cost, unless you instruct the Fund to use a different
calculation method. As a service to you, the Fund will continue
to provide to you (but not the IRS) cost basis information for
shares acquired before 2012, when available, using the average
cost method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis
information provided by a Fund and make any additional basis,
holding period or other adjustments that are required when
reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If
you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee),
please contact that broker (nominee) with respect to reporting
of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more
information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco,
please refer to the Tax Center located under the
Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.Invesco.com/us.
n
The conversion of shares of one class of the Fund into shares of
another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income
tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the
transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs
automatically pursuant to the terms of the class or is initiated
by the shareholder.
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 (for distributions and proceeds
paid after December 31, 2012, the rate is scheduled to rise to
31% unless the 28% rate is extended or made permanent).
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
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, an
additional 3.8% Medicare tax will be imposed on certain net
investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain
distributions received from a Fund and net gains from
redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of
U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
persons modified adjusted gross income (in the
case of an individual) or adjusted gross income (in
the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount.
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, unless such
municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
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 IRS 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
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund each have received a PLR
from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked
note is qualifying income. The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund also has received a PLR from the IRS confirming that income
derived by the Fund from its Subsidiary is qualifying income.
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund has applied to
the IRS for a PLR relating to its Subsidiary. However, the IRS
has suspended issuance of any further PLRs pending a review of
its position.
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.

Distribution Requirement the Fund must distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income and 90% of its net tax-exempt income, if any, for the tax year (certain distributions made by the Fund after the close of its tax year are considered distributions attributable to the previous tax year for purposes of satisfying this requirement).
Income Requirement the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived from its business of investing in such
stock, securities or currencies and net income derived from qualified publicly traded partnerships (QPTPs).
Asset Diversification Test the Fund must satisfy the following asset diversification test at the close of each quarter of the Funds tax year: (1) at least 50% of the value of the Funds assets must consist of cash and cash items, U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and securities of other issuers (as to which the Fund has not invested more than 5% of the value of the Funds total assets in securities of an issuer and as to which
the Fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer); and (2) no more than 25% of the value of the Funds total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies) or of two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses, or, collectively, in the securities of QPTPs.
First-In First-Out shares acquired first in the account are the first shares depleted.
Last-In First-Out shares acquired last in the account are the first shares depleted.
High Cost shares acquired with the highest cost per share are the first shares depleted.
Low Cost shares acquired with the lowest cost per share are the first shares depleted.
Loss/Gain Utilization depletes shares with losses before gains,
consistent with the objective of minimizing taxes. For shares that yield a loss, shares
owned one year or less (short-term) will be depleted ahead of shares owned more than
one year (long-term). For gains, long-term shares will be depleted ahead of short-term
gains.
Specific Lot Identification shareholder selects which lots to deplete
at time of each disposition. Transaction amount must be in shares. If insufficient shares are identified at the time of disposition, then a secondary default method of

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 and Stewardship
1.
Introduction
Invesco Perpetual (IP), a business name of Invesco Asset Management Limited, has adopted a
clear and considered policy towards its responsibility as a shareholder on behalf of all
investors in portfolios managed by them. As part of this policy, IP will take steps to
satisfy itself about the extent to which the companies in which it invests look after
shareholders value in their companies and comply with local recommendations and practices,
such as the UK Corporate Governance Code issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the
U.S. Department of Labor Interpretive Bulletins.
IP has a responsibility to optimise returns to its investors. As a core part of the
investment process, IPs 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.
Being a major shareholder in a company is more than simply expecting to benefit in its
future earnings streams. In IPs view, it is about helping to provide the capital it needs
to grow, it is about being actively involved in its strategy and it is about helping to
ensure that shareholder interests are always at the forefront of managements thoughts.
IP considers that shareholder activism is fundamental to good Corporate Governance. Although
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, with a view to protecting and enhancing value for our
investors in our portfolios.
Engagement will also be proportionate and will reflect the size of holdings, length of
holding period and liquidity of the underlying company shares. This is because in most of
IPs investment jurisdictions, the only effective remedy of last resort available to
shareholders, other than liquidating their share ownership, is the removal of directors.
2.
Scope
The scope of this policy covers all portfolios that are managed by the IP investment teams
located in Henley on Thames, United Kingdom and specifically excludes portfolios that are
managed by other investment teams within the wider Invesco group that have their own voting,
corporate governance and stewardship policies. As an example, within IPs ICVC range the
following funds are excluded: IP UK Enhanced Index, IP US Equity Benchmark Plus, IP Hong
Kong & China, IP Japanese Smaller Companies, IP Global Balanced Index Fund, IP Global ex-UK
Core Equity and the IP Global ex-UK Enhanced Index.
3.
Responsible voting
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.
Policy on Corporate Governance and Stewardship
In voting for or against a proposal, IP will have in mind three objectives, as follows:
To protect the rights of its investors
To minimise the risk of financial or business impropriety within the companies in
which its clients are invested, and
To protect the long-term value of its clients investments.
It is important to note that, when exercising voting rights, the third option of abstention
can also be used as a means of expressing dissatisfaction, or lack of support, to a board on
any 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 actively exercise the voting rights represented by the shares it manages on behalf
of its investors where it is granted the discretion to do so. In certain circumstances the
discretion is retained by the client, where they wish to be responsible for applying their
own right to vote.
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 the time around a
shareholder meeting
.
4.
Voting procedures
IP will endeavour to keep under regular review with trustees, depositaries, custodians and
third party proxy voting services the practical arrangements for circulating company
resolutions and notices of meetings and for exercising votes in accordance with standing or
special instructions. Although IPs proxy voting service will provide research and
recommendations for each resolution, each fund manager will cast their vote independently
considering their own research and dialogue with company management.
Proxy voting research and services are currently provided by Institutional Shareholder
Services (ISS), part of the RiskMetrics Group.
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). However, IP does not currently
enter into any stock lending arrangements as it believes the facility does not support
active shareholder engagement.
5.
Dialogue with companies
IP will endeavour, where practicable in accordance with its investment approach, 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 of particular relevance to shareholder value.
Policy on Corporate Governance and Stewardship
Those people on the inside of a company, most obviously its executives, know their
businesses much more intimately. Therefore, it is usually appropriate to leave strategic
matters in their hands. However, if that strategy is not working, or alternatives need
exploring, IP will seek to influence the direction of that company where practicable. In
IPs view, this is part of its responsibility to investors, where possible, in shaping
strategy. Ultimately the business performance will have an impact on the returns generated
by IPs portfolios, whether it is in terms of share price performance or dividends, and IP
wants to seek to ensure that the capital IP has invested on behalf of its clients is being
used as effectively as possible. In the majority of cases IP is broadly in agreement with
the direction of a company that it has invested in, as its initial decision to invest will
have taken these factors into account. But these issues demand regular re-evaluation, which
can only be achieved through company meetings.
The building of this relationship facilitates frank and open discussion, and ongoing
interaction is an integral part of the fund managers role. The fact that IP has been a
major shareholder in a number of companies for a long time, in particular within its
domestic UK portfolios, reflects both the fact that IPs original investment was based on a
joint understanding of where the business was going and the ability of the management to
execute that plan. Inevitably there are times when IPs views diverge from those of the
companys executives but, where possible, it attempts to work with the company towards a
practical solution. However, IP believes that its status as part-owner of a company means
that it has both the right and the responsibility to make its views known. The option of
selling out of that business is always open, but normally IP prefers to push for change,
even if this can be a slow process.
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
Socially Responsible Investing policies
6.
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 proposals would be all political donations and any proposal made 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:
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
Peer group response to the issue in question
Whether implementation would achieve the objectives sought in the proposal
Whether the matter is best left to the Boards discretion.
Policy on Corporate Governance and Stewardship
7.
Evaluation of companies environmental, social and governance arrangements
At IP, each fund manager is individually responsible for environmental, social and
governance (ESG) matters, rather than utilising ESG professionals or an internal / external
discrete team independent from the fund management process. ESG issues are deemed as an
essential component of the fund managers overall investment responsibilities. Additionally,
fund managers may call on the support of the IP Operations team on any ESG matter.
As mentioned in Section 5, company meetings are an integral part of IPs investment research
approach and discussions at these meetings include all matters that might affect the share
price, including ESG issues.
IPs research is structured to give it a detailed understanding of a companys key
historical and future, long-term business drivers, such as demand for its products, pricing
power, market share trends, cash flow and management strategy. This enables IPs investment
teams to form a holistic opinion of management strategy, the quality of the management, an
opinion on a companys competitive position, its strategic advantages/ disadvantages, and
corporate governance arrangements, thus incorporating any inherent ESG issues.
IP will, when evaluating companies governance arrangements, particularly those
relating to board structure and composition, give due weight to all relevant factors brought
to its attention.
8.
Disclosure and reporting
Although IP acknowledges initiatives of transparency, it is also very aware of its fiduciary
duty and the interests of all investors in portfolios managed by them. As such, IP is very
cognisant that disclosure of any meeting specific information may have a detrimental affect
in its ability to manage its portfolios and ultimately would not be in the best interests of
all shareholders. Primarily, this is for investor protection and to allow IPs fund managers
to manage their portfolios in the interests of all its clients.
Although IP does not report specific findings of company meetings for external use, regular
illustrations will be provided to demonstrate that active engagement is at the heart of its
investment process.
For clients with individual mandates, (i.e. not invested in a fund), IP may discuss specific
issues where it can share details of a clients portfolio with that specific client.
Occasionally, where IP has expressed strong views to management over matters of governance,
those views have gained media attention, but IP will never seek to encourage such debates in
the media.
On request from investors, IP will in good faith provide records of voting instructions
given to third parties such as trustees, depositaries and custodians provided that:
In IPs view, it does not conflict with the best interests of other investors and
It is understood that IP will not be held accountable for the expression of views
within such voting instructions and
IP is not giving any assurance nor undertaking nor has any obligation to ensure
that such instructions resulted in any votes actually being cast. Records of voting
instructions within the immediate preceding three months will not normally be
provided for activities within the funds managed by IP.
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
Policy on Corporate Governance and Stewardship
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.
9.
The UK Stewardship Code
The UK Stewardship Code (the Code)issued by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) aims to
enhance the quality of engagement between institutional investors and companies to help
improve long-term returns to shareholders and the efficient exercise of governance
responsibilities. The Code sets out seven principles, which support good practice on
engagement with UK investee companies and to which the FRC believes institutional investors
should aspire. The Code is applied on a comply or explain approach. IP sets out below how
it complies with each principle or details why it chooses not to.
Principle 1
Institutional investors should publicly disclose their policy on how they will discharge
their stewardship responsibilities
.
IP complies with Principle 1 and publishes the Invesco Perpetual Policy on Corporate
Governance and Stewardship on its website
http://investor.invescoperpetual.co.uk/portal/site/ipinvestor/aboutus/ukstewardshipcode/
Principle 2
Institutional investors should have a robust policy on managing conflicts of interest in
relation to stewardship and this policy should be publicly disclosed.
IP complies with Principle 2 by meeting its regulatory requirement of having an effective
Conflicts of Interest Policy. Any conflicts of interest arising through its stewardship of
investee companies will be handled in accordance with that policy.
In respect of stewardship, IP anticipates the opportunity for conflicts arising would be
limited, e.g. where it invests in a company that is also a broker (i.e. dealing) of, or
client of IP.
Principle 3
Institutional investors should monitor their investee companies.
As an active shareholder, IP complies with Principle 3. Through its investment process, fund
managers endeavour to establish on a proportionate basis ongoing dialogue with company
management and this is likely to include regular meetings. In discussions with company
boards and senior non-Executive Directors, IP will explore any concerns about corporate
governance where these may impact on the best interests of clients, together with any other
matters of particular value to shareholders.
Meeting company boards of investee companies is a core part of IPs investment process and
IP is committed to keeping records of all future key engagement activities.
When casting votes on behalf of investors, IP keeps detailed records of all instructions
given in good faith to third parties such as trustees, depositories and custodians. Although
the rationale for voting in a particular manner is not automatically captured through the
voting process, the individually responsible fund manager would be expected to be able to
clearly articulate their decision whenever required.
Policy on Corporate Governance and Stewardship
Principle 4
Institutional investors should establish clear guidelines on when and how they will escalate
their activities as a method of protecting and enhancing shareholder value.
IP complies with Principle 4 with its fund managers managing corporate governance matters
independently being a key part of their investment process to protect and add value on
behalf investors. Initially any issues / concerns would be raised by its fund managers
through IPs process of ongoing dialogue and company meetings. On occasions that a fund
manager believes an issue is significant enough to be escalated, this will be done through
IPs Chief Investment Officer (CIO) and the IP Operations team who will ensure the relevant
internal resources are made available to support the fund manager in securing the most
appropriate outcome for IPs clients.
Principle 5
Institutional investors should be willing to act collectively with other investors where
appropriate.
IP is supportive of collective engagement in cases where objectives between parties are
mutually agreeable and, as they pertain to the UK market, are not in breach of concert
party rules. Other shareholders can engage directly with the relevant fund manager or
through an investment adviser. Alternatively, enquiries can be directed to the members of
the IP Operations team detailed below:
Charles Henderson Head of IP Operations and Dealing
Dan Baker IP Operations Manager
Principle 6
Institutional investors should have a clear policy on voting and disclosure of voting
activity.
As detailed in Section 3, IP is committed to voting on all the UK stocks it holds for its
underlying investors and where it has the full discretion to do so. Whilst comprehensive
records of IPs voting instructions are maintained, IP does not report specifically on its
voting activity. Whilst being mindful of its fiduciary duty and the interest of all
investors, IP believes that automatic public disclosure of its voting records may have a
detrimental affect on its ability to manage its portfolios and ultimately would not be in
the best interest of all shareholders.
On specific requests from clients, IP will in good faith provide records of voting
instructions given to third parties such as trustees, depositaries and custodians subject to
limitations detailed in Section 8.
Principle 7
Institutional investors should report periodically on their stewardship and voting
activities.
IP complies with Principle 7 through a commitment to provide regular illustrations of
its engagement activities and to respond to voting record requests from investors in its
portfolios on an individual basis.
Although IP does not report specific findings of company meetings for external use, regular
illustrations will be provided to demonstrate that active engagement is at the heart of its
investment process. On request from investors, IP will in good faith provide records of
voting instructions given to third parties such as trustees, depositaries and custodians
subject to certain limitations outlined in Section 8. Although the rationale for its voting
decision is not captured through the voting process, individual fund managers would be
expected to articulate their decision whenever required.

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:
Chief Executive Officer;
Head of Operations & Finance;
Head of either Legal or Compliance; and
Relevant Investment Manager(s).
1.6
Client 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:
contentious issues (eg. issues of perceived national interest, or where there has been extensive press coverage or public comment);
approval of changes of substantial shareholdings;
mergers or schemes of arrangement; and
approval of major asset sales or purchases.
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
Corporate Action Team, located within the Client Administration section. The initial
role of the Corporate Action 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 Corporate Action
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 Corporate Action 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):

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.

Mr. Voss began serving as portfolio manager of Invesco Summit Fund on June 4, 2012. Information for Mr. Voss has been provided as of May 31, 2012.
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.

Each purchase of Fund shares normally subject to an initial sales charge made

the applicable public offering price is, look at the sales charge table in the section
on Initial Sales Charges above).

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, and additional purchases will be subject to
the appropriate breakpoint sales charge based on the accounts current Right of
Accumulation value.
If the intended investment is not completed, the purchaser generally 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.

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

other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs,
executors, administrators or other legal representatives, or, in the case
of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or general successor) shall

1. | Invesco agrees that until the expiration date, if any, of the commitment set forth on the attached Exhibit B occurs, as such Exhibit B is amended from time to time, Invesco will waive advisory fees payable by an Investing Fund (defined below) in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco receives on the Uninvested Cash (defined below) from the Affiliated Money Market Fund (defined below) in which the Investing Fund invests (the Waiver). |
i. | Invescos Fund Accounting Group will calculate, and apply, the Waiver monthly, based upon the average investment of Uninvested Cash made by the Investing Fund during the previous month in an Affiliated Money Market Fund. | ||
ii. | The Waiver will not apply to those Investing Funds that do not charge an advisory fee, either due to the terms of their advisory agreement, or as a result of contractual or voluntary fee waivers. | ||
iii. | The Waiver will not apply to cash collateral for securities lending. |
(a) | Affiliated Money Market Fund any existing or future Trust that holds itself out as a money market fund and complies with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; | ||
(b) | Investing Fund any Fund investing Cash Balances and/or Cash Collateral in an Affiliated Money Market Fund; and |
(c) | Uninvested Cash cash available and uninvested by a Trust that may result from a variety of sources, including dividends or interest received on portfolio securities, |
unsettled securities transactions, strategic reserves, matured investments, proceeds from liquidation of investment securities, dividend payments, or new investor capital. | |||
2. | Neither a Trust nor Invesco may remove or amend the Waiver to a Trusts detriment prior to requesting and receiving the approval of the Board of Trustee of the applicable Funds Trust to remove or amend such Waiver. Invesco will not have any right to reimbursement of any amount so waived. |
