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.
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
A portion of income dividends paid by a Fund to you may be
reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by
individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates,
provided certain holding period requirements are met. These
reduced rates generally are available 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 a 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.
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. This
Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you on, and paid
with, your federal income tax return.
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
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires the
reporting to the IRS of certain direct and indirect ownership of
foreign financial accounts by U.S. persons. Failure to provide
this required information can result in a generally
nonrefundable 30% tax on: (a) income dividends paid by the
Fund after December 31, 2013 and (b) certain capital gain
distributions (including proceeds arising from the sale of Fund
shares) paid by the Fund after December 31, 2016 to certain
foreign financial institutions and
non-financial foreign entities.
n
You will not be required to include the
exempt-interest portion of dividends paid by the
Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes
or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8%
Medicare tax. 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 (upon which only the fund that
received the PLR can rely), 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. 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.

more closely reflects the performance of the types of securities
in which the Fund invests.

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 economic 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 economic
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

analysis used by the Funds portfolio managers in
connection with investing in derivatives may not produce the
desired results.

Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the

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
A portion of income dividends paid by a Fund to you may be
reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by
individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates,
provided certain holding period requirements are met. These
reduced rates generally are available 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 a 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.
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. This
Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you on, and paid
with, your federal income tax return.
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
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires the
reporting to the IRS of certain direct and indirect ownership of
foreign financial accounts by U.S. persons. Failure to provide
this required information can result in a generally
nonrefundable 30% tax on: (a) income dividends paid by the Fund
after December 31, 2013 and (b) certain capital gain
distributions (including proceeds arising from the sale of Fund
shares) paid by the Fund after December 31, 2016 to certain
foreign financial institutions and
non-financial foreign entities.
n
You will not be required to include the
exempt-interest portion of dividends paid by the
Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes
or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8%
Medicare tax. 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 (upon which only the fund that
received the PLR can rely), 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. 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.

the Fund must distribute an amount equal to the sum
of 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

year for purposes of satisfying this requirement).
Income Requirement
¾
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
¾
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

(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 or securities of

First-In First-Out
¾
shares acquired first in the account are the first shares

Last-In First-Out
¾
shares acquired last in the account are the first shares
depleted.
High Cost
¾

Specific Lot Identification
¾
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 first-in
first-out will be applied.

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.
I.2 - 2
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.
I.2 - 3
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.
I.2 - 4
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.

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 shareholder 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 clients. As a core
part of the investment process, IPs fund managers will endeavour to
establish a dialogue with company 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 a company needs to grow, about being
actively involved in its strategy, when necessary, and helping to
ensure that shareholder interests are always at the forefront of
managements thoughts.
IP primarily defines stewardship as representing the best interests
of clients in its fiduciary role as a discretionary asset manager
(not asset owner) and as an institutional shareholder, i.e. an
organization which pools large sums of money and invest those sums in
securities, real property and other investment assets. This is
considered more appropriate than undertaking the stewardship of
investee companies, which we believe should always remain the
responsibility of the directors and executives of those companies. IP
may at times seek to influence strategies of investee companies,
where appropriate, on behalf of its clients, but IP will never seek
to be involved in the day to day running of any investee companies.
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 Hong Kong & China, IP Japanese Smaller Companies,
IP Global Balanced Index, IP Global ex-UK Core Equity Index, IP
Global ex-UK Enhanced Index and the IP Balanced Risk 6, 8 and 10
funds.

3.
Responsible voting
One important means of putting shareholder responsibility into
practice is via the exercising of voting rights. In deciding whether
to vote, IP will take into account such factors as the likely impact
of voting on management activity, and where expressed, the preference
of clients in portfolios managed by them. As a result of these two
factors, IP will tend to vote on all UK, European and US shares but
to vote on a more selective basis on other shares. (See Appendix I -
Voting on shares listed outside of the UK, Europe and the US).
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 voting for or against a proposal, IP will have in mind three objectives, as follows:
-
To protect the rights of its clients
-
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 clients 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.

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.
03
5.
Dialogue with companies
IP will endeavour, where practicable and in accordance with its
investment approach, to enter into a dialogue with companies
management 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
investee company shareholder value.
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 review, which can only be achieved
through company meetings.
The building of this relationship facilitates frank and open
discussion, and on-going 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
investments were based on a joint understanding of where the
businesses were going and the ability of the companies management to
execute that plan. Inevitably there are times when IPs views diverge
from those of the companies executives but, where possible, it
attempts to work with companies towards a practical solution.
However, IP believes that its status as part-owner of companies means
that it has both the right and the responsibility to make its views
known. The option of selling out of those businesses 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 companies 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.
04
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 Investment Management 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 companiesgovernance 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
effect in its ability to manage its portfolios and ultimately would
not be in the best interests of all clients. 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, it will seek to provide regular illustrations 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 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.

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.
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, which sets out how it will discharge its stewardship responsibilities, on the
About us page on its website:
www.invescoperpetual.co.uk
The following is a summary:
IP primarily defines stewardship as representing the best interests of clients in its fiduciary
role as a discretionary asset manager (not asset owner) and as an institutional shareholder, i.e.
an organization which pools large sums of money and invest those sums in securities, and other
investment assets. This is considered more appropriate than undertaking the stewardship of investee
companies, which we believe should always remain the responsibility of the directors and executives
of those companies. IP may at times seek to influence strategies of investee companies, where
appropriate, on behalf of its clients, but IP will never seek to be involved in the day to day
running of any investee companies. As a result, in the interests of the beneficiaries of the assets
under its management, IP will engage with investee companies on strategy, share value performance,
risk, capital structure, governance, culture, remuneration and other significant matters that may
be subject to voting in a general meeting and of proportional interest in terms of value discovery
in a business.
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.
This Invesco UK Conflicts of Interest Policy is available on request and covers potential conflicts
of interest in relation to stewardship. The Conflicts of Interest Policy defines a conflict of
interest as a situation where there is a material risk of damage to the interests of a client
arising because of the interests of Invesco and our clients differ and any client and those of
another client differ. As UK Stewardship is carried out in our clients interests, there are
limited opportunities for conflicts of interest arising and, where they do, these are managed
appropriately.
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, on-going 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. As part of the engagement
process IP fund managers may choose to be made insiders (i.e. to be made privy to material,
non-public information) to protect and/or enhance investor value. In such circumstances they will
follow IPs regulatory required policy and processes to mitigate against market abuse, principally
by systematically blocking any trading in insider securities.
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.
06
9.
The UK Stewardship Code
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 on-going 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 Investment Management 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.
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, there are no conflicts of interest 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 any of the below:
-
Stuart Howard Head of IP Investment Management Operations
-
Dan Baker IP Investment Management Operations Manager
-
Charles Henderson UK Equities Business Manager
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 (together with European
and US) 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 effect on its ability to manage its portfolios and ultimately
would not be in the best interest of all clients.
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.
IP uses ISS to process its voting decisions and the ABIs IVIS service for research for UK
securities. Its instructions to ISS include a default instruction to vote with management, which is
used only on the rare occasion when instructions are not successfully transmitted to ISS. IP will
also consider the need to attend and vote at general meetings if issues prevent the casting of
proxy votes within required time limits.
IP does not enter into stock lending arrangements which might impact the voting process.
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, we will seek to
provide illustrations 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.
IP currently does not obtain an independent opinion on its engagement and voting processes as it
believes any value for its clients from such an opinion is outweighed by the costs of obtaining
such an opinion. There is also no material demand from clients to provide such an independent
assurance.

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:
ä
contentious issues (eg. issues of perceived national interest, or where there has been extensive press coverage or public comment);
ä
approval of changes of substantial shareholdings;
ä
mergers or schemes of arrangement; and
ä
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):

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:
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.

These are accounts of individual
investors for which Invesco provides investment advice. Invesco offers
separately managed accounts that are managed according to the investment models
developed by its portfolio managers and used in connection with the management
of certain Invesco Funds. These 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.
o
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.
o
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.
o
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.
o
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 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 any time 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 a 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 generally 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,
and additional purchases will be subject to the appropriate breakpoint sales charge based
on the accounts current ROA 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.
Accounts linked under the LOI revert back to ROA once a LOI is met, regardless of
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 or her 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.

Item 30.
Indemnification
Indemnification provisions for officers, trustees, and employees of the Registrant are set forth in
Article VIII of the Registrants Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Article
VIII of its Amended and Restated Bylaws, and are hereby incorporated by reference. See Item 28(a)
and (b) above. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, amended and
restated effective as of September 14, 2005, (i) Trustees or officers, when acting in such capacity,
shall not be personally liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Registrant or any Trustee
or officer except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his office with the Trust; (ii) every Trustee, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under the
Delaware Statutory Trust act, the Registrants Bylaws and other applicable law; (iii) in case any
shareholder or former shareholder of the Registrant shall be held to be personally liable solely by
reason of his being or having been a shareholder of the Registrant or any portfolio or class and not
because of his acts or omissions or for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or
his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives, or, in the case of a corporation
or other entity, its corporate or general successor) shall be entitled, out of the assets belonging
to the applicable portfolio (or allocable to the applicable class), to be held harmless from and
indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability in accordance with the Bylaws
and applicable law. The Registrant, on behalf of the affected portfolio (or class), shall upon
request by the shareholder, assume the defense of any such claim made against the shareholder for any
act or obligation of that portfolio (or class).
The Registrant and other investment companies and their respective officers and trustees are insured
under a joint Mutual Fund Directors and Officers Liability Policy, issued by ICI Mutual Insurance
Company and certain other domestic insurers, with limits up to $80,000,000 (plus an additional
$20,000,000 limit that applies to independent directors/trustees only).
Section 16 of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and Invesco Advisers,
Inc. (Invesco) provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of Invesco or any of its officers,
directors or employees, that Invesco shall not be subject to liability to the Registrant or to any
series of the Registrant, or to any shareholder of any series of the Registrant for any act or
omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may
be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security. Any liability of Invesco to any
series of the Registrant shall not automatically impart liability on the part of Invesco to any other
series of the Registrant. No series of the Registrant shall be liable for the obligations of any
other series of the Registrant.
Section 10 of the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the Sub-Advisory
Contract) between Invesco, on behalf of Registrant, and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland
GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia
Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd.
(each a Sub-Adviser, collectively the Sub-Advisers) provides that the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable
for any costs or liabilities arising from any error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss
suffered by any series of the Registrant or the Registrant in connection with the matters to which
the Sub-Advisory Contract relates except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Adviser in the performance by the Sub-Adviser of its duties
or from reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under the Sub-Advisory
Contract.

■ | Invesco Stock Plans . this Policys trading restrictions apply to any elections you may make to transfer funds out of Company shares or borrow money against your Invesco stock plan if the loan will result in a liquidation of some or all of your Company stock fund balance. | ||
■ | Dividend Reinvestment Plan . This Policys trading restrictions do not apply to purchases of Company shares resulting from your reinvestment of dividends paid on Company securities under any Company dividend reinvestment plan. The trading restrictions do apply, however, to voluntary purchases of Company shares resulting from additional contributions you choose to make to any such plan, and to your election to participate in the plan or increase your level of participation in the plan. This Policy also applies to your sale of any Company shares purchased pursuant to the reinvestment plan. |
| Short Sales. You may not engage in short sales of the Invescos securities (sales of securities that are not then owned), including a sale against the box (a sale with delayed delivery). | ||
| Publicly Traded Options. You may not engage in transactions in publicly traded options, such as puts, calls and other derivative securities relating to the Invescos securities, whether on an exchange or in any other organized market. | ||
| Standing Orders. Standing orders (other than pursuant to a pre-approved trading plan that complies with SEC Rule 10b5-1) should be used only for a very brief period of time (not longer than one business day). A standing order placed with a broker to sell or purchase stock at a specified price leaves you with no control over the timing of the transaction. A standing order transaction executed by the broker when you are aware of material nonpublic information may result in unlawful insider trading. | ||
| Margin Accounts and Pledges. Securities held in a margin account or pledged as collateral for a loan may be sold without your consent by the broker if you fail to meet a margin call or by the lender in foreclosure if you default on the loan. Because a margin or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when you are aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise are not permitted to trade in Invesco securities, you are prohibited from holding Invesco securities in a margin account or pledging Invesco securities as collateral for a loan. An exception to this prohibition may be granted where you wish to pledge Invesco securities as collateral for a loan (not including margin debt) and clearly demonstrate the financial capacity to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities. If you wish to pledge Invesco securities as collateral for a loan, you must submit a request for approval to the Legal and Compliance Department at least two weeks prior to the proposed execution of documents evidencing the proposed pledge. |

10.15 | Gifts and Entertainment | |
10.15.1 | It is required that all Invesco personnel adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct, including sensitivity to actual or apparent conflicts of interest.

In addition, Invescos clients and their personnel may be subject to similar restrictions regarding the receipt of gifts or entertainment. | |
10.15.2 | This Policy establishes minimum standards to protect our Company. If the laws or regulations establish higher standards, we must adhere to those standards. | |
10.15.3 | For purposes of this Policy, a Gift is anything of value given (1) by the Company or its personnel to a Business Associate (as defined in 10.2.1), or to a member of such a persons immediate family, or (2) by a Business Associate to any INVESCO personnel, or to a member of such a persons immediate family.

10.15.4 | Entertainment involves attendance at activities, including but not limited to meals, sporting events, the theatre, parties or receptions, and similar functions. Entertainment requires the presence of both Invesco personnel and the Business Associate; unless personnel from both entities attend, the activity constitutes a Gift. The value of Entertainment includes the cost of the activity itself (for example, the cost of tickets or a meal), as well as the cost of any related activities or services provided (such as prizes, transportation, and lodging in connection with the event). Entertainment does not include research or analysts meetings provided by issuers and attended by investment personnel or industry educational events sponsored by industry groups, so long as such events are for educational or research purposes.

10.15.7 | Under no circumstances, the value of gift given or received should exceed USD 200 or HKD 1,600 per individual annually . If the value of the gift received is not able to be determined, professional judgment should be used to determine the value of the gift. Should the value exceed USD 200 or HKD 1,600, it should be returned to the donor, passed to the Human Resources or donates to the charity. Approval from Head of Department is required for providing and receiving gift, however prior approval from local Head of Compliance is not necessary. Post approval from local Head of Compliance is required. If the gift is not giving to any particular person, the gift shall be passed to Human Resources Department and distributed to the staff on a raffle basis. The gift limit is applied to each individual office. | |
10.15.8 | Employees may not give, and must tactfully refuse, any gift of cash, a gift certificate or a gift that is substantially the same as cash. Notwithstanding this requirement, employees may give or receive Lai-See (red envelopes) at Lunar New Year of an amount not more than HK$200 each. In case the amount is more than HK$200, the case must be reported to the Head of Department and the local Head of Compliance. Due to Chinese custom, it may be difficult to return the Lai-See. Therefore, the full amount should be donated to a charitable organization in Hong Kong, and the Business Associate be informed of the donation. | |
10.15.9 | Gifts should not be given to an employee of any securities firm which is making a public offering of a fund advised by Invesco nor given in connection with the acquisition of a new client by INVESCO. |

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 value which could create a conflict with the duty owed to clients. Any limits |
Page 3 of 24
|
2012 Code of Ethics (CE) |
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 | Invesco does not tolerate bribery. Employees must not offer, give request, and agree to accept or accept financial or non-financial advantages of any kind where the purpose is to influence a person to behave improperly in their decisions or actions or to reward them for having done so. Charitable donations must not be made as an inducement or reward for improper behaviour. Unofficial payments to speed up routine government or other processes must never be made, however small. These restrictions apply to Invesco staff and to anybody appointed to act on Invescos behalf and cover relationships with prospective or existing clients or business partners. Further information can be found in the Anti-Bribery Policy. | |
1.7 | 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 Hotline, 1-855-234-9780. For calls originating outside of the U.S. and Canada, toll-free telephone numbers are available and vary depending on your location. These telephone numbers are as follows: | |
Austria: 0800-291870
Belgium: 0800-77004 Czech Republic: 800-142-550 France: 0800-902500 Germany: 0800-1016582 Italy: 800-786907 Netherlands: 0800-0226174 Spain: 900-991498 Sweden: 020-79-8729 Switzerland: 0800-562907 |
Employees may also report their concerns by visiting the Invesco Compliance Reporting Hotline website at: www.invesco.ethicspoint.com. To ensure confidentiality, this telephone line and website is provided by an independent company and is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. All submissions to the Compliance Reporting Hotline will be reviewed and handled in a prompt, fair, and discreet manner. Employees are encouraged to report these questionable practices so that Invesco has an opportunity to address and resolve these before they become more significant regulatory or legal issues. | ||
1.8 | It is Invesco policy, in the context of being an Asset Manager, to treat its customers fairly. |

1.9 | 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. | |
1.10 | 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 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. This list is not exhaustive and the types of fiduciary relationships and the way in which they are formed are extensive. |

|
2012 Code of Ethics (CE) |
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 . Approval to deal in a personal capacity (i.e. in a Covered Account) in a fund which holds a stock on the IVZ Restricted List will not be granted where the stock represents over 5% of the value of the funds portfolio. | |
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 Departments 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 |
Page 6 of 24
|
2012 Code of Ethics (CE) |
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, other than those in respect of an exempted investment shown in 3.2 below, 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 do not need not be pre-notified, pre-cleared 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 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) or closed-end funds, e.g. Investment Trusts; and | ||
3.2.2 | Securities which are direct debt obligations of an OECD country (e.g. US Treasury Bills). |
3.3 | Pre-Clearance |
3.3.1 | 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-clearance by the Compliance Department regardless of whether the order is placed directly or through a broker/adviser. 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 Europe intranet site) and submit the completed form electronically to the Compliance department by e-mail to *UK- Compliance Personal Share Dealing. Transactions are subject to the 60 day holding period requirements. | ||
The Trade Authorisation Form requires employees 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 | Trading should not occur prior to receipt of authorisation: 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 |
Page 7 of 24
|
2012 Code of Ethics (CE) |
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. 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. | ||
3.3.7 | Copies of the relevant contract notes (or equivalent) must be sent to the Compliance Department. This must be done within 14 days of the transaction. |
3.4 | 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: |
i) | investment discretion for such account has been delegated in writing to an independent fiduciary and such investment discretion is not shared with the employee, or decisions for the account are made by a family member or significant other and not by, or in connection with, the employee; | ||
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 | ||
iii) | the Compliance Department has determined that the account satisfies the foregoing requirements. |

Investments in the debt obligations of Federal agencies or of state and municipal governments or agencies, (e.g. Essex Council Electricity Bond). |

Transactions which are non-volitional on the part of the employee (such as the receipt of securities pursuant to a stock dividend or merger). |
3.4.4 Automatic Transactions |
Purchases of the stock of a company pursuant to an automatic dividend reinvestment plan or an employee stock purchase plan sponsored by such company. |
3.4.5 Rights Offerings |

3.4.6 | Interests in Securities comprising part of a broad-based, publicly traded market basket or index of stocks, e.g. S & P 500 Index, FTSE 100, DAX. |
3.4.7 Non-Executive Directors transactions |
Transactions in securities, except for Invesco Ltd shares and/or UK Investment Trusts managed by Invesco, by non-executive Directors. |
3.5.8 | Note that all of the transactions described in paragraphs 3.4.1. to 3.4.7 while not subject to pre-clearance are nevertheless subject to all of the reporting requirements set forth below in paragraph 7.3. |
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 (the blackout 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 |
Page 9 of 24
|
2012 Code of Ethics (CE) |
Compliance Officer 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 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 | UK ICVCs, the Offshore Global Product Range (GPR) | ||
and other affiliated schemes are subject to the Short Term Trading restrictions (60 day rule see 4.1.8). 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. | |||
4.1.8 | 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 |
Page 10 of 24
|
2012 Code of Ethics (CE) |
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 (4.1.8) will not apply to Financial Spread Betting transactions which have been approved under the Exceptions section (4.1.15) of this Policy. | |||
4.1.9 | 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. | |||
4.1.10 | 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. | |||
4.1.11 | 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. | |||
4.1.12 | Short Sales | ||
An employee may not sell short a security. Requests for exceptions should be made to the local Compliance Officer. | |||
4.1.13 | 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 (4.1.15) 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. | |||
4.1.14 | Futures | ||
Employees may not write, sell or buy exchange-traded futures, synthetic futures, swaps and similar non-exchange traded instruments. | |||
4.1.15 | 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 | ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, CONFIDENTIALITY AND OUTSIDE DIRECTORSHIPS |
5.1 | Monitoring the use of the name of Invesco | |

5.2 | Avoiding conflicts of interests | |
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: |

(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. |

(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 |
Page 12 of 24
|
2012 Code of Ethics (CE) |
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. |
